Chapter 2

Erasing a button
If you want to remove a Media Composer function from a button, then you can use the Blank
button function found in the Other tab of the Command Palette. Note that you can not use
the Undo command to reverse this action. Instead you'll have to remap the function that was
there originally.

Moving a button
When the Command Palette is open and the Button to Button Reassignment selection
is enabled, you can move a button from one location to another within a button region
(for example, below the Source and Record Window, on the keyboard, on the Timeline
Toolbar, or on the Fast Menu Tool Palette) and it will swap positions with the button
function that is already there.

Copying a button
When the Command Palette is open and the Button to Button Reassignment selection is
enabled, and when you move a button from one button region of the interface to another, it
will be copied. For example, moving an existing button function from below your Source
window to your Timeline Toolbar will copy it.

Keyboard mapping ideas


Are you worried that you'll mess up your keyboard? See the discussions of duplicating
settings, activating alternate settings, and restoring settings to default at the beginning
of this chapter in the section called Settings overview to put your mind at ease.

Are you wondering where to start mapping? Start with the "F" keys. Be aware that if you're
operating a PC, then the F1 key is not available for mapping. It's reserved for the Help system
of the Windows OS.

My suggestion is to start slowly, only mapping one or two things every day or so, rather than
to make a lot of changes all at once. Give yourself time to get used to having a function or
tool at your fingertips in a particular location. Let your mapping grow and change as you need
it and evaluate it. Be attentive for the first few days with new mappings and assess whether
the position of a function is working as well as it could for you. Don't be afraid to experiment
in finding just the right location(s). Also, don't worry about replacing default button functions,
because once you have a function in a comfortable spot, it won't take long before it's
embedded in your memory.
