Re: [FCP-L] exporting stills short cut?

Motion still seems to be the easiest, especially if there's no shortcut
in Color. I also was able to import as tif, which means I have the files
on hand should I need to print them up, resize, or anything else.

The other FCP problem is that I had to chose still image everytime from
the pulldown menu as the default was quicktime movie, and FCP didn't
keep the last settings which I also found strange. (Unless I'm missing
something.)

I'm sure that people have asked for it, I'm just wondering why it isn't
a top priority, given that it's a common, basic task, and a common
feature in other programmes.
