SOLVED (kinda)…

FN + UP and DOWN arrows on a MacBook Pro acts as Page Up and Page Down, eliminating need to remap those keys.

Also, T opens up the Trim window, which works well enough for my needs. A bit overkill when I just want to shave a frame or two, but it works. All good there.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

Yea, I’ve tried the Final Cut preset, but:

a) I can’t get it to do the “select edit point” and trim/roll/ripple with having to use the mouse, which is what I’m trying to avoid.

b) because it seems no developer aside from Apple has thought of the whole “hey, let’s have one key toggle between similar tools” function (B is blade tool, BB is blade all tracks, etc.), the keyboard layout is just more confusing, since it’s similar enough to get me thinking it’s like Final Cut, until I need to access one of those tools.

I’m aware of the E key as the extend edit shortcut, but I was referring more to being able to literally ripple the in point of the selection to the playhead’s position without changing the actual edit points on the clip (or clips). So basically, only the timecode location of the in and out points are changing, not the length or content of the clip.

Also, as far as moving clips to a specific point in the timeline based on timecode, my initial belief for thinking this was possible came from the fact that it seems feasible and logical to do so, and furthermore, from this passage in the Apple Final Cut Pro 6 manual:

“You can also type a regular timecode value to move the clip to that location in the Timeline.”

Is it just me, or doesn’t that seem to imply that moving to a clip to a specific timecode location seems possible!? =D
