Barbara asks:

I loved your short cuts tutorial, it has saved me lots of time and now I’m looking for keystrokes for the things I do a lot – Are there keystrokes for editing from the viewer to the timeline but only doing audio or only video?

Larry: Maybe.

The easiest way to control editing audio or video to the Timeline is with the patch panel. (Here’s an article that explains this more.)

However, you can use the Button List to search for all potential audio keyboard and button shortcuts. Simple type “audio” into the search box. (Here’s an article that explains this in more detail, too.)
