This is Ashley Kennedy from Premiumbeat.com here to show you\u00a0how to mark and edit clips into the timeline in <strong>Final Cut Pro X<\/strong>, a process\u00a0that is greatly changed from Final Cut Pro 7. \u00a0So in Final Cut Pro 7, we\u00a0had the Viewer which was located about right here and the Browser, which was located here and the timeline which was right here. Now in Final Cut\u00a0Pro X, we don&#8217;t have the Viewer, we have the <strong>Event Library<\/strong>, where we have all of our clips and we&#8217;re going to be previewing them over here. And I\u00a0want to talk about exactly how to <strong>mark clips and then how to edit them into the timeline<\/strong> using some techniques we knew in final Cut Pro 7 and a couple\u00a0of new ones.<\/p>\n<p>So first of all, I want to make sure that we&#8217;re aware of what the Playhead,\u00a0is and what our Skimmer is. As you see here, we have the Playhead right here and the picture likewise shows here, and if I grab my mouse through\u00a0this clip without clicking down, just hovering this is the Skimmer, so I&#8217;m actually able to preview this clip without the Playhead moving. And I can\u00a0then go on to other clips and sort of get in a good idea of the footage that I have. But my Playhead doesn&#8217;t actually move. If I drag my mouse\u00a0away, the image that we see is still the Playhead image. OK. So how do we <strong>mark clips<\/strong>? Well, as you see here, we have a yellow outline around this\u00a0clip and this yellow outline is going to dictate exactly what part of the clip is edited in the timeline. Now you might think well, I have to drag\u00a0this and then drag this and then that&#8217;s going to be the part of the clip\u00a0that I edit into the timeline. But in my opinion, there&#8217;s actually a better\u00a0way.<\/p>\n<p>You can navigate through this clips in the same way that you did in <strong>Final\u00a0Cut Pro 7 using JKL<\/strong>. If I hit L once I go forward in real time. If I hit J once I go backwards in real time. If I hit K, I pause. And then I and O, my\u00a0In and Out points, allow me to mark the clip. So I&#8217;m going to go forward with L, and then when I want to mark my endpoint I&#8217;m going to hit I, as I\u00a0just did and when I want my out point, I&#8217;m going to let it hit the second reeling here, I&#8217;ll hit O. So now I&#8217;ve marked my clip using JKL and I and O,\u00a0which is something we&#8217;re familiar with. And I can always play this from in to out using the forward slash key, which is the same key that the question\u00a0mark is on. Let&#8217;s go ahead and select another clip and go over a couple more things about marking clips. Now, if I&#8217;d like to see this clip in\u00a0greater detail, I can either drag this to the left, which will then turn my\u00a0thumbnail view into more of a film strip view. Or I can come over to List\u00a0View and you can see this clip is selected and I have the ability to look at my entire clip by Skimming, or by using JKL. And so, if I go forward\u00a0with L and mark an end, remember I can go forward faster by hitting L again, and my out point with O. If I want to go to my endpoint, I can press\u00a0Shift I. If I want to go to my Outpoint, I can press Shift O.<\/p>\n<p>All right. Now let&#8217;s talk about how to get these clips into the timeline. \u00a0Now, from Final Cut Pro 7, we&#8217;re used to the commands <strong>Insert and Overwrite<\/strong>, which are both available in Final Cut Pro X. There&#8217;s a couple more that\u00a0we&#8217;ll go over as well. To find all of the available commands, you can go up to the Edit menu and then right here in the middle. We&#8217;re going to look at\u00a0these four. <strong>Connect to primary storyline<\/strong>, which keyboard shortcut is Q. Insert is W. Append the storyline is E. And Overwrite is D. So we&#8217;re already familiar\u00a0with Insert and Overwrite, we just have a couple more to go over. Three of these have user interface shortcuts right here. This is Connect to\u00a0storyline, this is Insert and this is Append. OK. So we&#8217;ve marked our clip. We&#8217;re ready to insert it into the timeline. Again, the keyboard shortcut\u00a0for insert is W so I&#8217;m just going to press the W key, and we have both the\u00a0<strong>video and the audio edited into the timeline<\/strong>. And the reason that we have\u00a0both video and audio edited is that<strong> All is selected<\/strong> in this drop down instead of video only or audio only.