Why this directory exists

Media creation apps are among the strongest candidates for shortcut pages. Timelines, layers, export, playback, and transport actions all reward muscle memory.

How to read the pages

  • Each app page shows the MacKeys shortcut beside the native Windows version.
  • Gain labels are estimated from repetition, ergonomic reach, and translation cost.
  • Workflow sections keep the page browsable instead of turning into one long table.
