    Somehow, I’ve closed my Canvas and Timeline windows and I have not been able to open them up — when I go to the Window pulldown, both the Canvas and Timelijne are greyed out. My project is open, yet I can’t see it! The manual has been of no help to me. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks. – Rob

    Double click your sequence in your Browser.

    I knew it would be that simple. Thanks, Jerry. I’ve been working on FCP on and off for about a year and I still feel as though I know only about 25% of it. But it gets better every week.

    It’s completely unintuitive that you can’t reopen the windows by selecting them from the pull down menu. Apple’s interface design, at times, unclutters to the point of making operations invisible.

    The Timeline and the Canvas are two sides of the same thing, one’s a graphical display, the others the visual display of a sequence. There is no way for the menu function to know which sequence you want to open.
