Final Cut Pro X - can't get the "nudge many" keyboard shortcuts to work on motion keyframes and audio keyframes

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get the "nudge many [up/down]" keyboard shortcuts to work when it comes to audio keyframes. Here's what I don't understand when it comes to the "nudge many" keyboard shortcuts. You can nudge audio keyframes up or down by small increments but not large ones. Yet there are two keyboard shortcuts for the "nudge many up/down" commands. And as you see below, I have them set.

Also, when i select my scale and position keyframes that I made on stills, I can nudge those keyframes left or right incrementally but "nudge left/right many" doesn't work there, even though the "nudge many left/right" commands exist. "Nudge left/right" and "nudge left/right many" work for clip selections in the timeline, but the nudge "left/right many" keyboard shortcuts don't work when it comes to motion keyframes on stills. Is this normal? Or am I missing something?

Hi Ninose

As to the Audio nudge, are you nudging Subframes and not a video frame? There are 80 Subframes/video frame. Adding the Shift key moves 10 subframes so most likely you would not notice the shift. Do it lots of times and you should "hear" the audio out of sync, but even so, depending on the video frame rate, you would still only be making very minor changes. Have a 24fps project, then it takes 80 nudges X 24(1,920 single clicks or 192 "nudge many" to = 1 second). 120frames/second = 9,600 clicks, Whew!

If you are indeed trying to nudge the audio only, are you expanding or detaching audio first? Or is the audio clip a separate clip not associated to video? How zoomed in are you?

Not sure these are the correct default keyboard shortcuts. Did you change the commands? Don't have FCPX open right now but here is Apple's take… https://support.apple.com/guide/final-cut-pro/arrange-clips-in-the-timeline-verc147f195/mac

Note the adjacent media clip handles requirement.

Hope this Helps, Greg
