  • insert/overwrite problem on Bella keyboard

    Posted by Steven Austin on March 21, 2012 at 1:33 am

    Hi,
    I have the Bella pro 3.0 FCP keyboard. The yellow/red insert & overwrite keys (at the top) don’t function. I contacted Bella but have not heard back. Does anyone have the manual or a solution? Thanks!!!

    You need to disable some of the system’s keyboard commands in order for those insert and overwrite buttons to work at all. It’s not a problem with the keyboard. Open your Mac’s system settings (found in the apple menu in the finder) and then click on the keyboard settings. Turn off all of the F keys to not be used by the system. Then the F keys in FCP will operate as advertised.
