Shortcuts Final Cut Pro for MacOS

MacOS

Final Cut professional video editor was developed for mac OS. Rarely used by lovers. But if you are just starting to work with the program, we recommend that you study the main hot keys in order to get used to the layout of the keys, their combinations. This greatly optimizes your work and will save you from routine tasks. The program allows you to customize the shortcut keys at your discretion. If you worked with other video editors and got used to a different key layout, in Final Cut you can customize how hot keys work in the same way, and not be used to other combinations. Also on the site KBcovers.com it is possible to choose an individual keyboard overlay. A full set of hot keys is available in the Final Cut manual. Additional program KeyCue shows hotkeys in a special HUD window. Change combinations available in the settings.
