Step Seven:
You know that flyout menu at the top -
right corner of the Timeline panel? If you
ever can't remember the shortcut to do
something, you can most likely do it there.
Also, by default, Photoshop uses its regu-
lar keyboard shortcuts for everything. For
example, if you have the Move tool active,
and you press the Up or Down Arrow key
on your keyboard, it will move your clip
up or down onscreen. However, if you
turn on Enable Timeline Shortcut Keys, as
we did in Step Two, then it uses the short-
cuts I mentioned in that step. So, now the
Up Arrow key jumps you to the beginning
of the currently selected clip, and the
Down Arrow key jumps you to the end of
that clip.
Step Eight:
There's a little right-facing triangle at
the end of each video clip and clicking
on it brings up a settings dialog with
more options for that clip. For example,
you can set the Duration in the Video
settings here. So, if the clip needed
to be 4 minutes exactly, you could set
it to 4 minutes exactly by dragging
the slider or simply entering 4 min-
utes in the Duration field. There's also
a speed control here. If you click the
music notes icon at the top, you'll get
the Audio options for just this clip, in-
cluding the overall volume for the clip's
audio (or you can mute the audio), and
you can set the audio Fade In and
Fade Out points numerically.
