Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy COLORED TABS

  • Posted by Bob Vick on October 26, 2006 at 6:39 pm

    At times I tend to have several projects and timelines open at the same time. Is there a way to color the tabs above the timeline window to reflect the different projects?

    also any chance a newer FCP will have the Audio and Video selection visible on the logging tab within Capture and not just the clip settings?

    Sorry, no colored tabs.

    Not quite sure what you are asking for your second question.

    doubtful, that will probably stay the Clip Settings tab. Just remember, anything in FCP with a tab can be pulled out to its own window so if you want it visible, just pull it out.

    There have been times that I have captured only Video. Since the Capture settings stay however you last used them, I have at times captured several clips only to realize that the audio was not selected. The way my system is set up I can hear and see even if the clips settings does not have it selected. I thought that if the Audio and Video selections were visible in the logging tab under the prompt box, it would just be one more piece of information and to me a useful one. It could have a V and an A that would highlight if it is selected to be captured.

    This is actually a really great feature request that I had never thought of before…You might want to send that in to Apple’s feedback line.

    I have sent this a bunch, it never gets in. Walter’s workwround is good, but it still gets ya sometime. A simple visual matrix would be nice right on the logging window just to let you know what you are logging and or capturing. Then you know if you need to change it or not.
