Assign Paste Timecode shortcut
In order for Jumper to work as fast and reliably as possible in Final Cut Pro, you need to make sure you assign the Paste Timecode shortcut within the Final Cut Pro Command Editor to SOMETHING.It doesn’t matter what keyboard shortcut you use - it just need to be assigned to SOMETHING.As of Final Cut Pro 11, Final Cut Pro now has a default shortcut key for Paste Timecode.For those using earlier versions of Final Cut Pro, or who have customised their keyboard shortcuts…If you click a thumbnail in Jumper without a shortcut key assigned, Jumper will display this notification:
If you hover over the notification, a button will appear (this is terrible UI design, but it’s from Apple, and not something we can control):
When you click it you’ll see a new notification like this:
And the Command Editor will automatically select the Paste Timecode entry:
You can now assign it to whatever you want, save your Command Set, and now Jumper can use it!
