    how to get a larger preview window during log and transfer in final cut pro? The current window is tiny…… I tried dragging a few sliders and bars, but still. This is from the Panasonic SD9 camera (old stuff)…… / old footage.

    I still have much to learn ….. 🙂

    The log & transfer window size follows the last size setting of your canvas. I bet your canvas is set to something like 33%, that’s why the log & transfer window is that small. Before opening log & transfer, set your canvas size to fit to window or %100 and your log & transfer window should open up in the larger (normal) size.

    Yes I tried, but the result was the same. Please take a look at the attached screendump:

    Sorry. Silly me. I meant the log & CAPTURE window follows the canvas size, not the log & transfer window. I believe the log & transfer window is always that small with all the inspection/status screens going on all at once. But alas, I could be wrong again. Being wrong is fun sometimes, other times, NOT!
