Final Cut Pro – The Secrets of the Right-Pointing Arrow

update

Its not like its obvious or anything, but a great deal of the look of the Timeline is controlled from a itty-bitty, teeny-tiny, right-pointing arrow at the bottom of the Timeline.

Just to the right of the four column track height button.

Click the arrow and look at all the different choices you have. Each of these is a toggle. Select, or deselect, each one and watch what happens.

We will co-host our December PUG meeting at the 2010 Government Video Expo’s (GVExpo) expanded DigitalMedia DC conference with Future Media Concepts (FMC).

Details will be listed under our UPCOMING EVENTS section of the site. Please plan to support your User Group events and encourage our sponsors to come back each and every year!

Lineup includes:

• Larry Jordan
• AJA

and more ..

Consider this an early notification so you can mark your calendar now for 1 December at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington D.C.

See you all there!

President, DCFCPUG

Final Cut Pro – A REALLY Faster Way to Edit

TIp Jar

You may know that fastest way to edit a clip from the Viewer to the Timeline using the keyboard is to press F10.

What you may not know is that pressing Shift+F10 not only edits the clip to the Timeline, but adds the default video and audio transition to the start of the clip.

This one keyboard shortcut can save you up to seven mouse clicks alone!
