Almos every buon and menu in Final Cu Pro Viewer or he Canvas window has a corresponding

Keyboard editingEvery power user knows ha one o he bes ways o work eicienly in a program is o know he

Timeline editingMany Final Cu Pro ediors preer o edi using he inuiive imeline mehod. Adobe Premiere Pro

is also well suied o his approach. Paching racks or ediing is done in much he same way in

boh Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cu Pro. Alhough imeline icons are dieren in he wo

applicaions, hey have idenical uncionaliy.

Dragging clips around in a imeline o rearrange hem is similar in Final Cu Pro and Adobe

Premiere Pro, wih a ew dierences. Jus as in Final Cu Pro, dragging a clip rom one spo in he

imeline o anoher in Adobe Premiere Pro lis i (leaving a gap) rom is original locaion and

clip (rippling he gap) rom is original locaion and insers i, sliding all clips o he righ o ha

poin o laer in he edi. his is similar o he Opion-drag behavior in Final Cu Pro.

Deleing a clip in he imeline and rippling he sequence works a bi dierenly in Final Cu Pro and

Adobe Premiere Pro. Boh allow you o selec a segmen in he imeline and press he Delee key,

leaving a gap in your sequence. In Final Cu Pro, you can eliminae he gap and ripple he res o he

sequence by selecing he segmen and pressing Shi+Delee. o do his in Adobe Premiere Pro,

delee he segmen wih he Delee key, and hen righ-click or Conrol-click on he gap and choose

Ripple Delee.

rimming in he imeline is also a similar procedure in boh applicaions. Hover over a ransiion,

and hen when he cursor changes o a red bracke icon, you can drag o rim eiher side o he

ransiion. his will leave a gap beween he clips equal o he amoun you dragged. I you wan o

ripple he rim in Adobe Premiere Pro (closing he gap auomaically), simply Command-drag. his

is similar o using he Ripple ool (rr) in Final Cu Pro.

Oher ools or rimming, including he ripple, roll, slip, and slide ools, work similarly. Use he

Opion+. In he mixer, he icons are airly sel-explanaory and similar o hose in Final Cu Pro.

One small dierence is ha i you wan o record auomaic keyrames and adjusmens, insead o 

using he small Record Audio Keyrames buon as in Final Cu Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro allows you

o enable recording on speciic racks in speciic ways. hese are accessed rom he Auomaion

Mode pull-down menus below he rack names or each ader. here are several choices:

• Read (default): Adjuss a rack opion (such as volume) aecing he enire rack uniormly.

• Off : Ignores he rack’s sored seings during playback. his choice allows emporary changesin levels, bu each ime you replay, he seings are reurned o he deaul levels.

Many Final Cu Pro users preer o adjus levels by rubber banding in he imeline. I’s basically he

same in Adobe Premiere Pro, wih a ew dierences:

. Expand an audio rack’s view by clicking he riangle nex o he audio rack name.

2. Adjus he overall level o he rack by dragging he yellow line in he audio rack o he clip up

or down.

3. o add keyrames, click on he small diamond icon in he audio rack’s header (rack paching

ino area), and hen selec one o he ollowing opions rom he pull-down menu.

• Show Clip Keyframes: Animaes audio parameers or a clip, including volume level.

• Show Clip Volume: Changes only a clip’s volume level.

• Show Track Keyframes: Animaes audio rack parameers, including volume, mue, and

balance.

• Show Track Volume: Changes only a rack’s volume level.

Insead o Opion-clicking o add a keyrame, Adobe Premiere Pro uses Command-click. o adjus
