Final Cut Pro X Level One and Associate-Level Exam Preparation Guide 7. What happens when you slip a clip? 8. Which clips are altered when you slide a clip, and how are they affected? 9. How do you open the Precision Editor to see an expanded view of the clips on either side of the edit point as well as the clip handles? 10. How do you view the detailed trimming feedback? Answers 1. Select the clip, and choose Edit > Delete, or press the Delete key. The selected clip is removed from the Timeline and any clips to the right of the selection ripple to close the region. 2. Place the playhead where you want to insert the gap, and choose Edit > Insert Gap, or press Option-W. A three-second gap clip is inserted into the Timeline by default, and you can trim its duration. 3. From the Tools pop-up menu, choose Range Selection, or press R. Then drag in the Timeline to make your selection. 4. Rippling adjusts a clip’s Start or End point without leaving a gap. The duration change ripples outward, moving all subsequent clips earlier or later in the Timeline. Dragging to the right lengthens the outgoing clip, so clips to the right of the edit ripple accordingly and increase the project duration. 5. Press the . (period) and , (comma) keys to nudge right and left one frame at a time. Press Shift-. (period) and Shift- , (comma) to nudge right and left 10 frames at a time. 6. A roll trim adjusts the outgoing clip’s End point and the incoming clip’s Start point without changing the duration of the project. 7. A slip trim adjusts the Start and End points of a single clip without changing the duration of the project. This edit is appropriate when you like the clip’s length and Timeline location, but want to use a different selection of the media. 8. Sliding affects the position of the middle clip, and the duration of the two surrounding clips. When you slide a clip, you don’t change its length or the selection of original content. You change only its location in the project. 9. In the toolbar, from the Tools pop-up menu, choose the Select tool or Trim tool and double-click the edit point you want to trim in the Timeline. Alternatively, select an edit point and press Control-E. 10. Choose Final Cut Pro > Preferences, or press Command-, (comma), and click Editing. In the Timeline section, select the “Show detailed trimming feedback” checkbox. The two-up display appears in the Viewer when you use a supported edit type or trim in the Precision Editor. 22
