Hi,
i found this old video on facebook and it's a pretty clever workaround:

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=358261549450720

he assigned ctrl+tab to the "move playhead to cursor" command and it simulates skimming if you keep those button pressed, it orks pretty well on my machine (but i have a pretty powerful pc and i tested on prores footage)

Skimming, так как это реализовано в FCPx, Это невероятно полезная и удобная функция! Она экономит много времени и это дейтвительно удобно! Я был удевлён, что этого нет в продуктах Adobe...

The skimming feature is good for some things, but it's not perfect. Thankfully, it can quickly be disabled when you want a traditional experience.

LOL about Apple. I am by no means a fanboy and go with what I think is the best, but the scale is tipped to start because no one in my family uses Android. Things like sharing calendar appointments and notes wouldn't be easy, but with the release of the latest MacOS, I've been doing a lot more cursing than cheering and am considering swithing to Andorid and Windows.

That's an interesting sounding tool ... anything interesting is probably useful to add in. There's some Avid trim things it would be nice to have too.

Apple ... bunch of kindergartners ... if I ever touched it, it's mine, if I like it, it's mine ... 😉

No one owns any Apple junk...because they don't make junk. 😉

To elaborate on skimming, there's a secondary skimmer playhead that follows the cursor, and anything (both audio and video) that are underneath the playhead, are seen and heard in the viewer. Editors can interact with the clips that are underneath the skimmer playhead without having to click the mouse to make the primary playhead jump to that position.

This makes some tasks like cutting voiceovers very fast. Move the cursor to the end of a waveform, tap the keyboard shortcut for cutting a clip, and it's cut. Then, move the cursor to the start of the next waveform and ripple delete the silence in between. Do that for 50-60 cuts, and it saves a lot of time, but it's not perfect.

If you accidentally bump your mouse, you'll end up cutting in the wrong spot, and if you didn't catch it, you'll find yourself wondering where the heck the audio clip you wanted to use when you go to match them to the video.

Like an awful lot of people, I've never owned any Apple junk. No idea therefore what FCP does.

So actual detailed explanations are required. And useful.

Do you mean to have the frame preview when you hover the cursor over the clip in the timeline panel? Like when you do it in the Bin panel with the Icon view?

there should be 2 options , enabling skimmer and clip skimming, as like final cut pro, we can directly delete unwanted clips just by skimming and selecting the clips at time....it saves lot of time and increase editing speed
