Any ShortCut for selecting Tracks in FCP?

Hello,
I wonder if there is any ShortCut to select the Tracks in the Timeline?
I googled, and I asked friends nobody seem to know!
Thats the only moment I need to use my Mouse/Pen, while making a rough cut.
There is a ShortCut for everything else
like moving the Tracks up and down...but for selecting them?
I dont know!
PB 1.5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

As mentioned, no keyboard shortcut to select whole tracks.
You can select clips in tracks with the keyboard, if that's what you want to do, but it's cumbersome. I'm all about using the keyboard when possible, but it's the one things that using the mouse is best for.
To select clips with the keyboard, you must really think ahead, about Ins and Outs, and AutoSelect. If, say, you wanted to select clips on Track 2 with only the keyoard, you might need to take these many steps
Mark In and Out
Or, if you need an entire track, press Command-A to select all, then X to Mark In and Out, then Shift-A to Mark Selection
Toggle Autoselect Off for all Video Tracks (Command-Numeric Zero, that's Zero on the number pad)
Toggle AutoSelect On for select video tracks (Command-Numeric Two - you guessed it, 2 on the number pad)
Toggle Autoselect Off for all Audio Tracks (Option-Numeric Zero)
Toggle AutoSelect On for select Audio tracks (Command-Numeric [track #] (for each track)
Select In and Out (Option-A)
In other words, learn to appreciate your mouse.

  • Keyboard shortcut for selecting clips

    I'd like to program a button or buttons on my control surface to select clips in the timeline. Are there keyboard shortcuts for selecting clips? (it's not "x")

    Thanks RedTruck.
    The problem with x is that it seems to mark every clip, but I think you may be on to something. Is there a keyboard command for selecting the target track? I could possibly add that command to the macro to make this work....trying to get to mouse-free editing.

  • Are there any shortcuts for creating Value Object Classes?

    Hi,
    I'm using a Remote Object to connect to my server
    (pyAMF/Django). I'm getting stuck with the creation of Value Object
    Classes. It doesn't seem very DRY to have a class on my server
    representing the data model and then have to recreate that class
    and all its properties in my Flex app.
    Are there any shortcuts for creating client side VOs from
    server side data?
    I was thinking about declaring an empty VO class in Flex, and
    then dynamically assigning/casting my Proxy object to that class.
    It seems like that approach may cause problems for the Flex
    compiler though.
    Any hints?
    Thanks!

    One thing that has helped me in that area is a free tool from
    Farata Systems called
    DTO2Fx. If you're using Java and Eclipse, it's a great time saver.
    You simply install a (very lightweight) Eclipse plugin, add a
    single annotation to your Java VO classes, and it automatically
    generates your Flex VOs. It even creates a base and extended
    version of each VO on the AS3 side so you can add code to the
    extended VO without fear of having your changes overwritten when it
    regenerates your Flex VOs.
    Here's a like to thier
    PDF that
    gives instructions and a download link. I had it up and running in
    my application in less than 30 minutes!

    serializer).

  • Shortcut for modifying tracks in bin is gone in FCP 5 ?

    Hello forum,
    I'm looking for the handy shortcut to modify the logged audiotracks in the "tracks"-column inside a bin.
    In FCP 4 I could just press "ctrl" in the tracks column and change them from 1V to 1V,2A for example.
    In FCP 5 this doesn't work anymore. It says: No shortcuts.
    So where is it gone ?
    Greetings from Munich Oktoberfest.
    Uwe

    Thanks for pointing this out. I just noticed this also. It's a big problem if anyone out there makes the mistake I often make - like forgetting to check the audio in clip settings in Log & Capture. With the control-click (or right mouse click) modifying technique Uwe talked about, you can make up for a lot of logging mistakes by doing changing the tracks column for any number of clips before batch capturing. If the Shortcut is gone, what's one supposed to do - relog everything?
    This problem needs to be fixed...and soon.

  • Hotkey shortcut for selecting url in address bar to type new url?

    Hi, is there a shortcut hotkey for selecting all of the url in a browser window in oder to quickly type a new address, etc?
    Thanks
    (For example, rather than move the cursor up to an address such as http://www.apple.com is there a key combination I can use to select the entire address so I can type in a new url, such as pixar.com ?)
    Sorry if this is so basic.....

    oceanbluesky,

  • Keyboard shortcut for selecting point on curve?

    Before CS4 you use to be able to hold down the command key, at least I think it was the command key, while you have a curve open and you could see where you were on the curve, then click with the mouse to select that point. Now you have first click on the little finger with the arrow icon in the curve pallette to do that. So is there a keyboard shortcut to select that icon?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi
    I'm afraid the short answer appears to be: no.
    There is still no way... unless someone can correct me and I'd love them to... to highlight a panel (cycle through them till the required one is highlighted) and then simply tab through the various parts of that panel. I've just had a play. Nor is it amenable to setting up an action for it which I've found to be a solution before now... just tried it. Nor is there a custom shortcut opportunity.... I've drawn a blank on all the ways I'd try.
    I beleive you're talking about the Window > Adjustments > Curves panel and the little tool at the top of the list.
    I am sorry.

  • Shortcut for "select visible pixels"?

