    Shortcuts are really cool thing but it’s also required to be accurate with them. Making many shortcuts moves you to the point when you need to remember a lot of shortcuts. Sometimes it overloads your brain a lot. During the periods when I was heavily working in After Effects, I made about a hundred shortcuts to speed up my workflow. It was really cool, I was superfast, but the point is that when I shared them with my team, they didn’t actually find them useful and they worked like they used to. So shortcuts are a lot about your reflections on your own working process. Which tools do you use more often, is it worth of occupying a little bit more of your memory space, etc. By the way, when I made a break in using After Effects, I really hardly could remember which shortcut is for what. So the overall working process became remarkably slower.

      And thanks a lot. The lecture was paticularly helpful. This kind of information is not that easy to find.
