The custom shortcuts we use to edit super fast in the studio:

  1. Add edit Our Setting - F3
    Default Setting - (Cmd-K)
  2. Zoom In/Out Our Setting - (-) and (=), (1) and (2)
    Default Setting - (-) and (=)
  3. Hand tool Our Setting - (§)
    Default Setting - (H)

Those are the big ones. We also use Option ⌥ + 1 to 5 to colour-code clips on the timeline and in bins. Option ⌥ + 1 - Blue Option ⌥ + 2 - Mango Option ⌥ + 3 - Forest Option ⌥ + 4 - Purple Option ⌥ + 5 - Teal

And some bonus ones: Option ⌥ + A - Iris (for the default clip colour) Option ⌥ + D - Rose (for a really bad clip)

How to install the shortcuts

How to manually locate the .kys file on the source system and manually move it to the appropriate folder in your documents:

  1. Go to Finder and on the top find Go/Go to Folder...
  2. Enter this:
~/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro
  1. Open the folder with the latest version of Premiere that is installed (in my case 25.0),
  2. Open the folder Profile-CreativeCloudName (in my case Profile-miro),
  3. Open the folder Mac,
  4. Drop the SG Shortcuts.kys file in there:
    Transclude of SG-Shortcuts.kys
  5. Now in Premiere, go to Keyboard Shortcuts:
  6. Finally, select SG Shortcuts in the keyboard preferences:
