- Double-click the Library icon on your external drive to make sure all is good
- When satisfied all is good, empty Trash to re-gain hard drive space
Final Cut Pro X: Editing to the Storyline

- Insert (W): adds selected clip to main storyline at Skimmer position; splits existing clip not on edit point
- Overwrite (D): replaces content on main storyline at Skimmer position with selected clip
- Controlling what goes onto the storyline
- Audio and Video: Shift-1
- Video only: Shift-2
- Audio only: Shift-3
- Starting the project
- Playhead at beginning of project
- Select audio
- Press "q" [Connect Edit]; Gap clip goes on Main Storyline
- Markers on Music
- 3 Kinds of Markers
- M= Add Marker (or Option-M to add marker and edit Marker)
- Important: Skimmer over track to receive the Marker
- Cutting the Gap clip
- Command-B= Cut at Skimmer position
- Tip: even faster, hold down B key and click on Gap clip where it snaps to marker position
- Filling the Gap clips
- With Skimmer over section you want to select, press X to set storyline in and out points for that clip (look for the handles)
- Select the in point of the clip you want in that Gap clip (out point doesn't matter so long as the clip has enough footage) and press D to perform an overwrite edit
- This is called a 3-point edit
- Rinse and Repeat
For Next Meeting:
- Finish carefully putting Markers on the audio track where you want changes to occur
- Finish Bladeing the Gap clip at Marker positions
- Finishing building the rough cut of video clips over the audio track
- Don't be too concerned if the clip changes aren't perfectly timed; next month we'll fix that.
