Nudging

I have three movie clips I would like to edit together, no problem but I would like to know if there is a way to select individual clips and instead of using the mouse to move them, I would like to know if there is a way to use the keyboard to nudge them more accurately?

Look at your number pad. 1 & 3 will nudge left/right one frame. 4 & 6 will nudge left/right one "pixel" which will be one or more frames.

Is there anyway to get a little more granular than 1 frame? I'm thinking milisecond here :) Thanks!

For one rare moment, jetdv was misinformed. If you're zoomed in far enough, one pixel will be way smaller than one frame. Of course, "quantize to frames" should be switched off.

You do not want to move video in smaller increments than one frame.

Quite true! But you might want to move audio in much smaller increments.

re the video 1 frame thing, does the same go for generated media? Just pondering!

Assuming "Quantize to Frames" is turned ON (which IS the default), what I said is perfectly true.

If you turn Quantize off (which should ONLY be done for audio) and you are zoomed in small enough, 4 & 6 will, indeed, move in less than one frame increments.

You guys are awesome! I meant nudging for audio and turning off quantize to frames seems to be doing the trick. I've 2 audio sources I need to nudge around and sync up.
Thanks again!
