the Power of Tilde ~ Key - (HELP PLEASE!!)

Hi all,

I´ve saw on youtube a super tip named "the Power of Tilde ~ Key". That´s great, but I did buy my computer in Germany and the keyboard is diferent ( no Tilde key). I know the shortcut to type ~ is Option + N. But I don´t want type ~ .... I want to use this FCPX shortcut key to do what the tip video shows. If a press Option + N , final cut create a new event.... please help.



thanks

Yes, I had this problem also. I supose that the problem that you mean is about when you Slip trim the clip in the main storyline all the clips,etc.. who are connect to the clip also move , right?

exactly that . I´m trying, unsuccessful. :blink:

I didn´t figured out how to use the tilde key an non US keyboard. But what you can do is..select the clip that you want to slip trim, and lift it from Storyline. You will realize that FCPX will replace the clip whit a gap at the main Storyline and now all clips that were connected to this clip, now are connected to the gap below. Select the trim tool and do what you need. When you´ve done, select the selection tool, select the clip and go back to the main Storyline using the command Overwrite to Primary Storyline. Done.

I think you are looking for the " override connections" command, just remap it to your convenience in the command editor.

hope this helps

auf einer Deutschen Tastatur ist das
⌘ + ^

(cmd und grave/Taste ganz oben links)
Der Cursor verändert sich und die 'Verbindung' ist aufgehoben.

Kann man in Befehle/Anpassen auf 'ne freie Taste mappen.
ach so, und um aus dem Modus rauszukommen, muss man tatsächlich 1x außerhalb FCPX clicken… (jedenfalls ist mir keine andere Methode bekannt; die Macke ist seit 2003 bekannt …)

Francois,

that´s great. I didn´t know this command.

Thanks

Thank you all!
