This document describes the timeline and editing tools used in Final Cut to assemble video clips. It discusses placing clips on the timeline to match lip sync, using two screens to view clips and the assembled timeline, and a toolbar with tools like razor and zoom for editing clips which can then be selected, cropped and dragged to the timeline.

1. This is the timeline on Final Cut we use to put the clips that we have cut. We had to make sure we had the track in time so that the image
moved in cooperation with it so that it fit the lip sync.
These are the two screens I have to view when editing. The
screen on the left allows me to see the clip I am editing at the
time and the screen on the right is for viewing what I’ve put
together on the timeline and analyse the order they come in so
I can see if the sequence makes sense.
This is the toolbar found at the
side of the timeline. It features
tools such as the razor, which
can snip little bits of the track,
and the zoom tool to focus on
something in particular in a
scene.
This small part of the window toolbar allows me to select the parts of the clip I want to use for our video, crop it and place it on the timeline by
clicking on it and dragging it.
