Editing keyboard shortcuts

You can open the keyboard shortcut dialog via File > Settings > Shortcuts. In this dialog you can specify keyboard shortcuts for all Movie Studio menu functions. This allows you to adapt existing shortcuts to your requirements or to add new ones.

The settings are automatically saved in a file upon closing the program, i.e. they will be available the next time the program is used.

The complete menu tree of Movie Studio is displayed in the dialog.

Add keyboard shortcut

To add a keyboard shortcut, follow these steps:

• Look for the required menu item and select it with click. The currently selected menu item will be displayed under Current menu item.
• Then, click on the New keyboard shortcut field.
• Type in the keyboard shortcut. You can also use combinations of any key with "Shift", "Alt", and "Ctrl".
• Then click on Assign keyboard shortcut. If the shortcut has already been assigned, a warning will display.

NOTE Please do not use the spacebar, ESC or Insert key (0 in the number block), as the functions of these keys are permanently implemented in Movie Studio and cannot be changed.

Keyboard shortcut list

Reset: Activates all preset shortcuts again.

Load: Previously saved shortcuts are loaded and activated again.

TIP Movie Studio offers additional presets for users switching over from other programs. These settings make it much easier to switch to Movie Studio.

If you have used a version of MAGIX Video Pro before and want to use the same keyboard shortcuts, load Video_Pro_X.ssc for this version.

NOTE The current settings will be overwritten during loading. Save your current keyboard shortcuts in advance if you would like to keep them.

Save: The current keyboard shortcuts can be saved after naming the file.

List: This button opens a window where a complete list of current keyboard shortcuts appears. You can click on Copy to copy the list to the Windows clipboard for editing and printing using a text editor.
