My favourite Final Cut Pro keyboard shortcuts for fast video editing

Since we talked about video editing workflow last week, I thought I’d stay in front of the computer for another one this week.

Here are some of my favourite keyboard shortcuts in FCP 10.5 to help me edit video faster. These are more basic keyboard shortcuts but still so useful for doing simple repetitive actions faster.

In this tutorial, I touch a quick and easy ways to the following actions while video editing:

• Different situations for adding clips to the timeline
• Moving clips quickly between timeline layers
• A faster alternative to the blade tool
• Compound clips and navigation
• Moving between timelines quickly
• Copying clips without writing your clipboard
• Transfer settings
• Easily and quickly control snapping on the timeline
• Precision placement of clips on your timeline
• Precision volume control

and a few more!

Stay courageous, friends!
