Navigate Timeline with keyboard
Curious if anyone knows how to navigate through clips in the timeline?
I know "v" will select the nearest edit, then I can hit enter and open that clip in the viewer. But I'd like to be able to establish a focus on a clip and jump forward or back or down. Is there anything like that?
Thanks in advance.
basic timeline navigation is handled through industry standard NLE transport controls ...
J = play backwards, double tap it and you will play backward at 2x speed, triple tap and faster still etc
K = pause
L = play forward, double tap it and you will play forward at 2x speed, triple tap and faster still etc
press J and K together and you will play slowmo backward
press L and K together and you will play slowmo forward
press K whilst tapping J will jog backward one frame ... same as tapping the back arrow key
press K whilst tapping L will jog forward one frame ... same as tapping the forward arrow key
press the up arrow key will move the playhead to the previous edit point
press the down arrow key will move the playhead to the next edit point
there are loads more of these basic transport controls, look under the Mark menu > Previous and Next for more examples
if your goal is to have the clip load into the viewer then consider using the Playhead Sync mode to Open (View menu > Playhead Sync > Open) as that mode automatically opens in the Viewer window whichever clip is currently under the timeline playhead

Move clip on timeline with keyboard
Hi all,
Is there a way to move a clip, either the in our the outpoint to where the playhead is located on the timeline use a single keyboard shortcut?
I essentially want to be able to select a clip, move the playhead to where I want the clip to be, and press a keyboard shortcut to move the clip there
I cannot figure out a way to do this.
ThanksIn CS6, the shortcut is the 'e' key. (Extend edit to playhead.)
That does not move the clip to the playhead position...just the edit point extends to it.
Since the edit mode change in CS6...this has becomer my most common way to trim clips within the sequence.
For the O.P..what Richard Knight suggested is a good wotk around. Cut and Paste.
Select clip> Ctrl-X > Set Playhead > Crl-V
(It will never be a simple single keyboard shortcut due to track targeting in PPRo and there is now way to select a clip using a KB shortcut. Mouse only)
Possibly the best way though is.
Position your Play head>Select Clip in Sequence with CTRL(insert) or Alt-(Overlay) Held. Drag to Program Monitor.
You have to select the clip via mouse and you have to position the playhead anyway...so this is pretty simple. -
Insert in timeline with keyboard shortcut
Hi,
I am looking for the keyboard shotcut to get a clip in the timeline. I can drag it with the mouse, but there must be a way to do it through a keyboard shortcut...
Thanks (Merci)
YvesThe F9 works but it makes the FCP timeline active, so if i want to keep adding edits from the same clip i have to click the viewer window before continuing, which is really lame because when you drag, you can continue to do so without activating the timeline window

Navigating timeline with Keyboard
I have FCS 5.1.4 and for some reason I can't move the position indicator in the timeline by typing in the number of seconds and frames (+15, -105, etc.) ! Is there a setting in Final Cut that prevents this feature from being used? I'm using an apple wireless keyboard and tried using the keypad as well as the numbers above the qwerty keys...
I'm not able to replicate the behavior.
Have you tried trashing your preferences?
Most here suggest FCP Attic
http://www.chesa.com/pro/
I've used FCP Rescue in the past, but am not sure if it works on FCS 5.1.4
You might try a search of this forum for 'trash preferences in fcs 5 1.4', for more info.

