 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here today's video is going to be a short video regarding Caden live the wonderful cross-platform and open source video editor available for Windows Linux and somewhat recently also at Mac OS and We're gonna be looking at how to set up custom keyboard shortcuts so that you can really speed up your editing workflow now the 80-20 law has a lot of different meanings in different contexts, but the The usage it's often made of regarding video editing software is that you use 20% of the features 80% of the time and certainly in my experience editing within Caden live. It's very true There are some features I barely use some I've never used and there are other ones like Audio normalization for instance that I use literally every single video I edit in Caden live So let's jump into Caden live and just to show you if you haven't already Played around with this pretty useful feature. So you're going to go into You're going to go into settings here and under settings at the very bottom there You have configure Caden live and it's not that one. It's three up Configure keyboard shortcuts There's even actually appropriately a keyboard shortcut to get into the keyboard shortcut editor and this is it now What you can do if you have Something that you you know literally all the features within Caden live are documented here, right? So If I even go into effects for example Audio normalization for example this effect I can actually configure a keyboard shortcut to normalize my audio now the ones the ones I'm constantly using Is a cut clip and I have that set to control R and you can see if you have a custom shortcut You can either type something out on the keyboard Use the default shortcut the default shortcut is shift R and I've changed mine to control R And if you have a shortcut and you say it's no longer working for you You don't use it anymore. You can just hit this little delete icon It'll take rid of the shortcut and then this is how I set a shortcut So you can see what the what the hover text says click on the button then enter the shortcut You would like in the program. So you just type it to watch this. I'm going to click on the button it's now changed to input and I'm typing out my keyboard control R and There you go. It's being set and I'm going to click on okay That's pretty much all there is to it, but just for the sake of You know Thuroness let's just do one more configure keyboard shortcuts Now if I wanted to normalize you have to think a little bit creatively here in terms of what Keyboard shortcut could you set that firstly makes sense? So, you know control n because normalize starts with an n might make sense What you can do is I often use the window key on my keyboard So it comes through in Linux as meta So what I did there is I held down windows and I and then I pressed n and now I can just click Windows n because I don't use the windows key. So basically you set these intelligently You don't want to set keyboard shortcuts that are going to interfere with other programs in the operating system But I do highly recommend it if you have a custom keyboard some other software for example adobe the adobe software people often buy Custom keyboards for them with a ton of macro keys So you can sort of emulate that functionality if you have a full-size keyboard and it comes with let's say a few macro keys Well brilliant You can set those up as six editing shortcuts And if you're editing clips every day in Kaden live for whatever reason, I promise you it's gonna save yourself a ton of time accessing your Most commonly needed features.
