<p>How do you rate a series of takes in Premiere?
I'd like to be able to look at a series of takes, and quickly mark each one out of 5 or 10, using the keyboard more than the mouse... Is there a good way to do this?
Thanks..</p>

In the Metadata Display window, activate the **Rating** display under **Basic**. This way, you get your five-star rating system right in the project panel (you can change the position of the rating column using drag-and-drop). Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to assign shortcuts to this star rating system.

You could, for example, use a color code as your rating system (e.g. green → blue → yellow → orange → red). Then, you can assign shortcuts to these colors: Press `CTRL`+`ALT`+`K` to bring up the Keyboard Shortcuts window. The color shortcuts can be found under **Edit** → **Label**.
