Mapping Menu Commands
You can map menu commands displayed in the pull-down menus on the Avid application menu bar directly to buttons on the Tool palette or to the Keyboard palette. This is especially useful if you frequently use the keyboard or the Tool palette during editing. In some cases, you can avoid using the menus altogether.

Before you can map some commands, you must first establish the condition
that enables the command. For example, before you can map the Render
In/Out command from the Clip menu, you must first place IN and OUT
points in the Timeline so that the menu command appears.
|
To map menu commands:
| 1. | |
Open a window that has user-selectable buttons by doing one of the
following:
|
| |
Tear off the Tool palette by clicking the Fast Menu button on the
Source monitor or a Source pop-up or Composer monitor and
dragging the palette.
|
|
| |
Double-click Keyboard in the Settings scroll list in the Project
Window to open the Keyboard palette.
|
| 2. | |
Select Tools > Command Palette.
|
The Command Palette window opens.
| 3. | |
Select Menu to Button Reassignment.
|
| 4. | |
Click a target button on the Keyboard palette or the Tool palette.
|
The pointer changes to a small white menu.
| 5. | |
Select the menu command you want to map to the target button.
|
For example, select Tools > Title tool.
The initials for the menu command appear on the target button.
