11 Things You Can Do with the S Key in Final Cut Pro

How many Final Cut Pro shortcuts can you access using just the S key? Most editors probably know that pressing S toggles Skimming — but combine S with Shift, Control, Option and Command and it becomes the basis of 11 different Final Cut Pro commands. In this video I work through all 11, including several that I use constantly in professional editing. You'll learn how to: • Toggle Skimming • Toggle Audio Skimming • Use Clip Skimming • Solo selected video or audio • Expand Audio/Video • Expand Audio Components • Detach Audio • Show Audio Lanes • Expand Audio Subroles • Turn on Timeline Scrolling • Apply Automatic Speed Some of these are simple shortcuts, but together they show just how much you can control in Final Cut Pro without moving your hand around the keyboard.
