46 Part II Learning About the Final Cut Pro Interface

Using Button Bars

You can create shortcut buttons and place them in the button bar along the top of the

main windows in Final Cut Pro—the Browser, Viewer, Canvas, Timeline, and any Tool Bench

windows. (The Tool Bench is a specialized window containing tabs for specific tasks, such

as the Audio Mixer.) You can then click any of the shortcut buttons in the button bar to

perform commands, instead of entering keyboard shortcuts or using menus.

For more information on using and customizing button bars, see Chapter 10,

“Customizing the Interface,” on page 139.

Using Shortcut Menus

Shortcut menus (also called contextual menus) are available in nearly every section of

every window and offer a quick way to perform various tasks. The commands available

in a shortcut menu depend on the location of the pointer. For example, a shortcut

menu in the Browser shows options different from those available in a shortcut menu

in the Timeline.
