  Media Composer Complete Shortcut Guide

  Posted by Zak Ray on January 11, 2009 at 5:50 am

  Dissatisfied with the web-style manual, I compiled a PDF chart of every shortcut for Media Composer 3.

  https://dc118.4shared.com/download/80047470/a20039a2/Media_Composer_3_Complete_Shortcut_Guide.pdf?tsid=20090111-004608-fef632c7

  It’s entirely possible that I missed some, so feel free to let me know. Enjoy!

  [Job ter Burg] “Copy-to-Clipboard: ALT-CMD-C”

  Or, better yet, map the “ALT” modifier to the “C” key and hitting it automatically loads your selection into the source window.

  Besides, doesn’t searching for “shortcuts” in your Avid help files give you the shortcut list? It used to.

  I should add that this was specifically designed for the Mac version of MC. Most of the commands can be translated to Windows, though; for example, the command (⌘) key can be substituted with the control (⌃) key when using Windows.

  “map the “ALT” modifier to the “C” key ”
  That only works with the default keyboard.
  ALT-CTRL-C works with any KB setting.

  Looks like the link is broken. Does this still live somewhere or can somebody email it to me?

  Link looks fine to me, what happens when you try to click it?
