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.
