48 Part II Learning About the Final Cut Pro Interface

Customizing the Interface

Final Cut Pro allows you to customize the interface in several ways. You can rearrange

windows and move them to suit your needs and work style. You can also use various

screen layouts provided by Final Cut Pro. You can also position the Dock in the

Mac OS X interface so that it takes up less room or is hidden.

Moving and Resizing Windows

All open windows in Final Cut Pro—the Browser, Viewer, Canvas, Timeline, and Tool

Bench—can be individually moved and resized to suit both your working style and the

task at hand, even across multiple monitors. When all windows are arranged together

on a single monitor, you can drag the border between any aligned group of adjacent

windows to quickly resize all the windows at the same time.

To resize windows in Final Cut Pro:

m Drag the border in the desired direction to resize the appropriate windows.

The windows on either side of the border are resized accordingly.

Any border between two windows in Final Cut Pro can be dragged. When borders line

up, such as the tops of the Browser and Timeline, they act as a single border—resizing

one window resizes the other as well. See “Moving and Resizing Final Cut Pro Windows”

on page 139 for more information.
