Learn how to use keyboard shortcuts to speed up video editing while working with Firefly Video Editor.
Keyboard shortcuts are really helpful when editing videos. They let you do common editing tasks, like cutting clips, moving media along the timeline, toggling panels, or adding text, just by using a few keys. These shortcuts make the editing process faster and easier, since you don’t have to keep clicking through menus or using the mouse all the time.
Note
Create a project and then select the Keyboard shortcuts icon to access these shortcuts.
