Keyboard
Every Edit mode shortcut: transport, tools, cuts, trims, marks, zoom.
Description
The AI trailer in Edit. L plays and K stops; the down arrow jumps the playhead to the next edit, twice, and the up arrow back one; M drops a marker on the ruler; = zooms the timeline in and backslash fits the whole sequence again.
- L plays and K stops (J steps back a second). Space plays and pauses.
- ↓ jumps the playhead to the next edit, ↑ to the previous one.
- M drops a marker on the ruler at the playhead.
- = zooms the timeline in, − out, and \ fits the whole sequence. ⌘-scroll zooms too.
The keys work while the pointer is anywhere but a text field. Every one is also a row in the command palette (⌘K).
