OT: This is just too gorgeous
finalcutpronews: Random Tech: Easter Egg Found in Apple's Final Cut Pro HD
I've been in the same head space - it's late, I'm loopy, I put something weird in there.
Excerpts:
What IS the sound of one luma clamping?
I'm sooo a rock star already.
Drop ribs, not frames.
I'd be less concerned if it weren't for the squeeling animal sound that preceded it.
The best thing about living in San Francisco is that you have time to make a full build on your way home. (I can believe that one, I lived there!)
It's far more satisfying if you throw it at someone.
We're not the engineers you're looking for.
Move along, move along.
Speed kills, but sync maims.
I have deniable plausibility.
When can I do color correction by the pool?
They're not my flying monkeys.
It's like a gob of peanut butter for the roof of your brain.
There is no fire.
That's my fault originally, but many others are to blame since.
That movie had plot holes big enough to drive whole other movies through!
Please refrain from sucking.
I'm highly in favor of putting in code to do stuff.
We're going to leave the underwear in the tutorial.
Ok, Nobody prints, Nobody gets hurt!
Please hold for the next available consumer.
Cows didn't have dynamite and steam shovels.
This is so lame it hurts.
Where's the 'Poof' manager?
It's the international symbol for "Your zipper's open" (must be the FireWire icon? -mike)

Bruce the Wonder Yak has been in FCP since the initial beta programs - that's when I first saw him. he's just been buried deeper and deeper with each version.
Happy to show someone how to call the Yak person-to-person but I'm no one to show and tell :)
Cheers
Philip

Yup...Bruce.
I am amazed that you haven't heard of this before.
Ok...probably not. Everyone who finds him has been sworn to secrecy.

The line about the midnight, lights going out is like a "slap in the face" is toooo funny.
In fact, many of the lines there are hilarious:
"That's my fault originally, but many others are to blame since then.
"I've got my blankie, I'm good to go.
"At least Spock had stone knives and bear skins!"

Google is a beautiful thing:
The egg will present itself if FCP is left alone for several days. There is a way to call upon Bruce, however.
In FCP, press [Option-J]
In the search field in the opened window, type "Bruce".
The search box will have "[shift icon]Bruce". Use the left arrow key to move the cursor left and delete the shift icon. Do not press [Return].
In the main field of the window, a button option will have appeared entitled "Call Bruce". Drag this button option into any window to add it to the customizable toolbars.
Press the button.

OH NO!!! I just tried this in FCP 5.1.2 and it doesn't seem to work. I did this all the time in FCP 4.5 and even the first FCP HD... Can he be gone? Say it ain't so!!
Bruce The Yak's BACK!
1) Open "Videoscope"
2) Place cursor on any scope area, hold down CONTROL key and LEFT-CLICK mouse TWICE in succession (or more) till he appears.
WELCOME BACK!

I love it!!! It reminds me of the After Dark Lawnmower Man screensaver from back in the day mixed with another app from that era - it was a talking something that made comments like Bruce, anyone remember what I'm talking about? Cuz I don't.
