1. Re: Keyboard shortcut to select next clip?
Colin Brougham May 8, 2012 12:29 PM (in response to MonkeyEatsMonkey)If this were Premiere, I would hit Shift+1 to go to the project panel, but that doesn't work either.
Somehow, they missed that KB shortcut. Just map it in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, under Application > Window > Project Panel. I have reported this as a bug, but feel free to do the same.
At this point, I would very much like to be able to hit a single button (let's say "N" for instance) to go to the next clip in the project panel. But there is no option to add a keyboard shortcut for this action.
That's a swell idea. You know what to do

2. Re: Keyboard shortcut to select next clip?
MonkeyEatsMonkey May 8, 2012 1:04 PM (in response to Colin Brougham)I mapped the Project Panel to "N" instead of "Shift+1", so now it's a little bit closer to what I was looking for. Since all of my ingested footage starts with the number "0" (i.e. 00001.avi, 00002.avi, etc), I can hit "N, 0, Enter" to get to the next clip without using the mouse. It's not perfect, but it's a bit better than before.
Still trying to figure out the best workflow in Prelude, but I feel like I'm getting there.

KGCW Aug 21, 2012 10:52 AM (in response to MonkeyEatsMonkey)You can use a keyboard macro app like Keyboard Maestro to bind a sequence of shorcuts to a single keystroke.
For instance when I type opt + D, the sequence is :
- cmd + s to save and avoid the window asking if I want to.
- shift + 1 to go to the project panel
- down arrow to jump to the next clip
- enter to open it
- shift + 3 to go back to the timeline
All of this happens as fast as a single shortcut.
In Keyboard Maestro you can restrain macros to specific applications, so I made this one only active inside Prelude.

KGCW Aug 21, 2012 3:38 PM (in response to KGCW)Keyboard Maestro is a mac application but you can probably find a windows application that does the exact same thing.
