Hello.
Premiere user here, trying to make a switch over to Resolve for editing.
I'd like to know if there is an efficient keyboard-only workflow that will let me:
- Navigate to a clip in the Media Pool
- Load it into the Source Viewer
- Mark in and out points
- Repeat, with the next clip in the pool
So far, it seems that the only way to do this is to:
- Select a clip
- Press Enter/Return
- Watch and mark a clip
- Press Ctrl/Cmd-5 (once I'm done marking the clip)
- Press Down
- Press Enter
- Repeat
These are a lot of steps to move between two clips with the keyboard only.
In contrast, Premiere allows you to load 50 clips into the Source Monitor, and define keyboard shortcuts to go to the next/previous clip (that is loaded in the Source Monitor).
So, my workflow for Premiere is:
- Watch and mark a clip
- Press 2 to go to the next clip
- Repeat
In Premiere, my hands never have to move around the keyboard. In Resolve, it's far clunkier, and I actually resort to using the mouse to just double-click the next clip, rather than messing with the up/down buttons or pressing Enter.
I was hoping that the Media workspace might be the ticket, and it comes close. In Media, you can Tab/Shift-Tab (or even Up/Down) between clips, and JKL through them, but curiously, not mark them in/out (even if the mouse cursor is over the viewer, unless you explicitly click in the viewer first), nor can you Insert them into an open Timeline in the Edit page.
