Final Cut Pro X Babbling

Just another quick tip with which you may be familiar. If not, it’s very useful. As you probably know, holding the accent/tilde key down while dragging clips will “disable” clip connections temporarily. When you release the key, connections are enabled again. This tip shows you an easy, (and undocumented) way to “lock” connections off so you need not hold the key down.

If you don’t feel like watching the video… the trick is to press the accent/tilde key and, while holding it down, press the SHIFT key and then release both keys at the same time. To reenable clip connections, simply press the accent/tilde key again. Comes in handy…
