Most Essential Keyboard Shortcut

            Most Essential Keyboard Shortcut 


                Most applications have keyboard shortcuts to save you mouse clicks. But video editors know that using shortcuts for repeated actions like playing footage, setting in and out points, inserting, and trimming, are vital to getting that cut done on deadline. Adobe Premiere Pro also has hundreds of commands that aren’t mapped by default, so spending a few minutes in the Keyboard Shortcuts window to map your custom layout can turn more of your editing time into creative time. Here are 10 default shortcuts that you should know, and 10 shortcuts that are worth mapping, from our editor’s resource book The Cool Stuff in Premiere Pro.


10 Useful Default Keyboard Shortcuts
These work with the default layout. Go to the File menu (or Premiere Pro CC menu on Mac) and choose Keyboard Shortcuts > Keyboard Layout Preset > Adobe Premiere Pro Default if it isn’t already selected.
1. To expand and minimize your timeline tracks, use Shift+=/ -. Ctrl+=/ - (Cmd+=/ -) handles only video track height, and Alt+=/ - (Opt+=/ -) only audio track height.
2. The backslash key (\) will zoom your sequence to show everything in the timeline. Much faster than messing with the scroll bar.
3. Setting In and Out points with I and O is common. You can clear In and Out points with Ctrl+Shift+I (Opt+I), Ctrl+Shift+O (Opt+O), and Ctrl+Shift+X (Opt+X) for both.
4. X will mark the clip under the Playhead, but the / (forward slash) key will set In and Outs around all the clips you currently have selected.
5. D is the keyboard shortcut for Select Clip at Playhead. Immensely useful!
6. To Deselect All clips, effects or whatever is selected, hit Shift+Ctrl+A (Shift+Cmd+A on Mac).
7. Hitting Ctrl+K (Cmd+K) cuts the clip in two. It’s like using the Razor Tool, only faster. This works on active tracks. Add the Shift modifier key, and you cut all clips under the Playhead in two.
8. Ripple Trim Previous Edit to Playhead (Q) and Ripple Trim Next Edit to Playhead (W) are indispensable for doing rough cuts. Just move the Playhead to where you want to ripple trim, hit Q or W, and the region between the Playhead and the previous or next edit will be ripple deleted away. This kind of trimming is called Top & Tail Editing, and is by far the fastest way to remove the unwanted parts of a clip. Fun fact: Adobe engineers added these commands at the request of The Cool Stuff in Premiere Pro author Jarle Leirpoll.
9. F is for Match Frame. Park over any clip in the sequence and hit F to open the master clip in the Source Monitor at the exact same frame.
10. The opposite is the Reverse Match Frame command. When parked on a frame in the Source Monitor, Shift+R takes you to the first clip that frame appears in. Keep hitting Shift+R, and you will cycle through all the instances of that frame in the sequence.

Whip Pan Transition

                                   Wip Pan Transitions                  Whip pans are a fun way to cut between clips. They can be used in fast paced conversations, action movies, or even to simulate a knife throw simulate a knife throw. To capture this effect naturally, one would end one shot with a really fast pan. Then, the shot it is cutting to would begin with a fast pan in the same direction. This introduces a host of problems, specifically that you have to know in advance that you want a whip pan transition. Also, unless you have a higher end transition, you have a good chance of getting some damaging rolling shutter from the fast transition. So in this tutorial, I will show you how to create a whip pan transition in adobe Premiere Pro entirely.Import the footage on to the timeline and line up the clips so they have a simple cut between the two.Create a new Adjustment layer. This can be done from file->new->adjustment layer, or from the project panel by clicking
