Is there a keyboard shortcut to duplicate a clip on the timeline?

Is there a key I can hold down while selecting a clip on the timeline and immediately duplicate it?

No. But you can use the standard Copy/Paste shortcuts.

  • How do I duplicate a clip from the timeline?

    In a sports video I want to duplicate a clip to the project files, then stretch the time of the clip to slow motion, add a title that says " Let's watch that in slow motion" and then insert the slow motion clip after the original clip to make sort-of an instant replay for my grandson. I don't know how to duplicate the clip and put it in "project files" and I'm not sure the best way to make the file a slow motion file. I've looked at the "Help" section but for some reason the blue links there don't function to lead me to the video clips of explanation.

    You may be over thinking this. There are easier ways. Jim's way is simple to use.
    Or, how about this instead?
    Put the clip on the timeline at full speed, then put it on the timeline again, and stretch the time to show it at 25% speed (for example). Put the title over the slower clip and that's it.
    This example video shows me putting the video on the timeline, then putting in a title I have already prepared over a copy of the clip held on the last frame, then the same video but set for slow motion using Time Remapping.
    If the clip had been longer, I would have eased into the slow motion gradually over the first three seconds or so, but this clip just wasn't long enough for that.

  • Is there a way to quickly locate a clip on the timeline back to the bin?

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately I try to equate FCP with adobe premiere pro (I need to let it go), but one thing I always did find useful was right clicking on a clip in the timeline and saying "locate". It took me straight to the raw footage in the capture bin.
    Is there anyway of doing something like this in FCP. I've located it using "finder" but it takes me to the folder where it's stored rather than the bin.
    Hope you can help (as always)

    The functionality you're looking for is Reveal Master Clip. The shortcut for that is Shift-F.
    However, this depends on your not breaking the link between the master clip (what's in the Browser, as mentioned) and the affiliate clip (what you're clicking on in your sequence). One common way (in FCP 5.x or earlier) of breaking that link was to copy a sequence over from another project, as the clips from that copied-over sequence all become Master Clips (meaning Shift-F won't work). Also, if you import sequences via XML (because you're swapping stuff with another station), there will be no Master Clips to link back to (that info is not contained in the XML).
    With those caveats in mind, you should be good to go with a simple Shift-F.

  • Is there a way to copy & paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?

    Hello Popular Premiere Pontificaters,
    I am using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
    Is there a way to copy and paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?... I can copy my clip, but when I open the other project, it will not allow me to paste it in there... but I am able to copy and paste a clip within a single project.  I tried everything... pasting in to a new video track and pasting in to an existing video track in the second project, but the paste option simply isn't there when I open the second project.
    And if Premiere itself will not allow me to do this in any way, will a copy-paste clipboard type of accessory app allow me to do this?... if so, which is the best, trustworthy copy-paste app that is malware free?
    Thanks,
    digi

    Hi Bill Hunt,
    I just read the page that you provided about "Handles"... thanks allot for that ARTICLE.  In your article and the subsequent article HANDLES, "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" linked from your article, it indicates (in PrE and PrPro anyway - I'm in Premiere 6) that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks... the paragraph below is a quote from that "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" article...
    "Whatever is below the transition in a Timeline panel appears in the transparent portion of the transition (the portion of the effect that would display frames from the adjacent clip in a two-sided transition). If the clip is on Video 1 or has no clips beneath it, the transparent portions display black. If the clip is on a track above another clip, the lower clip is shown through the transition, making it look like a double-sided transition."
    So this indicates that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks since it is referring to content in tracks beneath a transparent fade that would show through... and only non-Video 1 tracks can be transparent and have other clips "beneath" them in the timeline, right?
    In the screenshot sample in your article at this LINK, I see the handles (referred to as B and E) and I can see in my monitor window how those handles would be represented by the two little bracket symbols {  }  ... you can see how they appear in my monitor window in Premiere 6 in this screenshot, and below, from a different thread that isn't related to this topic.
    But I'm still trying to figure out how the handles can be applied in the non-Video 1 tracks in the timeline to insert a transition (cross-dissolve) between two clips.
    Can you advise me on this?... I posted a separate thread HERE on this topic, but I haven't got any further with finding an answer.
    Thanks so much for your article,
    digi

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to keep a clip in sync as you move it vertically to other tracks?

    I noticed that if you take a clip and hold down the shift key after starting to move it, there is an interesting behavior which forces the clip to be stuck to that track; in other words, you can only move it horizontally to other parts of the same track, but not vertically. So, it would make sense to me, that there should be some modifier keyboard shortcut that would allow me to do the opposite: move a clip up and down the timeline vertically to other tracks, while maintaining sync, not allowing it to move horizontally. In fact, that seems to make more sense than the shift-key trick anyway... Does anyone know if this exists? Thanks!

