How do you customize clip keyframe overlays?

I find the red color of the keyframes over audio tracks in the timeline very hard to see against the green of the clips. Is there a way to change the default color of the clip overlays for audio tracks in the timeline? THANKS!

I've never known there to be a way to do this .... but I agree with you that it IS hard to see. You may want to post your suggestion here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/finalcutpro.html
If enough people ask for a feature it may be included with a future upgrade.

How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP?

How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP? When I right click on the menu bar the "Customize..." option is there but it does absolutely nothing.
Which brings me to the rhetorical question as to why it was necessary to shuffle everything around, was it broken? Did it not work? Since 2006 I've moved my mouse pointer almost instinctively to the left side of the screen, now all of a sudden I have to go right, is there a point?
This is like supermarkets that as soon as you have figured out where everything is, they shuffle everything around and now you are stuck in mystery shopping. At least they have economic reasons. Meanwhile Firefox seems disposed to make itself look more like Chrome, but hey if I wanted Chrome I'd get it.

Nope... Thanks, but Safe Mode does not do the trick. Oh sure you can move the buttons around and rearrange things to your liking, unfortunately it does not stay that way once you get out of Safe Mode.
I guess if you use an XP machine you are doomed to use FF's interpretation of what it should look like, which is ass backwards from what it has been for the past FIVE YEARS!!! Why not? It seems XP users are now the Freddo's of computing.
Someone should go to you developer's homes move everything around, forks in the basement, beds in the bathroom, TV up in the attic with the mice, dining table outside on the porch, see how you like it.

How do you customize icloud?

all I have up there are five icons: mail, contacts, calendar, find my iphone & iwork. how do you supposedly create folders or sync your music with the cloud? there's not a clue anywhere. just got the latest ipod touch.

........people I know have been asking me what icloud is all about and I can't honestly provide them a simple explanation. I didn't sign up for the Musicmatch service either. it just seems to us the whole thing has not been articulated well.
You aren't on your own apparently, but once you grasp it, it will all fall into place.
Of the five icons on iCloud.com: Mail, Calendar, Contact and iWork data is synced between devices and stored in your iCloud account (This is data that is unique to you). Find my phone is simply a service for locating your registered equipment.
PhotoStream: Your last 1,000 photos are synced between devices and stored in your iCloud account (This is data that is unique to you - but doesn't count towards your storage).
iTunes in the cloud: This isn't unique data, Matt Schofield's new album is the same for me as it is for you, it only needs to be in one place and not everyone's storage space. Instead of keeping many GB's of music in your storage, there is a list of what you have purchased which can then be used to access the music itself from the single location (The iTunes Store)
Music Match: This iis basically an advanced version of the purchased list which also includes everything in your iTunes library and not just music you purchased from iTunes.

How do you snap a keyframe to another keyframe?

Hello everyone.
I've looked and looked but can't find a decent way to do this.
Say you've made a whole bunch of keyframes and you are viewing them in the Effect Controls window.
You have keyframes in multiple fields, e.g. speed, start point, end point, detail, branching. (these are fields in the Lightning effect used as an example)
Now, what I want to do is be able to align these keyframes, so that they occur on the same frame.
I realise it's better to set the keyframes out in the right place at the start, but that doesn't always happen when editing.
Is there a way to get a keyframe to snap to another keyframe, or the timeline current frame slider thing?
Also, is there any way to see what frame/time a keyframe is occuring at? The only way I've found to be able to do that is to hold shift to snap the timeline current frame slider to the keyframe to see the frame number etc.
Which means if you are trying to align keyframes you have to shift drag the slider between the keyframes to check the frame numbers to get them the same. Not ideal. You should be able to view the time/frame number, and just type in a new one if you want.
Any suggestions? Maybe I'm going about it all the wrong way, I'm just kinda used to Flash and 3dsMax keyframing which appears to have a lot more control.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Colin, That method will do just fine. cheers.
I can't believe I didn't even try the old cut and paste approach. :)
It is a little bit of a scary method as you could delete keyframe, but I suppose with the undo and history, it should be safe enough, assuming it doesn't crash mid-process.
I am presuming that Premiere doesn't save the history and undo's when you save a project or it auto saves.
I'm a big fan of After Effects, it's a really good product that rarely gives me that feeling of it not allowing me to do what I want to do, but Premiere seemed deliberatly crippled. I suppose it's because you are supposed to use both of them together.
When I was in University this wasn't a problem as the Uni had both products, but the company I work for now can't justify the expense for After Effects for what it is we do.
Still, after evaluating both Sony Vegas Pro 8 and Premiere Pro CS 3, I think Premiere is winning.
Now, if only I can somehow convince the company to buy the Production Premium suite. :)
Thanks for your help guys.

How do you turn off Keyframes?

