Is there a command shortcut to toggle colour correction on and off while in full screen mode in the viewer.
Thanks

Don't think so. If you have 2 monitors you can display viewers on the second and have the controls available on the other.

Also, if you use a monitoring solution (video card) connected to an external monitor via HDMI or SDI, you would get "broadcast monitoring", which means, the external monitor would reflect instantly the changes you make in the color board. If your computer has Thunderbolt, there are some cheap solutions available from Blackmagic (UltraStudio MiniMonitor, 145$) and AJA (T-Tap, 295$). Of course, you'd need an HDMI monitor as well (wether it is a computer monitor or an HDTV).

Nevertheless, I wish FCPX had a "Toggle between Event Viewer and Main Viewer" command that would work in Full Screen Mode as well. That way, we could Match Frame ("Reveal in Browser") the original shot in order to compare with the color corrected shot in the timeline at Full Screen. This would be handy for those times when you need to work on a laptop, or you don't have a second monitor available.

By the way, in order for this trick to work, we'd need to be able to enter Full Screen Mode without playback starting automatically (at least as an option).

If any of you agree with this two feature requests, please submit them to Apple. I already did. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, I will submit these to apple, yes the automatic playback in full screen mode I find very irritating.
