Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 438)

Creating and Deleting Sequences
Before you can edit content together in Final Cut Pro, you need to create a sequence to
edit it into. You can create as many new sequences as you want in a project. If you want
to delete a sequence from your project, it’s easy to do.
To create a new sequence in the current project
1 Do one of the following:
• Choose File > New > Sequence (or press Command-N).
• Control-click in the Viewer, then choose New Sequence from the shortcut menu.
A new sequence appears with the name highlighted, so you can change its name right
away.
Enter a new name
for the sequence.
2 Enter a name for the sequence, then press Enter or Return.
To have Final Cut Pro prompt you for a sequence preset each time you create a new
sequence
1 Choose Final Cut Pro > User Preferences, then click the General tab.
2 Select the “Prompt for settings on New Sequence” option.
For more information about sequence presets, see “Sequence Settings and Presets.”
To determine the default number of tracks for new sequences
1 Choose Final Cut Pro > User Preferences, then click the Timeline Options tab.
2 Under “Default Number of Tracks,” enter the default number of video and audio tracks
you want created.
To delete a sequence from the current project
1 Select the sequence you want to delete in the Browser.
2 Do one of the following:
• Choose Edit > Clear.
