1
00:00:04,766 --> 00:00:08,466
So Ravenclaw is a keyboard shortcut
layout strategically designed
2
00:00:08,466 --> 00:00:12,566
to very quickly perform common
editing tasks with keyboard shortcuts.
3
00:00:12,633 --> 00:00:15,066
It was designed in a way
that would allow you to initiate
4
00:00:15,066 --> 00:00:17,600
most of these commands
with your left hand on the keyboard
5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,366
and your right hand on your mouse,
6
00:00:19,366 --> 00:00:22,866
allowing you to move through the program
in the most efficient way possible.
7
00:00:22,933 --> 00:00:23,266
To me,
8
00:00:23,266 --> 00:00:24,866
having a solid keyboard shortcut
9
00:00:24,866 --> 00:00:27,166
layout like this is key
to getting into flow state.
10
00:00:27,166 --> 00:00:28,700
When editing, you want to minimize
11
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:32,700
spending time on repetitive tasks
and maximize your time in a creative flow.
12
00:00:32,933 --> 00:00:34,266
In this video,
I'm going to walk you through
13
00:00:34,266 --> 00:00:36,900
some of the most important
Ravenclaw Keyboard Shortcuts
14
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:39,066
and explain exactly what they do.
15
00:00:39,066 --> 00:00:41,533
You can also download a PDF Cheat
sheet down below
16
00:00:41,533 --> 00:00:44,933
so you can always keep it on your computer
and reference it whenever you need it.
17
00:00:44,966 --> 00:00:48,300
Now, if you're just starting out
in the program memorizing these shortcuts
18
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:51,700
right now isn't necessary,
but it can definitely be helpful.
19
00:00:51,766 --> 00:00:54,433
The important thing is
that you are aware of the actions
20
00:00:54,433 --> 00:00:57,000
you perform the most within the program
and to make sure that you're
21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,666
using a keyboard shortcut
to perform those actions to save you time.
22
00:01:00,733 --> 00:01:01,900
So let's get into it.
23
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:02,133
All right.
24
00:01:02,133 --> 00:01:04,566
So the very first shortcut we should know
about is command AI.
25
00:01:04,566 --> 00:01:06,666
This is not a new or custom shortcut.
26
00:01:06,666 --> 00:01:10,200
This is a shortcut that just comes
with DaVinci and it's to import new media.
27
00:01:10,266 --> 00:01:12,600
When you press command AI,
you're presented with a finder window
28
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,433
and you can select what media
you want to bring into your media pool.
29
00:01:15,433 --> 00:01:17,533
So let's select all of this footage here.
30
00:01:17,533 --> 00:01:20,066
Let's click open,
bring it into the project.
31
00:01:20,066 --> 00:01:21,833
I'm not going to change my project
frame rate
32
00:01:21,833 --> 00:01:24,700
because I've already set it to a project
frame rate that I want.
33
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:26,633
And just like that,
we've imported our footage to command.
34
00:01:26,633 --> 00:01:28,333
I import media now.
35
00:01:28,333 --> 00:01:29,400
Something I do all the time within
36
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,400
my media pool is I create new bins
or folders in the shortcut
37
00:01:32,566 --> 00:01:33,433
that is command shift.
38
00:01:33,433 --> 00:01:37,733
And that is the exact same shortcut that
I use on the Mac operating system as well.
39
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,000
So I can create a new folder
like that. Rename it.
40
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,233
Let's call this air to us.
41
00:01:42,233 --> 00:01:46,866
And why don't we just drag all of this
footage into that folder just like that?
42
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:48,133
Now, when I'm in my media pool,
43
00:01:48,133 --> 00:01:50,233
I can select any one of my clips over
44
00:01:50,233 --> 00:01:53,700
here, double click it, and it's going to
load it up in my preview window over here.
45
00:01:53,766 --> 00:01:56,533
Now, the next shortcuts I want to show
you are one, two and three.
