Hey there I hope you're well it's Friday which means it's time for Fast Key
Fridays! Now how would you like to add in video effects, audio effects or
transitions with just one key? Well that's what today's video is all about
hey there I'm Mark Brown with Editors Keys and this is Fast Key Fridays. If
you've never seen the series before click up here to watch the entire series
from the start or I'll put the link in the description below but this week's
video is all about some lesser-known shortcuts that are really some of my
favorites they'll help you add transitions video effects and audio
effects all in with a single key so let's jump straight into it
and I'll show you how it's done now I do love these shortcuts I'm about to show
you so first of all let's say that you need to start adding some transitions to
your project now what you can do if you have say this clip selected here you can
simply press command + T and that's going to add a default transition now in
this case this is the cross dissolve shortcut but that's not really what I
want to show you let's say you want to add a particular type of transition to
every clip let's just delete this here you can actually choose your own default
transition so let's press control/command
+ v to bring up our transitions and let's say I tell you what let's say
you've just time-traveled from 1990 and you want to make the page curl your
default transition what you need to do is right click on that transition and
click make default now I must say if you are an editor this will disqualify you
as an editor but anyway I'm going to make that the default transition so now
if we press command + T you'll see it now adds a page curl to every single
clip that we do that on now next up is the default color effect now if you
press option + E you'll see that this adds a color board so you can get into
editing your colors in your color correction and you can do that but again
you can choose a particular color so if we let's remove that let's bring up our
FX by pressing command + v and let's say for example you've got a particular lot
or an effect that you want to put on to your video so for this example just so
it's easy to see I'm gonna add this comic look let's look load up and I'm
going to make that the default video effect
and you can do that by right-clicking here click make default video effect so
you know if you're color correcting or you've got a particular or look or style
that you want to add to every clip in your timeline or particular Clips you
can now do that by simply pressing option E and let's go along to this clip
here press option E and you'll see it now makes every clip
in your timeline that video effect okay so next up is audio and there's also a
default channel EQ shortcut you can get to that by selecting an audio clip and
pressing command option + E and you'll see that loads up the effect here now
again you can make this into any effect that you want so one that I use
constantly is the multi-band compressor I'm gonna go to all and we scroll down
to the bottom here I can now make that the default so when I'm going through
and I'm editing some voiceover or audio I can just go into a clip here let's do
that now and I can press command option + E and you'll see now at the bottom we
now have the multiband compressor added as our default audio effect pretty good
hey there we go so that's this week's shortcuts and what do you think of those
I really love them because if you're working on a project which has similar
transitions or effects that you need to add in it's just a super simple way to
get that done super quick so let me know what you thought of those shortcuts I'd
love to hear from you and are you going to start using those too now if you want
