Manage compound clips
There are many ways to manage and edit compound clips. For example, you can open up
compound clips (and edit their component parts) in a separate Timeline. You can easily navigate
up and down a series of compound clip levels. And you can open and edit a compound clip from
within an event.
Note: When you edit the contents of a compound clip (for example, by trimming or adding
eects to clips within the compound clip) you are in fact editing all instances of that compound
clip, including the parent compound clip in the Browser. Any changes you make to the internal
parts of the compound clip are inherited by all of its child clips, in all projects. These changes can
include added or deleted clips, trimming adjustments, and video or audio eects such as color
correction, clip speed retiming, and so on. For example, if you delete a title clip from a parent
compound clip, the title clip is deleted from all child compound clips.
Open a compound clip for editing
Do one of the following:
m Select a compound clip in the Timeline or the Browser, and choose Clip > Open in Timeline.
m Double-click the video portion of a compound clip in the Timeline or the Browser.
m Click the compound clip icon in the upper-left corner of a compound clip in the Timeline.
The compound clip opens in a new Timeline view, with its contents ready for editing.

Note: Because editing in Final Cut Pro is nondestructive, any changes you make to the contents
of standard or compound clips do not aect the corresponding source media les, which remain
unchanged on your computer’s hard disk. For more information about the dierence between
media les and clips, see Media les and clips on page 22.
