    Tip of the Day!

    Final Cut Pro – Displaying Audio or Video Clip Names

    This new feature is buried to the point of invisibility. Learn where Apple hid it.

    Show Names

    Starting with Final Cut Pro 6.0.2, you can now turn off the display of audio or video clip names in the timeline. This can be useful when you are trying to set keyframes in the timeline.

    The only problem is that this toggle is darn near impossible to find. Here’s where they hid it:

    At the bottom of the timeline, just to the right of the small bar chart, is a tiny right-pointing arrow. Click it and check, or uncheck, the clip names you want to hide.

    They can be turned back on by repeating this same process.

    Cool.

    Tip of the Day!

    Final Cut Pro – Saving Filter Settings

    This is a great shortcut that can save a ton of time.

    Here’s a great shortcut for saving a filter setting:

    After you customize a filter exactly to your liking, you can always make a Favorite filter out of it. However, Favorites are deleted when you trash Final Cut Pro’s preferences. Sigh… not a good thing.

    Instead, drag the filter name from the Filter tab in the Viewer and drop it into the project window in the Browser. If you want, you can create a bin called “Saved Filter Settings”.

    While the filter won’t appear in your favorites menu, you can apply it to any clip by simply dragging it from the Browser onto a clip. Best of all, these filters are untouched when you trash preferences.
