View Menu¶
| Item | Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Input Panel | Ctrl+1 |
Shows/hides the Input Panel (clip bin). |
| Output Panel | Ctrl+2 |
Shows/hides the Output Panel (export settings — destination, format, Original mode — and rendering itself, with live progress/Cancel in its own bottom bar). |
| Effects Panel | Ctrl+3 |
Shows/hides the Effects Panel. |
| Layer Stack | Ctrl+6 |
Shows/hides the Layer Stack panel. |
| Color Panel | Ctrl+7 |
Shows/hides the Colour Panel (colour correction; also hosts the Waveform/Vectorscope scope toggle). |
| Main Viewer | Ctrl+8 |
Shows/hides the Main Viewer. The Main viewer can be moved between dock areas but not pulled out into a floating window (see New Floating Viewer below for that). |
| Show Effects in Viewer | Ctrl+Shift+E |
Toggles whether the Viewer previews effects live, or bypasses them to show the graded-but-uneffected image. Checkable — also mirrored as a button in the viewer bar. |
| New Floating Viewer | Ctrl+Shift+V |
Spawns an additional Viewer panel as a separate floating window — the way to get more than one viewer on screen at once. Each is independent (its own Source / Active Layer / Final Output mode). |
| Standard Layout | Ctrl+Alt+1 |
Resets the whole window to the app's built-in safe/default arrangement. Use this if panels get dragged into an unusable state. This layout is baked into the app itself — it can't be overwritten by a user session. |
| Compact Layout | Ctrl+Alt+2 |
Strips the window down to Input, Viewer, Output, and the Colour Panel — hides Layer Stack, Effects, Inspector, Log, Info, and Metadata. For a focused grading pass with fewer panels on screen. Doesn't resize/re-dock anything, just changes what's visible. |
| Dual Monitor | Ctrl+Alt+3 |
Opens a floating Viewer and, if a second display is connected, places it full-screen on whichever screen isn't hosting the main window — useful for giving a client or DIT a clean feed to watch. With only one display connected, it opens as a normal floating viewer instead. |
| Conversion Layout | Ctrl+Alt+4 |
A minimal Input | Viewer | Output arrangement for mass-converting clips — fewer panels than even Compact Layout, for pure format/resolution conformance passes without grading tools in the way. |
| Toolbar Icon Size | — | Submenu with three mutually-exclusive options — Small, Medium, Large. Resizes every icon in the top toolbar shelf immediately; the choice is remembered across restarts. |
| Log Panel | Ctrl+9 |
Shows/hides the Log Panel (app diagnostics/history). Hidden by default. |
| Info Panel | Ctrl+Alt+0 |
Shows/hides the Info Panel (per-clip INPUT/OUTPUT metadata side-by-side). Hidden by default. |
| Metadata Panel | Ctrl+Alt+M |
Shows/hides the Metadata Panel (technical details plus editable shot/scene and AI-source fields for the selected clip). Hidden by default. |
| Inspector Panel | Ctrl+Alt+X |
Shows/hides the Inspector (live pixel colour readout). Visible by default; also hidden automatically by Compact Layout. |
Note
Render Queue, Vectorscope, and Curve Editor no longer have their
own View menu toggles — all three were retired as standalone
panels 2026-08-15/17. Render Queue folded into Output
Panel; Vectorscope folded into the
Colour Panel above; Curve Editor folded into the Layer
Stack as a layer type. The Color Match
Panel toggle (Ctrl+Alt+C) lives in the Colour menu,
not here.
