  Canvas playback while using other program. stupid question

  Posted by Dan Freshman on March 18, 2009 at 2:23 pm

  Hello,

  I am attempting to type in a word document while a video is playing on the canvas in Final cut. Everytime I click anywhere out of final cut, the video cuts. Is there any way around this?

  Thanks in advance,
  dan

  No. If you want to play back video in FCP, you need to stay in FCP.

  Thanks for the response. I am in the midst of transcribing interviews and have been alt tabbing back and forth b/w word and final cut. One time while in an alt tabbing/typing frenzy, I hit the wrong key and all of a sudden was typing while playback was occuring in final cut. I havent been able to recreate this, and is why i came to the forums. So unless I was hallucinating (which i believe could be possible) there is a way to do it…
