FCP keyboard shortcuts in PremPro

Hey all
I remember in CS6 you could assign the keyboard shortcuts and workspace to FCP, is this still possible in CC14?

Several keyboard shortcuts no longer works

I went from an iBook G4 with MacOS 10.3.9 and Final Cut Express 2.something.
I now use a curent MacBook Pro with macOS 10.6.2, Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and all the latest updates and patches.
Several keyboard shortcuts that should be there are not working. The Mark IN "i", the Clear In and Out, and maybe others as well are not responding, I have to go in the menu with the mouse which is a pain and a waste of time!
Other keyboard shortcuts are working, like the space bar, the arrow keys, the Snapping control "n" and the Mark Out "o". Go figure!
Anyone experienced this?

To my knowledge Leopard has (or had ?) a bug that prevents FCE and FCP keyboard shortcuts to work correctly with non-US keyboards. Since I still run 10.5.x I cannot say if this is a problem with Snow Leopard, but in my experience some version of 10.5.x fixed it for Italian keyboards.
In any case the following workaround worked with me, when I had this problem.
You might try it and see if it works with you too:
- Open the International panel of System Preferences
- click the Language tab
- drag "English" to the top of the list (on top of the current language)
- drag back the current language to the top of the list
- close System Preferences
- (close if necessary and) open FCE or FCP: shortcuts should be fixed.
This seems to work till the next system startup; then you have to repeat this procedure...

Looking for these keyboard shortcuts in FCP X

Looked through the FCP X keyboard shortcut list and looks like I must have missed it, but can anyone tell me:
What's the keyboard shortcut for:
[1] advancing forward or back in the timeline by the second rather than every 10 frames?
[2] Rippling forward/back? Keyboard shortcut? Can't find this anywhere! Do I really have to use the mouse for editing and trimming forward / back?
When I click "Option+[" to trim forward, my whole timeline window moves more and more to the right, why????
Not being able to find these keyboard shortcuts, causes my editing to take twice as long now.
Looks like nearly every single keyboard shortcut is different in FCP X as opposed to FCP7. This is maddening, but I'm determined to learn it.

Hi
Configure Track Header is there (provided you have Advanced Tools turned on in the Preferences):
Or Control click:
Within the Track Header options there is an "On/Off" button which should do what you want:

FCP Studio 7 keyboard shortcut problems

I have had to re-load my FCP7 Studio after a hard drive failure, it's now running under OSX 10.8.5 since the rebuild of the iMac's system etc……However I now find some strange things going on with some keyboard shortcuts and time line actions and I am wondering if this is due to the newer OS or something else.
The first thing is that clips, video and sound tracks imported to the timeline as complete clips, do not lock together despite showing that they are "locked", i.e. underlined clip ID. To trim them I have to drag the tracks individually….that's odd and awkward.
Another thing is that the "lock / unlock all tracks" keyboard commands, shift F4 and shift F5 do not work on the sound video tracks together, and in fact shift F4 just brings up Dashboard, that's really annoying…Dashboard is something I'd love to kill anyway, but that's another story.
So any clues here, or is this just a result of upgrading the OS to Mountain Lion?
Thanks in advance……..PM

OK!
problem SOLVED!!!
I've tried everything to fix this, partitioning the drive, installing previous OS on 2nd partition, re-installing FCP7 at least a couple of time. Dumped FCP Preferences, changed settings in the OS and FCP to no avail this past week or so. Been driving me nuts….
Then borrowed another keyboard from a friend, viola problem sorted!!
It was the keyboard all along, who would have guessed that?
The errant keyboard appears to work just fine, all keys work, no dead ones……but some now don't play nicely with others especially double tap ones, hence the keyboard commands in FCP got messed up and redirected to other functions. This is a first time for me, but a relief to be back to normal. Ordered a new keyboard yesterday.
Anyway, thanks for the help along the way….Peter

How to use French keyboard with FCP English Shortcut

Hi,
I have a new MAC PRO and im using FCP, the shortcut wont work
when my keyboard is French keyboard. I always need to change it back to english
to be able to use them. Since im always writing in french, it became a pain to switch it 20-30 times per days
On my last mac I didnt have that problem, I tried looking for some setting in FCP
but I can't find any.
Does anybody know how to make this work ?
Thanks !

