To resize multiple windows at the same time:
1 Move the pointer over the border between the windows you want to resize.
The pointer changes to the Resize Window pointer.
2 Drag the border in the desired direction to resize the appropriate windows.
The windows on either side of the border are resized accordingly.
Any border between two windows in Final Cut Pro can be dragged. When borders line
up, such as the tops of the Browser and Timeline, they act as a single border—resizing
one window resizes the other as well.
Using Window Layouts
Final Cut Pro comes with a set of predefined window layouts. These layouts determine
the size and location of the four main windows in Final Cut Pro (the Browser, Viewer,
Canvas, and Timeline), along with the Tool palette and audio meters. Some window
layouts include additional windows, such as the Tool Bench.
Keep in mind the following about window layouts:
 The available layouts depend on the resolution of your display.
 All layouts adjust automatically to the position of the Dock. If you change the
position of the Dock, reselect your window layout to reposition the windows so they
aren’t covering the Dock.
Choosing a Window Layout
Choose a layout that maximizes your screen real estate in the best way for your source
material, editing function, screen resolution, and monitor type. For example, if you’re
doing color correction, you may want to choose the Color Correction layout. This gives
you a simultaneous display of the Tool Bench window (and use of the Video Scopes tab
for monitoring levels), the Viewer (so you can manipulate the color correction controls),
and the Canvas (to see your output).
