Best Avid Keyboard Shortcuts For 2023!!!

[@paulkropfl]

Hope you're well! Glad to see a new post. Gonna take this opportunity to say thanks for all the incredible tips and tricks I've learned from your vids over the last few years. You are a REGULAR part of my work week. It is very much appreciated.

I am a novice who just started to learn MC, I like watching your video, it can save me a lot of time for unnecessary experiments

[@roflomega]

As always a nice quick handy video with some great tips. Definitely going to try add filler at position! I used to have zoom in and out on the arrow keys as well. You could consider moving the "Zoom In" and "Zoom Out" to F2 and F3 (and Shift+F2 for show entire sequence). It works wonders for me.

[@avidbeer]

Thanks, I like this a lot, I don't think I can change my F2 & F3 (so ingrained over so many years) but I will definitely add a shortcut for show entire sequence. Funny I never used that before premiere but now I do! Cheers!

Make subclip. Can't live without it. Good to have you back 👍

[@dani.k]

Been an AE for over a year now and I've probably wasted hours moving my right hand from my mouse to do certain keys that the left hand alone could totally do! I redid my keyboard and now I'll probably have more time for beer 🍺 Cheers! Thank you so much.

Use tilde key for full screen playback on secondary monitor bro 5:52

[@grogshla]

is there any common use or reason as to what holding the Shift, Ctrl and Alt keys do? Are they grouped into certain functions/categories?. I am trying to remember all the shortcuts but it all seems so random. Why do I hold shift here when I could hold ctrl etc etc ?

[@avidbeer]

It's a fair point -- in Avid you can likely set up everything using just one of the Shift/Ctrl/Alt keys. My shortcuts have evolved over time just like my drinking habits, sometimes without rhyme or reason...cheers!

[@danielejoi]

I use the ` key to bring up the effects editor panel when I'm in the edit workspace.

[@avidbeer]

This is such a great comment and idea. I am doing this first thing tomorrow. Be sure to watch the 2024 video to see if I kept it...ha! Thank you!

[@gregoryausten6488]

With shift+` as motion effect editor. I'm into it and gonna try it.

[@michaelthorpe5015]

Welcome back buddy! I've been waiting on your "next video." Excellent! I have an idea of mine I'm "brewing" on myself....Cheers!

[@rossmpostpro]

Tilde key is match frame for me. Load filler at position is a great shortcut, mine's on shift f! I've actually run out of mappable keys, including shift variants 😅

[@avidbeer]

I bet your a superfast editor which would mean we would have more time to leave work early and go to happy hour! I like it!

[@rossmpostpro]

@avidbeer that's the dream my friend!

[@geraudtruel7189]

If you want to map zoom in and zoom out, you can directly map the icon of the timeline on your keyboard instead of the menu. It's faster.

[@briancorrell]

Imagine wanting to learn about Avid Keyboard shortcuts and instead I learn about that and retrograde ejactulation

[@TheTerrance999]

welcome back!

[@avidbeer]

Thank you my dear friend!

[@gregoryausten6488]

Do you use toggle source/record at all? I have it as tab but could use ` as well. I use this constantly

[@blackbirddani84]

me too!

[@avidbeer]

I actually don't use toggle/source record at all for whatever reason, It might be slower but I prefer to doubleclick the sequences in -- the toggle makes me forget which sequence I'm on at times

[@blackout1111]

Would love to see a course on script sync, AI. Completely changed how i approach dialogue sequences. Biggest change for me in 10 yrs on mc

[@SKYNETSTUDIO]

HEllo sir, definatly extremely useful ! sometimes you go really really fast, for instance I was not able to set up the F5 to F7 boutons, I don't know where to find the mix audio. But I did a screen capture of your keybord and I replicate as much as I could on my own keyboard. Thx a lot, really love your channel, since I'm back to school, study cinema and video editing with Avid specificaly (user certification on the way) . Please grabe a beer and drink for your good health ! ;-)

[@avidbeer]

Thank you very much for the kind words! The F5-F6 mixdowns would be for menu to button reassignment -- TIMELINE -- MIXDOWN

[@SKYNETSTUDIO]

@@avidbeer ok thx dude ! 🍻

Tilda- Batch reimport

[@juanlagos2125]

I already knew that.

[@Dorianlbreton]

Use MAJ !!!!!!!!!

[@jkpresents1752]

i made my tilda key for a add red locator. (i also use bracket key ...next to the dissolve key... as "go to Locator"). I use this a lot to visually mark my timeline for shot replacements or producers notes to come back to later...so when i clear out my locators at the end... i know i got all notes addressed and fixed. oh...try alstadt kolsch out of fredericksburg. texas. cheers. good content

[@avidbeer]

This is a really good example of using that tilda key for a very job specific function. I work on such short form stuff I wouldn't need it but I will remember this for future. The most german sounding beer ever comes from Texas. Love it!
