Auditions overview
In Final Cut Pro you can organize related clips into sets, called auditions, from which you can
choose one clip to use. You can create an audition composed of dierent clips to try out multiple
takes, or you can create an audition composed of multiple versions of the same clip to preview
dierent eects.
An audition’s lmstrip displays the currently selected clip, called the pick. All other clips in the
audition are referred to as alternates. You can open an audition to see the selected clip and
the alternates.

Selected clip
Auditions allow you to preserve your alternate edits without aecting the other clips in the
Timeline. When you’re not auditioning the clips in an audition, the audition functions like an
individual clip. You can trim an audition, apply transitions between auditions and other clips, and
add keywords and markers. You can keep your audition containing your alternate clips for as
long as is necessary.
After you’ve reviewed the clips in the audition and decided which one works best in your project,
you can nalize the audition, which dissolves it and leaves the pick as an individual clip in the
Timeline. The pick retains the audition’s position in the Timeline and all keywords and markers
applied to the audition.
Note: Auditions appear in the Browser and Timeline as clips with an Audition icon in the
upper-left corner.
