Show onscreen controls in Final Cut Pro for Mac
The onscreen controls for transitions appear when a transition is selected. The onscreen controls for clip effects appear when an effect is selected, or when the playhead is positioned over a clip or title in the timeline that has a video effect applied. You can also show or hide the onscreen controls.
Note: Onscreen controls are always hidden when you play clips in the timeline.
Show or hide a transition’s onscreen controls
In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
Show the transition’s onscreen controls: Select the transition in the timeline.
Hide the transition’s onscreen controls: Deselect the transition in the timeline.
Show or hide a clip effect’s onscreen controls
In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
Show the effect’s onscreen controls: Position the playhead over a clip with the effect, or select the clip with the effect in the timeline, then select the effect in either the Video Animation editor or the Video inspector.
Hide the effect’s onscreen controls: Deselect the clip with the effect in the timeline, or deselect the effect in the Video Animation editor or Video inspector.
Note: If a clip contains multiple effects that use onscreen controls, only the topmost effect’s onscreen controls appear when the playhead is positioned over the clip.
