Cut Pro Project

Sequence Preparation

Although not mandatory, it is typically best to set the FCP Sequence Settings to match

the settings of the preponderance of your media, which minimizes rendering. The steps

involved are:

1– Create a New Sequence by pressing + N. A new Sequence will be placed in the

Browser, with the Sequence name highlighted. If desired, edit the default name to

something more meaningful.

2– Double-click on the Sequence icon in the Browser to open the Sequence in the

Timeline.

3– Select the corresponding Sequence tab in either the Timeline window or the

Canvas. This will place the focus on the Sequence.

4– Press + 0 (zero), which will open the Sequence Settings window for the selected

Sequence. At the bottom of the window, select Load Sequence Preset, whereupon

you will be prompted to select a preset from a list. To work natively with XDCAM HD

material, the following presets are available:

FCP can configure the Sequence automatically if you are creating a new sequence

rather than adding material to an existing sequence. For empty Sequences only, FCP

analyzes the first clip that is entered in the Timeline and compares it against the current

Sequence Settings. If there is a mismatch, the following will be displayed:

In most cases, select “Yes.”
