resolved Is there a keyboard shortcut for precision editing? (Milliseconds)

[Nate999]

Hi is there a quick keyboard shortcut for precision editing? - I want to advance to the next part of a clip in milliseconds to get perfect cuts.

 

Thanks

The frame buttons offer the most precision...  or use the right and left arrow keys.

 

The edge buttons go to the next clip join point  or use <shift-right/left arrow keys.

These don't advance in milliseconds though - leaving unwanted parts of clips .

Is there a keyboard shortcut to advance in milliseconds?

The frame bump is the smallest increment.  However, by expanding the timeline via the slider (bottom-right), precision can be improved.

As for those 'parts' - let's take a look.  Upload a sample project for analysis, per the instructions in your other thread.  Use the edge buttons for insertions to ensure that the edit is being made at the junction.

To see gaps or fragments on track one, switch to Storyboard mode. 

Did you test the latest version?

When you say 'frame' bump - Do you mean the arrow keys in your diagram above?

If so I've found this isn't the smallest increment - I have to zoom in and out and drag the red marker and i can get smaller increments - I think 1 frame equals about four and a half milliseconds or increments.

This is my solution I found out through experimenting. Though it would be easier with a keyboard shortcut.

Yes, the smallest available via a shortcut.  The cursor counter displays the increments, which look to be about 33/34ms.

So you can only get smaller by using the manual method I stated above?

[borate]

That's my experience.  Increment 30 times and you should see the counter advance 31 frames.

Okay thanks.
