The Browser is where you organize all of the clips in your project.
How You Use the Browser
The Browser is a powerful tool used to organize your project’s clips. In the Browser, you
can sort, rename, and rearrange hundreds of clips in a multitude of ways. You can also
customize how the Browser displays information about clips to suit your preferred work
habits.
You can think of the Browser as a way of viewing and manipulating your clips as if they
were in a database or spreadsheet. Each row represents a clip or sequence, and each
column represents a property field containing information about that clip or sequence.
Note: For more information about the basic organizational elements of
Final Cut Pro—media files, clips, sequences, bins, and projects—and how they relate to
the Browser, see
“Understanding Projects, Clips, and Sequences.”
