Trim tip

If you have two clips stacked on top of each other, select both, to trim at playhead or skimmer - ⌥ } to trim top then the same key command ⌥ } again trims bottom. I know ⌘B would blade them after two key strokes but thought I would share this as I have just stumbled on it.

Shift with the Blade tool now does a "Blade All", one click.

But knowing that the Command-left/right Bracket key works if you hit it a second time now, that's pretty cool! It was great working for the selected clip, but to work with multiple clips, that's nice. Is that new?

Just stacked up 6 clips, and yep, it trims them (in random order) one at a time repeating the trim short-cut. Nice.

Don't know if it is new just came across it last night, I've just checked again and you don't even have to select the clips it just trims at the playhead/skimmer position.

I'm trying that. Without selecting anything in the timeline, I only get the top most clip to trim, that's all.

I'm also finding that it doesn't work consistently. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I've only had it not work once whilst trying it out.
