Set Work Area command

Jul 28, 2012 11:48 PM

Tags: #adobe #5.5 #premier

Is there a Set Work Area or Set Beginning and Set End of Work Area keyboard command like there is in After Effects.   I looked in the Keyboard Shortcuts and did not see one.

 

On a Mac using CS5.5

 

 

Thanks in Advance

    ALT [  and ALT ] will set the Work Area Bar to the CTI position on the timeline

    Type in a key word to easily find shortcuts:

    ...and of course you can change them too.  

     

    I've never undersood why so many shortcuts require modifier keys, expecially 'different' modifiers between Mac and Windows.  Since we go back and forth between them we created a simplified version. 

     

    For instance, we replace Alt+[ with just the [ key, and Alt + ] with just ].  Why press Alt when you really don't need to?

    Exactly. Many shortcuts in Premiere have pointless modifiers when there's no need for them.

    The only caveat to that process would be to check carefully that there is not already a keyboard shortcut (without the modifier keys), that would be overwritten. Now, if it is not one that you would ever use, no harm, no foul.

     

    As the keyboard shortcuts are grouped by the Panel, that has focus, that keyboard shortcut (without the modifier key), might appear in some other Panel - just check it out first.

     

    Good luck,

    When chaging shortcuts to keys that are already in use it will tell you and also to which commend it is assigned to.
