Shortcut Select nearest edit point without moving playhead

PostThu Jan 20, 2022 4:01 pm

Hey,
Just curious whether there's a way to assign a shortcut to select the nearest edit point or even better, the edit point to the left or right of the playhead without the playhead actually jumping to it.

Thank you!

No, in the Edit Page at least, I'm pretty sure all the various 'Select Nearest Edit' options will also move the playhead to that edit point.

Depending on your reason for not wanting to move the playhead, you might want to investigate the Cut Page. It uses a "smart indicator" system that always points to the nearest edit point, and "allows you to work faster as the smart indicator will move from edit to edit as you scroll the timeline.". Might be the right tool for teh job?
Let's have a return to the glory days, when press releases for new versions included text like "...with over 300 new features and improvements that professional editors and colorists have asked for."
