Hi Rohit,

Can you tell me if you’re getting a boot screen (Apple logo) when you boot up under 10.4.7 with the new Nvidia driver?

Thanks.

That’s the thing. One intuitive key combo.

Thanks!

Hi Tina,

This is pretty much it, although I would modify a couple things to fit the specific scenario illustrated in the image in the original post. The method you outlined would be for filling a space backward, same idea, just a different direction.

So for clarity, mark an out point on the sequence, back arrow to the tail of the clip on the left, pres v, then press shift O and the playhead will go to the out point, and then e for extend edit.

Reverse the arrow direction and swap I for O and in for out to do it backwards.

It’s 3 steps, but I’ll take it.

Thanks everyone!

Edit: So it looks like you can use either I or O, regardless of which direction you’re trying to extend, as long as your shift+I or O is consistent with your first I or O.

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the response.

This would indeed do the thing I’m trying to accomplish, but the only way I’m finding to move the playhead when a clip tail is selected is to either move the playhead with the mouse, which is what I’m trying to avoid, or use the j, k, l and/or space bar and arrow keys to move the playhead to the head of the next clip, which, to me at least, not very precise and as much of a bother as using the mouse.

I think Tina nailed it though.

Thanks again for your time.

I kind of had the feeling that was the case.

I’ve tried every permutation of the the ctrl, opt, and cmd+”e” and nothing is getting what I want.

Thanks for the responses.

I should also add that I can use the ‘ or arrow down key to move the playhead to the next edit, but this takes the highlight from the tail and moves it to the head of the clip the playhead is parked on, rendering the extend function unusable.

Hi Shane,

Thanks for the response.

I actually covered this about 3/4 of the way down in my original post. This works for smaller gaps, but for anything over a second or two, it gets a little tedious to fill in a large gap 10 frames at a time.

I was hoping for something like the extend function or “e” key that jumps the tail to the next clip in one or two key commands.

Thanks.

Good to know about CCC supporting FAT32 and NTFS file systems. I’ll have to give it a second look.

I love CCC and use it all the time (a couple versions back, the latest incarnation UI is too much of a headache to try to wrap my mind around).

The problem is, CCC only works with Mac formated storage media, so FAT32 and others, which the majority of acquisition media (SD, SxS, CF, and P2) seem to be, are not compatible.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it’s been tried.
