Final Cut Pro X for Final Cut Pro 7 Editors

Getting Started

Projects

Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Pro X use dierent terms for basic organizing concepts.

In particular, the term project has very dierent meanings in Final Cut Pro 7 and

Final Cut Pro X.

Project Library

Sequence Project

• In Final Cut Pro 7, the basic le type used is called a project. Projects contain clips,

which are the connections to the source media and can be organized into bins.

Projects also contain sequences, which are displayed in the Timeline and contain your

editing decisions.

• In Final Cut Pro X, the basic le type used is called a library. Like Final Cut Pro 7

projects, libraries contain clips, which are the connections to the source media.

Libraries also contain projects, which (like sequences in Final Cut Pro 7) are displayed

in the Timeline and contain your editing decisions.

• The primary dierence (other than the nomenclature) is that in Final Cut Pro X, there is

another level of hierarchy, called events. Events are similar to bins in Final Cut Pro 7, but

within an event you can add several other types of powerful organizational groupings

(explained in more detail in Organization). All clips and projects are contained in events.
