    Posted by Frank Muldoon on February 2, 2009 at 7:44 pm

    I want to save my custom keyboard setup so I can carry to a different computer. In Final Cut Pro this is easy. I can’t seem to find where the file is saved in Premiere.
    I come from Avid to FCP and don’t want to learn a whole new keyboard layout for PP CS4. Does this seem like a good idea or do all you Premier Pros have other advise?

    Since nobody seems to have any idea, I will guess that you could save a project that has your custom keyboard layout and then open that project on another computer in Premier Pro CS4. Maybe your settings will come along. What do you think?

    Search your hard drives for a file containing the name you used for your custom keyboard layout. You will probably need to tell the search to include hidden files and folders.

    Can’t seem to find any file with the name I saved. I can’t search hidden files.

    I see in the Premiere Package that there are the standard keyboard layouts but no custom files.

    What the @#$% did I do?!?!

    Why not?

    Just hit command-f while in the finder. A search window pops up. Hit the + sign to add criteria, select “Other”. 2 dozen or more criteria choices will pop up. Select “File Visibility”. Then you can choose to search both visible and invisible items.

    After searching all files visible or not there is no file that has the name of my saved keyboard layout. I have a feeling it is not possible to move this setting to another computer.

    I dont know why it is so difficult on a Mac. On my computer a search provided the following:
    C:/Documents and Settings/Eddie Lotter/Application Data/AdobePremiere Pro/3.0/EddieShortcuts.kys

    Copying that file to a new computer makes my shortcuts available on that computer.

    Cheers

    I just cannot find the file on my Mac. Visible or invisible.
    Thanks for all your effort to find the answer.
