Don’t Forget to Up Your Undo Queue!

Although it’s time for a basic Saturday entry, I guess I risk insulting everyone’s intelligence with the uber-obvious CMD Z shortcut (which is the beloved”Undo” command),

but I want to make sure FCP novices are aware that by hitting OPT Q, which brings up your user preferences pane, you can should must increase the number of steps you can go back with CMD Z (I set mine to 99 out of habit, but that’s pretty arbitrary).

Bear in mind that there’s also a shortcut for “re-do” (undoing an undo) and it is SHIFT CMD Z:

Yes, CMD Z and maybe even SHIFT CMD Z are pretty well known, but at least if you didn’t know about OPT Q for user prefs and upping your undo queue, you do now. Hey, It’s a weekend basic.  Happy editing!
