Thread: Enabling And Using Keyboard Shortcuts For ffdshow Effects

Effects can enabled on the fly while playing videos using ffdshow. The shortcuts are assigned, but not enabled by default. To enable the shortcuts, start the ffdshow configuration window. Click on Keys & remote. Click the Keyboard control checkbox; you'll see all the effects and features that can be enabled through shortcuts. You can double-click on anyone of the effects to change the shortcut. Hold down [ Ctr 1] , [ Alt] , and [ Shi ft] along with the key for the effect to toggle it. This feature can be especially useful in cases when you want your processing settings that you earlier set up to be enabled instantly.

If you want to see the status of all the effects currently in use, you can enable the OSD feature in ffdshow. Click the OSD checkbox. By default, some other information will be displayed. Disable these details by un-<:hecking the boxes and clicking OK. Now, every time you enable an effect, a notification will appear on the screen for a short duration. Settings for the font used on the OSD can be changed from the Font menu.
