Zoom to Frame Premiere Pro Keyboard Shortcut

By Leave a Comment

Are you the type of Premiere Pro video editor that likes to zoom all the way in your sequence to make really fine cuts? Are you tired of hitting the equal key (=) to zoom all the way in? We all know about the Zoom to Sequence keyboard shortcut the “\” key. But in keyboard shortcuts, there’s also Zoom to Frame that is unmapped by default. I’ve mapped that sucker to “option+\” and now I zoomed all the way in where I want to make those sweet sweet precise frame by frame cuts in Premiere Pro.

First you need to map that function in your keyboard shortcuts.

Then use it to zoom all the way in on your awesome sequence.

Close Gaps in Premiere Pro Sequence

So you have a bunch of clips all separated out by blank spaces between them and you want to delete all the gaps. With an easy change to your Keyboard Shortcuts in Adobe Premiere Pro you can do just that.

First off open your keyboard shortcuts under the Premiere Pro CC dropdown menu.

Second, go to the search bar and type in “gap” to find the “Close Gap” and add a keyboard shortcut to it. I selected “Shift+Delete” for mine. Then click the OK button to save your shortcut.

Finally head over to your sequence timeline that has all those annoying gaps and hit the “Shift+Delete” keys and PRESTO! the gaps are gone.

Did you know the shortcut for activating your source monitor is Shift+2? Now you do, so remember that.

Now, in your project panel hold down your shift key and select a bunch of video clips. Then drag those clips on to your source monitor.

Wait, nothing happened right? Well, hold on there cowboy.

Remember our source monitor shortcut at the top, “Shift+2”? Well, start hitting “Shift+2” over and over again.

You will start cycling through all those clips you just selected and drug up there.

Now knock yourself out and set in and out points and cycle through those clips like a pro and get that edit done!
