Keyboard shortcut for Video/Audio track destination?

Is there a keyboard short that will allow me to toggle the Video and audio track when adding clips to the sequence? versus having to mouse click on the icon to "link" or "unlink"?

System Preferences>Keyboard.
Check F keys on for use in applications.

Keyboard Shortcut for moving audio

Is there a keyboard shortcut to move an audio track the smallest increment? I am trying to sync audio with video and when I use the mouse to drag the audio left of right along the timeline, it jumps more than the minimum allowable increment.
Thanks for your help!

Welcome to the forum.
Neale has given you the "trick," that you need. Just do not forget to hit the S key again, to toggle Snap back on, when you go to do other editing, or things will not work as before.
Good luck,
Hunt

Is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut for Add Audio Keyframe?

I would like to assign a keyboard shortcut to be able to create an audio keyframe at the playhead. There doesn't seem to be an option in the Keyboard shortcuts menu.\
This feature allows the editor to keyframe audio and mix without having to use the mouse. Also, this feature was available in FCP 7.

Still dont know how one would set parameters but...
I would suggest a "better" way to set some audio keyframes is to do a live realtime mix from the audio mixer in Write Mode.
Then adjust KFs or overwrite them using mouse or MIxer facilties.
I have never quite understood how one can mix using KFs on a static audio track!
Its an ear/listening thing..IMHO ( well thats how the pros do it anyway)

Shortcut for Paste Special+Match Destination Formatting in MS excel on OSX Mavericks

Hi,
I am wondering if someone can help me create a keyboard shortcut for 'paste special -> matching destination formatting' into MS excel 2011. I realise this isn't the most ideal situation (not being a mac app), but it's what I have, and I have a lot of text to copy in, so i'd love to create a workaround if possible.
I am running Mavericks 10.9.5 on a 2010 Macbook Pro. I've tried various options that I've found on the net for previous versions of OSX, but none have worked for Mavericks, and I can't find any information on this that was posted after 2012.
I am willing to experiment with a macro, but I have no experience with them so I don't really know what I'm doing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help / advice.

Hi Barney,
Thanks for your reply. I should have mentioned that I've tried to create a keyboard shortcut in both excel and through systems preferences, however to no avail. In excel there is a keyboard shortcut in place for 'paste special', however there is no option to move past this into paste special options. I am starting to think perhaps this isn't available because there is no menu command for it directly, rather a popup box appears with paste special options. But it is so tedious to click this every time you want to paste.
Cheers

PPCC 2014.1 keyboard shortcut for source patching or track targeting???

Does anyone know if there's a keyboard shortcut for targeting tracks or else moving the "V1" and "A1" targets up and down the tracks in the timeline with the latest PPCC 2014.1 update???
I believe PPCC refers to it as "source patching". But looking through the vast keyboard shortcut list, I haven't found it.

Here's the shortcuts you want to be looking at... also Marks linked page has useful info on mouse operations.
The source assignment presets could prove useful too (although it would all get much easier if they would implement auto-patch...)

Keyboard shortcut for source patching?

Is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to control the source patching? the same way you can toggle the track target.

This is not a real solution. I used to use source patching a lot when i edited on avid. It was part of my workflow. But on Avid i could assign a shortcut for each sourch track. No overlapping presets. I could do 1 - v1, 2 - v2, 3 - v3, 4 - a1, 5 - a2, 6 - a3. Each shortcut was independent. If i wanted to do this in premiere i would have to do a preset for each combination as if i were to press 1 I would have v1 selected and if i press 5 audio 2 would be selected overlapping my previous selecction insted of having v1 and a2 at the same time seleccted.

Is there a list of mac keyboard shortcuts for Audition 3.0?

Is there anywhere online where I can find a list of Mac keyboard shortcuts for Audition 3.0? I would have thought it would be easy to find, but I've searched and haven't seen anything. In particular, I'm looking for shortcuts to let me vertical zoom and a shortcut that moves the playhead back to the beginning in multitrack view.

With Audition 3.0 for Windows, vertical zoom in edit view can be done by right-click-drag on the vertical exist to select a region. Incremental vertical zoom can be done by moving the mouse cursor over the vertical access, then using the track wheel to zoom in or out. In multitrack view, if you use the track wheel in the main window, it widens all the tracks proportionately.
To move to the beginning or end (in both edit and multitrack views), use the Home and End keys. In edit view, Ctrl-left arrow and Ctrl-right arrow also do this. In multitrack view, the Ctrl-arrow keys move to the beginning and end of the audio clips, whereas the End key goes to the end of the overall piece (which may include silence after the last clip).
Most keyboard shortcuts can be assigned, cleared, or re-assigned. In Windows this is done via the Edit menu item (for which the shortcut is Alt-k).

Apple Mail creating a new keyboard shortcut for delete

In Gmail I can hit the "D" key to delete saves much time.
In Apple Mail I have to hit the delete key which is on the right side of the keyboard and my right hand is busy with the track pad scrolling. I want to create a keyboard shortcut for delete something like option D any easy left handed shortcut will work. Sys pref/keyboard shortcuts/mail doesn't work, Any suggestions?

Hello!
I don't know about mouse shortcuts, but you can put a delete button in the top bar of Mail, like so:

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.

