  • function key shortcuts not working in FCP

    Posted by Craig Weisbaum on March 12, 2008 at 8:38 pm

    I just launched my brand new FCP 6.0.2 Macpro 8core system and I can’t get the function key shortcuts to work in FCP. (f10 to overwrite, f9 to insert a clip…).

    The “letter” shortcuts work fine.

    I opened System Preferences and the funcyion keys were already released from Expose and I also confirmed they are released in the “keyboard shortcut” window of sys prefs.

    So I put them back inon Expose, restarted and then opened the sys pref window and erased them again from Expose. Now they work in FCP ONLY when I press the “fn” modifier key.

    I then threw out my fcp preferences and tried it all again. The besyt I can get it is to work when I press “fn” with the function key.

    Am I missing something? Please help!

    Sys Prefs > Keyboard and Mouse > Keyboard Tab

    Uncheck the box that says “Use all f1, f2, Etc…”

    That box had already been unchecked. (yet it still only works when I PRESS the “fn” key).
