You can adjust the appearance of filmstrips in the Event Browser and the Timeline so that it’s
easier to make selections. For example, expanding the width of a filmstrip (by showing shorter
durations per thumbnail) helps you make more precise selections.

Select one or more clips
Clips represent your video, audio, and graphics files and allow you to work with your media in
Final Cut Pro without changing the files themselves. To add clips to your project, rearrange them,
or trim them, you first need to select them. You can select a single clip or multiple clips at a time.
Selecting multiple clips allows you to move them as a group within your project, or from one
event to another. It’s also useful if you’ve made adjustments to a clip and you want to paste the
same adjustments onto several other clips.
