How customize shortcuts in fusion 8.0 ?

Hi,

i have not found how to customize fuision 8 keyboard shortcuts.

Also, all the shortcuts to move playhead in the time ruler mentionned in page 207 in March 2016 user guide not work for me. I'm using 15" macbook pro retina 2015...

Can you help me please ?

Somehow, Blackmagic has managed to release a totally crappy version of Fusion (at least for the Mac). The shortcuts are based on scripts and, since all the scripts are missing in the release version of Fusion, they don't work.

Ok thank you,
do you know if there is a tutorial teaching the way to handle shortcuts ?

Most of the shortcuts ARE the scripts. So it's something specific to your install. You may have ports blocked. Contact support?

I don't think, it's specific to my install. Some other users have the same problem (viewtopic.php?f=22&t=46340). The Beta-Versions were fine, too. But the release version does not install any scripts.

I confirm, i have the same problem, "No scripts" under File > Script

But that shouldn't interfere with the hotkeys. While they CAN load external scripts, I don't think any of the default ones do. They're self contained.

Sounds good in theory, but I'm not sure support is working. We contacted them over a week ago ( regarding something else)...and no news or acknowledgment or email.
Best support I've found is posting here or over at steakunderwater, and praying one of the devs is reading.

Contacted the support and they replied:

"Thank you for contacting Blackmagic support.

I have tested this in our office and you are correct.
Currently no scripts are installed with the latest release of Fusion 8.

I have passed this information to our development team.
If I receive any information regarding this case I will update you."

The support was pretty fast with the answer. But i think it's a shame, to release an installer where the scripts are missing. Couldn't be that hard to try if the program works.

But did you ask if shortcuts were working?

Hotkey customisation is still possible in Fusion 8, but the format has changed (and updated documentation is still pending).

Try something similar to this in a file called "Hotkeys.fu" in your Profile: dir.

Code: Select all

{
  Hotkeys
  {
    Target = "FlowView",
   
    TAB = "Comp_Choose_Tool",
    B = "AddTool{id = 'Blur'}",   
    N = "AddTool{id = 'Note'}",
    K = "AddSetting{filename = 'KAK_v3.1.1.setting'}",
    D = "Execute{ cmd = 'obj:Comp():DisableSelectedTools()' }",
    M = "RunScript{filename = 'mocha_send.py'}",
  },
}


Tried. Didn't work this way.

Drop Hotkeys.fu in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\Fusion\Config

Should work fine then.

Enjoy

have a shortcut? how to write? thx

Hopefully soon we settle it and we can customize our keyboard shortcuts. Please advise!!!
I, for one, do not get to know how advanced frame by frame in the timeline. Keyboard Spanish I don´t know. Keyboard english know it is with "]"

I've been able to put a shortcuts.fu file in Fusion 8 on Windows and then even though no hotkey manager shows up in File/Scripts, at least I can manually remap hotkeys in a text file. I'm unable to do the same on OS X using the same method of naming a text file shortcuts.fu and putting it in
~/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/Fusion/Config

Is hotkey remapping simply broken on OS X or am I doing this incorrectly? I'm on F8.1

Same problem I've just found. I'm to face a session of rotoscoping and NEED a shrtcut to move the playhead one frame.

Manual says:

> Press [ to move 1 frame backward.
> Press ] to move 1 frame forward.
> Press Shift- [ to move to the project’s Global Start Frame.
> Press Shift ] to move to the project’s Global End Frame.
> Press Option- [ (Mac OS X) or Alt - [ (Windows) to jump to the active tool’s Global In.
> Press Option- ] (Mac OS X) or Alt - ] (Windows) to jump to the active tool’s Global Out

None of those works for me. Only Ctrl+] (not Alt) jumps to end frame.
Even worse..., if I try the above keys combinations, the Spacebar key is no longer Play/pause, and starts doing weird things untill I quit Fusion and re-start.

Did you find an answer?


PS: [ and ] keys are, casually, matching places in US and Spanish keyboards.

there is a good thread over at steakunderwater about the topic and there is also some in depth information on how to do it.

Thanks, Michael. I'll keep the link for future reference.

That system looks really powerful.... But I'm not a "scripter", it's way beyond my comfortable operation, and I just wanted to have a "One frame back and forward" shortcuts.

After one hour lost, i finally installed good old Combustion 2008 and made my roto in half an hour.

Migration to Fusion is getting hard for me, actually. Everuday I have to go to some older software because some tricky and unexpected trivial issue.

its just editing a text file and nothing with a scripting.

but you're right here: it should be easier to change the hotkeys

Thank you Michael!

If i just had some simple instructions... something like

- Dowload this file from this link.
- Edit this way.
- Save on this folder with this name.
- Open Fusion and check this and this..


I'm with final delivery this weekend. Too tight for experiments. Next week I'll try to load windows with US keyboard, that could help. I'll post here with the result, for future reference to newcomers.

Thanks for your help!
