F9/F10 keys in FCP on macbook pro
Hi, I am having trouble using the F9 and F10 keys for insert and overwrite editing in FCP because the macbook pro uses these keys for the keyboard brightness controls. How do I enable them to be used in FCP?
thanks

Apple System Preferences, Keyboard and Mouse, Keyboard tab and in the middle is a checkbox for F1 to F12 keys. Uncheck that box.

if you whant to use the f keys for FCP then go to system prefrences – keboard & Mouse and tick the box to disable the hardware functions (from then on you will need to use the F keys in combination with the Fn (function keys on you laptop) to controle hardware functions (brightness etc) then goe to dashboard expose (system prferences) and reconfigure you shortcut keys for example option F9 option F 10 etc.
this will leave you F Keys available for FCP

[GaryAlan] “Apple System Preferences, Keyboard and Mouse, Keyboard tab and in the middle is a checkbox for F1 to F12 keys. Uncheck that box.”
just to clarify, the option is called “Use the F1-F12 keys to control software features” … and you need to check the box not uncheck it.

right u r. Probably the easiest thing for anyone to figure out “once they get there” since it’s the only checkbox that has F1 to F12 and hopefully the poster will read it and understand. off, on, off, on, testing, can u hear me
Now, to correct all the bad English and spelling that 85% of the posters make everyday, every thread. 🙂

Most elegant solution is to press Command (Apple) key
with F9 or with F10 and voila – you don’t need to mess
with your settings at all.Mick
