Are the FCP 7 keyboard shorcuts now accurate in CC?

[Kevin Monahan]

[Chris Borjis] “Not sure anyone noticed but if you change your keyboard in cs 6 to
final cut 7 there are an awful lot of keyboard shortcuts
that are not correct.

You end up having to customize them to be accurate if you have
a final cut pro keyboard. (colored keys)”

Really? It would be cool to get a list of what doesn’t work. I could pass that on to engineering and get a fix ASAP. Anyone have one?

Insert editing is F9, should be CMD+9

Next, previous sequence edit point should be colon and quote keys.

Render all within work area should be CMD+R

[Chris Borjis] “Insert editing is F9, should be CMD+9”

Insert edit has always been F9. F10 to Overwrite. F11 to Replace. If I recall correctly. It’s been a long time! Maybe yours has been customized in FCP and you forgot about that?

[Chris Borjis] “Next, previous sequence edit point should be colon and quote keys.”

If I recall correctly, aren’t they the up/down arrow keys?

OK, thanks.

F9 minimizes all apps to panels on a mac. using cmd+F9 keeps the panels from moving and inserts.

previous next edit can be the arrow keys and is also mapped to the colon and apostrophe (I use the latter)

By default, it actually is F9. You have your keyboard set up to be standard for F9, F10, etc. in your System Prefs. I taught FCP for years, so this is one I’m pretty certain of.

[Chris Borjis] “previous next edit can be the arrow keys and is also mapped to the colon and apostrophe (I use the latter)”

Most FCP users use the former, including myself (back in the day). Sorry about that. In fact, it’s also the default for Premiere Pro now.

No, F9 IS the default for the FCP keyboard, all those Function Keys are default for FCP, always have been. Just when they came out with with the Expose and crap, you had to turn those commands off. So the Adobe keyboard layout is correct as is.

Kevin, can your engineers create multifunction keys like S= slip, ss= slide, sss= retime) or z=zoom in, zz=zoom out or b=razor one clip bb=razor entire timeline?

other functions like control + v cut the whole timeline and if you select a certain clip(s) above one another, it cuts everything again rather than the select content. I’ve used the standard FCP keyboard layout since FCP3 and PPCS6 seems close, however I stil find myself creating may shortcuts (like b for the razor) that just never made it in your preset.

PPCS6 is wonder and i’m not bashing, its just different and we’re trying to adapt here. we have noticed that it seems more click/drag and right click oriented then keyboard and mouse or stylus friendly at the moment.

thanks for reading.