46
00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:58,900
And these shortcuts
basically allow me to play around
47
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:00,966
with the playback of my footage
in the preview.
48
00:02:00,966 --> 00:02:03,900
So if I press three, it's
going to start playing forwards.
49
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:07,666
If I press three again, it's going
to start playing forwards at two speed.
50
00:02:07,666 --> 00:02:09,766
We can see this two x pops up here.
51
00:02:09,766 --> 00:02:11,100
If I press three again, it's
52
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:14,766
going to start playing
at four x speed again, apex speed.
53
00:02:14,933 --> 00:02:16,533
So depending on how many times
I press three,
54
00:02:16,533 --> 00:02:20,200
it's going to continuously start playing
faster and faster in the preview here.
55
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:22,400
Same thing goes for one,
except in reverse.
56
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,366
If I press one once, we're going to start
playing back backwards at normal speed.
57
00:02:26,433 --> 00:02:27,700
If I press it for the second time,
58
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:32,433
we're going to start going to speed
backwards one more time for one more time.
59
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:35,500
And now any point
I can press two to stop playback.
60
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:39,066
So two is basically an alternative
to the spacebar, which allows you to start
61
00:02:39,066 --> 00:02:41,100
and stop playback.
So I'm going to press two again.
62
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:42,733
It's going to start playing forwards.
63
00:02:42,733 --> 00:02:45,433
So one, two and three are shortcuts
I use all the time,
64
00:02:45,433 --> 00:02:47,666
not just when I'm using media
within the media pool,
65
00:02:47,666 --> 00:02:50,166
but when I'm navigating
my timeline down here as well.
66
00:02:50,166 --> 00:02:52,633
So why don't we bring some media
into our timeline here?
67
00:02:52,633 --> 00:02:54,833
So I'm going to select
all of this footage over here.
68
00:02:54,833 --> 00:02:58,933
And what I can do is actually just press
six, because six is a shortcut for insert.
69
00:02:59,166 --> 00:03:02,766
So if I press six, we can see that all of
the footage that I had selected over here
70
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,033
has now been inserted into my timeline.
71
00:03:05,033 --> 00:03:07,000
So every single clip
that was in this folder,
72
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,100
we can see that we've also created
a new timeline too, because by default,
73
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:13,866
if I just drag any media from my media
pool into the timeline window here, it's
74
00:03:13,866 --> 00:03:15,900
going to automatically create
a new timeline
75
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:18,000
if there isn't already a timeline here.
76
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,400
So we just learned about the shortcuts
one, two, three and six.
77
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,533
What about four and five?
78
00:03:21,533 --> 00:03:24,466
Well, four and five
allow us to create in and out points.
79
00:03:24,466 --> 00:03:26,533
So why don't
I select a clip here in my media pool?
80
00:03:26,533 --> 00:03:29,000
Any one of these clips,
I can play through this clip
81
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,133
and go to the point
where I want the endpoint to be.
82
00:03:31,133 --> 00:03:33,900
So maybe around here
I can select four for the endpoint.
83
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:36,733
We can see within this little timeline
over here, we've created an endpoint
84
00:03:36,733 --> 00:03:40,466
and if I press three to play forwards,
I can stop right there.
85
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:42,933
Press five to create an out point.
86
00:03:42,933 --> 00:03:45,900
And now I've created this in and out
range right here.
87
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:49,533
If I hit six, it's going to import that
little section, that little in and out
88
00:03:49,533 --> 00:03:53,300
point right here so that in and out point
that we selected right there, we've now
89
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:56,500
brought it into the timeline here
by selecting six.
90
00:03:56,566 --> 00:04:00,000
So this is a great alternative
to just bringing the entire clip in.
91
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,800
If you just want a little section
of a clip,
92
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,200
hit four and five,
make those in and out points
93
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,833
and then hit six to insert it into your
timeline wherever your play head is at.
