Keyboard Shortcuts for Premiere Pro

What is Premiere Pro Keyboard Shortcut Keys?

Adobe Premiere Pro is an Adobe Systems Timeline Video Editing App. Premiere Pro supports video-editing with up to 10,240 resolution by 8,192[10] in both RGB and YUV, with up to 32-bit color. Audio sample editing, support for VST audio plug-in and 5.1 surround sound mixing is provided. The plugin architecture for Premiere Pro allows you to import and export formats outside of QuickTime or DirectShow support for a wide variety of applications.

You can use the GUI to view the keys assigned and available for assignment. When you hover over a keyboard layout, a tool tip reveals the full command name. The keyboard displays all of the shortcuts that require modification when you select a modifier key for the keyboard layout. To achieve this result, you can also press the hardware key to change it.

You can view all the commands assigned to this unmodified key and all other modification combinations when you select the key on the keyboard layout.

• Premiere Pro detects the hardware of a keyboard and displays the corresponding keyboard layout.
• If a non-supported keyboard is detected by Premiere Pro, the standard view is the US. Keyboard in English. The default is to display the preset of Adobe Premiere Pro Default.
• The preset pop-up menu is changed to Custom when you change the shortcut. You can choose Save As to save the personalized shortcut as a preset when making the required changes.

Shortcuts of Application Premiere Pro

• Application shortcuts and command shortcuts can be assigned commands.
• The shortcuts function irrespective of the panel focus and panel shortcuts only work with a focus panel.
• Some keyboard shortcuts only work in particular panels. This means you can have the same key assigned to you more than once. The pop-up window can also be used, with a certain number of panel shortcuts displayed (for the time line, for example).
• If the shortcut panel has the same shortcut as an application Shortcut, it does not work when it is focused.
• The command list, which is filtered using the search criteria, can search for commands. To create the shortcut (even adding modifiers), you can also assign shortcuts by clicking on the shortcut column and typing on their keys.
• A shortcut to an application shortcut already used by another application shortcut is displayed.
• Another command in the same panel already has a panel shortcut in use.
• An application shortcut will be overridden by a panel if this panel is focused.
