Final Cut Pro X for Final Cut Pro 7 Editors

• You can also create compound clips in the Browser, before making a single edit to

your project. You can double-click any compound clip to open it in its own Timeline

and make changes, even before you add it to the project.

• Compound clips are “active,” which means that you can make changes to a parent

compound clip in the Browser, and the changes automatically appear in all projects

where that compound clip is used. This can be a huge timesaver when conforming

changes to multiple projects.

Primary Video and Audio Sync

• Just as linked audio remains synced in Final Cut Pro 7, primary audio and video are

always in sync in Final Cut Pro X. Final Cut Pro X oers the additional advantage of

displaying primary audio and video together as part of the same clip. This makes it

impossible to move audio and video out of sync by mistake.

• Just as in Final Cut Pro 7, you can alter the timing of the video and audio components

of a clip to create split edits, so that the video plays with other audio in the Timeline, or

vice versa. Double-click the audio section of a clip to display audio and video separately.

Use the Trim tool to separately adjust the start or end point of the video or audio.

• You can view audio and video separately in the same clip in the Timeline by

expanding all clips that have both audio and video, or just clips that have split edits.

You can also apply and adjust audio eects with just the selected clip.

• As in Final Cut Pro 7, you can deliberately move audio out of sync in Final Cut Pro X if

you wish. Control-click the clip and choose Open in Timeline from the shortcut menu

to open the clip in its own Timeline. Then slip audio with sample-level accuracy.

• In certain cases, you may want to break apart the audio and video in the Timeline.

You can do this using the Detach Audio command.
