How do I trim only the selected clip on a timeline with a shortcut key?

[joshuamorin]

I have been using the shortcut "Ripple trim next edit to playhead", but I am looking for a shortcut that will only trim the current track that I have selected. Is that possible in Premiere?

Thanks in advance

I did reply to the First Post, right? Or did i miss something?

I don't see how your answer really helps me. It is just another few steps to do, everytime i cut another video track, which means more clicking somewhere else to solo something when i can just click on the clip i want to trim. This doesn't really work as a workaround because if i need to solo every single track first then i might aswell just CMD+K and delete the rest, which defeats the purpose of trimming and ripple trimming in my opinion. Adobe really needs to work on this, the current situation makes zero sense.

That was just my signature, not a comment on your reply.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

One way around this is with the paid plugin Excalibur by Knights of the Editing Table. Its a great plugin for many reasons and there is a way to keymap this trim command as a shortcut.

I will move this to the Ideas forum for consideration. Looks like I am first on the upvotes. Please join me by upvoting.

I' m also trying to figure this out. I think that amazingly this is not possible in Premiere Pro. 

You have to manually lock all the tracks except the one you're working in. And if you want to trim a clip in another track, do the same... Which misses the point of the feature because it was meant to be a quick way to edit instead of manually dragging the clips' end

It's 2025. I still don't see a solution for this request

So sad that this is such an obvious feature but is still not implemented yet. I used Davinci Resolve for a couple times, and it's way faster to just select the clips you want, and clip them using keys instead of manually dragging them.
