Test different B-roll shots, different reads of the same lines, different color grades for the same shot, or different effects. With the unique Auditions feature, you can collect multiple alternative shots at a single location in the timeline and quickly cycle through them in context. Then skim entire clips and adjust edit points with a click. The Precision Editor expands your view of the edit point so you can see both used and unused portions of your clips. If you need additional control, double-click an edit to open the Precision Editor and make trims directly in the timeline.

The Magnetic Timeline improves on traditional ways of trimming, including ripple, roll, slip, and slide edits. Step into a Compound Clip or expand it at any time to make changes to individual elements.

Or use a Compound Clip to add an effect to multiple shots with a click.

Reuse a Compound Clip in other projects - for example, for a unique sound design with layered sound effects. This removes clutter from the timeline and creates a simplified version of the segment that’s easy to move or duplicate. With Compound Clips, you can group a complex set of elements and collapse them into a single clip. Final Cut Pro automatically creates a Clip Connection when you drag a secondary element to the timeline. Interactive animations show you exactly what’s happening in the timeline as you work, so you can easily try out new ideas.Ĭlip Connections are an easy way to place clips such as B-roll, sound effects, and music in the timeline so that they all move together as you make changes - even in the most complex projects. Similarly, clips move out of the way to avoid clip collisions and sync problems, so you can focus on creating your story. Assemble shots with ease as clips “magnetically” close up to eliminate unwanted black gaps in the timeline. With a visual simplicity that reveals powerful professional tools just when you need them, the Magnetic Timeline in Final Cut Pro offers an exceptionally fluid, flexible way to edit. A new, dynamic editing interface lets you experiment freely while working with extraordinary speed and precision. Rebuilt from the ground up to meet the needs of today’s creative editors, Final Cut Pro breaks free from the restrictions of old-fashioned timeline tracks.