94
00:04:07,966 --> 00:04:11,666
Now, the standard shortcuts for in our
I and O, but those shortcuts
95
00:04:11,666 --> 00:04:13,200
are further to the right on your keyboard.
96
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,666
So you actually have to move your hand
a lot more to get to Ayano
97
00:04:15,666 --> 00:04:18,200
but I still have Ayano
set to in and out as well.
98
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,500
So you have both options.
99
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:23,100
You can use four and five or I
and oh whatever your heart desires.
100
00:04:23,166 --> 00:04:26,000
Now four and five are shortcuts,
not just used for media
101
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,333
that you're viewing in your media pool.
102
00:04:27,333 --> 00:04:31,333
We can also use four and five to create in
and out points here on our timeline.
103
00:04:31,566 --> 00:04:35,033
So if I want to maybe just render
a certain section of my timeline,
104
00:04:35,033 --> 00:04:38,166
not the entire thing, I can click four
over here and we've created
105
00:04:38,166 --> 00:04:41,166
that endpoint over here and then maybe
I can select five over here.
106
00:04:41,233 --> 00:04:45,033
So now we have this in outrage over here
and when we go to the deliver page,
107
00:04:45,033 --> 00:04:47,866
we have the option to render
just the in and out range.
108
00:04:47,866 --> 00:04:49,200
We can see that right here.
109
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,600
So, you know,
if you have a pretty long timeline
110
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,900
and you don't want to render
the entire thing,
111
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:55,433
maybe there's only one clip that you want
to render from within that timeline.
112
00:04:55,433 --> 00:04:57,166
You can just create that in an outrage
113
00:04:57,166 --> 00:05:00,666
and just export that one section
or one individual clip
114
00:05:00,666 --> 00:05:02,933
and not have to export
the entire timeline.
115
00:05:02,933 --> 00:05:04,466
So next up, we have option X.
116
00:05:04,466 --> 00:05:07,600
If I select option X, we can see that
we've cleared that in and out
117
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,100
range On my timeline here.
118
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:12,200
This is something I use all the time
because I'm constantly making new
119
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,000
in and out points on my timeline
for many different reasons.
120
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,500
And when I'm done using that in and out
121
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,833
point, I'm
just going to hit option X to remove it
122
00:05:18,833 --> 00:05:21,766
and then I'm back to a normal timeline
with no custom in and out point.
123
00:05:21,766 --> 00:05:24,000
Now, another really
important shortcut is just X.
124
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,800
If I bring my play head to any clip within
my timeline and I select X,
125
00:05:27,933 --> 00:05:30,966
we can see that a new in and out
range has been created.
126
00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:35,066
That is the exact length of the clip
that my play head is overtop of.
127
00:05:35,133 --> 00:05:37,200
So this is another really important one.
128
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,100
You know, if I'm wanting to export
just one clip, I can simply just hit X
129
00:05:41,266 --> 00:05:42,900
and create that custom in and out range.
130
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:46,000
That is exactly the same length as
the clip that my play head is over top of,
131
00:05:46,166 --> 00:05:49,300
and I can just export that or, you know,
if I'm doing some kind of sound design
132
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:52,300
and I want to just loop
a certain section of my timeline,
133
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,966
I can create that in and out point
very quickly just by hitting X.
134
00:05:54,966 --> 00:05:56,133
So that's a great shortcut.
135
00:05:56,133 --> 00:05:57,800
Another really good shortcut for custom
136
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,733
in and out ranges is shift A
and that is mark selection.
137
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,100
So let's say I have a selection of clips
over here and I hit shift.
138
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:06,666
A We can see that
139
00:06:06,666 --> 00:06:10,500
we've created an in and out point for that
selection of clips in my timeline.
140
00:06:10,766 --> 00:06:14,766
This is a great way to very quickly
make an in and out range here
141
00:06:14,933 --> 00:06:19,800
without having to, you know, go here
click for go to the out point, click five.
