Final Cut Pro
The Final Cut Pro layout puts the editor’s own shortcuts under your fingers: the tools, the edit types, marks and markers, trims and retimes, two knobs for jog and shuttle, J K L transport and the windows you open all day. Every key was checked against Final Cut Pro’s menus.
Every control, explained.
Point at a key on the pad above or on a row below: both light up. These are the keys of the built-in Final Cut Pro layout and what each one sends to the Mac.
More than keys.
Jog steps one frame per detent (← →). Shuttle moves ten frames (⇧← ⇧→). Both rotate past 270° with haptic detents.
Keys press down and spring back; the theme decides the cap, the legend font and the click.
What the Mac and the pad share.
