Enhancing Source Patching & Track Targeting with Keyboard Shortcuts

I currently utilize the keyboard shortcut to move all video targets up or down in Adobe Premiere, which is a valuable feature for copying clips across tracks. However, I propose adding a similar or new keyboard shortcut to move source patching up or down. This would significantly streamline the workflow when inserting or overriding clips from the source monitor, as it would eliminate the need to manually adjust source patching.

Benefits:

  • Increased efficiency: By automating the process of moving source patching, users can save time and focus on creative tasks.
  • Improved workflow: A dedicated keyboard shortcut would provide a more intuitive and streamlined experience for editing and post-production.
  • Enhanced productivity: By reducing manual steps, users can potentially increase their overall productivity.

Possible Solutions:

  • New keyboard shortcut: Assign a unique keyboard combination to move source patching up or down.
  • Option within existing shortcut: Add an option to the existing "Move All Video Targets Up/Down" shortcut to toggle between moving targets and source patching.
  • Contextual menu: Implement a contextual menu that appears when a clip is selected in the source monitor,allowing users to quickly move source patching up or down.

I believe that this enhancement would greatly benefit Adobe Premiere users and contribute to a more efficient and enjoyable editing experience.
