CTRL +K not working.

CTRL +K not working.

Postby Cope This 719 » Tue Dec 03, 2013 11:48 pm

I am having a little problem. I have a project divided in two. On one of these sequences I select Ctrl + K and I get a break. On the second of these sequencies the Ctrl +K does not work. I have tried this on a new separate Project and it works properly.

Any Help most appreciated.

Make sure the sequence is selected and the yellow border appears around the timeline window. The only time I've seen this happen is when something else was clicked on and the yellow border was not showing. If it's not showing, click on the timeline to select the window.

I'm thinking there may be a bug in the program.

I couldn't duplicate your problem exactly, but I did manage to break ctrl+k. I found that by toggling on and off the track lock, ctrl+k stopped working. Turning track lock on should prevent edits, but turning it off should revert back to edits enabled. It doesn't in my release of Premiere Pro. It's like they forgot to enable the property. The razor tool still works though and Ctrl+shift+k seemed to work also. Once broken, I couldn't find any effective way to restore the ctrl+k functionality in that project except to ctrl+z back to before I toggled the track lock. I suspect that once saved, the behavior is locked in for subsequent sessions, but I didn't test that. A new project would not be affected.

Perhaps something similar is happening to your sequence.

I'm using Premiere Pro CS5.5.2.
I can't get it to not work. I duplicated what Bob did, but my ctrl-k works fine.
Are you making sure that the track indicator to the left of the timeline is highlighted ("video 1" or "audio 1", etc.)? Ctrl-k will only affect tracks that are highlighted.

I'm using Premiere Pro CS6.0.5.

Yes, Peru is right. Be sure the track is selected. Selecting the track is not the same as selecting the clip. It should look something like this:

FYI, I deleted the project I was using to test with and recreated it. I can no longer break ctrl+k.

Here is the latest development.

I have started a new Document just 5 mins long and guess what it works YES the CTRL + K works. However the old document doesn't . This is possibly because it is 1 hr, 30 mins long. I have changed my preferences/memory to have 12.9Gb in the hope of it working but no luck. I wonder if I am going to have movies limited to 1 hr 30 mins.

Duration shouldn't have anything to do with it.

You can always use the Razor tool. Press C to activate the razor tool and click on the clip in the timeline to cut. Press V to restore the cursor to the selection tool.

Bob,
the Razor method will do the job for me.

Thanks to every one
