Audio Scrubbing and/or Zoomed Audio - Nudging with Keyboard

PostThu Jan 07, 2021 1:39 pm

Is this possible?

Especially on the Cut page,

Use Case:

V selects nearest edit point & puts me into edit view in monitor [good]

But.... even though I can use the < & > keys to Nudge the cut point, I get no Audio or the [very helpful] zoomed audio trim feature, unless the interaction is with my mouse [YUCK]

Even if there a technical limitations to scrubbing via key commands, I think they should at least allows the Zoomed Audio feature to activate when Nudging via Keyboard.

So with mouse:

Same edit Via Keyboard

Oh my bleeding eyes :shock:


So close escaping mouse tyranny.....is there a way?


Also [related] where the hell is the keyboard shortcuts for CUT TRANSITION & SMOOTHCUT :?:

I can say it works on the Edit page.

No it doesn't.

Audio scrub only works if you are on dynamic trim mode using JKL.
And even then Zoomed audio does not , as it's a feature of the Cut Page only.

Don't really want to switch pages just for that.

Regardless of what page you are on, stepping though JKL scrubs audio.

It should absolutely be the same for the Nudge Keys.

Sorry, I meant that < and > Nudge works on Edit. (I just don't use Cut.)

Do you have Audio Scrub enabled? (Timeline menu.)

This still seems to be an issue. Can't hear any audio, when nudging in Trim mode on the edit page. :(
