Keyboard shortcut - Jump forward & back

PostSat Apr 30, 2016 3:26 pm

When checking the grading or the tracking across a shot, I would like to be able to jump forward and backward by a fixed amount - just to check at the very start what might need to be done. It'll vary depending on the type of footage as some programs have a longer average shot length than others.

However, the ability to set the move forward/back by e.g. 3, 6, or 9 seconds or e.g. 2, 4 or 6 seconds would be very useful. It would be better than having to scroll or play the clip. You still have to do that eventually but a jump facility would really speed things up by enabling one to "survey" the clip before going into greater detail with the grading or the tracking.

As far as keyboard shortcuts are concerned, I can only see: Step 1 frame +/- and Step one second +/-.

Have I missed something?

Also "Step 1 second" is disabled in the Color page - and I am wondering why.

However, I do like the (new?) Project setting "Automatically cue [n] frames into timeline clips". That's a step in the right direction anyway.

+1

and as I mentioned in another thread, the ability to jump half way between keyframes.

I see that in nuke and is just great: you can do milestones and then just jump between two keyframes and refine...

There is an edit project settings for user selected jump durations. These are however edit related.

Hi!

I can't find the user setting you referred to. Can you point out the exact path to that setting?

I'm trying to use a shortcut to quickly jump 5 secs forward or backward when reviewing my timeline.

Thanks!

In the Fusion page and Fusion Studio you can right-click on the previous/next frame button to get this menu:

It chooses the frame interval for the next/previous frame shortcuts (left/right arrow and [ ]).

Something like this could be useful for all Resolve pages.
