Happy to. Why don’t you e-mail me offlist so we don’t clog up the system.
dan.monro@turner.com or dmonro@mac.com. I still work on both systems, and I still like things about Avid better, but I definitely prefer FCP for that actual cutting part.

E-mail me, we’ll talk…

Hey Jason,

I’m coming from that same PC Avid background. If I understand your question, I think Command + 1 will work;

You’re in the viewer, mark an in, mark an out, command “u” to make a subclip
Now you’re in the browser with the clip name highlighted, you type the name hit return , closes clip name but browser is still active,
Hit command 1 and you’re back in the viewer, hit spacebar and play.

Not trying to be patronizing here, just wondering if this is the workflow you’re talking about, The above works for me – it’s one of the workflows that I brought with me from Avid.

Hope it helps,
D

Viewer is “command” + 1
Browser is “Command” + 4

Timeline is “Command” + 3
Canvas is “Command” + 2
Log & Capture is “Command” + 8

“Command” + any other number gives you various things. Try ’em…
