This little-known feature can enhance efficiency
When reviewing video clips, holding down the Control key and dragging in the browser canvas on a desktop system will bring up the Pie Menu, giving quick access to commonly used tools right where you are on the canvas. Simply drag in the direction of the desired function and release.
Note: This function is currently unavailable on mobile devices.
Here is a quick video overview:
Using the Pie Menu
Here are the details about the tools in the Pie Menu.
The Ballpoint Pen
This icon will return to the most recently-used brush tool.
The Eraser
Selecting this will select the Eraser.
The Mute Control
This will toggle local audio muting.
The Laser Pointer
This will select the Laserpointer tool.
Toggle Comments and Items
This will hide or show the Shot Item List on the left and the Comments pane on the right. This is a quick way to maximize the size of the canvas area.
Toggle Tracing Paper
This will turn tracing paper on at the most recently used opacity level, or turn it off if it was already on. It behaves like pressing the T key.
Toggle Ghosting
This will turn ghosting (onionskinning) on with the most recently used settings, or turn it off if it was already on. It behaves like pressing the G key.
The Eyedropper Tool
After selecting this, the eyedropper function will be selected. After you click an area of the canvas to sample the color it will return to the most recently used brush. If the eyedropper tool is already selected when you select this icon, the eyedropper tool will go away without changing the color.
