Question

Keyboard shortcut

Hi,

I'm wondering if my issue is a known oversight by Adobe or I'm just not mapping my keyboard correctly - in Media Composer & Final Cut Pro, I always mapped the letter 'A' key as mark clip, so I did the same in Premiere.  It works fine on the sequence monitor, but it doesn't work at all on the source monitor.  I'll click the source monitor and when I type 'A' it selects the clip that I'm over in the sequence timeline.

Any ideas?

Thanks

PrPro has some keyboard shorts that are "Application" ... they are always "on" ... and panel-specific ones, that are only active when you've got a specific panel open.

The "A" shortcut key for "standard" settings is Track Select Forward, as an Application level short.

I don't know if you're using say an alternate keyboard shorts setup, but I would guess you're running into a tiff between Application and Panel-specific shortcut control. You've got that short set for the sequence monitor, but PrPro doesn't see that short as applicable to the source monitor. So it uses the over-riding Application setting for the A key.

You'd need to check source monitor shorts for that, I think.

Yeah, not seeing a source monitor-specific command for "mark clip". You would think it would work globally.

'You'd think" and what happens ... ain't necessarily so, you know?

See if there's a way to make that an Application level command ...
