On a Mac, use ⌘ wherever it says Ctrl.

Frequently asked questions

Why isn't a shortcut working?

Check that you're not typing in a text field: almost all shortcuts are turned off there so they don't interfere with what you type. For the player, click the video first.

Does the C shortcut work while I'm drawing?

No. While you draw on the frame, the drawing tool takes the keyboard. Press Esc to leave it, then C.

Can I change the shortcuts?

No. Studio's shortcuts are fixed.
