Developers, we need your help.  Hopefully enough other media professionals will ask for these improvements, but in the meantime I'd like to list a few off the top of my head.

 

Macros: We need them, in-app.  Whether they're called actions, scripts, macros... I perform many tasks repeditively, especially when cutting a-rolls.  For example: add edit/ select clip at playhead/ ripple delete/ apply audio transition/ step back many frames/ play-stop toggle.  That's 6 keystrokes that can be done with one action key.

 

Let's get an upvote on this please.

    On the Mac side, you have Monogram, Tourbox, Excalibur and Keyboard Maestro which can create macros that I know of. I think the thing with macros is that something track targeting and placement of the playhead would have to be taken into consideration so it might have a 50-60% success rate. But macros do help improve repetitive tasks.
