Step-by-Step Guide: Install & Set Up Keyrails (Mac)
Settings:
Setting a hotkey shortcut
- Click on “Record shortcut” and then enter your desired keyboard hotkey shortcut to enable Keyrails. See below notes on creating a hotkey shortcut.
- You need to set a hotkey shortcut that doesn’t interfere with other MacOS or Adobe Premiere operations. I recommend using command (⌘). I recommend this because if the keyframe handle moves slightly up or down, you can quickly undo the drag by pressing command (⌘) + z and then use command (⌘) + x again to redo it. But you can also use a shortcut like option (⌥) + x.
Quitting Keyrails
- If you’d like to quit Keyrails for any reason, simply click the icon in the top menu bar and select ‘Quit Keyrails’
Other Recommendations
- I would highly recommend making Keyrails an app that opens at login. You can do this by going to settings, searching for “Login Items & Extensions” and then under “Open at Login” you can click the “+” icon to add Keyrails as an app that will automatically open every time you log in to your Mac.

Step-by-Step Guide: Install & Set Up Keyrails (Windows)
Settings:
Setting a hotkey shortcut
- You need to set a hotkey shortcut that doesn’t interfere with Windows or Adobe Premiere operations. For example, you can use the ‘ctrl’ key or a combination of keys like ‘ctrl + alt + z’ You can also use numpad keys if you’d like.
Quitting Keyrails
- If you’d like to quit Keyrails for any reason, simply click the ‘x’ icon or ‘Done’
Other Recommendations
- I would highly recommend making Keyrails a startup app, so that it automatically opens at login. Here is a great tutorial of how to do that. There should be a Keyrails folder located in your Program Files folder. C:\Program Files\Keyrails. It might be located somewhere else is you changed the install location when setting it up.
