Update the tutorials for DaVinci17 + shortcut sheets

PostThu Feb 04, 2021 6:46 am

Hi guys,
Im just starting to get into DaVince and use version 17 now on my Mac running BigSur.

I downloaded your airplanes tutorial but after about 10 minutes introducing the timeline I get stuck as I notice that between 15 and 17 happened a lot of changes and its not always possible to follow the tutorial.
Especially the Shift-Klick to quickly insert clips between others doesnt work on BigSur with my Mac and DaVinci17.

Now Im stuck and wonder how I can use that feature.
Are there keyboard shortcut sheets downloadable on your website?
It would sure help me a lot if I could print out and check them in case I get stuck in the tutorials.

And yeah I know making tutorials is a lot of work, but I guess with 17 many things changed and an updates version should be given to new users like me.

Thanks

If you have two clips in the timeline, and a third you wish to insert between them, thus changing the total length of the timeline as you move all subsequent clips to make room for the inserted clip, you can do that by putting the playhead where you want the inserted clip to start, then selecting the new clip, and pressing F9. On a Mac, you might need to play with settings to enable the F keys.

If you wanted to drag one clip within the timeline, swapping its position with another, on Windows and Linux, you use Alt and click and drag. Unsure about the equivalent key for Mac.

Goetz, are you using a German keyboard like me?
Some of the shortcuts are not working because of the different keyboard layout.
Saying "Thx for help!" is not a crime.
