Subtitles of the Movie

In this movie we will discuss Shake hot keys and keyboard shortcuts. To pan within our Shake windows, and here I refer to our viewer and our Node View, you want to hold down the Option key and drag with the mouse or hold down the middle mouse button and drag with the mouse. Option, dragging with the mouse, or middle mouse button and dragging with the mouse. This is the same as using the hand tool if you're familiar with Photoshop, so again, that's panning holding down Option and dragging or holding down middle mouse button and dragging. To zoom your view, you can do one of three things. You can Command Option drag to zoom in and out, you can Control middle mouse button drag to zoom in and out, and the third way is the plus and minus buttons on the keyboard. Based on where your mouse is, that zooms in and out using the mouse position as the center. So my mouse position is at her forehead, I hit plus, it zooms in using the mouse position as the center. If Shake is taking too long to process a frame and you want to stop the process, you can hit Escape on the keyboard. If you need to update the viewer because your update is not set to Always up here, for instance, if it's set to manual, the button you want to hit is letter U on the keyboard. U will update the viewer when this is set to manual. To create a floating window out of one of the tabs, and this is especially useful if you have a dual monitor setup, like if you've got this one monitor and you've got another one off to the side, you can do one of two things. You can Shift, middle mouse button drag, Shift, middle mouse button drag on any of the tabs. Closing it pops it back. Or you can hold down Shift and Option while clicking with the mouse on the tab you want to separate out. And this works on any of the tabs here; on your tool tabs or the tabs that are by your Node View. In my viewer, if I hover my mouse over the view and hit letter N on the keyboard it creates a new viewer. If you have your mouse hovered over any area of the Shake interface and you hit the Spacebar, it expands the view you're hovered over to fill the screen. At this point, you can close any new viewers that you have by clicking the X button on the right hand side. Hitting the Spacebar again shows the entire interface once more. Hitting F on the keyboard takes my image and increases its visible zoom to fill the frame. If I hold down Control and type F, it fits the window to the frame. It takes my viewer and shrinks or expands it to the size of my frame. Hitting the Home key on my keyboard resets my view to 100%. To view my channels in my viewer I can hit the keyboard key that corresponds to the first letter of the channel name. R for red, G for green, B for blue, C for color, and A for alpha. C for color. In the Parameters Tab there are a number of hot keys that help set our parameters. I'm loading up the parameters for keylight so that we can play with our parameters there. In any of the number input areas, if I hold down the Control key and drag, it gives me these tiny little virtual sliders and this allows me to increase or decrease my value by thousandths. By hovering my mouse under one of the number input areas that doesn't have a slider, and not hitting anything, it allows me to increase or decrease my value in values of one tenth. If I hover my mouse over any of the number input areas, I can increase or decrease my values in larger increments using the following hot keys. Holding down Shift and pressing the right arrow key increases my value by 10 at a time. Shift and left arrow decreases it by 10 at a time. And this is with the mouse hovered over any one of these input areas and holding Shift and right and left arrow. By holding the Control key down and pressing the right arrow on the keyboard, I can increase my number value in increments of one, and Control and left arrow decreases by a value of one. Holding down Option and pressing right arrow increases my value by one tenth, left arrow decreases by one tenth. To navigate in time, you can use the arrows on the keyboard without anything else. Right arrow moves forward one frame, left arrow moves back one frame. Up arrow will take you to the next key frame, while the down arrow will take you to the previous key frame.
