    I have some large clips I am quickly going through, setting in/outs and insert editing them into the timeline. After each insert I have to reactivate the viewer. Is there a way to keep the viewer the active window during a process like this?

    No, just tap the Q key.

    Also i would recommend a colored FCP keyboard. I have used FCP since version 1.0, and at version 3 got a keyboard. I learned more about fcp from the keyboard that I did from years of mousing around. Oh, and the sticky things apple ships come off and are very tacky.

    Loren Miller’s Key Guide is more thorough than a keyboard. It carries all the option, cmd and cntrl key combos as well.

    A few people including myself have asked for this. Hopefully Apple will listen. I’ve mapped Shift-SpaceBar to toggle source/record. That way you can easily keep you fingers over the all important J K L.
