Put a keyboard combination on screen one key at a time and state exactly what the shortcut does.
Shortcut Keys is designed for software tutorials, editing tips and productivity clips. Enter the keys in the order they are pressed, adapt Control or Command to the target platform and use the final line for the resulting action. Time it to the actual screen recording so viewers can connect the combination with the change.
Type each key the way it is printed on the keyboard, so Ctrl rather than Control and Shift rather than an arrow glyph. On a Mac tutorial swap the first key for Cmd. The last line should name the result in two or three words, such as Split clip or Duplicate layer, because a long sentence there arrives after the keys have already faded.
Shortcut Keys is built at 640 × 360, a 16:9 landscape frame, the shape of a YouTube video, a stream layout and most editing timelines, and runs 3 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 0.9 seconds, holds for 1.1 and clears in 1.0, so cue it a beat before the moment it labels. Export it as an MP4 for a timeline or a feed, a GIF where video will not embed, or a MOV with an alpha channel to lay it over footage with nothing behind it. Renders go up to 4K, and the free plan exports at 720p with a watermark.
Leave the third key field empty. The row closes up so two keys sit centred rather than leaving a gap where the third would have been, and the action line still lands underneath.
Not in one pass. Export it twice, once with Cmd and once with Ctrl, and cut them back to back or pick the platform most of your audience uses. Two exports take a minute.
