This is an overview of the new features in Final Cut Pro 4.0. For more information on
these features and their use, see the
Final Cut Pro 4 User’s Manual
or Final Cut Pro Help.
Improvements for Setup
Missing scratch disk warning
You are now warned when scratch disks become unavailable. This can happen for a
number of reasons:
They might be turned off, disconnected, or temporarily
unmounted. If the scratch disk folder you selected has been moved, deleted, or
renamed, Final Cut Pro might not be able to find the scratch disk. The next time you
open Final Cut Pro, if the scratch disk can’t be found, a dialog appears with three
options:
•
Quit
•
Set Scratch Disks
to choose a new scratch disk
•
Check Again
, allowing you to reconnect or start up your scratch disk, wait for it to
mount, and then proceed as usual
New screen layouts
There are several new screen layouts, including:
•
Audio Mixing:
This places the Viewer, Canvas, and Tool Bench at the top of the screen.
The Tool Bench window contains the Audio Mixer tab. The Browser and Timeline are
on the bottom, with the Tool palette and audio meters to the right of the Timeline.
•
Multiple Edits:
This layout only appears if your screen resolution is set to 1280 x 854
or higher. This layout is useful for comparing three clips in a sequence in a row for
color correction. At the top of the screen, from left to right, are the Viewer; a Tool
Bench window with a Frame Viewer tab showing the previous edit point; the Canvas;
and another Tool Bench window with a Frame Viewer tab showing the next edit
point. The Browser and Timeline are on the bottom, with the Tool palette and audio
meters to the right of the Timeline.
Other improvements to screen layouts include the following:
•
You can now create and save multiple-monitor screen layouts.
•
Screen layouts are now resolution specific; a new screen layout’s minimum required
resolution is the resolution your monitor was set to when that layout was created.
