Final Cut Pro Lesson 2 Building The Rough Cut

To drag an audio clip from the Viewers Audio tab to the Canvas Edit Overlay or to the Timeline, you would use the "Drag Hand" tool. This tool allows you to click and drag the audio clip to the desired location on the Canvas Edit Overlay or the Timeline.

The four methods that can be used to create an overwrite or insert edit are: clicking an edit button, using a keyboard shortcut, dragging a clip from the viewer to the canvas edit overlay, and dragging a clip directly to a track on the timeline.

The correct answer is "Option +, Option -". These keyboard shortcuts are used to zoom in and out of an area of the Timeline. By pressing "Option +" you can zoom in, which will make the timeline appear larger and show more detail. On the other hand, pressing "Option -" will zoom out, making the timeline appear smaller and showing less detail. These shortcuts are commonly used in various software applications and allow users to quickly adjust the level of zoom in the Timeline for better navigation and editing.

To create a bin inside another bin, you can either control-click or right-click a bin and select the option to create a new bin from the shortcut menu.

To deselect a clip in the Timeline, you can either click in the gray area or use the shortcut Command-Shift-A. Clicking in the gray area refers to clicking anywhere outside the selected clip, while Command-Shift-A is a keyboard shortcut that specifically deselects the currently selected clip.

To turn snapping off or on, you can either press the "N" key on the keyboard or click on the snapping button located on the timeline. These options allow you to easily toggle the snapping feature in order to align and position objects precisely in your project.

When making an overwrite edit, the pointer changes into a Down Arrow. This indicates that the clip will replace any existing content in the timeline at the position where it is being dragged. On the other hand, when making an insert edit, the pointer changes into a Right Arrow. This indicates that the clip will be inserted into the timeline, pushing any existing content to the right to make space for the new clip.

To change the track heights in the Timeline, you can use either Shift T or Track Height Control. Shift T is a keyboard shortcut that allows you to quickly adjust the track heights. On the other hand, Track Height Control is a feature or button within the Timeline interface that provides options to change the track heights. Both options provide a convenient way to modify the track heights based on your preference or project requirements.

The track visibility controls in the Timeline patch panel are used to turn off or on the video and sound of individual tracks. These controls allow the user to selectively show or hide specific tracks, controlling their visibility in the timeline. By toggling the visibility of a track, the user can determine whether the video and sound associated with that track will be displayed or played.

When you open a clip in the Viewer, the source tracks from the clip appear as Source Controls in the Timeline patch panel. This means that you can see and control the individual audio and video tracks of the clip in the timeline.

To target a track in the Timeline, you need to drag the source control to the desired destination track. This action allows you to move or place the source control in the specific track you want. By dragging the source control, you can easily target and position it in the track of your choice in the Timeline.

To change a clip's location in the Timeline, you can either drag the clip to a new location or select the clip and enter a move amount. By dragging the clip, you can directly move it to the desired position in the Timeline. Alternatively, you can select the clip and enter a move amount to specify the exact distance and direction you want the clip to be moved in the Timeline.
