Spliting a timeline clip in FCP

For those who want to make fast edits on a clip without:

1- Clicking on the Razor Blade tool
2- Pressing the "B" key on the keyboard
3- Aligning the blade line with the head player line (which is not fast at all)
4- Clicking on the exact location of the two lines combined.

You can achieve all that by just pressing a combo of two keys on your KBO

CONTROL + V

This will make an instant and accurate split in your clip.This is very useful and fast if you use your laptop or your keyboard for editing most of the times. I found out about it today and thought I'd share it with you all.

Here's also a link to a comprehensive list of FCP keyboard shortcuts I also found online. Click here

Happy Editing.
