Full Screen Preview

[mixedclimber]

Does anyone know if FCP has a full screen preview. This would be an option to view my timeline in full screen. I only have 1 monitor. What I do now is resize my viewer everytime I want to view the timeline larger. Is there an easier way?

Yeah!!! All you have to do is switch your audio video settings to apple cinematic display. You can still controll the sequence playing from timeline. Especially helpful when working on a laptop

I did that, where do I find the command to view fullscreen?

Careful though...
Do not be surprised if the playback fails at a given frame. Depending on your system hardware, sometimes FCP pings out and drops a frame during playback. (especially at a full screen res playback)

And if you do have a pretty descent setup, then nevermind what I just said
