Final Cut Pro Tutorial 35

Adding the Base Track for Your Sequence

The base track is the primary set of media—clips, audio, still images—for the sequence. Many

times, the base track may be the only one used in a sequence; at other times, you may want

to add other tracks to make multiple layers, creating a ﬁnished sequence that might show

one clip playing inside another clip or a changing collage of still images playing over a clip.

This tutorial creates a sequence with multiple layers. The next several tasks create the

primary layer—the base video and audio tracks for the sequence.

Adding a Clip to Your Sequence

1 Click in the Viewer window to make it active (if necessary).

2 Play “Rob Dialog.mov” by pressing the Space bar or clicking the Play button. Press the Space

bar or click the Play button again to stop play.

3 Add “Rob Dialog.mov” to the sequence by dragging it from the Viewer to the Canvas window.

The Edit Overlay appears in the Canvas window, and the Overwrite section is highlighted

when you drag the image into the window. (Overwrite is the default edit.)

When you release the mouse button, an image from “Rob Dialog.mov” appears in the

Canvas, and the clip’s one video track and two audio tracks appear in the Timeline.
