Editing
Editing film-based source clips in Final Cut Pro presents
some unique issues.
Once your source clips have been captured and prepared, you can edit them in
Final Cut Pro. Before you begin editing material that originated on film, you need to be
aware of the following:
 the Easy Setups provided for Cinema Tools users, and the need to set the editing
timebase
 restrictions for using multiple audio and video tracks
 the process for creating effects and transitions for film
 how to track duplicate uses of your source material
About Easy Setups and Setting the Editing Timebase
Cinema Tools installs Easy Setups that were created to make setting up Final Cut Pro
convenient for Cinema Tools users. When you select an Easy Setup in Final Cut Pro, your
sequence presets, capture presets, device control presets, and external video presets
are all set for you so that you don’t have to select them individually. Cinema Tools users
may want to take advantage of these Easy Setups:
 23.98fps from DV PAL: Choose this Easy Setup to capture PAL video and to set the
editing timebase to 23.98 fps.
 24fps from DV PAL: Choose this option to capture PAL video and to set the editing
timebase to 24 fps.
 23.98fps from DV NTSC: Choose this option to capture NTSC video (in the non-drop
frame timecode format) and to set the editing timebase to 23.98 fps.
 24fps from DV NTSC: Choose this option to capture NTSC video (in the non-drop
frame timecode format) and to set the editing timebase to 24 fps.
 DV-NDF: Choose this option to capture NTSC video (in the non-drop frame timecode
format) and to set the editing timebase to 29.97 fps.
Refer to the Final Cut Pro documentation for details on accessing and working with
Easy Setups.
