Any way to set an in point and an auto out point a certain time later?

Question

I often cut my footage between 1.5 and 2 seconds and it would make my life easier if I could just set up a way for it to mark an In point at my cursor and then auto-mark an Out point 2 seconds after that. I looked around and googled but couldn't find any info if this is possible. I'm guessing not but I wanted to throw it out there.

There are a couple of ways to do this:Method 1: Using Step Forward/BackGo to Settings > Playback > Step forward/back many and set this value to 1.5 to 2 seconds in frames. In the Source Monitor, press I to set your in point, then press Shift + Right Arrow to jump forward many frames and press O to set your out point. Method 2: Using Speed/DurationIn the Source Monitor, press I to set your in point, then press Cmd/Ctrl + R to open the Speed/Duration settings. Unlock Speed and Duration, and set the Duration to 1.5 to 2 seconds.Bulk Editing Option: With Method 2, you can apply this in bulk after setting your in points. Set the in point for all your clips, then select them in the Project panel and press Cmd/Ctrl + R to set them all 1.5 to 2 seconds from their individual in points.
