Thanks guys, very helpful - much appreaciated. I've changed my workflow a bit so the clip I want to delete is always second from the end of the sequence...that way "CTRL A" selects the entire sequence, followed by "left arrow", which positions me on the clip I want to delete. I'm getting quite fast at this so I'll be okay. I will also have another look at the trim feature to see if that can speed up my workflow.

Hi Nat, yeah, I just thought I'd ask the forum in case anyone knew of a keyboard shortcut to place focus back onto a section of the clip after a deletion. In the old version of Videopad that I used until a few days ago, selection focus was retained on the part of the clip to the left of the deleted section (In AVS's Video Remaker, the focus is retained on the clip to the right hand of the deleted section). I've been looking at ways to speed up my workflow and it's just such a shame that a time-saving feature has disappeared. I'll make the suggestion to NCH unless anyone else can offer an alternative keyboard solution?

Hi, hope someone can help. I've recently moved on to the latest version of VP after over a year of using a much older version. The old version didn't have adjustable preview panes (to give you an idea of how old my previous version was). It's taken me a while to get used to the new way of working etc but one thing I can't seem to find is a quick way to select a clip in a sequence without having to use the mouse. In the old version there was always one clip selected (dark blue), so it was easy to jump between clips using the arrow keys. Now when I delete a clip, focus is lost from the sequence and I have to reach for the mouse to click on a clip - this slows me down considerably as I do a lot of cutting. Things I've tried... The answer is not the "[" or "]" keys - as this only moves the play slider position to the beginning or end of a clip, but does not alter the selection state of any clip. Ctrl A - selects the entire sequence and then I can use left arrow to start navigating through the clip from the end to the desired clip, but that's not workable with as many clip splits as I normally have. Hope my question makes sense. Things I really like since upgrading - The sizeable window panes - great! Previous and Next frame preview - love it ... However, I seem to have lost frame splitting accuracy with HD footage - with frame creep from areas of the clip outwith my cut. I never used to have that problem with the older version of Video Pad. Help!!!!!
