Hi Tom,

Yes, it is a QWERTY keyboard. My software is in English. I am using a wireless keyboard. The language set up on it is French (I’m in Quebec), which shouldn’t affect the letter “i” which is the shortcut I’ve always used on FCP to mark in on the viewer. The letter “i” is located on the third row, 6th key from the left of my keyboard. It is not the only shortcut that doesn’t work… On the timeline, the shortcut “a” to get my curser and the letter “b” to get the blade don’t work either.

This is my first edit on this new imac (and new keyboard), I’ve never experienced a problem where certain shortcuts don’t work before, all the shortcuts are listed in the button list too.

I have 7 files in one bin…

I’ll check out the fcp basic board next time ,Thanks.
Miriam

I am working on an imac, and have 4 gigs of RAM.

When you write: “Export parts that are nearly complete and re-import them as standalone segments”,Do you think color correction and text should be applied after these segments are exported, in a new project file?

I feel like these problems come from the fact that the project is becoming too large, even though I have different sequences for every scene. Could the number of sequences I have in the project be the cause of the slow render times?

I thought it was just because HD is too much for the computer, don’t most people work offline first?

Thanks,
Miriam
