The top of the Browser has Project tabs and the Effects tab, but additionally there can be bins that have been opened and placed at the top of the Browser window as well. There is one final touch to the tabs in the Browser window. Click on any tab and drag to a new location. Just as in the timeline where we can now reposition the sequence tabs, we can now do the same with the tabs in the Browser window. I also use the same color for any bins that might belong to that sequence.Īnother improvement to the tabs in the timeline, is the fact that we can now rearrange the position and order of the tabs, just click on a sequence tab and drag it to a new location. While a seemingly small thing, this really helps when working with multiple sequences in a project, the coloring of the tabs gives us a visual clue as to which sequence we are working on in the timeline.

This color feature has now been extended, so that when we color code a sequence in the Browser window, the tab for that sequence in the timeline will be colored as well. While the names of the colored labels my have value for some, for me it's always been the use of different colors that help me keep organized. To color an item in the Browser window, Control (right click) on the item and from the Label section of the drop-down menu, pick a color. These settings are global, that is to say, that if you change the name of any label color, the new name will show wherever labels are used. In the FCP menu > User Preferences > Labels tab, you can click on any name and change it. While each color has a default name associated with it, the names can be easily changed. Labels have been around since the start and have traditionally been used to color code items in the Browser window, like Bins and Clips, to help keep things organized. With the introduction of FCP 7, two items, Labels and Markers have received some attention and this has made life using FCP easier. While these can be simple feature enhancements, they can have a large impact on how we use FCP. While there are often major new features, sometimes, some of FCP's existing features get updates as well. With each new roll out of Final Cut Pro, we always look to see what new features have been included.
