Post by LouBruno »

What is the Powerkey procedure to enter time (seconds) values via the keyboard numbers? Which window is it used?

I can't seem to remember........old age I guess.

If you want to move a slider to adjust either a timecode
or a numerical value, proceed as follows:
For instance, in the „Edit“ screen open the „New Scene“ menu and select the „Length“ slider by pressing the t key code to activate it. If, say, the slider currently displays a length of 3 seconds and you want the scene to have a length of 5 seconds, you have various options open to you. Moving the slider using the navigation arrows would allow you to enter a value precisely but it would definitely
take too long.
Pressing the End key would move the slider too far to the right and is therefore of no use here. So you can either use the Page Down key or enter the number directly. If you decide to use the Page Down key, you have to press the key twice in order to increase the length from 3 to 5 seconds, since one press of the key equates to one second on the slider.
If you decide to enter the number directly, press the Alt key and, while keeping it pressed, enter the values 5, 0, 0 one after the other. If you were to only enter the number 5, a length of only 5 frames would be added to the slider’s position.
Here's what I found the other day. Just press Alt and the values needed. Works in the EDIT and NEW SCENE menus.
