Saving Additional Window Layouts
If you want to save a layout for use on another computer, or name a layout yourself, you
can save layouts to your hard disk. Keep in mind the following about saving window
layouts:
• When you save a window layout, you save the state of each currently open window in
Final Cut Pro, including the number and order of all tool tabs in all open Tool Bench
windows.
• If you have two monitors connected to your computer, when you save a window layout,
the state of all Final Cut Pro windows appearing on both monitors is saved.
• The screen resolution that’s selected at the time a window layout is saved becomes
the minimum resolution at which that layout can be used.
