Video editing window has disappeared

Issue: Missing windows in digital editing software

Timeline and Viewer have disappeared / some widows gone
All final cut pro windows can be closed independantly


FCP 7 with viewer window closed

Solution:

First press CTRL + U to reset the final cut pro interface to normal. If the timeline, and canvas are still not visible click on the sequence icon in the browser window.

Explanation:

All windows in Final Cut Pro can be closed or minimized independently.
FCP can work with a number of sequences, each of which has a timeline linked to the canvas viewer. Each sequence can be closed to allow working on others. If all are closed the timeline and canvas disappear.
