How do I remove the Maxon shortcuts from After Effects?

Hi there. Apparently, the latest version of After Effects includes shortcuts to a bunch of Maxon stuff that I don't care about, and apparently there's no way to change that. That can't be right, can it? Specifically, I used to be able to press Alt+Ctrl+Space to bring up Video Copilot's FX Console -- now that's hijacked bu Maxon  Studio. I don't care about Maxon Studio, but when I go into modify keyboard shortcuts, it seems I can't remove anything associated with Maxon. Am I missing something?! Thank you!

The custom keyboard shortcut can be changed in the FX Console settings as of version 1.0.1.

 

The video at the bottom of the product page shows how to do it.

    Hey thanks, that's good to know, but it seems I need to be able to load the FX Console before I can attempt to change the keyboard shortcut, and I can't do that because Maxon Studio steals the input before FX Console ever comes up. Any idea how to create a "preferences" file (or whatever) to at least be able to get into the settings? There is no menu shortcut for anything VideoCopilot (I just re-installed it  yesterday), so I'm not sure where to hunt for things. Thanks again!

    Edit (Can you edit posts? I'm bad with computers): Somehow, both the FX Console AND Maxon Studio came up, and I was able to change the shortcut. Not sure why Adobe seems to have baked in the shortcut for all the Maxon stuff without making it editable, but glad there's at least this workaround. Thanks again!
