e down-arrow indicates that the clip will be inserted directly into whatever other contents are present, this is

know as an overwrite edit. e right-pointing arrow indicates an insert edit, which causes the clips beyond the

insertion point to be oﬀset from the current position. Experiment with this, the best way to get a feel for the

interface is to drive it and do some experimentation.

Editing

Since we’re getting started, we’ll focus on a basic set of tools, and then add more tools to our toolkit later on.

You will nd there are other ways to get clips into the timeline (three point editing) but we’ll bypass that for

now. ere are many tools available for manipulating video and audio in the timeline, and we’ll bypass most

those for now as well.

For now, choose two clips to work with, open them in the Viewer, set in and out points, and then drag them to

the timeline. Practice doing the following with the clips:

•

using the default pointer tool (shortcut ‘a’) change the in and out by dragging the start and and end of

the clips,

•

using the razor blade tool (shortcut ‘b’)

•

note that by default, video and audio tracks within a clip are ‘linked’ together. to unlink them, select

the clip with the pointer tool and then choose Modify > Link, (shortcut ‘L’) which will either unlink

linked items or link unlined items. Note that even after unlinking video from audio, that the two

audio tracks travel together. is happens when they are a stereo pair, you can change this by choosing

Modify > Stereo Pair (shortcut ‘L’) which will either unlink an existing stereo pair or link together as

a stereo pair two independent audio clips.

•

If you want to close the gap between two clips, choose Sequence > Close Gap (shortcut ‘^G’) or click

on the gap and hit the delete key.

Adding Filters

To add a lter to a clip, double-click it in

the timeline and then browse to the lter

by going to Eﬀects > Video Filters. To add a

transition, click the line at the start or

end of a clip, and go to Eﬀects > Video

Transitions. Try adding a cross-dissolve

between two video clips. Most lters

require that the clips being manipulated be rendered (shortcut ‘R’ or choose Sequence > Render) prior to

playback, depending on the speed of your computer. You can modify parameters of an eﬀect by clicking the

‘Filters’ tab in the Viewer.

Three Point Editing

Experienced video editors use a quick way to insert or replace clips in the Final Cut timeline without the hassle

of moving and removing other clips like we’ve been doing. e way you do this is to set three out of four in/out

points on the source clip and in/out point on the Timeline. en drag a clip from the Browser to the Canvas

window. A colorful pop-up clip tool appears giving you some choices of what to do.

Use this in tandem with the playhead on the Timeline or in and out points on the Timeline to insert a clip

between two others, overwrite or replace a selected clip in the Timeline, superimpose clips, or perform a t-to-

ll in an empty area between clips. Experiment with this to get a feel for it. Some people prefer the click-drag-

cut-resize approach (which is like the good old days of splicing lm and the tactile experience that goes with

that), and others prefer this approach. Final Cut lets you work either way.

The Wireframe

You can enable the Wireframe in either the Viewer or the Canvas windows by clicking on the wireframe icon on

the top right. e wireframe provides a graphic way to move, re-size, crop and rotate clips directly in the

Canvas.