    CS3 had a command when you right-clicked on a layer in the layermenu: "Select visible pixels", but it's gone in CS4. A Mac-user showed me how a command-click on a layer selected visible pixels, but it doesn't work with cntrl, alt or shift on my Win7/CS4-PC. There is neither any choice for this command on the select-menu. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Ah, many thanks, it was the "click on the layer-icon"-part the other explanations didn't mention.

  • Repetitive task setup - Any shortcuts for Multiple Slideshow Advance on click?

    I have to create 20 pages that all have the same set up: 4 multi state objects, with 4 states each. On top of each MSO is a button that advances the slideshow to the next state. Are there any shortcuts, or any way to automate parts of the set up? Or do I have to create every state of every MSO from scratch?

    I think some form of automation would be good as I have asked for something similar regarding snippets, but the dps team have not really answered this question directly,maybe something could be forth coming in the next release.

  • Shortcut for selecting non-default button in dialog boxes

    I seem to remember that there was a keyboard shortcut many OSs ago. I can't seem to find it or replicate it. Particularly, I would like to choose the non-default button in a dialog box in Acrobat Pro for productivity's sake.
    Thanks, Jon

    Hi Jon, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    No way to tell if Adobe follows the standard, but TAB generally moves through the Dialog buttons & Space Bar selects that choice where Enter/Return chooses the default blue button. Sometimes the CMD key + the first letter of the button selects it iirc. Sometimes the esc key passes for Cancel.
    If it's not, in Sys Prefs change if the “Full keyboard access” under keyboard shortcuts is set to use text boxes and lists only, switch it to “All controls”.

  • Shortcut for selecting the options bar?

    So after I select a tool in Photoshop or Illustrator, I would like to be able to access the option bar ( that second bar just below file, edit, etc ) with a keyboard shortcut.  
    Does anyone know what the shortcut key is for accessing the options bar instead of using your mouse every time?    
    Thanks, 
    Ricky  

    I wrote that there are none that the option bar changes for each tool.  That some tool have shortcuts keys and modifier keys.  Active tool  keys should work for the tool your using and other tools shortcut key when held can temporarily switch tool.
    Example the brush tool there are shortcuts for changing brush size, shortcuts for hardness and softness, shortcuts for Opacity.  click and shift click for straight,  etc  So you can use the options bar and or  tools shortcuts  and modifier keys shift, alt, ctrl, space bar.... Read Adobe help for Tools like brush end about shortcuts

  • Is there any shortcut for "View Frame Info" instead of right click -- This Frame -- View Frame Info.

    Frequently it is needed to see frame info.
    So if any shortcut is available please let me know.

    Dear Bob,
      I downloader a VLS Streamer from the Apple app store.  It requires some kind of helper software to run, which, as far as I can tell from the video at the developer's site, allows one to download content from one's mobile device to their computer.  Since I don't have a compatible computer for my iPad to link to, the instructions don't help my situation.  I emailed them with my query and will probably hear from them sometime this week.
       I've lived with this problem for the 3 months I've had my iPad, and I'll keep after it until I have a solution.  But right now, I've run out of steam.  If this lead helps me to resolve my issue, I'll come back and HELPFUL or RESOLVED every response you've given.  I'm very grateful for your help.  Sorry I'm so utterly clueless.
       Thanks once again.  Please don't cringe if I get back to you another day.

  • Shortcut for a track

    Hi,
    I can not resolve my problem. On our Public site we create a course page for my unit «BENA». This welcome page name is «Sciences et technologies».
    My problem, we have a welcome page for «Sciences de l'éducation» and we would like to put a shortcut to a track we have in «BENA» course page (Sciences et technologies»). The information are in two different page. I do not want to copy the track. I just need to create a shorcut.
    I know it is possible because for example Duke use it. But I do not know How to do it. I know how to create a link with itmss. But this do not solve my problem.
    Thank you

    I dont think there is one that does both actions.
    There is one that will toggle tracks.though.
    I have those set up for video on keys 1 - 9  and audio on keys shift1 - shift 9.
    There is another available for "all" but I use Shift Click.

  • Why is the keyboard shortcut for 'Select next input source' disabled when using Safari?

    I'm using Safari 6.0.5 and am running 10.8.4 on a MacBook Pro 13" from last year.
    I've been using Chrome and Firefox heavily recently, but switched to Safari to give it a chance. It's really nice and lightweight, which suits me.
    However, for some reason unbeknownst to me, the keyboard shortcut 'Select next input source' is disabled in Safari, in all windows/input methods.
    Since I constantly switch input methods, this is incredibly frustrating.
    It persists after quit + restart.
    Any ideas?

    Yes, just Safari. In Chrome, Firefox and all other applications it works as expected.

  • Keyboard shortcut for select tool when in text tool

    I'm trying to figure out the best way to use keyboard shortcuts in Motion 5, but I've come across
    a little issue: 
    Let's say I've been using the text tool adjusting text in a text box.   Then I want to go to the Select/Transform tool. 
    If I type Shift+S (the keyboard command for the Select/Transform tool), a capital "S" appears in my text.  
    The only way around this I've found is to enable the Select/Transform tool with my mouse, which I find kind of slow and annoying.
    Any ideas?  Hope I'm missing something obvious.
    Thanks.

    The escape key will take you out of text entry mode. See the "Text Tools in the Toolbar" Section
