Final Cut Pro X for Final Cut Pro 7 Editors

Eects

• The Eects tab in the Browser in Final Cut Pro 7 is replaced by skimmable thumbnails

available in various Final Cut Pro X media browsers, which you can access by clicking

buttons on the right side of the toolbar.

• In Final Cut Pro X, you can preview any eect without applying it. To preview, just skim

across the eect’s thumbnail. You see the eect previewed in the thumbnail and with

the selected clip in the Viewer.

• Double-click the eect thumbnail in the Eects Browser to apply the eect to a

selected clip, or drag the eect directly to a clip.

• Copying and pasting attributes works the same way as in Final Cut Pro 7. Select

a clip in the Timeline with eects you want to copy, and choose Edit > Copy

(or press Command-C). Then select the destination clip or clips and choose

Edit > Paste Attributes (or press Command-Shift-V). In the window that appears,

select the attributes you want to paste.

Transitions

• In Final Cut Pro X, you can apply a transition from the Transitions Browser by dragging

the transition between two clips in the Timeline, or you can double-click the transition

to apply it to both ends of a selected clip.

• Press Command-T, just as in Final Cut Pro 7, to apply a cross dissolve between clips

(when an edit point is selected) or to both ends of selected clips.

• To adjust the duration of a transition, drag either edge of the transition, or select the

transition, press Control-D, and type the precise duration.

• As in Final Cut Pro 7, you can adjust the transition’s parameters directly in the

Inspector in Final Cut Pro X. Each transition shows relevant parameters like center

point and amount.

Using Keyframes

Just as in Final Cut Pro 7, you can keyframe any parameter in any eect in Final Cut Pro X.

• Position the skimmer or playhead where you want to add a keyframe and press

Option-K, or Option-click in the Animation Editor to add a new keyframe.

• You can also add keyframes in the Inspector. Position the skimmer or playhead where

you want to add the keyframe, and select the parameter you want to keyframe. Click

the keyframe icon to add a keyframe, or choose Add Keyframe from the pop-up menu

to the right of the icon.

• For parameters with percentage values, you can adjust the value of the keyframe in

the Animation Editor. You can adjust values for other parameters in the Inspector.
