Layers and effects
Adjustment layer creates layers with the effects and presets in your queue: click, one per clip; Shift, one over the selection; Cmd, a mini layer over each cut. Apply puts the queue straight on each clip. Color matte makes solids.

The problem.
Sound familiar?Small jobs, all day.
Creating an adjustment layer the exact size of the selection, flipping ten clips, freezing a frame, staggering texts, syncing two cameras by audio. None of this is hard in Premiere: it is slow, and it repeats all day.
HyperTools puts those tasks on a palette of buttons. Almost all of them have a variant with Shift, Alt or Cmd, and Reset undoes the last thing HyperTools did, step by step. Open it in its own window with the ⧉ button to keep it next to the timeline.
What it does.
The palette, grouped by what you do.
Nest and un-nest
Nest only what is selected and leave the nest in place; Shift asks for a name. Un-nest takes the clips back out, in their relative tracks.
Staircase, inverted, symmetric
Each clip on its own track: they keep their start and end together, the same upside down, or with identical start and end.
Sync and close gap
Sync aligns the selected clips by audio, like Premiere’s Synchronize. Close gap closes up the clips on each track; linked audio travels with its video.
Freeze
Freezes the frame at the playhead as a PNG on the track above: 5 s, or to the end of the clip with Alt. Shift copies it to the clipboard.
Paste
Whatever is on the clipboard, at the playhead, on a free track above and without overwriting anything: an image (saved with the project, as a 5 s clip), copied files from the Finder, or a text, which comes in as HyperCaptions text with your chosen style. Reset removes it.
D-pad
Moves every selected clip or graphic at once: 1% of the frame per click, 5% with Shift, corners for diagonals and the center to center. Alt+click duplicates in that direction. Cmd+Shift+click moves them on the timeline.
Flip, fit, safe zone
Flip H and V toggles. Fit/Fill toggles between filling the frame and seeing the whole image. Safe zone draws a Reels guide on top; remove it before exporting.
SFX to clips
Select a sound and the clips that should get it: it is duplicated at the start of each one, as is, with its trim, level and fades.
BetaQC scan and Organize
QC scan adds a red marker where the sequence goes black or has offline media. Organize sorts loose project items into color-coded bins and shows you the plan first.
