Final Cut Pro - Module II

II. Manipulating clips: Page 1 of 3

In the previous module, six clips were added to the Timeline window creating a sequence of several animals in water. After playing the clips as a sequence, it became apparent that the order in which the clips were dropped into the sequence should be changed to make a more compelling narrative. In fact, two of the clips don't appear to fit in with the sequence at all.

In this module, users will learn how to change the order of clips in a sequence and delete unwanted clips.

  1. Click on the Bison clip. Its edges turn brown, indicating that it's selected. On the keyboard, press the Delete key.
  2. The clip disappears from the Timeline, but not from the Browser window.
  3. Click on the Tiger clip. Its edges turn brown, indicating that it's selected. From the Edit menu, choose Cut.
  4. The clip disappears from the Timeline, but not from the Browser window. In addition, a copy of this clip is in the computer's memory, and can be "pasted" into a new sequence.
  5. From the File menu, choose New. A list of choices appears. Choose Sequence…
  6. A new Sequence loads into the Browser window, called "Sequence 2". The text is highlighted so it can be renamed immediately. Call this "Land Animals."
