  • Shortcut to jump from browser to viewer?

    Posted by Brian Alexander on January 28, 2008 at 12:38 am

    Hi everyone, I’m new to Final Cut but am getting a feel for it and am nearly mouse-free when it comes to what I’m doing (lots of sub-clip creating from big clips)

    However, the one shortcut I haven’t been able to find online or on my own is how, after creating a subclip and having it saved to the browser, to then be able to jump back to the viewer to continue reviewing footage and creating subclips – I’m sure there must be a way to do this without having to mouse over to the viewer and clicking it, but I haven’t been able to find it listed on the shortcut sheets I’ve found

    So I’d appreciate if anyone could tell me how to do this

    Thanks a lot

    You can jump around the windows by pressing Apple+1 or +2 or +3 etc.

    The default for the viewer is Apple+1.

    Is that what you mean? The shortcuts are listed right next to the window names under the ‘window’ drop-down at the top.

    Hope that helps – sometimes the answers are right under your nose!

    thanks, Ben – that’s it

    I actually did figure it out (right after posting) and was going to answer my own question when I found I was cleared for posting but you beat me to it – I know I had used that shortcut to open/close the window before, could have sworn I tried it in this situation but apparently I did not – it is a nice time save and can’t believe I didn’t find that over the course of weeks (though wasn’t searching for it full time)

    again, thanks
