Missed that.<br /><br />Lunelson...Yeah, I can't get COMMAND-OPT-CLICK to work either. Maybe that changed...after all, he is talking about FCP 4. Ah…so he does say OPT-P. Missed that.

Have to point out that the article you linked to DOES actually mention OPT-P, and I quote:<br />"Press Option/P while playhead is parked before a clip that requires rendering. FCP will play a RAM preview of the effect."<br /><br />Good call spreading the word though - everyone should use Option more...<br /><br />David Yup, I recently realised how much the option key rules in FCP (thanks, Lisa Brenneis!).

I always have to use Shift-Command-Option click; but this doesn't work for doing non-contiguous selection, like where the article gives the example of A-B rolling audio tracks....are you able to make it work? Hey Shane,

yeah that's a great article — but one thing that doesn't work for me is Command-Option-Click: I've never been able to use Command-Option click in the Timeline in FCP, because it seems to cause the mouse to grab the whole window, as if to move it.
