Change the workspace layout in Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro comes with a set of predefined workspace layouts that determine the size and
location of the main areas of the Final Cut Pro window, including the browser, the viewer,
the inspector, and the timeline.
If none of the existing workspace layouts meet your needs, you can create and save
additional layouts. After you save a custom workspace layout, you can easily share it with
others. When you create custom layouts, you can include additional areas, such as the
timeline index, the event viewer, the comparison viewer, and the audio meters.
Choose a workspace layout
• In Final Cut Pro, choose Window > Workspaces, then choose a layout from the
submenu.
Save custom workspace layouts
1. In Final Cut Pro, arrange the areas of the main window the way you want them.
See Arrange the Final Cut Pro main window.
2. Choose Window > Workspaces > “Save Workspace as.”
3. Enter a name for the new layout, then click Save.
The new layout is added to the Workspaces submenu.
Tip: To save a change to an existing custom layout, make the change, then choose
Window > Workspaces > Update [ name] Workspace.
