View keyboard shortcuts in the Compressor Command Editor
Compressor provides a wide variety of menu commands and keyboard shortcuts that let
you control almost every aspect of your transcoding workflow. You can use the Command
Editor to modify existing shortcuts, create new shortcuts, and save multiple sets of
keyboard shortcuts that you can export for others to use. You can also import a set of
shortcuts that someone else created. And if you’re more familiar with keyboard shortcuts
from other applications, you can use the Command Editor to substitute those shortcuts in
place of the default set for Compressor.
The Command Editor provides a set of keyboard shortcuts for Compressor in English,
Japanese, French, and German. The language shown is determined by your computer’s
operating system. To learn how to change the language used by Compressor, see Mac Help,
available from the Help menu when the Finder is active.
