Keyboard shortcuts to move clips in the timeline left or right in a fine resolution

Suggestion

Hi @Meha - there’s a workaround for this. The following will move your clip one frame backwards on the timeline:

  1. Double-click a clip. The cursor goes to the start of the clip.
  2. Press left arrow. The cursor will move back one frame.
  3. Select clip.
  4. Press C (copy clip) then DELETE (deletes clip) then B (paste clip at cursor).

Done. No sliding of the clip required.

To move the clip forwards by one frame, click the right arrow in step 2. Of course you can click the arrow key multiple times to move more than one frame, or use Page Up/Down to move by one second increments…

The “C, delete, B” operation is really useful. You could also create an auto hotkey script (windows) to automate this and make it even easier.
