Final Cut Studio: Faster help via your browser

The html-based documentation in Final Cut Studio applications is convenient to access and simple for Apple to keep updated. However Apple’s Help Viewer can be slow to show pages.

If you have the new Final Cut Studio installed, copy and bookmark these links to access the help systems using your favourite browser. Make sure you select the whole link, this blog can’t display multi-line links. Drag from the start of the link to the following blank line to make sure the whole link is selected – they all end with ‘index.html’
