58 Part II Learning About the Final Cut Pro Interface

To duplicate a master clip, creating a new master clip instead of an affiliate clip:

1 Select a clip in the Browser.

2 Do one of the following:

Â Choose Modify > Duplicate as New Master Clip.

Â Control-click the clip, then choose Duplicate as New Master Clip from the shortcut menu.

To delete a clip, sequence, or bin from a project:

m Select the item, then press Delete.

Note: Deleting a clip from a project does not delete that clip’s media file from your

hard disk, nor does it delete any other affiliated clips, including sequence clips. When

deleting a master clip, however, Final Cut Pro warns you that affiliated clips will lose the

master clip they refer to. Deleting a master clip turns all affiliated clips into master clips

(in the Browser) or independent clips (in sequences).

Renaming Clips, Sequences, and Bins

You can rename items within Final Cut Pro. Renaming clips does not change the names

of media files on your disk.

To rename clips, sequences, and bins within Final Cut Pro:

1 Select the clip, sequence, or bin.

2 Once the item is selected, click the item’s name, type a new name, then press Return

or Enter.

Renaming a clip automatically renames all affiliated clips in the current project, because

there is only a single Name property shared between a master clip and all of its affiliate

clips. This affects all clips in the Browser and in all sequences within your project. For

more information on master and affiliate clips, see Volume IV, Chapter 4, “Working With

Master and Affiliate Clips.”

Note: Master-affiliate clip relationships exist only within a project, not across

multiple projects.

Enter a new name for the

item in the Name field.
