Tutorial: How to Customize Your 狂热的 Keyboard
Art of the Cut's 史蒂夫Hullfish explains how to customize your keyboard and keyboard shortcuts for smooth and streamlined editing in 狂热的 Media Composer.
Today we're going to talk about 狂热的 editing and customizing your keyboard in 狂热的, which is a very important thing to know how to do. The keyboard’s default configuration is a great place to start, and there are plenty of people who would say that you shouldn't change the default because it makes it harder to work on another editor's machine.
My keyboard has been massively customized since about 1994, and I find it very difficult to use someone else's keyboard. So if you do find yourself jumping between editing stations, I recommend that you keep your keyboard fairly close to 狂热的’s default settings.
Accessing the 键盘设置 and Command Palette
To begin, let’s look at our Settings. There you’ll find the 键盘设置. What you see should look like the 3 columns of information you see in 图1(下面), with general settings groups in the left column and specific settings choices in the middle column. For example, you can see the 7 types of Bin Views, beginning with Basic, Capture, and Custom.

Lower down in 图1, you can also see the various Export settings. 再往下, scrolling through the alphabetical list of settings in the left column, you’ll find the Keyboard settingw. You can also jump to this by pressing K on your keyboard. Double-click 键盘设置 to open up the Keyboard Setting, which you can see in 图2(下面).

The other thing that we need to customize our keyboard is the Command Palette. To access the Command palette, go to Tools > Command Palette (下面的图3) or press Command/Control+C. With the Command Palette and 键盘设置 open, you can see the default settings (图4, 如图3所示).

If you've got a nice color-coded keyboard for 狂热的, the icons shown in 图4 are going to be identical to what your keyboard shows. 在命令面板中, there are 3 important buttons to know about: The “Button to Button” Reassignment button, 活动调色板按钮, and the “Menu to Button” Reassignment button. We're going to start out with “Button to Button” Reassignment. This allows you to take any buttons in the Command Palette and drag to your keyboard, 甚至是UI.

The 狂热的 NEXIS | PRO has all the features that 狂热的's big NEXIS shared storage solutions have, but scaled down for producers with smaller shops but the same need for reliability and sharing functionality that makes NEXIS popular with bigger studios.
This tutorial demonstrates how to leverage 狂热的's powerful and efficient color correction by working in Color Correction mode, which allows you quick access to its color grading features but keeps them out of the way while you're editing.
