In picking five shortcuts to focus on this is obviously not an exhaustive list, but if you find these useful then make sure to add them into your editing workflow soon.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"shortcut-no-1-add-edit\">Shortcut No. 1 &#8211; Add Edit<\/h3>\n<p>The Add Edit function in any NLE will add an edit point, a cut, into the footage on the track or tracks you have selected. Often if nothing is selected it \u00a0will cut through all the tracks on the timeline, including the audio.<\/p>\n<p>Personally I always <strong>add this shortcut to the H key<\/strong> because this puts it right next to the J K L keys (for playing backwards, pausing and playing forwards &#8211; if you tap these a couple of times you&#8217;ll get a faster speed in each direction). This means it&#8217;s all under my right hand and I can quickly shuttle through footage, adding in edits cuts as I go.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31039 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Add-edit.png\" alt=\"editing shortcuts\" width=\"255\" height=\"119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Add-edit.png 255w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Add-edit.png?resize=150,70 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This is much easier than stopping, getting the blade tool, finding the spot with the mouse, clicking on it to add an edit and then moving back to the arrow tool or some other selector tool. In one hit you&#8217;ve added edits (which in most programs will happen on the fly when playing back your video) and you haven&#8217;t had to reach for your mouse at all.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"shortcut-no-2-ripple-delete\">Shortcut No. 2 &#8211;\u00a0Ripple Delete<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31040 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Ripple-delete-1.png\" alt=\"editing shortcuts\" width=\"169\" height=\"106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Ripple-delete-1.png 214w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Ripple-delete-1.png?resize=150,93 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/p>\n<div>This tool is incredibly useful and one of the fastest ways to <strong>speed up your editing due to the cumulative returns on time saved<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<p>The Ripple Delete Tool will remove a clip, or gap that you selected and bring everything else that is happening further up the timeline back to fill in the clip or gap that you just removed. Again I always <strong>map this keyboard shortcut to the \/ (backslash) key<\/strong> because it keeps it nicely grouped around the HJKL keys and tends to be where my little finger falls naturally.<\/p>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31041\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Ripple-delete-2.png\" alt=\"editing short cuts, faster editing\" width=\"168\" height=\"106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Ripple-delete-2.png 168w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Ripple-delete-2.png?resize=150,95 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Use the Ripple Delete Tool instead of clicking on a piece of footage, deleting it and then clicking on the gap and deleting that, or lassoing or selecting everything up the timeline and moving it back. It&#8217;s much easier to do it all in one hit.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3 id=\"shortcut-no-3-frame-nudge\">Shortcut No. 3 &#8211; Frame Nudge<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31040 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/frame-nudge-1.png\" alt=\"editing short cuts for pros\" width=\"139\" height=\"71\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These next three shortcuts all revolve around the arrow key pad, with different modifiers applied. For example I always <strong>set Alt+Left Arrow <\/strong>and<strong> Alt+Right Arrow to nudge your clip one frame left or right<\/strong> for precise clip movement.<\/p>\n<p>This is much easier than trying to do things with the mouse, which can sometimes be helped or hindered by having &#8216;snapping&#8217; turned on or off. Much simpler is to be able to adjust your clip placements with the keyboard one frame at a time.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"shortcut-no-4-track-nudge\">Shortcut No. 4 &#8211; Track Nudge<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/fixed-track-nudge-1.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-101606\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/fixed-track-nudge-1-300x40.jpg\" alt=\"fixed-track-nudge-1\" width=\"300\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Similarly I always <strong>set Alt+Up Arrow <\/strong>and<strong> Alt+Down Arrow to move clips between tracks <\/strong>so that I can quickly move sound effects around on audio tracks or B-roll up on top of interviews etc, all without having to use the mouse.
