Tips for Efficient Control Customization

Consider these tips when customizing your Panzoid controls:

• Ergonomics: Arrange frequently used commands in easily accessible key combinations to reduce strain during long editing sessions.
• Consistency: Try to maintain similar shortcuts to other software you use regularly to minimize confusion and learning curve.
• Grouping: Organize related functions with similar key patterns (e.g., all layer operations could use Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + a letter).
• Avoid Conflicts: Be mindful of system-wide shortcuts or browser hot keys to prevent conflicts.
• Document Changes: Keep a note of your custom shortcuts, especially if you use Panzoid on different devices.

Mastering the hot keys and customizing your controls in Panzoid can significantly enhance your productivity and creative flow. By internalizing these shortcuts and tailoring them to your workflow, you'll spend less time navigating menus and more time bringing your creative visions to life. Remember that becoming proficient with hot keys takes practice, so don't be discouraged if it feels awkward at first. With time, these controls will become second nature, allowing you to focus on what truly matters – your artistic expression through stunning intros and animations.
