Final Cut Pro X™ Support

Unlike Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro X includes no built-in support for control surfaces. However, the
MCS5 is quite useful with Final Cut Pro X because JLCooper has converted all of the Final Cut Pro X
keyboard shortcuts into MCS5 Built-In Commands. There are also several JLCooper-defined commands
that allow controlling Color Board functions.

In the keyset supplied by JLCooper, the display is assigned a built-in command which shows the name of
the currently selected clip plus the timeline timecode. The display can be temporarily switched to show
button labels by pressing Application Button A-8. A second press will return the display to the selected
clip and timecode.

The JLCooper Final Cut Pro X keyset has assigned Built-In Commands to many of the MCS5 controls,
but still leaves room for customization.
