Hotkey the tranform button?

Yes, you can double click in the Program monitor, but this has a huge potential drawback: It will select an object that is above the others in the layer stack, even when that object is invisible for a variety of reasons:

- It will select a disabled clip

- It will select an adjustment layer

- It will select an object even if you double click on the CROPPED portion

- It will select an object even if you double click on a fully transparent area of that image.

Therefore, a shortcut for the transform icon is still necessary for these situations. But unfortunately, no such feature exists. Not in vanilla Premiere Pro, anyway...

Now, I have already scripted this feature, using AutoHotKey. Here it is:

F5::clickTransformIcon2()

;EFFECT CONTROLS PANEL ---TRANSFORM ICON CLICKER

clickTransformIcon2()

{

BlockInput, On

SetKeyDelay, 0

MouseGetPos, xpos, ypos

ControlGetPos, X, Y, Width, Height, DroverLord - Window Class3, ahk_class Premiere Pro, DroverLord - TabPanel Window ;This is the Effect controls panel. Info gotten from Window Spy.

X := X+85 ;change these variables to match the icon's position on your screen

Y := Y+100 ;change these variables to match the icon's position on your screen

MouseMove, X, Y, 0

MouseClick, left

MouseMove, %xpos%, %ypos%, 0

BlockInput, Off

}

...and here it is in the context of all my other scripts:

But you probably don't know how to use AutoHotKey, and it won't be worthwhile to learn, unless you do a lot of editing in Premiere.

Therefore, I strongly suggest you file a wishform for this feature, and link back to this thread.

Wishform - Adobe Premiere Pro

Sweet! didn't know I could do that.

Thanks

Double click in the Program Monitor.