EDIT, I'm not on a wireless keyboard though, so there could be other issues...hopefully others will chime in. -
Navigate timeline with timecode question
Hello all...
I'm an Avid user looking at Premiere for certain projects. Last night as I was watching a tutorial the tutorialist selected the timeline panel (clicked inside of it) and then entered a timecode, which automatically selected the timecode display in that panel, he then hit enter and the CTI jumped to the time code.
He said that it was not necessary to select the timecode display. He also did this several times. He was using CS5...I have CS5.5.
It does not work for me. It would be very good if it did. I like to use the mouse as little as possible.
Does anyone have any further information on this feature? Does it actually work? Was it only CS5?
Thank you.
JoeAre you saying that you highlight the timecode or just the timeline panel? Sounds to me like you're saying the tc itself. Because if I click on the tc itself, I can type timecode in there as well. What I'm talking about is:
Say you're working in the timeline panel (therefore it is selected - just the panel), and you just start typing numbers (ie, timecode that you'd like to jump to)...does that do it for you? In this tutorial, he said that it wasn't necessary to highlight the tc istelf. Just as long as the panel is selected. And he did it several times. Though it may have been through the magic of editing. It's a Lynda.com video titled "0203 Understanding timecode"...at 2:13 of the video he does it for the first time...for anyone who might have that tutorial series.
I actually think that I should upload the video to youtube to demo that I'm not crazy.
I just checked youtube and I don't have to upload it, someone else has.
Check out starting from around 2:10 ...

On a Mac, can you navigate menus with one handed key strokes like Windows?
On a Mac, is there anyway to navigate menus with one handed keyboard strokes like you can in Windows? My girlfriend is a graphic designer and switched from Windows to Mac. She misses being able to use the Alt key and make menu selections. On Windows she can press "Alt" and then move through menus and submenus with one hand on the keyboard. When you press "Alt" the first letter of every menu is highlighted. When she presses a certain letter the menu drops down, and the first letter of every submenu is then highlighted. She can then navigate through all the submenus until she hits the selection she wants, all using the left hand on the keyboard. It's very fast and efficient. Can you do something similar to this on a Mac?
The reason she wants to do this is because when she is in Photoshop, she likes to use her right hand on the mouse with the cursor inside the canvas (sketching, moving layers around) while she makes menu commands with the left hand. It is 10 times faster this way than using the mouse for everything. Hot keys are not the same because you must have those memorized. With the "Alt" key function, you can open a drop down menu, see the choices, and make your selection.
I have been a Mac person my whole life, and I have to say, it's a pretty awesome function. I really want the Mac to have something similar.Barney-15E wrote:
[Actual studies|http://www.asktog.com/TOI/toi06KeyboardVMouse1.html] have found it is faster to use the mouse to make command activations than using keyboard shortcuts.
The 20-year-old argument on that web page isn't very convincing. Keyboard shortcuts are certainly faster for experience power users who do the same thing every day. The mouse is faster only for new users or users doing non-repetitive commands every day.
It is interesting that one of the posts on that page said this:
I remember one mainframe company in the sixties that came up with the following command-key guidelines:
Use the first letter of the command word
If the first letter is already used, use the last letter
If the last letter is already used, use the second letter
If the second letter is already used, use the second-to-the-last letter
etc.
This is actually very similar to how the keyboard-driven menus work in Mac OS X. The advantage over the Windows method is that when there is more than one command in a menu that shares the same first letter, you do not have to memorize which command uses which letter. You just type ahead until the correct command is selected.
I would, however, encourage Derek Doublin1's girlfriend to learn the direct keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop. On Mac or PC, for me pressing Command-Option-I is much faster than either the mouse or using the keyboard to drop the Image menu and walk down to the Image Size command. -
Can i zoom in timeline with mouse scroll up
can i zoom in timeline with mouse scroll up&down roller?
i need it so much. but keyboard only edits with keys. not mouseNo. Use '-' or '=' keys.
Please don't tell me you did not know: but keyboard only edits with keys. not mouse -
After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen on 2nd? page of boot. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans run at full speed, machine boots then runs normal except the dvdrw will not . The mid 2011 IMAC had the same problem with LION. I changed hard drives, formatted, and installed a clean install of latest os x mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
1. AppZapper
2. AppDelete
3. Automaton
4. Hazel
5. AppCleaner
6. CleanApp
7. iTrash
8. Amnesia
9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
870A Fuzion Power has problem with keyboard and mouse movement only in games.
Hey guys,
recently built a new system and chose to go with the 870A Fuzion Power mainboard, everything has gone very smoothly execpt for one problem, only when I play games like Crysis 2 ect the mouse seems to jolt around now and again and the keyboard decides to stop responding if I hold down the movement keys, and this is only in game not surfing the web for example. Now, I am using a wireless mouse and keyboard but I plugged in a PS/2 keyboard and the exact same thing happened. I've installed all of the drivers that came with this board and the drivers for the mouse and keyboard. Any of you guys ever had this sort of problem or know how to fix this?
Thanks.I bought a new Macbook pro in june 2010, I didn't have any keyboard or mouse issues prior to upgrading to 10.6.4 supposedly this update was made to fix some issues with keyboard and mouse becoming unresponsive. For me the opposite happened. after the upgrade, my keyboard and mouse (trackpad) becomes sometimes partially unresponsive or totally unresponsive. the only way to solve the problem is by completely turning of the computer and turning back on.. granted it doesn't happen very often.. generally once every about 2-3 weeks but it is still annoying though..
I didn't have a chance to use the computer too much on the previous version (10.6.3) so I don't know if it is software related or hardware related.. any thoughts?

