Join Nick Harauz for an in-depth discussion in this video Using Edit > Insert, part of Final Cut Pro X 10.4.9 Essential Training.
- [Instructor] In the last movie, we created a project, and look at the power of using the append edit for placing clips into our timeline. In this movie, we're going to take a look at the insert edit, so you're more than welcome to follow along with the project we created in the last movie, but if you're just tuning in, I suggest that you head to the Projects event, into the Chapter 4 key word collection. You can double click on the chapter 4 underscore three project to have it open in the timeline. What you want to do is get to the beginning of the fifth clip in the timeline.
One way of navigating between clips when you're playhead is selected is to use the down arrow key to move forward to the first frame of each clip, or the next clip in its first frame. You can see this by the forward L. When we find the JM favorite chocolate scene you shot, let's press L to play forward for the clip's entirety. - And one of my favorite and maybe my proudest one is coconut and curry.
And it's a dark chocolate truffle, and it's rolled in roasted coconut. - [Instructor] So, right after he talks about it, there's actually more that Jim has to say. So let's actually press the upward arrow just to move to the first frame of the next clip. We're just going to leave our playhead there. And this is going to be an identifier for where the clip is going to go in the timeline when we insert it using the appropriate button. So let's head back up to the Chocolatary clips event, and press this closed triangle to go into your interviews key word collection.
We're looking for the medium shot, or wider shot of JM's favorite chocolates. So let's find that wider shot, which is right about here. And, if I were to guess, we can kind of start from just before the halfway point in this clip and just listen to what he has to say. So I press the L key to play it forward from this point. - It really is a, the mixture of flavor that you have when you taste it, it's going on and on and on.
- [Instructor] So, I want to capture that moment of what we just played back. So, after he says "on and on and on" I want to press O to make an out point, okay, you can use your left and right arrow keys to perfect that. Now kind of move just to around that point where I started playback, and I'll make a rough initial in point. And then just, press the L key to see if I've captured the precise moment. - It's rolled in roasted coconut. - [Instructor] So, I actually did it a little bit too early. But that's okay, I press the space bar to stop at this point, and then I'm just going to press I to re-mark this clip now, and I'll press the question mark to play this clip from in to out.
- It really is a mixture of flavor that you have when you, you taste it, it's going on and on and on. - [Intructor] This is excellent. This is what we want to bring into the timeline. With our playhead in place and the part of the clip we want selected, you can actually head down here to our edit tools, where we first of all used the append edit in the last movie, here is your option to insert, the shortcut key is W. Let's see what happens when we click this button. You'll see that it basically placed the clip where your playhead was, and the clips that were to the right of the playhead ripple down the timeline.
Just so that you see this action again, I'm going to press command Z to undo, and then press shift command Z to redo that operation, so you can see that rippling down there, of the clips in my timeline. Let's practice insert one more time. One of my favorite shortcut keys in a Final Cut Pro 10 project in the timeline is just shift Z. It fits all of your clips to the window, no matter how zoomed in you are, which we'll get to those shortcut keys in a second. And I'm going to move my playhead a few clips down. I'll press the downward arrow a few times, to just after the second three kinds of chocolate shot.
And, just to play the last bit of what the gentleman says, I'll just move my playhead here actually, a few frames before, and press the space bar. - In the dark, in the chocolate. - [Instructor] So, he says, "in the chocolate." And I just want to pick this dialogue up from after he says that in the close-up, so what we're looking for is the two shots that are labeled three kinds. Now if we look in our interview clips, we should see here that we have the three kinds of chocolate over here, or to capture a moment again.
I want to actually move just right after this moment, but in the close-up. So I'm going to start with my playhead sort of over the middle of the clip. - Then, we have a second kind, is the one we make with the mold like the fish. Then, it's another kind, is made without the mold, it's the one that we cut with the big machine that we saw earlier. - [Instructor] So I'll press K after he says the word earlier, and I'll press O to make an out point. With my playhead in position on the timeline, I'll press, this time the shortcut, which is the W key, to get that clip in place and inserted after the last or second last three kinds of chocolate shot, and let's just sort of move my playhead a little bit earlier.
Press L to see how this is starting to look. - In the dark, in the chocolate flavor. Then, we have a second kind, is the one we make with a mold. - [Instructor] I'll press K to stop, and then I'll press shift Z to fit everything into the frame. And now we're starting to assemble, basically our rough edit of interview footage, almost ready for us to start putting some b-roll into the timeline. That's what we're going to explore here in the next movie, connecting b-roll clips to our interview clips in the primary storyline.
