Inside Final Cut Pro 7 are a number of hidden shortcuts. These shortcuts are not assigned to any button or key – but, if you know where to look, you can create your own customized settings.

In this short, focused, video tutorial, I show you how to create three really useful keyboard shortcuts for navigating the FCP 7 timeline. Plus, I show you where to look to explore for more hidden shortcuts.
NOTE: This tutorial supports features found in Final Cut Pro 7 or later.
