A
Word
about
Preferences
Setting
up
Preferences
is
not
the
most
exciting
place
to
start,
however,
it
can
save
you
a
lot
of
hassle
later
on
by
getting
it
right
from
the
beginning.
The
Preferences
in
Final
Cut
Pro
X
are
relatively
sparse
compared
to
the
myriad
of
choices
offered
in
some
editing
programs.
There
are
five
separate
panes:
General,
Editing,
Playback,
Import
and
Destinations.
The
most
important
of
these
for
setting
up
your
system
are
Editing,
Playback
and
Import.
Editing
Preferences
You
can
choose
the
default
setting
for
color
correction;
this
can
be
easily
changed
at
any
time
while
working.
For
the
most
part,
the
Editing
Preferences
can
be
left
at
their
defaults.
I
suggest
making
sure
the
two
following
options
are
checked:
Show
Detailed
Trimming
Feedback
and
Position
Playhead
after
Edit
Operation.
