I know a lot of folks use it but probably not to its fullest (that’s me). Here’s a great tutorial online if you’re interested.

I keep asking chat gpt what are 50 concrete examples of usage in multimedia stations…

I even bought Version 8 - but never used it

I’m a quick / smart keys user in logic and Final Cut Pro

Basically for me - for me - it would be wrapping what I already do and know in new and different key combinations

I will watch the video though - thanx - I keep looking at it and Mac power users just did a show on it…

@lapan Wow, this mega-tutorial seems great. I’ll definitely use. It seems he has some other tutorials about KM. Does this one simply combine all the previous ones or is it different in some way from his previous videos on KM?

I haven’t watched it but saw it mentioned in a few forums about how complete it was - and that it was 6 hours.

Had it playing in the background while working - didn’t get far… he spent a bit of time setting permissions and other settings in the app… that’s as far as I got 🙂 lol 😂

But it looks very thorough and complete - well organized….

Well - just bought it 🙂

Going to set up and dive in….

Some of the preset macros are very good - helpful right away….
