External Monitoring
Frame offset for synchronizing an external monitor and the computer display
Final Cut Pro allows you to compensate for the delay between your computer display
and external video and audio outputs. Frame offset is active only when your sequence
real-time effects are handled by Final Cut Pro. For information about the settings in the
Effects Handling tab of the Sequence Settings window, see Volume I, Chapter 6,
“Viewing and Setting Preferences,” in the Final Cut Pro 4 User’s Manual. For more
information about monitoring video externally, see “
Support Features
Create support profile command has been added to the Help menu
There are certain support situations in which AppleCare may require information about
both your computer and how this particular application is configured. Choosing
Help > Create Support Profile creates a file that contains the necessary information and
can be emailed to AppleCare. You would not normally use this feature unless directed
to by an AppleCare representative.
