In Final Cut Pro, I could tap the J or L key multiple-times and scrub super fast through a long clip. In PP 6, the J and L just isn't fast enough. I have to grab the mouse to scrub quicker. Is there a setting to adjust this ?
Secondly, I absolutely love this Final Cut shortcut but can't find it in PP. I would select a clip in the timeline, and then using my keyboards up and down arrow keys, could move the clip to a different track. I have been able to move a clip left and right but NOT up and down. Is this possible ?
Lastly, in FCP I would map a keyboard shortcut to change the 'color' of the clip in the bin after I had used it in the timline. I have played with 'label groups' but this is only visible in the 'label' tab. Is there a way to mark or color a clip name ?
thanks very much!
For the J-K-L, this might be useful: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS52A45F55-4237-480c- 86F0-9A3869DBEF57.html#WSde116ea917a21f3e5134c223133a3135af9-8000
Good luck,

I've heard people wanting to speed up J and L. There is no adjustment or preference, sorry. Make a feature request: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish

I'm afraid not, but it's a popular feature request from FCP editors. I remember when that shortcut was added to FCP, it's very useful. Please make a feature request.

No, labels need a few enhancements including the one you mentioned. Please make a feature request. Right clicking to choose a label and having keyboard shortcuts for labels would be other features I'd like to see.
Let us know if you have more questions.
Hi
Regarding the scrubbing speed. I use a shuttle comtrol for doing this stuff and there is a knob that as I turn it further it speeds up the scrub--all the way from fast reverse to fast forward. The shuttle control communicates with Premiere Pro by sending keystroke sequences (just as a keyboard would). There must be some keystroke sequence to accomplish this. Maybye rooting around in the key definition file can uncover the secret
