I've always worked fastest with keyboard shortcuts when editing and always prefer to avoid using the mouse. I love keyboard shortcuts so much that I use the mac program Alfred to do nearly everything on my mac.
I'm about to begin editing a long format documentary (90-min or so) and I'm curious to know which NLE has the most keyboard assignable shortcuts. Among the most important for me would be, shortcuts for:
• video key framing (I'll be using a lot of stills that I will need to animate (zooms/pans), so having keyboard shortcuts to add, move, and jump from one keyframe to another is critical.
• audio key framing - exact same needs
• navigating across hundreds of files (video, audio, stills) that will be used in the long format doc-film. Keyboard shortcuts for drilling down and up through folders would also be crucial (bearing in mind that FCPX doesn't use bins)
Would very much appreciate any feedback/advice as to which NLE offers the most keyboard shortcuts or allows you the most freedom for assigning such shortcuts.
