Well, as you may have read previously… I LOVE keyboard shortcuts, and I LOVE sharing them here…
I could go and read all the shortcuts, but I find that the best way to learn them, is to stumble across them, in order to make them part of my workflow, I have to stumble across them, say “Huh… that’s cool” and then start using them.
I know I learned all of them once upon a time, all at one time… but you know, that’s a lot of information all at once… so either it’s gonna be an “Ah hah” moment or, as I said above, a “That’s cool” moment…
Today’s is a “That’s Cool” moment…
I discovered that when using an Instant Messenger program, or even Firefox, hitting CMD-(#) i.e. CMD-3 will switch to the 3rd tab in the browser or IM Window… (I know this is probably fundamental… but it’s new to me, which is great).
Well just out of curiosity I did the same thing in Final Cut Pro… thinking that it would switch between the different project sequences I had open… and instead it activated different windows (Broswer, Canvas, Viewer, Timeline)… So I find that CMD-1 activates the viewer, CMD-2 activates the Canvas, CMD-3 Activates the Timeline, and CMD-4 activates the Browser…
Pretty Cool huh… another thing that I learned is that if you activate it, and then hit that same command again, it opens/closes that window… so in case you want to peak underneath… just hit that shortcut again.
I look foward to the next Tip I can share…
incidentally… if you got www.LarryJordan.biz, Larry offers a Final Cut Pro daily…
