For Laptop users:
You can gain a little screen estate by opening your .fcpworkspace – file with the Property List Editor (Xcode) and setting the ‘TB Is Shown’ property to 0. Now the toolbar is hidden. If you don’t have Xcode installed you can use the free PlistEdit Pro.

If u’re here you can correct a bug: If you want to see just the Browser in your layout it always opens the Library Sidebar.
That is: the FFEventLibrarySidebarHidden – property is not respected. But if you set the Frame size of the PEMediaEventOrganizerContainerModule to 0 the sidebar is gone! ….and your Workspace is the way you want it to be:)
Happy editing!

Thank you, I will try 🙂

Thank you for the answers.

In system prefs it works as app shortcut.
But both methods have the disadvantage of not being able to choose a one button shortcut.
As user of a laptop my space is limited and I find myself often opening the Inspector while closing the Browser {feature request: toggle button}.
This (the custom layouts) kind of works as a toggle between the two, even when it also opens the sidebar, which I now have to close… :

Probably it’s a bug, but when I store the layout: Browser (without Sidebar) Viewer Timeline
it opens every single time the Library Sidebar, which I really don’t need.

Is it a bug or am I being stupid?

Works also from the Key Detail window (tab)… 🙂

If I understood you right:
Press the command keys you used (alt, ctrl whatever) and pull the key from the virtual keyboard out of the Command Editor window.
Works for me…

FCPX works fine with HDV. I would guess EditReady fusses with the audio track. Just try the original HDV files…

Did you apply audio plugins?

[Michael Paul] “Music/Sound is connected to a clip in the primer. That clip in the primer has to go- I delete it and BAM my music/sound is gone as well while I would want it to stay – solution? “

Both problems, same solution: shift delete: gap clip replaces the original clip, connected clips stay, above or below the ‘primer’, probably not what you want, but sometimes useful.
What you want (maybe?): command-alt-delete: clip disappears, connected clips stay, above or below the ‘primer’. Now you probably have to move the connected clips….

[Michael Paul] “same goes for this example: I was doing an interview- I had plenty of broll shots above my primer. Now the Interview had to get shortened / some clips and parts from the interview (which is the main time line / the primer) had to go. That way all my connected clips also got deleted while I would have just wanted them to stay where they were. Maybe I grouped them and put them into a second…nope that way they would still be connected to the primer and get deleted anyways so what’s the solution for this?”

[Michael Paul] “I also FAIL at selecting stuff. I love features like that arrow you had in Final Cut 7 (or Avid or what not) where I can select EVERYTHING from the right of my play head or everything from the left of my play head. That way I can just move it all away. Do I seriously need to draw a rectangle each time?”

Thats just the joy of the MT that most of the time u don’t have to select forward/bw….
Maybe if you could describe what you want to achieve some powerusers (not me) can point you towards the new way of doing things…
For zooming, scrolling, selecting I really like the trackpad.