Remapping is where you set keys on your keyboard to perform specific functions that aren't otherwise set to keys. Once you change your keyboard to French, you lose some of the pre-mapping capabilities. Go into Tools/Keyboard Viewer, and you can map from there. If it's confusing, look it up in the manual. It's clearly outlined for you.
Bonne chance!

Is there a list of keyboard shortcuts somewhere, for FCP?

Sorry to ask such as basic question but I'm wondering if there is a list of all the default preassigned keyboard shortcuts for FCP somewhere?? I've spent a considerable amount of time looking for such a comprehensive list to no avail...must be simply missing something, thanks

Yup. Best $11 you can spend:

What is the keyboard Shortcut to go to the last frame or end of a clip?

I used to have this shortcut set up, but I reformatted my mac and now I can't find it anywhere. I've searched the forums and can't find it, and yes, I looked at the help and looked at the manual. I've also went to Tools->Keyboard Layout and went through every keyboard shortcut listed. It is probably staring me right in the face!
The closest I can find is the "goto next edit".
I do a lot of photo montages and had this shortcut set up so I could double clip the photo on the timeline, set my first keyframes and then shortcut to the end of the photo and set my last keyframes so I can do my "Ken Burns" effects. I actually had set a macro on my mouse to simulate the keyboard shortcut.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks

yes it is Michael, but our poster gave particular criteria where he loads a timeline instance of a clip in to the viewer and then wants to navigate to the first and last frame in the timeline instance of that clip ... which is in effect the in and the out point, hence Shift I and Shift O

Keyboard shortcuts in application don't work

Wondering if any one can help me with this one.
I'm finding that only some of the keyboard shortcuts in Final Cut Pro are working for me. For example "Command/F12" is supposed to give me full-screen view. Instead "F12" continues to function as a sound volume increase button. I've taken this problem to the FCP forum but the best someone there could say was that there seems to be a conflict between my OS and FCP. I've gone to "Systems Preferences/keyboard" and the most I could do there was make sure that Final Cut was a listed application. I see no "yellow triangles" there.
I hope someone can clue me in here. If not my mouse is going to get exhausted flying all over the FC page.
Thanks.
john

Thanks.
"fn+f12" on it's own didn't help so I went to "System Preference/keyboard" and checked the "use F keys as standard" box as you suggested. Now when I hit "command+F12" (not "commandfnf12) I get the proper FCP response.
Hope this will also have fixed the other FCP shortcuts that were not working.

Keyboard Shortcut for moving a clip in timeline to a higher or lower track?

Hi all,
Sure seems like this should exist but I cannot find it.
I want to be able to select clips in the timeline and click a keyboard shortcut to have the clip jump straight up to the next track above.
Anyone know if this is possible?
I have six hours of edited material and literally thousands of B-camera clips to move.... a keyboard shortcut would really help in this situation.
Thanks,
Matt

In the PDF files of the FCP user manual, and in the Quick Reference (Keyboard Shortcuts) menu item from within FCP.
Option-↑ (that's Option & the Up Arrow) This works provided that there are no clips in the track space directly above the clips that you're looking to move. (if there are clips, it will fail; you'd need to select those clips as well for it to work. That or move those clips first.)< </div>
So, we all have to ask, "Why isn't this in the manuals? And, we might as well ask, how many other undocumented features are there in FCP? "

Need the keyboard shortcut

Forum
This is driving us a bit nuts. Is there a keyboard shortcut to finding a clip that is in the timeline, in the bin it resides in? Working with a lot of bins, it gets a bit tedious and time consuming opening each bin one by one and looking for the clip name. This is an often used little item when editing on an Avid and I'm hoping FCP has the same thing.
Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about.
Avid Editor now an FCP convert.

Great, I'll give it a shot.
Thank you.

Zoom In Keyboard shortcut not working

Hi Guys,
I'm in Japan, using a US keyboard mac in English.
In FCP X, newest trial version, 10.1.1., I cannot get the keyboard shortcut to zoom in to work.
Zooming out, (command plus minus) does work. But not command&plus sign. I get a blip sound.
Any ideas? It's driving me nuts. I would appriciate any comments.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Chris

Sometimes, Keyboard issues can be solved by ensuring keyboard is set to the standard defaults ...
FinalCutPro>Commands>Customise and select default.
At least you can see how the keys are mapped.

