Might as well make it a FULL not HALF tip by mentioning that if you hold down the CTRL key while scrubbing then the poster-frame changes to the frame you’re on when you let go of the mouse button.

Yep, great addition to the tip. To be MORE specific on that you have to enable/press the CONTROL key WHILE you are scrubbing as FCP won’t let you scrub if you hit it first as it attempts to bring up a submenu and there is not submenu when the cursor is over a thumbnail.

And you can aslo change that Thumbnail column thumb by loading a clip in the Viewer and hitting CONTROL + P, the same thumbnail setting operation when in Large Icon view.

These kinds of tips can go on and on and on .....

Well, no, this one couldn’t go on actually. The last part doesn’t have anything to do with the original tip on the functionality/scrubbing of thumbnails.

And I in fact wrote WHILE not BEFORE btw.

My point was that these are QUICKtips that are short and fast (for the most part) and could, in general, go on and on.

I think the best part of Quicktips in general is they can be expanded upon such as your expansion with the CTRL addition to scrubbing as that makes it even more useful to thanks for adding!
