Here’s a list of keyboard shortcuts that I use all the time and find quite helpful in streamlining post production in Final Cut Pro X.
- Spacebar – Start/Stop clip, video, music
- Z – Zoom tool
- Shift+Z – Zoom out to the entire project
- Option+Click timeline to zoom out incrementally
- A – Arrow/Select tool
- B – Blade tool
- P – Position tool
- M – add a Marker
- E – Append event to End of timeline
- Q – connect event to timeline (add B-Roll)
- W – insert event at playhead (warning!)
- Comma/Period – nudge left or right (look at the keys), Titles & B-Roll
- Control + V – Show Video animation
- Control + D – Show/Change Duration
- Function + Left Arrow – Jump to beginning of project
- Function + Right Arrow – Jump to end of project
- I – set IN point
- O – set OUT point
Don’t forget about undo: Command+Z is your friend.
