Cannot slide Audio clips with Keyboard Shortcuts

[soom1976]

In previous versions of Premiere I often used the keyboard shortcut ALT + > and < to nudge (slide) clips on the timeline. In the last version (14.0.0) this is broken - I still can slide Video clips, but it doesn't work for audio any more.

Instead it appears to be moving a tiny bit, but it actually doesn't

I am on Mac OS High Sierra

Anybody has this issue? I have reported it also on the Feedback page

thanks

UPDATE: OK, I have just realised, that Show Audio Time Units was enabled in the Sequence setting. Still - this is strange, that I cannot slide the audio-clip in this mode too.

You can, but for 48000 Hz audio you must press they keys 48000 times to slide the audio for one (1) second. Zoom in and you will see the audio clip move.

Ok, I see now - your explanation makes sense, but it doesn't really help for usability... is there any way I could increase these increments? I tried ALT + SHIFT, but it doesn't help much - 4800 times for a second is still enormous.

It is so frustrating switching between the two modes every time I need to move the audio just a little bit (less than one frame).

I work with animation, so working frame by frame is important for my workflow...

AFAIK there is not possible to change that.

I find myself in similar situations as you as well and i have assigned a keyboard shortcut to Show Audio Time Units. I use Shift+A and can easily toggle between the two. For me this works good when working with audio.

Assigning a keyboard shortcut makes it lightning fast to switch betwen frames/audio time units and vice versa. 🙂

Thanks. Yes, I will do that now. Thanks for the help!
