There are so many aspects to making great videos and beautiful photos. One of the things we spend the most time on is the editing part. It's so often overlooked, but is extremely important. Today, I want to talk about a few keyboard shortcuts that I use to make our workflow faster.

Here are my keyboard shortcuts and the command to search for to create your own.

1 - "Ripple Trim Previous Edit to Playhead"
2 - "Ripple Trim Next Edit to Playhead"
3 - "Add Edit"
Q - "Overwrite"
W - "Insert"
6 - "Apply Video Crossfade Transition"
7 - "Apply Audio Crossfade Transition"
B - "Razor Tool"
A - "Selection Tool"
D - "Select Clip at Playhead"
opt + Delete - "Ripple Delete"
J - "Shuttle Left"
K - "Shuttle Stop"
L - "Shuttle Right"

Also a big thanks to our Patrons, who help us make time available to create these videos for everyone. We greatly appreciate it. Especially, Jinyuan Yeon, James Brady, Morgan Price, Please Stand By and Larry Nelson
