Export or import keyboard shortcuts with Final Cut Pro
After you save a command set, you may want to export it to create a backup or to share the
new set with another user. Exported command sets are saved in a file that can be imported
back into Final Cut Pro at a later time.
Export a set of custom keyboard shortcuts
1. Choose Final Cut Pro > Commands > Customize (or press Option-Command-K).
2. If the command set you want to export isn’t shown, click the pop-up menu in the
top-left corner of the Command Editor and choose a different command set.
3. Do one of the following:
• Choose Final Cut Pro > Commands > Export.
• Click the pop-up menu in the top-left corner of the Command Editor and choose
Export.
4. Type a name for the exported command set in the Save As field, navigate to the location
where you want to save the exported set, and click Save.
The file is saved in the location you chose, with the filename extension .commandset.
Import a command set
1. In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
• Choose Final Cut Pro > Commands > Import.
• Open the Command Editor by choosing Final Cut Pro > Commands > Customize,
then click the pop-up menu in the upper-left corner of the Command Editor and
choose Import.
2. In the window that appears, navigate to the location where you’ve stored a command
set file, select it, and click Open.
If you’re already using a command set with the same name, you’re asked to rename the
command set.
The new command set is added to the Commands submenu of the Final Cut Pro menu
and to the pop-up menu in the Command Editor.
