The Viewer clip is placed on the track above the target track, starting at the playhead

location. The target track is not changed. If there is no track above the target track, another

one is created.

Insert with Transition editing:

m An Insert with Transition edit is exactly the same as an ordinary Insert edit, but it places

the default transition for the clip into the Canvas, at the beginning of the clip. This is a

quick way to include a frequently used transition in your sequences.

Overwrite with Transition editing:

m An Overwrite with Transition edit is exactly the same as an ordinary Overwrite edit, but it

places the default transition for the clip into the Canvas, at the beginning of the clip. This

is a quick way to include a frequently used transition in your sequences.

When using either of the transition edit types, make sure that there is enough source media

to create the transition. Each source clip must have additional frames outside the deﬁned

edit points equal to half of the duration of the transition.

m Open the shortcut menu on the selected effect in the Browser and choose Make Default

Transition.

Note: When working with multiple windows in the Viewer, Timeline, Canvas, or Browser,

menu commands and keyboard shortcuts apply to the default, or labeled, window. To use

commands and shortcuts in other windows, you must drag the desired window to one of the

main labeled windows.

Editing in the Timeline

m Drag the clip into the Timeline. Final Cut Pro adds the clip to the Timeline where you

drag it in relation to the target tracks. This method performs either an Insert or Overwrite

edit, depending on where you drag the clip.

Drag the clip in the upper third of the track to perform an Insert edit. Drag the clip in the

lower two-thirds of the track to perform an Overwrite edit. The pointer changes to

indicate the type of edit, and the corresponding edit button is highlighted in the Canvas

window.

The smallest timeline track size performs an Overwrite edit by default. To perform an

Insert edit, hold down the Option key.

Note: When you drag multiple clips from the Browser to the Timeline, Final Cut Pro

places the clips in the Timeline based on the Browser sort order. Use this technique to

create a storyboard in the Browser and then drag all of the clips at once into the

sequence. If the Browser tab from which you drag the clips is in icon mode, the clips are

placed in left/right order, from top to bottom.

You can also perform all edits in the following ways:

m By loading a clip in the Viewer and clicking the edit buttons in the Canvas
