Creating Custom Screen Layouts

The power of the Final Cut Express interface lies in its flexibility. You perform a wide range of tasks in FCE: database management, editing, effects design, titling, and many others. Here are a couple of sample screen layouts that can help you make the most of your screen real estate.
