Rate clips in Final Cut Pro
If your clips contain sections that you don’t like or might never want to use in a project—
because they’re blurry, for example—you can mark them as rejected. You can easily rate
the clips you like and don’t like as you review them. When you’re ready to edit your project,
you can focus on your best footage by choosing to display only those clips you marked
as favorite. You can also delete your rejected clips’ source media files to free up storage
space.
Rate clips
1. In the browser in Final Cut Pro, select a range, a clip, or multiple clips you want to rate.
2. Do one of the following:
• If you like the selection: Press the F key (or choose Mark > Favorite).
In the browser, a green line appears at the top of frames you’ve marked as favorite.
• If you don’t like the selection: Press the Delete key (or choose Mark > Reject).
A red line appears at the top of frames you’ve marked as rejected.
Note: If you chose Hide Rejected from the Filter pop-up menu at the top of the
browser, clips marked as rejected disappear from view. See Find clips and projects in
Final Cut Pro.
