  • hotkeys for specific effects/plugins?

    Posted by Erin Shelby on August 26, 2005 at 11:36 pm

    Hi, if I use/apply 3 plugins consistantly in my workflow, is there a way to assign hotkeys to them so I don’t have to mouse up to the effects menu?

    Make an animation preset from the Animation Menu.

    I sometimes keep an invisible layer that contains often used plugins in the comp- just copy and paste the effect from one layer to the other, if there are oft-used custom settings, save them out as animation presets, as mentioned above.

    Oh yeah, command-5 will open up the window with a searchable list of effects

    dang, just thought- you can right click or control click the layer, a contextual menu will open up, then scroll down to the effects menu without pusing the mouse to the top of the screen. Yep thats all the ways I can think of.
