The native editor in the Mac app now plays, marks, and trims the way DaVinci Resolve does, so you can cut a whole edit without leaving the keyboard.
Shuttle with J, K, and L
Press L to play forward and J to play in reverse. Press again for 2x, 4x, and 8x. K stops. Hold K and tap J or L to step one frame, or hold both for slow motion. Cmd+/ loops playback between your In and Out points, and Option+/ plays from In to Out.
The viewer has a full transport bar: timecode, frame rate, play in reverse, frame steps, and loop.
One toolbar and a timecode ruler
The timeline has a single toolbar, grouped as tools, edits, clip actions, history, snapping, and marks. The ruler reads timecode, with drop-frame timecode at 29.97 and 59.94 fps. Click the large timecode above the track headers and type a time to jump there.
A source viewer and three-point editing
Double-click a media item to open it in the viewer's Source tab and mark its In and Out points. Then press F9 to insert, F10 to overwrite, F11 to replace, F12 to place on top, or Shift+F12 to append to the end. Q switches the viewer between the source and the timeline.
Trim from the keyboard
V selects the edit nearest the playhead, U switches between the whole edit and one side of it, and , and . trim one frame. Hold Shift to trim five. T picks the Trim tool, and W turns on Dynamic Trim, which trims while you play with J, K, and L.
A few keys moved
To make room, Select is now A, Slide is Shift+U, Spacer is Shift+E, and Bookmark is Shift+B. Every key is listed in Keyboard shortcuts.