InDesign Keyboard Shortcut for Submenu Item

I am attempting to make a keyboard shortcut for a particular menu selection in InDesign CS5. Particularly, I want to select an Adobe PDF Preset
("PDF/X-1a:2001") from the submenu. However, when I try select this in Keyboard Shortcuts, all I get is "Define" .. which of couse will bring me to the presets window. I want to be able to select a preset and assign a keyboard shortcut (in this case F15).
Does anyone have suggestions on how this can be done? I tried various ways, but still can't select anything from that submenu.
Thanks.

Hey,
I agree with Cari! Using SHIFT while clicking on PDF preset name would speed up things! On the other hand, you can use scripting to define which export profile to use and choose destination folder. Great thing about the scripts is that you can assign custom shortcuts to them!
// Set PDF Preset name
var myPreset = "[PDF/X-1a:2001]";
// If not using CS5 or later, set this to: false
var usingCS5 = true;
/// --- DO NOT EDIT --- ///
if(app.documents.length)
    doExport();
else
    alert("No documents opened");
function doExport(){
    try{app.pdfExportPresets.item(myPreset).name}
    catch(_){
        alert("PDF Preset not found!\nPlease check name and try again!");
        exit();
    var myFile = (function(){
        var setFile = File.saveDialog ("PDF export based on " + myPreset + " ...", "PDF:*.pdf");
        if(setFile != null)
            return setFile;
        else
            return false;
    if(myFile != false){
        if(Boolean(usingCS5))
            app.activeDocument.asynchronousExportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
        else
            app.activeDocument.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
All you have to set is PDF preset name and you are good to go! Also, you can save this script with different names containing different presets name and assign different shortcuts to every one of them.
Hope that helps.

DVD Studio Pro 4 Looping Video/Audio Track to Continuously Replay?

Do I need to script to continuously replay video audio track?
Is there a template already written for a script?
Thanks much,
Chuck

Hi - welcome to the discussions.
You don't need to script it if all you want to do is repeat the track over and over. All you do is set the end jump of the track to go to the same track.
However, if you want to repeat just a short audio clip over and over whilst a longer video plays then what you do is add the audio repeatedly to the track until you get to the end of the video. You can't set the audio up differently to the video, you have to play both at the same time.

Keyboard Shortcut for Record Start/Stop?

Soundbooth had keyboard shortcuts for everything except what I need. I just want to be able to record tracks without hearing the click of my mouse at the end. It seems like a pretty obvious and basic function, but I don't see anything in the help file on it. Is there some workaround?

With the Record dialog open, you can use the Space bar to start and stop the recording process.

Change Keyboard Shortcuts for sound volume

I want to change the keyboard shortcut for changing the system sound/audio volume. There isn't an option in the Keyboard Shortcuts system preference pane. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks for helping me think through this. My (likely circa 2001) iKey keyboard didn't come with software (at least that I would still use). My initial guess was that I programmed the keys through FastScripts, but quitting that didn't help.
So, I looked back through the archives at MacOSXHints.com and found two options: I hadn't installed KeyRemap4Macbook, but I was still using ControllerMate. I had completely forgotten about that. Thanks for helping jog my memory.

Disabling Keyboard Shortcuts for LDAP Accounts -Workgroup Manager...

I work in a school and all our students are on LDAP accounts. Recently some of the kids realized that hitting Ctrl-Opt-CMD-8 inverts the screen display. You wouldn't believe the amount of havoc this has created at school, especially when they do it to a kid’s account that doesn't know how to fix it.
Keyboard and Mouse are NOT one of the items under preferences for either groups or accounts in Workgroup Manager. Does anyone know if there is a way around this, or an alternate way of getting rid of the keyboard shortcuts for Universal Access, for either groups or accounts?
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Within the Workgroup Manager pane for Preferences, there is an option to manage Universal access. Within that section, there is a tab for 'Options'. You will want to change that management to 'Always' and leave the box for 'Allow Universal Access Shortcuts' UNchecked. This will, in effect, disable the usage of the shortcuts for a User or a selected Group account.
Hope this helps out!!

How to change keyboard shortcut for cycle through open tabs in PS and AI CC 2014

I would love to set my own keyboard shortcuts for cycling through open tabs in PS and AI 2014 on OS X. I found out that this can be achieved with ctrl+tab in PS, but I couldn't manage to make any of the suggestions in the forum work for AI. As said, I would like to set a more "standard" shortcut like alt+cmd+arrow-keys for both of the apps. If that shouldn't be possible, does anyone know a shortcut in AI CC 2014?
Many thanks!
Amadeus

Thanks! The shortcut can be set like this in AI, although all key combinations I would want to use are not allowed. Too bad. But anyways, thank you very much for the tip!
cmd+~ is not an option for me, I guess, since the swiss/german keyboard layout has no dedicated tilde key.
So, I have a working shortcut in PS (ctrl+tab / of which I still don't know how to change, if possible at all) and thanks to you, I can now set one in AI as well. Unfortunately, I can not set it to be identical as in PS, since the "cmd" key needs to be included in AI's shortcut assignment dialogue, but I guess, this is as good as it gets.
