Pinnacle Studio Help | Keyboard shortcut settings

Keyboard shortcut settings

Studio provides both an extensive default set of keyboard shortcuts and a means of customizing them. The Keyboard page of the Control Panel lists all commands to which shortcuts can be applied, together with their currently-assigned shortcuts where applicable. The commands are grouped by section.

In the top right corner of the page, you can type a command into the search box to find shortcuts or you can enable the Search Shortcuts check box to search for existing shortcut key combinations (to avoid duplicating a shortcut).

To add a keyboard shortcut

1 From the Pinnacle Studio main menu, choose Control Panel >Keyboard.

2 Select the target command.

3 Click in the Press shortcut keys edit box.

4 Press the keys for the desired shortcut. If the shortcut is currently is already in use, the Shortcut currently used by dropdown list will show any conflicting commands.

5 Click the Assign button to assign the entered shortcut to the selected command.

Adding a shortcut does not delete associations between a particular keyboard sequence and other commands it gives access to. In fact, it is possible for different commands to use the same shortcut provided they occur in different contexts. For instance, Ctrl+L is the default shortcut for two commands, Timeline > Lock Track and Media Editor > Rotate Left; which one is activated depends on what part of Pinnacle Studio you are currently using.

To delete a shortcut:

1 From the Pinnacle Studio main menu, choose Control Panel >Keyboard.

2 Select the target command.

3 Choose the shortcut to delete from the Shortcuts for selected command dropdown list.

4 Click the Remove button.

Restoring defaults

Controls are also provided that allow you to restore the default keyboard configuration either for the currently-selected command (the Reset Current button) or for all commands at once (the Reset All button).
