Shortcuts for Video Editing: Work Faster & Smarter
Shortcuts are the unsung hero of every editor — and most people are
still ignoring them.
In this video I explain why keyboard shortcuts are essential, how to
build your own custom shortcut set in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve,
and how to know exactly when to create a new one.
What's covered:
→ What shortcuts actually do and why they matter
→ Default NLE shortcuts vs. custom shortcuts
→ How to save and share your shortcut presets
→ The 3x rule: when to create a new shortcut
→ Real examples: ripple trim, extend edit, clip sync
→ Why editing with shortcuts feels like playing the piano 🎹
Drop your go-to shortcuts in the comments — doesn't matter which
software you use 👇