142
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,700
A lot of time it can be much faster
143
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:22,433
to just select
144
00:06:22,433 --> 00:06:25,433
the group of clips that you want
to create that mark in and out point for
145
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:28,500
and then just hit shift A
And just like that, we've created
146
00:06:28,566 --> 00:06:31,866
the in and out range
just for that group of selected clips.
147
00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:34,733
So I'm going to hit option
X to remove that in and out point.
148
00:06:34,733 --> 00:06:38,766
And the next group of shortcuts I want to
show you is shift one through nine.
149
00:06:38,833 --> 00:06:42,533
So if we press shift one,
we are presented with the project manager.
150
00:06:42,666 --> 00:06:44,566
We have all our databases
here to the left.
151
00:06:44,566 --> 00:06:48,000
We have all our project files within the
selected database over here to the right.
152
00:06:48,166 --> 00:06:48,900
And this is a window
153
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:53,200
that I access all the time for things
like dynamic project switching, copying
154
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,466
one project file from one database
to another, creating new project files.
155
00:06:57,566 --> 00:07:01,966
This is a window that I use regularly,
and instead of having to go down here
156
00:07:01,966 --> 00:07:04,066
to the bottom right
corner and clicking the little house icon,
157
00:07:04,066 --> 00:07:06,433
I always just click shift
one to open this.
158
00:07:06,433 --> 00:07:09,400
It's much faster and it's a shortcut
I use all the time.
159
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,700
Next up, we have shift two through eight.
160
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:14,500
Basically, these shortcuts
just allow you to very quickly
161
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:17,666
navigate between all the different pages
of the program.
162
00:07:17,866 --> 00:07:20,033
So Shift eight is the deliver page.
163
00:07:20,033 --> 00:07:21,000
It's the last one.
164
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,600
Shift seven is fairly, shift
six is the color tab, shift five
165
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,866
is Fusion's, shift four edit tab shift
three cut tab shift two is the media tab.
166
00:07:29,966 --> 00:07:32,866
So depending on
what tabs you go to most often,
167
00:07:32,866 --> 00:07:35,866
you might want to memorize the shortcuts
for those individual tabs.
168
00:07:36,033 --> 00:07:38,166
For example, the edit tab shift four
169
00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:40,033
just by clicking that,
you can get to it pretty quickly.
170
00:07:40,033 --> 00:07:43,200
Now obviously doesn't take too much time
to just click between these tabs down here
171
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:43,800
at the bottom.
172
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,900
But you know,
if your hands are already on the keyboard
173
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:47,900
and you want to quickly
get to the edit tab, for example,
174
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:49,966
you can just hit shift four
and you're there right away.
175
00:07:49,966 --> 00:07:54,133
And of course, we have Shift nine, which
brings us our project settings by default.
176
00:07:54,133 --> 00:07:57,433
We go to the master settings over here,
and this is where I choose things
177
00:07:57,433 --> 00:07:59,833
like resolution for my timeline
and also the frame rate.
178
00:07:59,833 --> 00:08:02,866
And I also am able to choose
my working folders
179
00:08:02,866 --> 00:08:07,000
for where I want to export
proxies, cache files, gallery stills,
180
00:08:07,233 --> 00:08:08,500
all that important stuff,
181
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:11,500
all the stuff we're going
to be diving into within this course.
182
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:13,100
But all you need to know right now
is that Shift
183
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:15,800
nine is the shortcut
to get to your project settings.
184
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,033
So next up, we have TAB.
185
00:08:17,033 --> 00:08:19,400
When I press tab, it hides my media pool.
186
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,600
If I press it again,
it will show me my media pool.
187
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,233
This is a really, really handy shortcut
I use all the time
188
00:08:24,233 --> 00:08:26,600
because a lot of the time when you're done
using the media pool,
189
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,866
you're done importing the media
that you want to bring in.
