    Final Cut Pro – A Faster Way To Find Effects


    Here’s a really fast way to tell if a clip has any effects on it.

    Finding Effects

    Ever want to know if a clip in the Timeline has effects on it?

    Press Option+T to toggle clip keyframes on. (It the button with green and blue stripes in the lower left corner of the Timeline.)

    Any clip with a green line under it has a filter applied. Any clip with a blue line under it has a motion effect applied. For example, in the illustration on the right, the first clip has a filter effect, the second has a motion effect and the third has both a filter and motion effect.
