Hello
I'm editing a film I've shot and have been advised to get a keyboard overlay with FCP7 shortcuts. I can only find one on eBay in America which will take weeks to arrive. Plus, I"m not sure whether FCP7 shortcuts are the same as X, which is presumably what the American one is for. CAn anybody help please?

Look for 'Editors Keys' online; they sell stuff like this (sent me FCP7 and Avid MC ones that saved my sanity on a confusing work trip)

Point of the KB covers is they roll out over existing keyboard -in fact a bit protective too, if yr in dusty environment - but just roll up and swap when you need, or leave off altogether, with no sticking. Made it a bit easier swapping between FCP7 and Avid MC for me.

They also used to sell sticker sets, might be worth seeing if they still do

Try these (post from London). I bought a cheap USB keyboard to stick mine on, so I didn't have to have it on the macbook all the time. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Miuxe-Apple-Final-Cut-Keyboard-Stickers-Black-Letters-Mac-QWERTY-UK-US/321812970513?_trksid=p2141725.c100338.m3726&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20141212152715%26meid%3D5989c9072d9e4db595601f402540a5e3%26pid%3D100338%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D14%26sd%3D140740207276

(you could also get a keyboard cover for the macbook and stick them on there...e.g. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-Silicone-Keyboard-Keypad-Cover-Protector-For-Apple-13-15-Macbook-Pro-iMac-/231091881176?var=&hash=item35ce2644d8

If you are at all familiar with any shortcuts (you mention FCPX) just configure the keyboard shortcut editor to match in FCP7
