Keyboard shortcut to trim a video

Let say I have a video clip on the video 1 time line. To trim a video, I would put my mouse pointer at the start or end of the video until the '[' or ']' sign appear and then start dragging. I am wondering if there a quicker way to do this. Perhaps a keyboard short cut to trim begin or end?

I use shortcut "E" (Trim Edit Point to Playhead) as my regular and most used edit workflow.
This function will utilise whatever trim mode is set at the Edit point

No keyboard shortcuts for playing / resuming video clips?

Are there any keyboard shortcut to play / resume video clips in the Photos app?
It's super annoying needing to click on the play button every time I navigate to a new clip!
If there's no way to do it now, are there any place we could submit feedback to Apple?

Ok found the feedback link...https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

My screen is crack, are there keyboard shortcuts to use S-Video

Good afternoon all,
I am a novice with Macs. Unfortunately, due to my own carelessness, my display is destroyed. I don't have the ability to see more than the top left corner of the screen.
I have the S-Video - VGA adapter cord. However, I don't have the ability to change the settings on my computer b/c I can't see the screen. Is there a shortcut or keyboard process that could guide me through changing those settings?
Thanks,
Carl

Hi, proto, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
You will need the use of a second computer monitor, at least temporarily, and a USB keyboard and mouse. The following procedure may work using a TV set connected via S-Video, but I'm not certain of that, so I suggest using a real monitor instead, at least to verify the that Powerbook is still capable of operating in display-closed mode when wired to a conventional monitor.
Follow the instructions in this article to operate the computer in display-closed mode.
If it works, give the same procedure a try using your TV set and connecting it via S-Video. If that isn't successful, I suspect it's because of the S-Video connection, and you'll probably have to use a regular computer monitor instead.

Keyboard Shortcut brings not just video results!

When I previewed the video, I didn't have this issue, but
when I watched the video after it was posted online, it happened: I
have a few slides where they are supposed to press F3 to continue.
Each time they press F3, it brings up the computer's (or Windows)
F3 result and advances the video. My boss kept exiting to Google,
as that is what her F3 is set to. But i think the windows default
makes F3 bring up the Find menu.
Help!

FAQ: How do I trim in the Timeline using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6 and CC?

You can now trim with a lot more keyboard shortcuts in the Timeline in Premiere Pro CS6 and CC. See this article for details: Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6.

I'm relieved (if a little frustrated!) that others have the same issues, it makes me feel at least it's not just me! :-)
I am running Windows 7 64 bit Intel quad core processor 8Gb RAM if that helps Jim?
Another quick test shows I have exactly the same issues as shooternz and Ann Bens above at 7 & 8 respectively. An audio only or audio/video clip from Bin to SM and I can add markers on the fly perfectly. Audio/video from the timeline to SM works just the same. Audio only from the timeline will not work however.
I tried linking a video clip to my audio clip to see if that would allow me to add markers then unlink and remove the video... but when I opened that in SM the add marker button was greyed out and the keyboard shortcut (M) didn't work either!

I am running my canon camera on the EOS utility program for mac, and i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut to start video recording, instead of using the mouse.

I am using EOS utility for MAC to run my canon camera at work. I have a foot switch connected to my macbook that allows me to take snapshots with my foot while i work ( i am a dentist and i have my camera hooked to a microscope). the way i did that is by programming a keyboard shortcut that snaps photos on EOS utility, to the foot switch software.
So my question is: On EOS there is a video recording function, so i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut or if i can create a keyboard shortcut for the start/stop record function for video recording..

Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6

Just wrote a new blog post about Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6.
It's in the FAQ now, as well.
Check it out.

Good question. If/when it does it again, I'll check. However, until you asked that, I never noticed the keyboard layout options and that one of them is CS5.5. That's an easier fix for me than re-customizing everything, as I was just wanting the CS5 layout.
Something else I noticed is that my workspace is set for "Import from Project" and I'm supposing it's possible that the keyboard layout is connected to the workspace and might be either resetting it to CS6 or custom, which may or may not have had those customizations. About 25% of the projects I'm working on currently are pre-CS6, so every time I load one of those up, it might be making everything else go wonky.
In any event, I have a better idea what to look out for now. Thanks

FCP Studio 7 keyboard shortcut problems

I have had to re-load my FCP7 Studio after a hard drive failure, it's now running under OSX 10.8.5 since the rebuild of the iMac's system etc……However I now find some strange things going on with some keyboard shortcuts and time line actions and I am wondering if this is due to the newer OS or something else.
The first thing is that clips, video and sound tracks imported to the timeline as complete clips, do not lock together despite showing that they are "locked", i.e. underlined clip ID. To trim them I have to drag the tracks individually….that's odd and awkward.
Another thing is that the "lock / unlock all tracks" keyboard commands, shift F4 and shift F5 do not work on the sound video tracks together, and in fact shift F4 just brings up Dashboard, that's really annoying…Dashboard is something I'd love to kill anyway, but that's another story.
So any clues here, or is this just a result of upgrading the OS to Mountain Lion?
Thanks in advance……..PM