190
00:08:28,866 --> 00:08:31,333
You can just hit tab
and free up all that real estate,
191
00:08:31,333 --> 00:08:33,600
spread out your timeline
from the complete left side
192
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,566
and right side of your screen to fill up
as much real estate as possible.
193
00:08:36,566 --> 00:08:37,800
This is the best way to edit.
194
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,900
You don't want your media pool
to be taking up unnecessary space
195
00:08:40,900 --> 00:08:42,066
when you're not using it.
196
00:08:42,066 --> 00:08:45,800
So whenever you're done using your media
pool, hit tab, close it off and free up
197
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,133
more precious real estate for the windows
that are actually important for editing.
198
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:49,666
Now, next up,
199
00:08:49,666 --> 00:08:53,300
we have Shift tab, which will open
and close the inspector on the right side.
200
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,400
So I created both of these shortcuts
for both the media pool and inspector,
201
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,400
because those are
202
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,400
the windows that are open and closed
the most out of any of the tabs.
203
00:09:00,466 --> 00:09:02,866
So I wanted to create a shortcut
that would allow me to very quickly
204
00:09:02,866 --> 00:09:04,433
open and close any of these windows.
205
00:09:04,433 --> 00:09:06,966
So Shift tab
allows me to open the inspector.
206
00:09:06,966 --> 00:09:08,900
I press it again and it will close it off.
207
00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:10,666
Next up, we have the tilde key.
208
00:09:10,666 --> 00:09:12,566
And if you don't know what to tell,
the key is it's the button
209
00:09:12,566 --> 00:09:15,133
just to the left of the one right
underneath the escape button.
210
00:09:15,133 --> 00:09:17,133
It's that weird looking squiggly line.
211
00:09:17,133 --> 00:09:18,000
And if we press it,
212
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,000
we can see that the program now
has entered full screen mode,
213
00:09:21,166 --> 00:09:23,400
so we no longer
have that menu bar at the top.
214
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,500
If you want to access the menu bar,
we got to hover our mouse
215
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:29,300
to the top of the screen
and that menu bar comes back into display.
216
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,766
This is great because it allows you to
fill your entire screen with the program
217
00:09:32,933 --> 00:09:33,466
and not waste
218
00:09:33,466 --> 00:09:37,366
any real estate with the menu bar up top
or the application bar down below.
219
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,200
You just have the program
filling the entire screen.
220
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,600
And if at any point
you want to leave this full screen view,
221
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,833
you can just press the till the key again
and we're back to where we started.
222
00:09:45,833 --> 00:09:48,000
But for this tutorial,
I'm going to leave it in full screen,
223
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,200
so I'm going to press it again
and we're back in full screen.
224
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,766
Next up, we have command shift key,
225
00:09:51,766 --> 00:09:55,233
and that just brings up our keyboard
customization window In here.
226
00:09:55,233 --> 00:09:58,533
We are able to choose what keyboard layout
we want to be using, and
227
00:09:58,533 --> 00:10:02,166
we can also customize any of our commands
with any keystrokes that we want.
228
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,000
This is a very powerful tool
that I use all the time.
229
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000
And of course there is a separate video
dedicated just to this,
230
00:10:08,066 --> 00:10:09,533
so make sure to check that out.
231
00:10:09,533 --> 00:10:13,200
So next up we have Q, W, and E,
and these are shortcuts
232
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,166
that allow me to trim
my timeline in a cool way.
233
00:10:16,166 --> 00:10:17,966
So first, let's start off with Q.
234
00:10:17,966 --> 00:10:22,000
So let's say I have this clip over here
and I don't want the beginning of it.
235
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:22,500
We can see that
236
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:26,566
the drone kind of dips down and let's say
I want this the clip to start here.
237
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,266
Well, what could I normally do?
238
00:10:28,266 --> 00:10:32,033
Normally, I could maybe select the Blade
tool, cut it over here,
239
00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:35,466
go back to the normal tool,
delete this clip over here,
240
00:10:35,533 --> 00:10:38,333
this section that I don't want
and then maybe delete the gap as well.
