Customizing Window Layouts
If none of the existing layouts meet your needs, you can create up to two layouts that
are available in the Arrange menu as Custom Layout 1 and Custom Layout 2.
To create a custom layout:
1 Choose Apple > System Preferences, click Displays, then set the desired resolution of
your computer monitor.
The resolution you choose will become the minimum resolution for that particular
window layout.
2 In Final Cut Express, arrange any combination of the four main windows, custom Tool
Bench windows with tool tabs, the Tool palette, and audio meters as you want them.
3 Hold down the Option key and choose Window > Arrange, then choose one of the Set
Custom Layout options.
To use a custom layout:
m Choose Window > Arrange, then choose Custom Layout 1 or Custom Layout 2.
Working with Shortcut Buttons and Button Bars
Shortcut buttons can be created and placed at the top of the main windows in
Final Cut Express—the Browser, Viewer, Canvas, Timeline, and any Tool Bench windows.
You can then click any of these shortcut buttons in this “button bar” to perform
commands, instead of entering the key combination or using menus.
Some windows, such as the Timeline and Tool Bench, include some buttons in their
button bar by default. You can delete these buttons, if you like (see “
Removing Shortcut
Buttons ” on page 143).
