Customizing the Interface
Final Cut Express allows you to customize the interface in several ways. You can
rearrange windows and move them to suit your needs and work style. You can also use
various window layouts provided by Final Cut Express. You can also position the Dock
in the Mac OS X interface so that it takes up less room or is hidden.
Moving and Resizing Windows
All open windows in Final Cut Express—the Browser, Viewer, Canvas, Timeline, and Tool
Bench—can be individually moved and resized to suit both your working style and the
task at hand, even across multiple monitors. When all windows are arranged together
on a single monitor, you can drag the border between any aligned group of adjacent
windows to quickly resize all the windows at the same time.
To resize windows in Final Cut Express:
m Drag the border in the desired direction to resize the appropriate windows.
The windows on either side of the border are resized accordingly.
Any border between two windows in Final Cut Express can be dragged. When borders
line up, such as the tops of the Browser and Timeline, they act as a single border—
resizing one window resizes the other as well. See “
Moving and Resizing
Final Cut Express Windows ” on page 137 for more information.
