Store and review frames in the frame browser
When working with the comparison viewer in Saved mode, you can view, add, and remove
saved video frames in the frame browser.
1. In Final Cut Pro, show the comparison viewer next to the viewer by choosing Window >
Show in Workspace > Comparison Viewer (or pressing Control-Command-6).
2. To open the frame browser, click the Saved button at the top of the comparison viewer,
then click the Frame Browser button in the lower-left corner.
3. To save a frame to the frame browser, position the playhead on a frame in the timeline
or the browser, then do one of the following:
• Click the Save Frame button in the lower-right corner of the comparison viewer.
• Click the Save Frame button in the lower-left corner of the frame browser.
The saved frame appears in the comparison viewer, and its thumbnail is added to the
frame browser.
When the frame browser reaches 30 saved frames, the oldest image will be deleted to
make room for newly saved frames. You can access saved frames from any project in
the current library, but they are not available across libraries.
4. In the frame browser, do any of the following:
• Display a saved frame in the comparison viewer: Click its thumbnail.
• Quickly preview a saved frame in the comparison viewer: Hold down the Option key
as you move the pointer over a thumbnail.
• Remove a saved frame: Select its thumbnail and press Delete.
