Saving 1 second by moving a clip to the timeline using the keyboard instead of the mouse isn’t gonna impress anybody. But if you’re making only 10 cuts per minute, that’s 1h 20m per day you are wasting by not using keyboard shortcuts.

 

There’s a more efficient way of doing almost everything when it comes to editing, and I’m not just talking about keyboard shortcuts. Project organisation, software interaction, apps, tools, and hardware. All of these have an incremental impact on your efficiency, leaving you with more time to watch whatever the latest Star Wars series is at the time you are reading this.

 

Safe to say, efficiency pays. So what can you be doing to speed up your workflow? Today’s guest is Kelsey aka Premiere Gal, a prolific creator who relies on fast turnaround to get her video editing and animation tutorials out to her 417k YouTube subscribers. She knows a thing or two about efficiency, and in this episode, she shares her favourite tips and tools for a faster turnaround.

 

Here are the tools we mention:

• Toko graphics pack
• Soundq
• Storyblocks
• Frame.io
• Wipster
• Slack
• Dropbox

 

Hardware:

• ShuttlePro V2
• Loupedeck
• Premiere Gal Keyboard
