No PD setting I'm aware of to do that. PD interface is rather lethargic, unfortunately I've had better luck when I try editing at its slow interface pace. Timeline editing really needs a major overhaul in my view. Cute for little things, becomes a significant burden for any significant project.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. It's definitely lag that makes the clicks register as double clicks, and yeah, it's too bad. PD is a great program overall, but it does suffer slowdowns for some reason. I have an i9 with 64gb of RAM and a RTX2060 and operate off 100% SSD's. There should be zero slowdowns. It's odd that my i7 laptop with a GTX1050 and 45gb of ram seems to fare better at times with editing the same material. Makes you wonder what's going on under the hood. Before I upgraded my desktop PC, I was running a Xeon 12 core with 96gb of ram and I couldn't even run PD18 without significant slowdowns due to the new "upgrades" like the audio preview while skipping through the timeline. I had to get a refund on it because of that. So even on the new box I'm running PD17. I'll try 19.. maybe. Hopefully they will get their act together.

When I double click on some audio, it opens up the "audio trim" dialog. This annoys me to no end as often clicks get misinterpreted as double clicks when I'm working quickly on editing. Can I disable the double clicking to open it and assign it to a key sequence instead, or right click or something?
Thanks in advacne

There are many free apps that will allow you to record a sequence of keystrokes (aka macros), and play them back with a hot-key combination of your choosing.
To let Cyberlink know that you'd like to see this functionality added to a future edition of PD, use File, Rate Us & Provide Suggestions.
Yeah, I have considered that, I just was on vacation and hadn't had time to really put some of them to the test. I did provide feedback as you suggested, and I will check out some of the hotkey solutions out there.

Since you are at the keyboard with Ctrl v with your paste, then two down arrow keys and return is the best I can think of.

Ok that's probably the best answer. Too bad there's no way to set this as its own quick key. The other answer given above is in regards to deleting, which yes I do all the time. This is about pasting, which I also do all the time. Trim to fit is especially useful when you are using audio masking clips to cover sounds like passing cars, train horns, body noises, etc. I find a moment of silence (which is never really silent as we all know) and paste it. I probably do it 20 times a video, at least. A good keyboard shortcut for this feature is sorely needed on my end!

Is there a way to set the trim to fit option when pasting as a hot key sequence? If there is, I can't find it.
Thanks!

No, and there's no way to change that.
I assume from your description that you have one long clip and a bunch of secondary clips that will sync to it at various points, but PD has no way of knowing that upfront, so it automatically creates as many new tracks as the number of clips you've selected to sync and lays them out as they're synced.
I know it's a pain to scroll way down to retrieve the final synced clips, so it might be a little easier if you only sync 2 or 3 clips at a time, even though that'll be more steps.
Fair enough. Well that's a shame. Thanks for confirming!

When you drop a bunch of clips onto track 1 and a large wav file for example on to track 2, PD will put each clip on it's own track, cascading them down like a waterfall until the end. Is it at all possible to keep them all on track 1 and 2 instead of manually having to move them all? It would save me a lot of time.
Thanks!

The one big feature that I could really use in PD is speed ramping. It seems as though this is impossible. I'm not talking about adjusting the speed of clips, I'm talking about smoothly ramping from a regular speed to slow speed and back to regular speed. I realize you could simulate it with a ton of cuts and adjust the speed for each, but that's not really feasible nor does it look as good as what Premiere can do.
Am I missing something? Is it actually there and I just don't see it, or there is some trick to it? If it's not a feature, any idea when it will be added?
It literally is the only thing that I need premiere for.

Nope, that doesn't do it either. I must be blind though, or I just didn't notice, but it is under the Safe for TV dropdown in the Crop Video window. I don't know why it's there, but that's where it is. Thanks for the help guys. SOLVED
BY THE WAY - It looks like you have to uncheck it every time! Lame!

Unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem, and mine was already unchecked. The issue is when the Crop Video window shows up, I don't see anything on there about snapping. Also, increasing the size of the image using the % dropdown in the lower right hand corner still snaps at the same location as if you were zoomed out. You would think you'd have finer resolution when dragging the crop selection at higher magnification but it snaps at exactly the same spot regardless.

I'm trying to crop a video that I made, just a little bit, but the crop tool inside power tools snaps to the edge. I need to get it right on. Is there any way to turn this snap off? I already turned off snap in the main program settings.
Thanks in advance!
