    Hi!

    I am a premiere pro 2 editor, now learning FCP (its amazing how similars they are; i guess premiere guys copied FCP interface) and i would like to know if there is any way to put the effects tab in a separate window. Yes, I know i can drag the tab, and a separate windows appears, but it disaapears as soon as i double click any other clip. It just returns to the viewer as a tab.

    … and… is there any way to view a clip in the viewer with just one click, no double click? I just wanted to select clips in the timeline (one click)and see the it

    GO to WINDOW>ARRANGE>Color Correction and you will get three windows. One that looks at out clip in the timeline, and when you doublt click it (sorry, you must double click) then it opens it in the other window where you see the filters. SO you see it in the canvas, see the filters in the other window, and when you make changes, you see them change. The third window is the scopes.

    Actually, this is how it works if your timeline is normal. Double click and open the clip in the viewer, click on the FILTERS tab and you see the filters. make changes and the changes are reflected in the CANVAS.

    Yes jubal. and there is system that you don’t have to make even a single click. In the top of the Canvas and the Viewer windws, there are three little buttons. Click the one in the middle.
    You will read:
    – Sync off
    – Open
    – Gang.
    Select Open. Now with the Up and Down arrows you can go jumping in the time-line from clip to clip. They get open in the Canvas and also in the Veiwer. You just have to let selected the effects tab in the Viewer and the effects are ready for you. What you make in the effects tab will show-up in the canvas.
    But if what you want is to have the effects tab permanently separated from the Viewer window, I think is not possible. Whenever you go to a new clip, the effects window go back to the original possition.
    salud.

    I’m confused.

    You want the effects tab in a separate window….easy…I have it on my second
    monitor all the time. Under the window menu you select effects, then move
    the window to wherever you want it. Then under windows menu to to arrange
    and save the window layout. Now it will stay wherever you want it.

    You want the filters tab in a separate window….no, this does not work.
    Filters correspond to specific clips. It can’t be up all the time.

    Which is it?

    Thanks, Dan, I just wanted the effects tab in a separate window. I am used to thay way of working in premiere: Just selecting (one click!) a clip in the timeline and watch it
