Keyboard shortcuts and Multi-Touch gestures overview
Final Cut Pro provides several ways to increase your efficiency while you put together
your project:
•
Standard keyboard shortcuts: Many common tasks, such as opening a specific window or
adding a clip from the Event Browser to the Timeline, can be accomplished very quickly by
pressing one or more keys. See
Keyboard shortcuts on page 438.
•
Multi-Touch gestures: If you have a Multi-Touch trackpad or mouse, you can take advantage of
Multi-Touch gestures to quickly perform many tasks while creating your project. See
Multi-
Touch gestures on page 452.
•
Custom keyboard shortcuts: You can add to the standard keyboard shortcuts by creating your
own custom keyboard shortcuts for features that you use frequently, such as Color Board
controls. Or if you’re more familiar with keyboard shortcuts from another application, you can
use the Command Editor to substitute those keyboard shortcuts in place of the default set in
Final Cut Pro. See
View keyboard shortcuts in the Command Editor on page 452.
