  • Save RAM with keyboard shortcuts!

    Posted by Loren Risker on January 24, 2014 at 7:12 am

    Can’t believe I just realized this:

    You can set the keyboard properties in the key command editor. Here’s what I changed:

    Customize keyboard shortcuts:

    Clip Appearance: Clip Labels Only – option-command-w (ram saving mode – no thumbs or waveforms, really speeds it up)

    Clip Appearance: Waveform and Filmstrips – optionss-fit-w (bring back the thumbnails and the waveforms)

    Great way to boost performance quickly. Hope this helps someone!

    I don’t think this was possible with older versions, or I was looking for the wrong command…
    Thanks for the info!

    This since 10.0.9 i believe, with alt-ctrl 1 to 6 to switch Timeline views.

    I still wish there was a way to expand/reduce clip heights via shortcut too…

    I hope they get that fixed soon.

    Control Option up and down arrow will cycle through the views. No key commands for clip height in the timeline however. I have F1 and F2 mapped to Clip Labels Only and Clip Waveforms Only. F3 is mapped to Large Filmstrip. I find those three the most handy.

    Didn’t realize how much I screwed up this post:

    Search clip appearance in the keyboard command editor.

    Set Clip Labels Only (I used command-option-w) (ram saving)

    Waveforms and Filmstrips (I used command-option-f) (back to normal