Some keyboard shortcuts are not working

I have found a few keyboard shortcuts that don't work, no matter what you set the shortcut to. I only found two, and they are "Show Desktop", and "Show Launchpad". I have set them to many different combinations, none of which seem to work. every once in a while, it will work, but after my computer goes to sleep, it doesn't work again. It only works some of the times after I restart or shutdown. When I open the shortcut tab under the keyboard settings menu, it always defaults to the screenshots tab, and I don't know if this is a bug or not.

there may be a conflict with some system-level shortcuts, for instance the shortcuts in the System Prefs for Dashboard and Expose default to F9, F10, F11, which will supersede the default FCP shortcuts for insert, overwrite, and replace edits.
Check your keyboard layouts in FCP - if the shortcuts are assigned, then check those two System Prefs panes (keyboard, Dashboard & Expose) for system-level shortcuts that might be conflicting.

Keyboard shortcuts jump to keyframes and..

I like keyboard shortcuts and I can't figure out if there is one to do this. Is there a way to jump the playhead from key frame to key frame? I like to go back and tweak previous key frames and I find it hard to get back to the exact spot without F6ing to the editor. Even then you have to click on the time line and use arrow keys to get on the exact frame. Also is there a way to jump to the end or beginning of an objects clip with keys, similar to FCP?

you could enter the exact time-code you want to go to by selecting the mini timeline, then just typing in the time code, or to move exact frame forward and backward, -(number of frames) or +(number of frames) and hitting enter... shift+i to go to the beginning of the layer and shift+o for the opposite.

Extra keypad to make keyboard shortcuts easier? Shuttle Pro v.2?

Hi all,
I like the white keyboard that came with my Mac Pro except for the fact the F keys are all squished together. I like how PC keyboards group the F keys in groups of 4. Even with the F keys grouped are not that easy for me to use. I also have a Logitech Internet Navigator keyboard that has media keys along the top. I am visually impaired so I do touch typing and don't look at the keyboard. In fact, I keep the keyboard tray recessed under the desk while I am typing. I am currently using the Mac Pro keyboard with my Mac Pro. I haven't tried using the Logitech keyboard with the Mac Pro.
I'm trying to make it easier to access shortcut keys. I don't really like redefining keyboard keystrokes because I don't know if I am overriding an existing keyboard shutcut. So, a better keyboard shortcut manager would be nice that showed me applications use which shortcut keys. Does such software exist for the mac? Could such programs learn the shortcuts used by newly installed applications?
Also, I think it would be handy to have an external keypad that I can assign shortcuts to. I would want some shortcuts to be global and some to be local to certain apps. Also, I want to be able to use the main keyboard's modifier keys. At least one jog wheel would be nice too. The Shuttle Pro V.2 looks like a possibility but I can find very many articles about it for general use. Most of the articles refer to it being used with pro apps. Anyone care to share their experience with this?
BTW, I use a Logitech TrackMan Marble+ trackball instead of the Mighty Mouse.
I'd appreciate any other suggestions such as keyboards or extra keypads.
Thanks!
Steven

I would expect one to be able to add a shortcut to this specific command in FCP X's command editor, but like you I can't seem to find it there.
I can offer two suggestions:
1) If you use Save Current Frame more than any other export option, you can easily attach to it the default Cmd-E.
Open Preferences->Destinations, control-click on "Save Current Frame" in the left pane and choose "make default".
2) You can use the system keyboard shortcuts to assign an appropriate shortcut to "Save Current Frame...".
Open System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts. Click on "App Shortcuts", then click the "+" button to add a new one. Select Final Cut Pro as the application, enter the text of the menu command *exactly* - "Save Current Frame..." without the quotes - then click the box for the shortcut and enter the desired one. I tested this with Cmd-Control-Option-Shift S and it worked immediately (not even needed to quit FCP X).

Is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut for Add Audio Keyframe?

I would like to assign a keyboard shortcut to be able to create an audio keyframe at the playhead. There doesn't seem to be an option in the Keyboard shortcuts menu.\
This feature allows the editor to keyframe audio and mix without having to use the mouse. Also, this feature was available in FCP 7.

Still dont know how one would set parameters but...
I would suggest a "better" way to set some audio keyframes is to do a live realtime mix from the audio mixer in Write Mode.
Then adjust KFs or overwrite them using mouse or MIxer facilties.
I have never quite understood how one can mix using KFs on a static audio track!
Its an ear/listening thing..IMHO ( well thats how the pros do it anyway)