241
00:10:38,333 --> 00:10:40,900
And then I've deleted that
first part of the clip.
242
00:10:40,900 --> 00:10:42,366
Well, that takes a lot of work.
243
00:10:42,366 --> 00:10:44,900
A lot of steps are required
to get to this point.
244
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:48,733
So what I can do instead of doing
all of that, is simply just select Q
245
00:10:48,733 --> 00:10:49,366
on the keyboard.
246
00:10:49,366 --> 00:10:50,433
When I select Q,
247
00:10:50,433 --> 00:10:54,300
we can see that it cuts everything
to the left of the play head on that clip.
248
00:10:54,466 --> 00:10:57,866
And not only did it just cut everything
to the left to play, had it also Ripple
249
00:10:57,866 --> 00:11:00,866
deleted that section,
so everything to the right jumps over.
250
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:05,000
So if I was to
just cut this clip over here
251
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:06,400
and delete
252
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,466
this section, we can see that we are left
with a gap over here.
253
00:11:09,466 --> 00:11:12,333
And that just gives us
an extra step to remove that gap.
254
00:11:12,333 --> 00:11:16,300
We can select the gap and delete it, but
that is the old school way of doing it.
255
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,266
By heading Q We are able to not only
separate this first segment of the clip
256
00:11:21,333 --> 00:11:25,266
and delete it, we're also deleting the gap
that would have been left over
257
00:11:25,333 --> 00:11:27,166
if we went the traditional method as well.
258
00:11:27,166 --> 00:11:30,533
So simply by pressing Q
we've done all those different actions
259
00:11:30,533 --> 00:11:33,900
with one keyboard shortcut,
so that's an awesome keyboard shortcut.
260
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:35,266
I use it all the time.
261
00:11:35,266 --> 00:11:40,200
Now the opposite of Q is E, so
it does the exact same thing, but it trims
262
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,200
everything to the right of the play
head on the selected clip.
263
00:11:43,466 --> 00:11:46,800
So if I press e
we can see that the end of that clip
264
00:11:46,866 --> 00:11:50,966
is now gone and everything to the right of
it has rippled over and there is no gap
265
00:11:50,966 --> 00:11:54,100
left over. Q and E are amazing shortcuts.
266
00:11:54,266 --> 00:11:57,233
Now my index finger
usually sits on E on my keyboard.
267
00:11:57,233 --> 00:12:00,300
That's kind of where I rest my hand
and we can see my ring finger is on.
268
00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:03,400
Q Now between those two fingers
I have W and
269
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,800
W basically
just allows me to split the selected clip.
270
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:10,000
So with any clip in my timeline selected,
I can just press W
271
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,266
and we can see that
it's added a cut to that selected clip.
272
00:12:13,333 --> 00:12:16,800
So this is just a really fast
waits for me to make cuts to any clip.
273
00:12:17,033 --> 00:12:19,433
Personally,
I never ever use the blade tool.
274
00:12:19,433 --> 00:12:20,433
This is the alternative.
275
00:12:20,433 --> 00:12:24,866
If you go over to the Blade tool or press
B, which is a shortcut to enable it,
276
00:12:24,933 --> 00:12:26,833
you can also make cuts like this.
277
00:12:26,833 --> 00:12:29,066
But in my opinion, I never ever do that.
278
00:12:29,066 --> 00:12:34,166
I like to just stay in the regular
selection mode here with my cursor.
279
00:12:34,233 --> 00:12:35,400
The shortcut for that is a
280
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,700
and I could just press w to make a cut
wherever the player head is.
281
00:12:38,766 --> 00:12:41,900
Now, one really important thing to notice
is that whenever I move my player
282
00:12:41,933 --> 00:12:43,200
head, we can see that
283
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,833
whatever clip my play head is over
top of automatically gets selected.
