Using a numerical keypad
If your keyboard has a separate numerical keypad, you can use it to enter timecode
numbers directly. For example, as long as no clips are selected, if you type 700 ,
Premiere Pro will position the playhead at 00:00:07:00. There’s no need to enter the
leading zeros or number separators. Be sure to use the numerical keypad, on the right
on your keyboard, and not the numbers along the top of your keyboard (these have a
different use).



  1. Position the playhead just as John sits down. Around 01:54:14:00 is perfect.




  2. Click the Mark Out button , or press the O key on your keyboard to add an Out point.




Note
In and Out points added to clips are persistent. That is, they will still be present if you
close and open the clip again.

Tip
If you hover your pointer over a button, a tooltip appears displaying the name of the
button followed by the keyboard shortcut key for that button in brackets.

Remember to turn off the loop playback option if you don’t want clips to loop between In and Out points when

only as they use each clip. Your preference may depend on the kind of project you
