    Tip of the Day!

    Final Cut Pro – Reading Clip Markers


    Here’s a great way to read comments in clip markers

    I got this tip from Stephen Kanter.

    Here’s the problem: An editor puts markers on her clips with detailed notes. She then edits her clips and markers into a sequence. What’s the best way to read the comments in the clip markers?

    Here’s one way to do it:

    1. Select the entire sequence with Command -A
    2. Set the Playhead Sync to Open
    3. Use the jump to next/previous marker shortcuts (Shift+M / Option +M) to jump from marker to marker. The source clips will automatically open in the viewer (i.e. match frame is always “ON” in Open Sync mode) and you can read the overlays in the viewer as you step through the sequence markers.

    Very cool, indeed…
