Add Black (or solid color)

PostWed Feb 01, 2023 12:05 am

The Blackmagic Editor Keyboard has a key for inserting a black slug to the timeline. It would be great to have a regular keyboard shortcut for it. Currently I keep the Effects tab open with Solid Color in my favorites, so that I can keep it up in the source window as much as possible (use it often, mostly for separating slx). A simple shortcut would be nice.

I think that's a reasonable idea.

Not sure I like this.

You want a shortcut for Black.

Someone else wants a shortcut for Adjustment Clips.

Next guys wants a shortcut for something else.

Pretty soon there aren't any shortcuts left.


I'm thinking the normal Insert/Overwrite/Append shortcuts are sufficient here.

Lol I will think of more for you. It's not like we're running low on possible keyboard combinations. And black slug is already on the Blackmagic Editor Keyboard.

I think if you look at the number of modifier keys (control-option-shift-alt) you could find enough keys for a shortcut for this. But you can't make it a shortcut unless it's in one of the dropdown menus.
