Cap Lock Key
You know how the cap lock key on prevents rendering? And you get that yellow message bar in the viewer. Well, this may sound stupid but I need the cap lock on. And I need to see what I’m doing in the viewer.
Any suggestions?

what are you trying to do?

I need to add text to my timeline. We just moved over from Inscriber to do all our titling needs. However, all of our lower thirds, full page quotes and such are capitalized. Needless to say, it’s a royal pain to hold down the shift key while typing a full page quote.

I would suggest you toggle the caps key on and off as needed.
Pretty simple.

actually I discovered a work around, sort of. I didn’t give all the details in my original post in what I was doing but here it is:
I created a text template in motion to use in final cut. We have pre-made graphical backgrounds that this text must align to and fit in. Thus my need to view the results in my canvas while typing. Toggling the caps lock on and off is a solution, but something I would rather avoid if possible. Doing that thousands of times a day to see my alignment would drive me crazy.
Because I used a Motion template, I’m able to use an ‘all caps’ parameter on my Motion layer. That solves the problem. Now in Final Cut, as I enter my text in the Motion template in lowercase, it updates my canvas real time all in caps. I don’t need to get near that caps lock now!
