Questions about switching
Can I bring my Premiere Pro projects?
No. Video has no import of another editor’s project or timeline. Export your finished videos and drop them on Video’s Home: each one becomes a Video with it placed, and its footage lands in Depot.
Will my keyboard shortcuts work?
The everyday ones do: J, K and L, I and O, S or ⌘B to split, ripple delete, M for a marker, ⌘E to export. ⌘/ lists every key, and ⌘K finds any action.
Where do my files live?
In Depot, the account’s storage: every source and every export is a file there, and every Video sits in its Hubs and can go on a client project.
