Comparison shortcuts

Key	What it does
V	Opens Duel if two clips are selected, or copy comparison if three or more are selected. If you’ve already picked a candidate, makes the clip under the cursor the second candidate. If one clip has copies, compares them; if it doesn’t, makes the clip a Duel candidate.
Enter	Picks the second clip while choosing a candidate. In Duel, keeps the selected video and rejects the other. In copy comparison, rejects the files you didn’t select.
← / →	Selects a side in Duel or a file in copy comparison.
Space	Plays or pauses the selected video in Duel.
M	Keeps both clips in Duel; puts clips not placed in a folder on hold.
Esc	Closes comparison or candidate selection without making a decision.
⌘Z	Undoes the last comparison decision after returning to the main screen.

Now you know which of your takes to use and which alternatives to keep. In the next section, we’ll prepare a shoot list and gather the footage your story needs.
