Keypad and Keybord Shortcuts

You can quickly accomplish many tasks in Stop Motion Studio using keyboard shortcuts. Stop Motion Studio supports a wide range of external keypads. You can connect the keypad using a USB or bluetooth connection. Having an external keypad allows you to move closer to the scene and still be able to control Stop Motion Studio. Use the Keypad window as a guide to familar yourself with the keypad shortcuts. You can open it from the Window menu.
