However, in the projects that I work on, I use the Ignore Event Grouping feature far more often than the Remove From Group feature. But since it’s impossible to make the perfect set of keyboard shortcuts for every user, we’ve built the ability for you to customize your keyboard shortcuts and thus create exactly the behavior you need.įor instance, in VEGAS Pro, the default keyboard shortcut for the Ignore Event Grouping feature is Ctrl+Shift+U and the shortcut for removing the selected events from an existing group is simply U. For those common tasks, like saving a file or playing the project back so you can see and hear what you’ve created, we’ve included keyboard shortcuts that you can use to make your job easier.

Though many of the tasks we all perform in our video or audio editing applications are the same as the tasks everyone else performs, undoubtedly you have something in your workflow that’s specific to the jobs you do. Trim adjacent while ignoring event grouping for fast L and J cuts.Everybody’s workflow is different. Trim adjacent: trims selected event and adjacent event simultaneously L/J trim: ignores event grouping so you can trim audio and video events independently. Slip trim: moves the media with the edge as it is trimmed Slip: move media within event without moving the event Slide a transition or crossfade one pixel left/right (trim adjacent) Slip trim selected events one pixel left/right Time compress/stretch selected events one pixel left/right Move or trim selected events one pixel left/right Slide a transition or crossfade one frame left/right (trim adjacent) Slip trim selected events one frame left/right Time compress/stretch selected events one frame left/right Move or trim selected events one frame left/right Trim left/right (when in edge-trimming mode)Įnter/exit expanded edit mode (or exit edge-trimming mode ) Trim the end of the selected event to the cursor positionĮnter edge-trimming mode and select event start/ move to previous event edgeĮnter edge-trimming mode and select event end/move to next event edge Move cursor to edge of next selected event Trim the start of the selected event to the cursor position Move cursor to edge of previous selected event Move cursor to corresponding marker or select corresponding regionĬreate time selection while dragging on an event Move edit cursor to playback cursor position during playback Jog left/right (when not in edge-trimming mode or during playback)

Move left/right to event edit points (including fade edges) Move left/right one pixel (when Quantize to Frames is turned off) Go to end of time selection or viewable area (if no time selection) Go to beginning of time selection or viewable area (if no time selection)

Zoom waveforms in/out vertically (audio only) Zoom in time until each video thumbnail represents one frame Zoom in/out horizontally in large increments or zoom to selection (if one exists) Zoom in/out horizontally in small increments (if timeline has focus) Maximize/restore the timeline vertically and horizontally Minimize/restore track height (when restoring track height, tracks that you previously minimized are not restored-you can restore these tracks by clicking the Restore Track Height button onthe track header) Increase height of all tracks or bus tracks (depending which has focus) Switch focus to previous/next track or bus trackĭecrease height of all tracks or bus tracks (depending which has focus) Toggle focus between track list and timeline (and bus track list and timeline if bus tracks are visible) Show/hide event fade lengths between selected and nonselected events: Show/hide event buttons (Generated Media, Event Pan/Crop, and Video FX) Show/hide waveforms on events in the timeline
