-Contour Shuttle has no \texttt{Alt/h}. Nevertheless, its help page can be requested by simultaneously pressing both \texttt{Alt} keys (left and right) on the keyboard followed by pressing any button on the Contour Shuttle. Here, pressing both Alt keys is necessary due to the way X11 tracks the status of modifiers. To cancel this mode, press any single modifier key (\texttt{Alt, \texttt{Ctrl}} or Shift) once. Note that the manual Shuttle Configuration will be the default one, rather than the one that you may have redefined.

\item If the rate at which frames are captured during Recording is much lower than the framerate of the source, the video will accumulate in the recording buffers over time and the audio and video will become out of sync. Decrease the number of frames to buffer in the device in \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow $ Preferences, Recording} tab so that the excess frames are dropped instead of buffered.
\item If loading files locks up, this might be because \CGG{} is building picons/vicons for the Resources window. If you load a large number of images it needs to decompress every single image to build a picon/vicon. Go into \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Preferences, Appearance} tab and disable \textit{Use thumbnails in resource window} to skip this process. Keep in mind though, that it only has to create these thumbnails the first time a new piece of media is loaded or the values are changed.
+ \item After a crash, look on the window where you started running \CGG{} to see if there is a line towards the end of the output that reads something like a bunch of numbers followed by the word "AssetVIconThread". Frequently this indicates that some system resouce has been exhaused in creating/running the Vicon images in the Resources window. You can disable \textit{Use thumbnails in resource window} in Settings/Preferences, Appearace tab to see if this resolves the crashing. In most cases when this is the cause, it will be the second to last line shown in the window.
+In addition, you might want to \textit{Delete clip thumbnails} in the Interface
+tab section of Settings/Preferences.
\item For an older computer with less CPU power, in \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Preferences, Appearance} tab, be sure that \textit{Autocolor assets }is disabled; set \textit{View thumbnail size} \& \textit{Vicon quality}\& \textit{Vicon color mode} to lower values or switch to \textit{No Play} instead of \textit{Full Play} in the Resources window (this is to the right of the word \textit{Visibility} in the left hand side of that window). You will then have more CPU and more memory available to do actual editing.
