Browser Basics - Final Cut Pro Screencast from Shawn Harrel on Vimeo.

The least exciting area of the Final Cut Pro interface is the lowly Browser. Everyone knows the basics, but did you know ⌘4 is the keyboard shortcut to make it the active window?

Did you know you can cycle through view options with ⇧H and you can copy a clip from one bin to another by Option-dragging or by using the keyboard shortcut ⌥D?

I always encourage my students to think like a Certified Pro. They may always create a new Bin by typing ⌘B, but they also need to know the other ways to accomplish the same task.

This short screencast will hopefully approach the Browser with that mindset. Expect to see a few more on a variety of topics. I'll share them with my students and I'll share them here.
