etc. Give them a name, this way you know what the media ﬁles are when you look at them on the disk.

Importing Files

If you already have video clips, audio ﬁles, graphics, etc., you want to use in your project, you can bring them

into Final Cut by choosing File > Import. Browse to the location of your ﬁles and click 'Import.'

Momentarily, they appear in the browser. It’s important to remember that Final Cut doesn’t make a copy of

imported clips, it links to its location on your hard drive. erefore, it’s a good idea to copy all clips you’re

planning to import to a project into your project folder. Video clips that have already been compressed will

require rendering before they can be viewed. Further, you might experience some quality loss due to the

clip’s previous compression.

Editing

Once you have clips imported and/or captured, you are ready to do some editing.

The Browser

Note the browser diﬀerentiates between clips and sequences using diﬀerent icons. You can also create

“bins” (folders in computer parlance) which in turn can hold other bins, clips, or sequences. You can see the

display in the browser as large icons or as a listing. You can change the appearance of the browser by using

the little icons on the upper right hand side (FCE) or right-click on the browser and choose one of the

view options from the pop-up menu. Bins are good for organizing your project, a bin for audio, a bin for b-

roll, a bin for images, etc. Choose File > New > Bin to create a new bin.

Viewing Clips

By double-clicking a clip in the Browser window, it will appear in the Viewer. Drag on the playhead to

scrub on a clip, use the playback controls, or press the arrow keys to move frame by frame.

Click the Mark In/Mark Out buttons to add in/out points. Or use the short-cut keys ‘i’ and ‘o’ respectively.

Once inserted, you can drag to adjust them on the viewer. By clicking the 'Motion' tab in the window, you

can adjust properties such as size, center point, opacity, etc. To refresh the clip, click on the 'Video' tab.

When ready to move a clip onto the Timeline, simply drag and drop it from the Viewer to the Timeline.

You'll notice that while you are dragging the clip onto the timeline, Final Cut will change the pointer to

either a down-pointing arrow or a right-pointing arrow.

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

this is know as an overwrite edit. On the other hand, the 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.

Working in the Timeline

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 ﬁnd 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
