Shortcuts keys

Many tools and functions in HitFilm can be selected or accessed using keyboard shortcuts. Getting familiar with the keyboard shortcuts can greatly speed up your workflow. In addition, many shortcuts can be edited, so you can assign whatever key or key combination you desire. The Keyboard Shortcuts editor can be accessed by opening the HitFilm Options screen on Windows (HitFilm Preferences on Mac) then clicking the Shortcuts tab. The keyboard shortcuts are divided into several groups, based on the area of the interface in which they apply. To the right of each shortcut in the General section you will see a lock icon, indicating that it cannot be edited. All other shortcuts can be edited to suit your preferences.
To the right of each shortcut is a Reset button, which can be used to reset that shortcut to its default setting. At the bottom of the Shortcuts tab is a Reset All Shortcuts button, which will reset all shortcuts to the defaults listed below.