    Hi Kevin,
    Thank you but I am aware of snapping. The issue is, it works relatively well, but not perfectly always. If your playhead is nearby it may try to snap the clip to that; it may also try to snap to other clips above or below; and lastly if you move the mouse a little bit too much too quickly, you might shift it away from the 'snapping' just enough to throw it out of sync. To put it simply, I find it's not strict enough.
    Also, I know of the keystroke to move up and down. But it's not helpful when you have to make bigger moves across the timeline.
    Perhaps it would be make more sense if I told you what I'm up to: on this particular project we have concert footage from tons of cameras all synced together. Sometimes for reasons I won't try to explain, I have to move a clip up or down by 10-20 tracks. So the keyboard shortcut isn't helpful only because of the distance I have to travel with the clip. So basically I was hoping for something that I could press down that, unlike snapping, would be strict and absolute in its behavior, just like the shift-key forces the clip to not move to other tracks. In order to work fast, it would just make it easier rather than having to worry about looking at the little yellow timecode pop-up to see if I'm staying in sync or if it's accidentally snapping to the playhead and shifting it by 4 frames, for example.
    No huge deal, it would just be nice for larger timelines and I don't really understand the use of the shift-key forcing a clip to remain on the same track, seems like what I'm trying to do would be a little more common, I would think...
    Thank you!

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to mirror a macbook air on a VGA projector?

    I know I can mirror displays by going through the system preferences then displays.
    But I would like to be able to swith from mirroring to not mirroring quickly, without going through the system preferences every time.  Is there a keyboard shortcut?
    My Macbook Pro had the F7 key where I could swith in and out of mirroring.  I tired F7 with my Air and it didn't work.
    Thanks

    Got it.

  • Keyboard shortcut to extend a clip???

    Is there a keyboard shortcut for adding available frames to the
    end/ start of a clip once it is in the project timeline in FCPX???

    Move the playhead past the end of the selected clip - Shift X will extend the end of the selected clip to the playhead. If the clip is shorter than the position of the playhead, Shift-X will extend the clip to its end.  PS - The selection of the clip should be either the left or right edge (as if you were clicking on an end to make a trim edit) and not the entire clip.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut in OS 10.6 for "open folder window" and "close folder window"?

    Is there a keyboard shortcut in OS 10.6 for "open folder window" and "close folder window"?  I have a hand condition at the moment that makes it painful to mouse the cursor over to the arrow and click it (for instance, in the sidebars for Finder or iTunes) to open or close a folder.  If anyone knows a keyboard shortcut for this, I'd really appreciate it--thanks!

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the presently open web page in another tab? It used to be Ctrl + N.

    Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the presently open web page in another tab? It used to be Ctrl + N. This shortcut now opens a Tab with the home page instead of duplicating the web page I'm on.

    Firefox has always opened new tabs in a blank page, so I'm guessing that the way you had it before was added by an extension.
    If you to to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, are there any extensions disabled?
    In any case, you can still do this with a mouse shortcut. Hold down the Ctrl key as you drag a tab to an empty area on the tab bar.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the previous page in a new tab that is right next to the current tab?

    Let's say I'm currently on page X, and the previous page I came from was page Y. Is there a keyboard shortcut to open page Y in a new tab right next to the tab with page X?
    Currently my only solution is to hold down cmd (for mac) and click the back arrow button, but again, I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut. I know CTRL + T opens up the same page in a tab right next to the current one, but I have to wait for it to load then press backspace to go back one page.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to open bins in the project pane?

    Hi there!
    Quick question: Is there a keyboard shortcut that allows you to open a bin in Premiere Pro's project panel?
    I know I can just double-click it, but I like sticking to my keyboard as much as possible. If there's any default keyboard shortcut or configurable one, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance!
    Edit: Version - Most up to date CC.

    Option clicking any bin twirl down will open all bins. Otherwise, as shooternz noted, the shortcut wouldn't know which bin you wanted to open, so it's not really possible with some kind of clicking.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to select and deselect items?

    Using the mouse or trackpad to position the cursor over the checkbox to select dozens of tracks in my library is tedious. Is there a keyboard shortcut that will allow me to use the arrow keys to move up or down to select items?

    Jon,
    On Windows, it's the "/" key. Try Googling "lightroom keyboard shortcuts" and going to the Victoria Bampton site. She has a .pdf file with a complete list.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to "Pin as App Tab"?

    Sometimes (mainly with a touchpad) moving the mouse cursor to the tab, right-clicking and choosing "Pin as App Tab" is a lot of work compared to just using a keyboard shortcut. Is there a keyboard shortcut to do this?

    It is a context menu entry and such entries require to right-click in a specific place to open that context menu. <br />Such entries can never have a shortcut key.
    You can't set focus to the tab bar easily. Ctrl +K followed by one or more tab key presses should focus the tab bar.<br />
    Then you can press the context menu key at the right side of the space bar to open the context menu and press P to pin the current tab.
