Thankfully, Adobe have been very aware of this general move towards Premiere Pro<\/strong> and has tried to make things as simple as possible.<\/p>\n In this post, you’ll learn how to make your Premiere Pro keyboard shortcuts<\/strong> mimic those found in Avid Media Composer 5, Final Cut Pro 7 or Premiere Pro<\/strong> version 5.5 (as many of the shortcuts have changed in the release of CS6).<\/p>\n In the menu bar go to ‘Edit’. \u00a0Towards the bottom you will find ‘Keyboard Shortcuts<\/strong>…’<\/p>\n ‘Keyboard Shortcuts’ Window<\/strong><\/p>\n If you simply want to load Avid, FCP or Premiere Pro CS5.5 shortcuts<\/strong> – click the drop-down and choose the option you want.<\/p>\n ‘Keyboard Shortcuts’ Window Drop-down<\/strong><\/p>\n Notice there is a very helpful search box in this menu where you can type the name of a command to find out what the corresponding keyboard shortcut<\/strong> is (if there is a shortcut assigned to that term).<\/p>\n Searching – Edit<\/strong><\/p>\n The Keyboard Shortcuts Window<\/strong> is also an editor whereby you can add, remove and change keyboard shortcuts to fit your exact workflow.<\/p>\n Start by either navigating to the command you wish to edit the shortcut for, or alternatively search for it as needed. \u00a0When you have found the item you wish to edit, select it and choose the ‘Edit’ button that will appear towards the bottom right of the panel.<\/p>\n Edit Option with Item Selected<\/strong><\/p>\n Then, simply type in the new keyboard shortcut<\/strong> that you want to assign it and it will automatically be added. If that keyboard shortcut<\/strong> happens to already be assigned to another command, you will get the following error. \u00a0Note however, the shortcut has been added to the item you chose and removed from its previous use!<\/p>\n Error Dialogue<\/strong><\/p>\n As you will see from the picture above you still have options. You could click OK and go with the change. Alternatively, you could decide that you want to Undo the change and leave the shortcut as it was (which is what I did in this example).<\/p>\n You can also clear existing keyboard shortcuts<\/strong> if you don’t use them and set them free for future use!<\/p>\n Lastly, if you do make a change, notice that the ‘Go To’ menu will become active. \u00a0Click ‘Go To” and you’ll be directed to the command that you just removed a shortcut from. \u00a0Assign it a new keyboard shortcut<\/strong> with just one click. \u00a0Nice!<\/p>\n Have a Premiere Pro shortcut<\/strong> that’s essential to your video editing?
