What is the purpose of the "Fast Menu" in the timeline?

The purpose of the "Fast Menu" in the timeline is to provide quick access to frequently used editing and navigation commands. This feature enhances workflow efficiency by allowing editors to access tools and options without navigating through multiple menus or panels, saving time during the editing process.

The Fast Menu consolidates essential functions in a single interface, enabling users to perform actions like cutting, copying, pasting, and moving clips with minimal effort. This is particularly beneficial during intense editing sessions where speed and ease of access to tools can significantly impact productivity.

Other options, while related to certain functionalities within Media Composer, do not encapsulate the primary purpose of the Fast Menu. For instance, adjusting audio levels, previewing effects, and sharing projects, while important tasks, are managed through different tools or workflows within the software. The Fast Menu specifically focuses on providing a streamlined approach to editing and navigation commands.
