# Keyrails FAQ

> Frequently asked questions about Keyrails.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is Keyrails like holding shift in After Effects?">
    Basically, yes - but honestly it's even better. Keyrails snaps your cursor to the keyframe handle the moment you trigger the hotkey, so controlling ease-in / ease-out curves in Premiere becomes dramatically easier than the After Effects equivalent.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Keyrails work on Mac and Windows?">
    Yes, Keyrails works on macOS and Windows. Your purchase includes two license activations - use them on two different computers, or one Mac and one Windows machine. Keyrails uses Screen Recording permission only to detect keyframe handles in Premiere; it doesn't record or store any screen or audio data.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need After Effects to use Keyrails?">
    No. Keyrails works directly inside Premiere and improves control of the Premiere graph editor. Many editors jump to After Effects because easing curves are easier to control there - Keyrails makes Premiere keyframe editing just as smooth, without ever leaving Premiere.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What versions of Premiere does Keyrails support?">
    Keyrails operates at the OS level, so it doesn't matter which version of Premiere you have. The only requirements are Windows 10 and above, or macOS 14 Sonoma and above.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Keyrails need permissions access?">
    On both Mac and Windows you'll first confirm that you trust the download. On Windows there are no further requirements. On Mac, Keyrails needs Screen Recording (to scan for the keyframe handle) and Accessibility (to trigger when you press the hotkey).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What hotkeys can I use?">
    Pretty much anything. Our favorite on Mac is just ⌘. Just be aware that if you pick a key you use often in other software, it may trigger the snapping effect when you don't expect it.
