I hope this gives you an idea of how much you can do to get Premiere Pro working optimally for your workflow. An example of Ctrl+Clicking a clip in the Project Panel and Revealing it in the Finder of a Mac. Rather than Ctrl+Clicking every time, it’s time to map this to the keyboard. The quickest way to find these clips is to use Reveal in Project to see assets inside of Premiere, and Reveal in Finder to find the assets on your system. I also constantly need to reference where assets are stored on my computer or external drive. So often, I find myself trying to remember where a clip is saved within a specific bin. Reveal in Finder (Explorer) and Reveal in Project An example of a Zoom to Sequence Timeline An example of a Zoom to Frame Timeline I choose to use the \ button to make it relatable to Zoom to Sequence, which uses the \ as a shortcut. This command allows you to get to the frame level without having to press the = button several times. My next favorite is Zoom to Frame, and that isn’t mapped to the keyboard by default. Zoom to Sequence is one of my favorite shortcuts as it allows you to get an overview of your entire timeline no matter what level you’re zoomed in on. Rather than disabling it from the Sequence menu, map it to a keyboard shortcut. In other workflows, you don’t want this option on. An example of Selection Follows Playhead in the Color Workspace (notice the highlighted clip in the timeline)
For instance, when you switch to the Color Workspace, this option allows you to work in the Lumetri Panel ensuring that when you make adjustments, a Lumetri Effect will be added to the clip. There’s a handy option that automatically turns on when you switch to specific Workspaces, called Selection Follows Playhead. Repeat for up to ten track height presets.

The option under your timeline display settings to save a track height preset.ģ. Open your timeline display settings (use the wrench icon in the timeline) and save this as a track height preset while choosing a keyboard shortcut to save it to as well. Resize your tracks for a specific workflow (e.g., working with titles on V3)Ģ. You don’t have to use your mouse to constantly resize the height of your video and audio tracks – there’s a keyboard shortcut for that, and the process is simple.ġ. At one moment, you need to focus on your V1 track having those clips nice and big, and the next – you need to fine tune audio on tracks A3 and A4. The video editing process involves a constant struggle for real estate in Premiere Pro, especially in the timeline.

ADOBE PREMIERE KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS LIST SERIES
A series of Label Colors available under the Edit Menu that have been mapped as keyboard shortcuts. This process saves me a few seconds each time I do it. This makes it so easy to select a series of clips and easily apply the shortcut. On my keyboard, I have a shortcut set up for my five most used labels under Opt(Alt)+Ctrl+the letter of the color. Three of the Label Colors have been changed from their default. While part of setting up labels should be done under Premiere’s Preferences (e.g., choosing custom names for label colors and identifying Label Defaults), simply mapping each Label Color to a keyboard can save you so much time.
Color coded systems make it easier for you to organize your clips and assets and they also make your timelines look really pretty. They keep you organized and sane throughout post production. Labels are an essential part of the editing process. You’ll also find a link to my custom Premiere Pro keyboard setup, which is available for download.
