    FCP7 Canvas displaying black screen after unknown keyboard shortcut!!!

    Posted by Steven Gindler on February 11, 2012 at 3:02 pm

    I am editing an interview this morning in Final Cut Pro 7 and my fingers completely spazzed as my cat jumped onto my desk and I hit a keyboard shortcut that turned my clip in the timeline a lighter shade of blue and everything stopped outputting on the canvas. I hit undo until the clip was the normal color blue and, but the canvas is still black. No other project files are doing this. Please help!

    Time sensitive project 🙁
