154 Part II Learning About the Final Cut Pro Interface

To create a shortcut button in the button bar of a window:

1 Make sure the window you want to add the shortcut button to is displayed. If you’re

adding a shortcut button to the Tool Bench window, make sure the tab of the feature

you want is in front.

2 Choose Tools > Button List.

The Button List window appears. This looks the same as the command list area of the

Keyboard Layout window.

∏ Tip: You can also drag icons from the command list area or keyboard area of the

Keyboard Layout window.

3 Drag an icon from the Button List window to the window where you want the shortcut

button to appear.

A shortcut button with an icon for the specified operation now appears in the window.

As more shortcut buttons are added to the button bar, tabs in the window move to

accommodate them.

Note: You may need to resize the window to view all shortcut buttons and tabs. If the

buttons in a button bar exceed the width of the window, a dot appears on the left

edge of the button bar, indicating there are more buttons that cannot be seen. To see

the additional buttons, you need to widen the window.

To use shortcut buttons to perform commands:

m Click the shortcut button in the button bar of the desired window.

The window containing the shortcut button does not have to be active.

Rearranging, Moving, and Copying Shortcut Buttons

New shortcut buttons are placed to the left or right of existing buttons. You can move

and copy shortcut buttons within a window and to different windows. You can also add

“spacers” between shortcut buttons to organize them in the button bar.
