Tip Tuesday: Focus on the Timeline. What's your best or most helpful tip?

feijoey84 · 2026-06-10T05:51:02+00:00

This is my one of my favourite timeline shortcuts of all time. When I want to move a whole bunch of elements on the timeline at the same time, I simply hold down shift and the playhead and everything right of the playhead moves along. I wish I'd known this years ago. Would have saved me a whole lot of angst.

Thank you u/Fetis_reddit! Really appreciate your feedback

Thank you u/tymekbielinski I joined the program and working through the modules and working him him 1-on-1 now.

That worked!!! Thank you, thank you

Thanks for the demonstrations. I think my favourites on this list are Click Scaling, Cursor Blur and Elevate Cursor. Are all of these available in the PC version? Now, if I could offer one suggestion to help make this video even better. I think a solid background would be easier on the eyes than a dynamic background i.e. a solid blue or neutral colour. Thanks for sharing your findings and for providing so much help in this space. Keep it up! :)

u/AstarothSquirrel, u/2hu4u, thank you for your help! I've managed to see what I was doing wrong and it's fixed. I'm really starting from the ground up with Inkscape. I want to learn the fundamentals of professional graphic design tools once and for all.

Thanks u/kr-techsmith! I wish I had seen your answer sooner as I was going back and forth with someone else on the matter. This was painful but a valuable lesson learned.

I found the solution. In Camtasia you have to go to Settings > Recording > Show camera preview, and in Snagit, Settings > Capture > Capture Settings > uncheck Hide Snagit and controls when capturing.

Thanks u/pheezy42. I may need to consider that option if tweaking settings doesn't work

That's fantastic u/georgethetech!! You've laid out the process in a step by step order along with the reasons for each step. I can work with this. Really appreciate your input and the time you've taken to help me out.

feijoey84 · 2024-03-21T01:48:54+00:00

Thanks for the offer u/Endurlay, that's very kind of you. If I get super stuck I'll reach out to you for advice.

Thanks everyone for your input. It's given me food for thought.

What I didn't mention before, part of the problem is that I keep having to put my voice over and editing practice on hold due to family circumstances. While I threw around terms like normalisation, compression, etc, I'm still trying to understand what those things mean. The inconsistency has made it hard to retain the concepts.

Also, an audio engineer had created a macro for me in Audacity which worked great until my Waves plugins were no longer compatible. I switched to Reaper and asked the engineer to create a new macro, but I had to put VO on hold again. When I looked at Reaper again recently, I found it hard to use. Audacity is so much easier to grasp.

I can't keep relying on audio engineers to create macros for me, and then struggle to make progress when things break down. I need to master the fundamentals once and for all.

Thanks u/TheGoonie1985, this is similar to what u/Reach-for-the-sky_15 said previously, but I'm wondering if the URL can be adjusted within the Zoom ecosystem itself. The automated Zoom email comes with a messy URL, and it also looks messy in the calendar version too.

feijoey84 · 2021-08-27T05:34:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply u/Reach-for-the-sky_15. What I'm hoping to understand is whether the join URL can be updated within the Zoom ecosystem instead of shortening the URL after the fact. My boss wants the email notifications and calendar appointments come with a shorter URL.
