After completing Lesson Five in Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro X (2nd Edition), “Finishing the Rough Cut,” you should be able to complete the following tasks. Four items from this lesson are included in the pool of Level One exam questions; three items from this lesson are included in the pool of Associate Level exam questions. Questions are drawn randomly from the following objectives: • Add markers to project clips • Connect clips to the primary storyline • Replace clips • Overwri
How do you add a marker to a clip in the Timeline and name it?
Skim to where you want to create a marker and choose Mark > Markers > Add Marker, or press M. Double-click a marker to rename it. In the Marker pop-up window, enter a name in the Text field and click Done. Or press Option-M to create a marker and open the Marker window in one step.
How do you find a specific marker in the Timeline?
In the lower-left corner of the Timeline window, click the Timeline Index button. In the Timeline Index, click Tags, then click the Standard Markers button. Click a marker in the list to move the playhead to that marker’s location.
How do you disable a specific project clip?
Control-click a clip and choose Disable from the shortcut menu, or press V. You can also select the clip and choose Clip > Disable.
How do you move the connection line for a clip that’s connected to the primary storyline without moving the clip?
Position the pointer within the clip to the desired location in the Timeline and Command-Option-click to move the clip’s connection line.
How do you create a to-do marker in the Timeline?
Skim to the desired location in the Timeline and press Option- M. In the Marker window, enter a name, click the To Do button, and click Done. The to-do marker appears in red on the clip.
How do you replace a project clip with a different source clip?
Drag a clip from the Event Browser to the clip you want to replace. When the clip receives a white outline, and a green circle with a plus sign appears, release the clip. From the shortcut menu, choose Replace. This new clip replaces the original clip, and the project duration adjusts to accommodate the new clip’s range or duration.
How does an overwrite edit differ from a replace edit?
An overwrite edit overwrites one or more clips in a storyline, starting at a range-selection start point or at the playhead or Skimmer position. Use an overwrite edit when you want to edit media for a specific span of time. With an overwrite edit, the overall project duration remains the same. Unlike overwrite edits, a replace edit works only on whole Timeline clips and can change the project duration.
How do you create an audition in the Timeline?
Drag a clip from the Event Browser to a clip in the Timeline you want to include in the audition. When the clip receives a white outline, and a green circle with a plus sign appears, release the clip. From the shortcut menu, choose Add to Audition. A small spotlight icon appears in the clip-name area to indicate that the clip is part of an audition. To add additional clips, repeat this process.
How do you utilize the audition feature?
Click the Audition spotlight icon to open the Audition window. Press the Right or Left Arrow keys to switch to the next alternate clip and skim through its thumbnail display. Continue to press the Left or Right Arrow keys to switch to alternate audition clips.
How do you create a new storyline that’s connected to your primary storyline?
Select the clips you want to include in the new storyline, Control-click the selection, and choose Create Storyline from the shortcut menu or press Command-G.
