Avid in FCPv7's Clothing

You switched from FCPv7 but now instinctively press the wrong keys and reach for buttons that are't there? By Customizing Media Composer, it can act a bit more like FCPv7.

In this tutorial from Avid's Canadian Training Partner, Splice Training, we learn how to customize the appearance of the Timeline and Composer Monitor, as well as restore the Previous/Next Clip keyboard shortcuts all while working towards the aim of making Media Composer look and act a bit more like FCPv7.

Authors note: I don't really think it's in your best interest to whip away all the buttons and toolbars in an effort to make MC look closer to FCPv7, but ultimately do what you need to in order to be most productive with your storytelling tool.

no need to make it look like FCP, because Pro doesn't mean, it's REALLY for PROS. That's a one-way street, embrace avid, learn the secrets, master it, end of story.

@Mediagix It's a lesson on customization of MC's UI. The FCP part is just context. See also the "Author's note" part of the description. kthx.

@Mediagix Not if you are taking on projects and don't have time to play with a learning curve.

Thank you for this. I couldn't figure out how to remove buttons from my tool palette since I've gotten Avid

@splicetrainingcanada I understand, I just don't agree ;)
