Final Cut Pro Hotkeys

It lists 98 keyboard shortcuts for Final Cut Pro on macOS, spread across 13 categories including Timeline, Browser, Navigation, File, and Output. The page is a reference for editors who already know their way around the app and want to speed up specific actions.

General and Navigation give you the broadest return because they apply across the whole application. Timeline shortcuts are worth prioritizing next if you spend most of your time cutting and trimming. Browser and Finding items help once you are dealing with larger media libraries.

Yes. Final Cut Pro runs exclusively on macOS, so all shortcuts on this page use Mac modifier keys such as Command and Option. There is no Windows version to compare against.

Do not try to work through all 98 at once. Pick one or two categories that match what you are editing right now, practice those shortcuts until they feel natural, then move on. Categories like In and Out points or Logging and capturing can wait until you actually need them.
