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’)

Adding Filters

To add a ﬁlter or transition to a clip, double-click to choose it and then browse to the ﬁlter by going to

Eﬀects > Video Filters or Eﬀects > Video Transitions. Notice the diﬀerent categories of video ﬁlters and

transitions. Try adding a cross-dissolve between two video clips. Most ﬁlters require that the clips being

manipulated be rendered (shortcut ‘R’ or choose Sequence > Render) prior to playback, depending on the

speed of your computer.

Three Point Editing

Experienced video editor like to use a quick way to insert or replace clips in the Final Cut Pro timeline

without the hassle of moving, removing, etc., other clips like we’ve been doing with click, drag, pointing,

resizing, and cutting with the razor blade. e way you do this is to set three out of four of the two 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 ﬁt-

to-ﬁll 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 ﬁlm and the tactile experience

that goes with that) others prefer this approach. Final Cut let’s 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.

Keyframes

Suppose you wanted to create an eﬀect in which a ﬁlter was gradually applied to a clip over a certain period

of time. How would you do it? With keyframing. For example, suppose you wanted to apply a blur ﬁlter

and, over the course of ﬁve seconds, transform an image from crisp to blurry.

First, double-click to select the clip (in the Timeline or Browser) and apply the ﬁlter by choosing Eﬀects >

Video Filters > Blur> Soft Focus. en, click the Filter tab in the Viewer to reveal the ﬁlter's control panel.

Notice the button directly next to the Radius slider.

In the Timeline, move your playhead to the start of the clip (make sure snapping is enabled). en, back up

in the Viewer, click the Insert/Delete Keyframe button (looks like a little diamond). A dot appears in the

Filters tab -- the is the keyframe. Move the amount slider down to '0.' en, back in the Timeline, move

the playhead to the very end of the clip, and add another Keyframe. Move the Amount slider back up to

100.
