  keywords saving

  Posted by Roger Sherman on April 5, 2017 at 1:40 pm

  I’m new to FCP-X. Using keywords I find that if I type a letter and pause for a millisecond, it saves that letter or half a word as a key word. EG, I have “b-roll” as keyword. If I type “B” and pause “B” will become a keyword. I have to go in frequently and delete those unintentional keywords.

  Or, it autofills a different keyword from the one I’m entering. It doesn’t wait for me to press enter to create a new keyword or finish the one that already exists.

  Any way to slow down or change the speed in preferences? I see nothing there nor anything in forums search.

  It also distinguishes capital letters from lower case. So if “Boston” is a keyword and I type “boston” w/lower case “b”, I’ll get two keywords. Can’t find specific keyword preferences.

  Very frustrating.
  thanks,
  Roger

  How are you creating keywords? I’ve never seen that. I create keyword collections by right clicking on the event and choosing new keyword collection. I type a letter and it just sits and waits. Doesn’t create a keyword collection no matter how long I pause.
