These aren’t all the shortcuts I use, but they are my favorites. Add your favorites in the comments, below.
NOTE: It may be easier for FCP 7 editors moving to Premiere Pro CC to change the shortcut options in Premiere to match FCP 7 shortcuts. However, I prefer using Premiere shortcuts in Premiere and Final Cut shortcuts in Final Cut.
