    I just upgraded to PPro CC 10.3, then figured out how to get my keyboard shortcuts to show up in the dropdown menu. Now that I did, it's saying they are incompatible (see screenshot). This seems like a major bug! As much as I like upgrading, this makes it rough.

    Appreciate any help!

    It's indicating that you switched between mac and win at some point after making your Keyboard Shortcuts (KBS)? Did you? Which previous version of PrPro are you migrating you KBS from?

    Thank you for the quick response! Yes I switched to Mac about 2 weeks ago, and since then have been working in PrPro CC 2015 (the one previous to 10.3)...I had to make new keyboard shortcuts when I did that. So those are the ones I can't get back. 

    I'm customizing them again little by little (it's not that much change from default), but next time I upgrade I would like to avoid the time suck.

    In order to access your Premiere Pro CS6 keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CC do the following steps:

    For Windows:

    Copy your .kys file from

    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\6.0

    and paste to

    C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\7.0\Profile-[username]\Win

    Mac:

    Copy your .kys file from

    /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Premiere Pro/6.0

    and paste to

    /Users/[username]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/7.0/Profile-[username]/Mac

      There's no 'import' functionality as such.  You'd have to find the .kys file from CS6 and transfer it to the proper CC folder.

      Do note that the default shortcuts seem to have changed a bit from CS6, so it may be worthwhile to go through them and change them again by hand.

      On a Mac, the keyboard settings file is in the Library > Application Support > Adobe > Premiere Pro > 6.0. I put my CS6 keyboard shortcuts file in the new 7.0 folder but that didn't work. Where should the keyboard setting file go?

      I'm having the same problem. Tried putting the .kys file into the 7.0 folder, but it's not showing up inside CC. Looking forward to exploring new features, but would LOVE to not have to re-enter all my custom shortcuts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