How Stop Pop-Up Window: Allow Fullscreen With Keyboard Controls?
How can I cause the cessation of the pop-up window that asks me, "Allow fullscreen with keyboard controls?"
In the last month or two (January- February of 2013), this black, semi-transparent pop-up has appeared every time I go to full screen in the game Battle Pirates on facebook.
After numerous iterations, this confirmation request has become completely unneccessary and nothing more than an unwelcome annoyance.Tom,
Moderators have the authority and privilege to mark answers as correct, in addition to the original posters. ANY moderator here could have marked it that way.
The Bug report/Feature Request link is not a "vote" page per say, but a place to submit a request for a feature you'd like to see added or dropped from Flash Player. It's the best way to voice a concern or "wish" for a feature, since the development team reads the reports/requests. Management who'd make the decision to add or remove something won't read about it here. They WILL hear about it from development. -
My left arrow does not work on my macbook pro(model A1226).
I have reset nvram, performed a safe boot, pulled the cache to desktop, replaced .globalpreference.plist, & tested all other keys with "keyboard viewer" (all other keys work except for the arrow).
In addition, I have gone thru all the recommended checks with universal access and have booted from snow leopard dvd and the left arrow still does not work.
I have tried using the left arrow key in all of applications I use such as: excel, ms word, address book, calendar, iphoto, terminal, & highlighting an icon and using the arrows to move to another selected icon.
Here is the kicker! In addition, I purchased a logitech solar bluetooth keyboard and the arrows work fine with my ipad but do not work when paired with the macbook pro. All other keys work fine on the macbook pro using the bluetooth keyboard.
I believe this says that the problem is not in my macbook pro keyboard. So where can it be?
Can anyone think of any other rabbit holes I can search?
thanks and regards

2014 .3 is much too buggy and full of error messages. Creating problems as I am on a timeline with my client and I don't have time to fool around with all the problems.
You didn't mention what error(s) you've encountered? A workaround for the most commonly hit problem is here Re: error in Muse : Object UID:U6875 has two (or more) owners: U3633 and U3165
If you have a copy of your .muse file that has not been saved using 2014.3, you can downgrade by uninstalling Muse and then choose Previous Version in the Filters drop down in the Apps panel of the Creative Cloud desktop app. There will be a popup next to Muse where you can select a prior version to install. -
When I navigate web with Firefox my Thinkpad trackpoint center button is not working. With other web browsers it works well. Where is the problem in firefox, how to enable TrackPoint center button?
I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
so I changed 4 settings in about.config
browser.tabs.warn on close true
browser.warn on quit true
browser.warn on restart true
browser.show.quit warning true
but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :( -

updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now I am having trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...
Buttons pressing themself...
Also, my main screen is permanently zoomed in...
suggestions?Double tap the screen with THREE fingers, that should get it back to normal again.
Then go into Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > OFF.
Not too sure about the keyboard and random button presses though. Back it up and restore from iTunes, see if that fixes it.
