Apple Final Cut PRO and Final Cut Express (ShuttlePRO v2 and ShuttlePRO users
on Mac OS 10.3)
Q: I have a ShuttlePRO device on Mac OS 10.3 and the Insert Edit command and the
Overwrite Edit command don’t do what they’re supposed to do.
A: This happens because the Exposé feature of Mac OS 10.3.x (Panther), by default, uses two
of the same keyboard commands as Final Cut. The “All windows” command of Exposé is
F9, which is also the “Insert Clip” command of Final Cut. The “Application windows”
command of Exposé is F10, which is also the “Overwrite Edit” command of Final Cut. If you
would like to use the “Overwrite Edit” and “Insert Edit” commands within Final Cut and
from the Shuttle device you will need to reconfigure Exposé, here’s how:
1. Launch System Preferences, and choose Exposé.
2. In the Keyboard section change the key command for “All windows”, and
“Application windows” to something other than their default values of F9 and F10
respectively.
Alternatively, if you do not want to change the default key commands for Exposé, you can
reassign the “Insert Edit” and “Overwrite Edit” functions from within the Keyboard Layout
feature of Final Cut. You will then need to reassign these functions for both the Final Cut
Pro/Express (Edit Viewer), and (Edit Timeline) settings from within the Shuttle device
