Keyboard shortcut file location

[Jon Barrie]

There is… It’s not an easy find, it is under the user profile and is a .kys file type. You will need to dig deep…

I’m going to throw it out to someone else out there to give you the string, I’m not in front of my system right now. The file is out there.

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Premiere Pro/5.5/*.kys

We regularly sync this, the Effects Presets and AME Presets (although the later is in ~/Library/Preferences/Common/AME/5.5/Presets) across our three seats of Premiere.

Good luck!

Great reply, thanks.
How exactly do you “sync and update”.
Sorry about the dumb question…new to PPRO.

In my Mac, the Common/AME/5.0/ is empty.
There is no 5.5 even thought I’m using CS5.5

I did a search for .kys and found one but, it wasnt my AVR custom setting for the keyboard.

PS- my MacPro has Lion installed.
Library/Preferences/Adobe/Common/AME/5.0 is only present and 5.0 folder is empty.
How do I save my custom keyboard to this folder?

The AME preset folder will be empty until presets are created. 🙂 We have preset workflows for specific clients and some consistent formats for deliverables.

As far as sync’ing goes we use a few 3rd Party Utilities and some custom scripts; there are lots of options although it will require having write access to users’ folders.

A simple SFTP browser will work too if you enable SSH on each Mac – this is the easiest method but will give users file-level access to others’ home directories so should be used with care.

One way would be to have presets be copies nightly to a shared location so they can be downloaded and used as required by other workstations/users. As of yet there is no cookie cutter solution that will suit all shops, but lots of possible DIY solutions that are consistent and reliable.

I do wish these settings were in a place more conducive to simplified multi-seat management but as it stands now it’s not the end of the world.

I’d be interested to hear what others are doing too!

“Signed into Creative Cloud Sync Settings

This is for CC versions, but I imagine CS5.5 used the same location just make it how you want, copy and past the .kys file to each machine

The path below will take you there.
NOTE* If you made any custom installation configurations this may be different but if you’ve installed it like the most of us, this will be a BREEZE!

C:\Users\username\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\9.0\Profile-username\Win

Or in laymen turms,
1.) Click your internal hard drive
2.) Click on Users
3.) Click the folder with your name or your computer name on it
4.) Click My Documents
5.) Click Adobe
6.) Click Premiere pro (wich ever version you have)
7.) Click 7.0 or 8.0 or 9.0 (Wich ever one you have)
8.) Click Profil-username
9.) Click Win, Yeah…. This folder will be empty but this is where you will place your Keyboard shortcuts.

Simple answer, done.