OK!
problem SOLVED!!!
I've tried everything to fix this, partitioning the drive, installing previous OS on 2nd partition, re-installing FCP7 at least a couple of time. Dumped FCP Preferences, changed settings in the OS and FCP to no avail this past week or so. Been driving me nuts….
Then borrowed another keyboard from a friend, viola problem sorted!!
It was the keyboard all along, who would have guessed that?
The errant keyboard appears to work just fine, all keys work, no dead ones……but some now don't play nicely with others especially double tap ones, hence the keyboard commands in FCP got messed up and redirected to other functions. This is a first time for me, but a relief to be back to normal. Ordered a new keyboard yesterday.
Anyway, thanks for the help along the way….Peter

Acrobat Pro 7 Keyboard Shortcut to select multiple bookmarks

I am looking for the keyboard shortcut equivalent of ctrl-left mouse to select multiple bookmarks. Either it can't be done or it is something obscured to my mind.

I'm afraid the exact functionality you're looking for is not available.
With the Edit Selection Tool (aka the G key) activated, you can select the edit points when you marquee drag, rather than selecting the clips themselves. When you select multiple edit points in this manner, it will bring up the Trim Edit window with the highest video layer selected (or, if you've selected only audio, with the lowest audio track selected) but you cannot toggle edit directions for individual tracks.
If you must ripple in different directions, the only method that comes to mind is to activate the Ripple tool, then press Shift and Command while selecting the specific end of the edit point. You can then ripple in different directions using the [ & ] keys (or with Shift for multi-frame ripples).

Keyboard shortcuts to set in/out points?

I've been using FCP for a while, but lately have been teaching iMovie HD at our local cable access studio. I'm very impressed with what iMovie can do now, with one glaring problem - setting in/out points. I'm used to playing through my video, and when I get to a point I want I'll click "i" or "o" to set the points.
In iMovie the only way (near as I can tell) to set in/out points is by scrubbing the markers which confuses everyone and takes far too long. It's a very strange feature not to have an obvious keyboard equivalent to.
Is there any way to set in/out points via the keyboard?

There's a list of iMovie keyboard shortcuts under 'Help' on the top-line menu: it's "iMovie HD Keyboard Shortcuts".
But iMovie doesn't work on In and Out points selected from a longer clip, in the way that Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro do.
It was originally envisaged that iMovie, as a simple editor, just lets you cut and join clips, with optional Transitions, Effects, etc.
There are Crop Markers which can be used: just put your cursor beneath the blue(?) Playhead line, just under the playback window, and a pair of triangular crop markers will appear. If they don't - just hover for a moment at the extreme left just beneath the playback window.
The crop markers can then be dragged to any positions, and Apple ('Command')+K will then crop that selected video section. This can be undone with Apple+Z.
The crop markers can be dragged anywhere, or you can click on one and use the usual keyboard shortcuts of left and right cursor key to move one a frame at a time, or Shift+left/right cursor key to jump 10 frames at a time.
It wasn't originally anticipated, with iMovie, that people would import longer sections of video than needed (..unlike professional shooting and capture..) and then choose just briefer sections within those long clips. The thinking behind iMovie was "cut out and throw away", not "identify shorter section and use that, while secretly retaining full duration of original clip".
It's only with the current iMovie 5/HD that the background handling of clips now approaches FCE and FCP, giving reliable "non-destructive trimming", so that crop markers can be used to set 'wanted' sections, and other sections remain behind invisibly, in a robust Trash can, "..just in case".
You can 'Split video at Playhead' (Apple+T) ..which is what I generally use for editing, but you have to manually drag crop markers to where you want them. It's a historical thing.
You're really asking for a shortcut to set a crop marker to the Playhead position. Why not use Feedback to ask for one in the next version?
But sorry; I don't know of any keyboard shortcuts to do what you want.
Maybe someone else does, though..

Setting a new keyboard shortcut in Final Cut Express

Dear All,
I'm using Final Cut Express 2, with Tiger.
I'm doing some editing that includes many dissolves, and so I'm having to go to Sequence>Render Selection>Video very frequently. There's no keyboard shortcut on the drop-down menu.
Is there any way I can set a shortcut for this? In other words, record a 'macro'?
Your help received with gratitude!
Roger

Dear Tom,
Thanks again. Very helpful.
I'm rendering a video file which has audio on it (the source is a mobile phone camera), but I've muted the audio because I'm using the video to accompany original music. It's a kind of music promo. What I'd really prefer to do is to delete the audio track that came with the video entirely - again, any ideas welcomed. But thank you again.
Roger