<\/p>\n<p>So let me just load another clip and let&#8217;s mark this one. Go ahead and mark\u00a0an end point and forward with L and my out point, and we&#8217;ll go ahead and press W again. Again, if you&#8217;re at the end of the sequence and insert just\u00a0adds material to the end. But if we&#8217;re in between two clips or at the\u00a0beginning of the timeline, then I load another clip, and we&#8217;ll mark an in\u00a0and an out. when we&#8217;re insert in this case by pressing W, the clip gets\u00a0inserted and everything else gets pushed downstream. If I want to move\u00a0between clips and snap to the transitions between my edits, I can just\u00a0press the down arrow key and the up arrow key. So if I want to insert a\u00a0shot into the second and third shot, I can just come up, grab another clip,\u00a0mark my in and my out, and press W to insert. OK. So we&#8217;ve added four shots\u00a0fairly quickly by using insert and the next thing I want to show you is how\u00a0to append. OK. So as you see, my playhead is right here in between shots 3\u00a0and 4. And, by the way, if you hear the skimming as you go through, that\u00a0means audio skimming is on. You can always turn it off by going up to view and unchecking audio skimming. So now when we go through timeline, we don&#8217;t\u00a0hear anything. So we&#8217;re in between clips 3 and 4 and let&#8217;s load another one and mark in, and an out. And instead of having to bring the playhead to the\u00a0end of the sequence, I can just press append and it will automatically go there. So again, our keyboard shortcut for append is E and you can think of\u00a0End for E and so I&#8217;m just going to hit E and even though my playhead was right here, the shot got appended to the sequence and so it&#8217;s at the end.<\/p>\n<p>So that one&#8217;s fairly simple. Let&#8217;s now talk about <strong>overwrite<\/strong>, which, again,\u00a0was a Final Cut Pro 7 function. Usually, an overwrite is executed by performing a three point edit and usually two of those edit points are in\u00a0the timeline. So if I wanted to put a shot that starts here, I can mark an in and if I wanted to end here, I can mark an out and I want the shot to\u00a0overwrite a portion of the sequence. I&#8217;ll go ahead and switch back to my thumbnail view and we&#8217;ll go ahead and overwrite a portion of this shot into\u00a0this sequence. Again, three marks makes an edit, so we already have two marks in the sequence and we&#8217;ll just mark an endpoint right here and we&#8217;ll\u00a0perform our overwrite which again, the keyboard shortcut is D. So I&#8217;ll press the D key and now you can see that that shot was overwritten right\u00a0here in the timeline, where I had my in and out point set. So it basically\u00a0behaves the same, once you get the hang of putting your in and out points\u00a0in your clips in the event library, it&#8217;s pretty similar. Now, you may look at this and say &#8220;There&#8217;s only one track. In Final Cut Pro 7, I was used to\u00a0having many, many tracks.&#8221; Well, it is true that <strong>Final Cut Pro X<\/strong> does function within the parameters of this one track. But, without getting too\u00a0deep into that, what I do want to show you is how you can do video only edits, audio only edits and how to put video over audio.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s just say we want to take the audio from this shot here and put the\u00a0video of another shot over it. \u00a0I&#8217;m just going to select the portion of this shot, change my edit type to audio only and then I&#8217;ll just append this\u00a0to the timeline by pressing E and let&#8217;s go ahead and grab this shot here and we&#8217;ll mark the portion of this shot that we want to use. OK. And we&#8217;ll change this to video only and then I need to bring my playhead back to the beginning of this shot and instead of inserting or overwriting, what I&#8217;m\u00a0going to do is choose <strong>connect to primary storyline,<\/strong> or Q. So if I hit Q, you can see that this shot is now connected to this shot. I can go ahead\u00a0and drag this in so they&#8217;re the same length. But the cool part about this is that when I move one, the other one goes with it, so they are connected\u00a0or married. And because <strong>Final Cut Pro X<\/strong> does use this one track, you can see why this command is important. OK then. So we&#8217;ve covered <strong>marking our\u00a0clips with in and out points<\/strong>, as well as<strong> inserting clips<\/strong>, <strong>appending clips to the end of the sequence, overwriting clips<\/strong> and <strong>connecting clips to the\u00a0primary storyline<\/strong>. Final Cut Pro X editing techniques do go much deeper than this but this gives you a good base to build from going forward. OK.\u00a0Thanks so much for watching.