284
00:12:47,033 --> 00:12:50,266
We know that it's selected
because it has that red border around it.
285
00:12:50,366 --> 00:12:54,000
So this is automatically happening
as I move my head around.
286
00:12:54,166 --> 00:12:55,666
Now, if this isn't happening for you
287
00:12:55,666 --> 00:12:59,200
in your timeline, that's because selection
follows player head is turned off.
288
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:02,400
So what we're going to want to do is go up
here to timeline in our menu over here
289
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,400
and just make sure that selection follows
Player head is turned on.
290
00:13:05,466 --> 00:13:08,233
I always leave this on
because I always want
291
00:13:08,233 --> 00:13:11,366
whatever clip is underneath my play head
to automatically be selected
292
00:13:11,533 --> 00:13:15,366
because it allows me to use
the Q and E shortcut so much easier.
293
00:13:15,366 --> 00:13:19,633
Q w in E will not work if the clip is not
selected under the play head.
294
00:13:19,766 --> 00:13:23,100
So by making sure that selection follows,
play head is turned on, we're able to use
295
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:26,866
Q and E very fast
and efficiently to make our selects.
296
00:13:26,966 --> 00:13:29,100
So next up
we have SX, which is ripple delete.
297
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:31,066
If I select this clip and press SX,
298
00:13:31,066 --> 00:13:33,966
we can see that we've now
deleted that clip, but we also deleted
299
00:13:33,966 --> 00:13:37,200
the gap that would have been left over
if we were just deleting the clip.
300
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,333
So let's hit Command Z to undo that
and you can see if I select this clip
301
00:13:40,333 --> 00:13:41,700
and just press the delete button.
302
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:45,066
It just deletes the clip, but it doesn't
delete the gap that's left over here.
303
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:47,433
The beauty of Ripple delete is that it
not only deletes the clip,
304
00:13:47,433 --> 00:13:50,266
but it also lets the gap
saving you a lot of time in the long run.
305
00:13:50,266 --> 00:13:54,500
So next step we have command D, which
allows us to delete gaps in our timeline.
306
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,600
So if I have a group of clips selected
over here, let's say this group here
307
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,700
and I wanted to delete all the gaps
between all of these clips,
308
00:14:00,933 --> 00:14:04,033
what I could do is hit command D
and we can see that it's grouped
309
00:14:04,033 --> 00:14:07,266
all of those clips together
by deleting all of the gaps between them.
310
00:14:07,366 --> 00:14:10,033
This is a very handy shortcut,
especially when I'm making selects.
311
00:14:10,033 --> 00:14:12,033
You'll see me using this one all the time.
312
00:14:12,033 --> 00:14:14,333
And next up we have Command
Z, which is one that we just use,
313
00:14:14,333 --> 00:14:17,033
and that is to undo
whatever it is that you just did.
314
00:14:17,033 --> 00:14:20,733
And if you want to continuously undo,
to go back to a previous stage
315
00:14:20,733 --> 00:14:24,766
of your project, you can just keep hitting
Command Z and it'll take you there.
316
00:14:24,866 --> 00:14:28,166
And if you find yourself going too far,
you're hitting Command Z too many times.
317
00:14:28,166 --> 00:14:30,633
You can hit command shift Z to redo.
318
00:14:30,633 --> 00:14:34,133
So if I command shift C,
319
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,000
we are moving forwards.
320
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,566
So this is kind of a way for us to move
forwards and backwards in time.
321
00:14:39,566 --> 00:14:43,200
Command Z to go backwards,
command shift C to go forwards.
322
00:14:43,433 --> 00:14:46,033
So next up
we have all of our arrow keys up and down.
323
00:14:46,033 --> 00:14:48,733
When I'm in the timeline
view, allow me to jump between the clips.
324
00:14:48,733 --> 00:14:51,433
If I press up, I'm
going to be going to the previous clip.
