Navigation Shortcuts

Navigation shortcuts let you review playback and allow you to move through a video. You’ll be
using this one a lot too to when reviewing your edits. Very handy! And similarly to the Tools
shortcuts, they are the same for both Windows and Mac OS users.

Command Shortcuts

The easiest way to think of command shortcuts is this: they’re related to the File menu options.
You know, the list below the title bar of the Window. Instead of having to click and scroll
through the File dropdown, you can quickly strike a couple of keys, and away you go! By using
these existing shortcuts, think about how much easier it will to get started on a new project, save,
import, and more!

will be your best friend to get the job done. Essentially, clipboard shortcuts make editing a little
