Final Cut Lesson 5: Refining Edit Points

The Slide tool affects three clips: the position of the middle clip, and the durations of the adjacent clips. This means that when the Slide tool is applied, the middle clip's position will be adjusted, and the durations of the clips on either side of it will also be affected. This suggests that the Slide tool allows for precise adjustments to the timing and positioning of clips within a sequence.

The Roll tool adjusts one clip's Out point and the adjacent clip's In point. This means that when using the Roll tool, you can change the timing of one clip by adjusting its Out point, while simultaneously adjusting the timing of the adjacent clip by changing its In point. This allows for seamless transitions and precise editing between clips.

Option-dragging a clip allows the user to create a duplicate of a sequence clip and move the duplicate to a different location while keeping the original clip in its original place. This feature is useful when the user wants to reuse a clip in multiple parts of the sequence without having to manually copy and paste it.

Extending changes an edit point in the same way rolling does because both actions involve lengthening the duration of the clip without affecting the timing or position of other clips. Rolling edit points allow for adjusting the in and out points of two adjacent clips while keeping the overall duration the same, similar to how extending an edit point allows for extending the duration of a clip without affecting the surrounding clips.

The Option key is used to shuffle a clip and ripple all other clips in the sequence. This means that when the Option key is pressed while repositioning a clip, it will move the clip without overwriting any other material in the sequence. Instead, it will automatically adjust the positions of the other clips in the sequence to accommodate the moved clip.

The Slip tool adjusts the In and Out points of one clip. This means that when using the Slip tool, you can change the starting and ending points of a single clip without affecting any other clips in the sequence. This allows for precise adjustments to the timing and duration of a specific clip without having to make changes to the entire sequence.

The backslash key "\" allows you to play around the current playhead location.

By control-clicking in the Timeline ruler, the markers will appear at the bottom of the shortcut menu. This means that when the user control-clicks in the Timeline ruler, a menu will appear and the markers will be listed at the bottom of that menu.

The keys and the [ and ] keys are the two sets of shortcut keys that allow you to adjust edit points one frame at a time. These keys are commonly used in video editing software to fine-tune the timing of edits. Pressing the key moves it one frame to the right. Similarly, pressing the [ key moves the edit point one frame to the left, while pressing the ] key moves it one frame to the right.

To adjust one track of a linked clip, you need to turn off the linked selection. This allows you to make changes to a specific track without affecting the other linked tracks. Additionally, you should hold down the Option key before clicking the track to ensure that only that particular track is selected and can be adjusted independently.

The correct answer is Command-click the red out-of-sync indicators on the tracks you want to adjust and choose "Slip into Sync" or "Move into Sync". This is the correct way to resync tracks that have gotten out of sync with each other. By Command-clicking the red out-of-sync indicators, you can access the options to either slip or move the track into sync with the other tracks. This allows you to easily correct any syncing issues in the clip.

The correct answer is in the Sequence Settings window (Sequence>Settings), Command-0. This is where you can change the Timeline setting of the active sequence. By using the shortcut Command-0, you can quickly access the Sequence Settings window and make any necessary adjustments to the timeline settings.