I am trying to edit fade-ins and fade-outs with the pen tool in timeline which has worked well for me in the past but cannot do this now. The manual says that the clips must not have keyframes. In canvas view the keyframe border is on which means there is a keyframe. I have tried the option key which gives me the '-' sign by the pen tool but that does not delete the keyframe. I don't know how keyframes got turned on nor how to turn it off or delete it. I have browsed the entire manual.
Can anyone help me with this?

Are you talking about audio or video? I'm guessing video. The opacity keyframes are visible in the timeline, but cannot be changed in the canvas. Do you see the opacity keyframes in the timeline? Are the clip overlays turned on? Are you clicking on the keyframes in the timeline with the pen delete function?

How do you split clips in the event viewer in iMovie '11?

I'm using iMovie '11 and have imported a very long movie (over an hour from VCR Tape) that I want to split into multiple events, however the "Split Clip" option is grayed out. How can I split a large event into smaller events?

I have discovered a round-about way to split large events from comments in this forum, so apologies, and or thanks to other posters.
You can split events by deleting (and discarding) a single frame at the point where you want to split the two clips. It's processor intensive (takes a while to do), but it works.
1.) In the Event Viewer, click to select where you want to split the event.
2.) Drag the yellow handles to make the selection as small as possible (1 frame?). If you drag the thumbnail display slider to the left to show only 1/2 second intervals, it helps when selecting a single frame.
3.) Right click and select "Reject Selection". The clip is now split.
4.) When you've completed all of your clip splitting, select "Show: Rejected Only" at the bottom of the Event Viewer to show all of the rejected frames.
5.) Click on "Move Rejected to Trash". This operation could take a while.
That should be it.
Hope this helps.

IPhone 2.0 software update: in Calendars, how to you customize colors?

With the update (2.0) released on Friday July, 11, 2008; for existing iPhone customers, is there any way to customize the calendar colors?
Even if I can just change the color to one color (because I hate red) is there any way to do this?
Thanks

I might just sit on this for a while and keep monitoring the situation in the iTouch world, even though I've paid for the upgrade and it never downloaded. Every time I try it recognizes the fact I've paid for it. It's not worth it to upgrade to junk or a pretty silver and black brick from my dazzling video/picture/music playing technologically advanced icon.
Thanks for the input, although I am disappointed there doesn't seem to be a fix to my issue right now. Maybe Apple will release a "don't try this at home if you S/N is below this: xxx" or a "whoops, we just figured out how to make this work properly across the board" statement.

How do you fix Clipped Signals in Soundtrack Pro in the Waveform Window

In "Analysis", under "Analysis Type", I checked (only) the Clipped Signal box and clicked on the "Analyze" button. STP found numerous clipped signals. However, selecting either one or all on the list, the "Fix" and "Fix All" buttons remain grayed out. How do I fix these?
macbook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.9) Soundtrack Pro 1.1

Far as I know, this feature just finds the clipped
clips . . . it doesn't fix them. You'd have to do
that manually and there's no good way to do that . .
. except to avoid them in the first place.

Thank you. I suspected that was the case. Wonder if that will be improved upon in FCS2?

How do you customize the interface?

My question: how can I adjust the user interface to bring back just a little of the 3-d effect? Are there files that can be copied back from Mavericks, for instance?
I'm having difficulty using the Yosemite interface just like I do with Windows: there isn't enough information to tell me what's clickable. This "flat" trend takes away the visual affordances that I rely on. I am not the sort who memorizes "where to click" or what all the icon graphics are meant to mean, especially in software that I don't use often. I've almost completely given up using iPads because of interface flatness — it's just easier to go back to pencil-and-paper now that I often can't tell what's interactable and what's just decoration! Apple used to engineer all this so very well, and for me it's sad to see that they're now pursuing trendy looks ahead of functional design.
Note that this is not a question about taste. It's purely about user interface usability. But if you can answer this, it might help the people who have taste-based issues about Yosemite as well.
I won't have much choice about which version of OS X I use either. I'll keep Mavericks on my home computer, but my work computer has to be kept in sync with the institutional norms so Yosemite looks inevitable there.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am looking for the 3-d contouring that makes clickable things look clickable, as opposed to increasing the contrastiness of it all. I actually find it distractingly jumpy even with contrast low — though there is a chance that I may end up simply getting used to it with time.

How do you smooth out keyframes?

I used the record button and tracked text with a object on the video.
When the text moves across the canvas it is jittery because of so many keyframes.
How do I fix that?
Also how do I select a bunch of keyframes at once on the canvas? Every time I tried to select multiple keyframes it moved the video underneath.
Thanks

I got it.
I put a Average Parameter on the position of the text.
It took away all the keyframes and now the text travels across the screen smoothly.
