CMD + T to trim around the clip you've selected. CMD +U for strip silence. Option+0 for quantize. The video was awesome by the way just a few short cuts I use sometimes that I thought I'd share for who ever reads this.
Wow what an amazing video great entraining host. I have just spent 1 hour writing down all the key commands on to sticky notes in front of me in my studio. There is a lot of shortcuts which I’m sure will take time to learn. Thank you very much for this video I really appreciate it🙏🏽
Fab talked about getting frustrated from losing a selection. (COMMAND + OPTION+Z) restores your last selection. In a beat detective workflow, I also use (SHIFT+/) which toggles the link timeline and edit selection so that you can maintain your precise selection while listening to different parts of it. These are VERY useful to me when I am editing drums.
Another shortcut that it´s really good: For alternating WAVE view and PLAY LISTS view: CONTROL+WINDOWS+ALT+ Left/right arrows. I think this shortcut is one of the TOP 5 for heavy Pro Tools users.
Shift + > for fast forward and < for rewind is cool, i use it all the time. Cmd + 1 for zoom is nice as well, always leave it on "single zoom". Just zoom out and back in with this shortcut. Great for very large sessions. Also, you can use shift with the P and ; to select a group of channels to mute or solo them for eg.
EXCELENT video! One of the best tutorials on pro tools on youtube!! These are all VERY useful and I appreciate you get straight to the point for every feature and point made. VERY useful video and great presentation!
I like how if you are in GRID mode, you can change the grid value by using control+command and the +/- keys on the numeric key pad. Thanks for posting the copy faders to sends, I always forget that one.
hitting thumbs up on this because it's gonna ensure I keep getting a paycheck in the near future. lmao. awesome video! simple explanations, yet comprehensive enough to give me examples of when i'll need to use some of these shortcuts
Thanks for the video, some good shortcut tips here. Could you do a video on the benefits of using the mix window as opposed to just the edit window by itself?
On the first row of sends, click with right button of you mouse and select which send you wanna see as a fader.. For example (Send A). Then get it back to "basic view" by selecting "assignments"! :) "Copying to Sends" is copying you're current volume fader position to particular send selected by menu.. Try it! :) ..and greetings from Finland! /Henrik
This is video is so helpful but also so dense. I think it would be much better if it's split in at least 3 parts. Also, it needs an update, but it's still useful nowadays
Well done. There is now an App for iOS and Android now that quizzes/teaches like 200 shortcuts with a keyboard. Search the app stores for "Pro Tools Shortcuts"
My personal fav... (PC) start+alt+click drag to open track..... (MAC) option+command+click drag to open track. so key when comping vocal tracks and there are lots of playlists..when in SLIP mode , allows you to have the region that is selected be duplicated and moved to any available track with out moving forward or backward..only straight up and down!!!
I wish he talked just a tad bit slower, I know theres stop and play but it would help to thoroughly understand the scenarios and concepts for me in partiular, but great video
thanks for the vid.. just started with PT and with this video my life is so easy after writing down the shortcuts. im using the boom for the drums and i guess is not possible to take all pattern notes and copy them into PTs secuencer? 16 steps is a little short for me. thanks 10000!
Merci pour l'info. Enfin une bonne vidéo de l'endroit où apprendre quelque chose d'utile dans la pratique! Une question, la caméra utilisée pour filmer la vidéo? La résolution est superbe! Merci encore.

The best protools vid EVER...thank you!
I have used these for I think 2 or 3 years now, didn't know they mostly came from this video. Really cool stuff, how about a part 2????
This is absolutely the best Pro Tools Tutorial on RUclips! Thank You!
Learned more watching this video a few times than a week in school covering it.
Thanks Fab for these amazing tips! :D this is so valuable! Here's one -> Ctrl + M to mute the selected clip
This is a lifesaver! Thanks so much!
The 9 minute mark made me laugh. Nice bonus tip how to get people out of the studio while your mixing.
Thanks for the video, some good shortcut tips here.
Could you do a video on the benefits of using the mix window as opposed to just the edit window by itself?
Best PT vid period!
Your skin looks so smooth and beautiful. Thanks for the Shortcuts though

Thank's Fab for your awesome videos
Fab is the best!
Hey great clip on shortcuts !
Merci Fab!
Awesome. Thank you! Great tips! I already knew the one about how to get people to leave the room, but all the rest were extremely useful ;)
Outstanding!
My personal fav... (PC) start+alt+click drag to open track.....
(MAC) option+command+click drag to open track.
so key when comping vocal tracks and there are lots of playlists..when in SLIP mode , allows you to have the region that is selected be duplicated and moved to any available track with out moving forward or backward..only straight up and down!!!
Copy selection to track below: CMD-C, Semicolon, CMD-V. Pretty good! I don't know if there is a simpler way ...
This is how a video should be made! Lit! You just made my life easier! 😍❤️
I wish he talked just a tad bit slower, I know theres stop and play but it would help to thoroughly understand the scenarios and concepts for me in partiular, but great video
A very good tutorial, many thanks!
Some good tips there.. Real men definitely use Opt+Cmd+W. lol
Excellent!
Zoom shortcut:: Hold Alt/Option and scroll mouse wheel up or down while hovering over the playlist area.
Great Video.
thanks for the vid.. just started with PT and with this video my life is so easy after writing down the shortcuts. im using the boom for the drums and i guess is not possible to take all pattern notes and copy them into PTs secuencer? 16 steps is a little short for me. thanks 10000!
