Hi,

I cannot remember the shortcut for advancing to your in & out point that I've set by using the shortcut "B" and "N". How do I move the playhead back and forth without having to drag  it between those two points?

 

Thank you in advance.

SHIFT + Home & SHIFT + End gets you to the Work Area's In and Out points respectively.

Come on! shift plus home and end... sure you nearly have to stretch your whole body across the keyboard to hold all those keys down 😂😂😂 easier to let one measely finger hop between two number keys but hey thats just me 🤔 🤔🤷‍♂😂

In CS6 my favourite hotkeys were fo the comp markers that go across the top of the timeline. You could hold shift and hit the main keyboard number keys this would add numbered comp markers and you can jump from one to the other just hitting the relevant number key. So very handy. I used it all the time.

 

I am only starting with the latest version of this and it seems changed slightly ( for the numbers 1 to 3 anyway) I am currently changeing it back. But try holding shift and hitting 4 on your in point, then hold shift and hit 5 on second point. You should see two new markers. Then jump between the two by hitting 4 and 5 on their own.

You could just hit I and O with the layer selected. Isn't that too obvious?

I was thinking of these 2 points on the timeline. Apologies, for the confusion. How can I get the playhead to junp to either one of those 2 points?

If I hit "I" and "O" it takes me to the layers in and out point. I guess it should be expressed as the work area?

Thanks.