325
00:14:51,433 --> 00:14:53,166
If I press down, I'm
going to go to the next clip.
326
00:14:53,166 --> 00:14:56,500
So this is just another great way
to navigate your timeline very quickly.
327
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:58,500
If you want to jump to the start
or end of any clip,
328
00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:00,466
you can just use the up and down
arrow keys.
329
00:15:00,466 --> 00:15:04,700
Now, the left and right arrow keys allow
us to move around one frame at a time.
330
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:07,700
So if I press the right key, I'm moving
one frame forwards.
331
00:15:07,733 --> 00:15:08,600
I can keep hitting it.
332
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,133
I'll just continuously
go one frame forwards.
333
00:15:11,133 --> 00:15:13,666
The left arrow key
allows me to go one frame back.
334
00:15:13,666 --> 00:15:16,766
I could just zoom in on my timeline
right here and we can see
335
00:15:16,766 --> 00:15:20,466
the cursor moving one
frame at a time, left and right.
336
00:15:20,533 --> 00:15:23,100
That is what the left and right
arrow keys allow you to do.
337
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:26,500
Now if we combine shift
plus the left and right
338
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:29,566
arrow keys,
we can jump one second at a time.
339
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,700
So this is just a great way for us to jump
around or to play ahead a lot faster.
340
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,033
You know, moving left and right one
frame at a time can definitely be tedious.
341
00:15:37,033 --> 00:15:39,900
And a lot of the time just moving around
one frame at a time is not enough.
342
00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:43,600
So if you just hold shift, move around,
you could jump one second at a time.
343
00:15:43,666 --> 00:15:45,466
So next up,
we have a couple of different shortcuts
344
00:15:45,466 --> 00:15:49,666
to perform this same command, which
is zooming in and out of your timeline.
345
00:15:49,766 --> 00:15:52,766
So the first one is the plus and minus
buttons on our keyboard.
346
00:15:52,833 --> 00:15:57,700
The plus allows us to zoom in
and the minus allows us to zoom out.
347
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:58,866
So that's pretty standard.
348
00:15:58,866 --> 00:16:00,900
Most people know about those shortcuts,
but in Ravenclaw,
349
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:03,900
we've actually customized some shortcuts
to the left of our keyboard so
350
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:06,900
we don't even have to use the right side,
and that's shift W and S.
351
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:12,266
So if I hold shift and W, I'm able to zoom
in shift S is to zoom out.
352
00:16:12,333 --> 00:16:16,066
Now in all honesty, I actually use
those keyboard shortcuts the least.
353
00:16:16,066 --> 00:16:18,966
What I do most of the time
these days is just hold option
354
00:16:18,966 --> 00:16:21,600
and I scroll on my keyboard
just like this.
355
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,600
I'm able to zoom in and out of my timeline
just like that.
356
00:16:24,633 --> 00:16:26,966
And I don't just use the option key.
357
00:16:26,966 --> 00:16:29,700
I also use command to move left and right.
358
00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:32,166
So if I hold command in scroll,
I'm able to move left and right,
359
00:16:32,166 --> 00:16:36,033
and if I hold shift, I'm able to shrink
the size of the tracks just like this.
360
00:16:36,033 --> 00:16:38,200
So scrolling up, I'm able to shrink
it, scrolling down.
361
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,200
I'm able to expand it.
362
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:39,933
And the combination
363
00:16:39,933 --> 00:16:43,400
of those three modifier keys
with my scroll wheel has been very,
364
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,200
very useful for me to navigate my timeline
in a very fast and efficient way.
365
00:16:47,266 --> 00:16:50,633
Command to move left
and right option to zoom in and out
366
00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:54,266
and shift to shrink and expand
each individual track.
367
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,033
These shortcuts are huge in my
personal workflow and are a big reason
368
00:16:58,033 --> 00:17:01,200
why I'm able to navigate my timeline
so fast and efficiently.
