Example: Make a three-point edit with multiple clips
You can make three-point edits with multiple clips at a time.
1. In Final Cut Pro, select two or more clips in the browser (don’t select a range within a
single clip).
For information about selecting multiple clips, see Select clips in Final Cut Pro.
2. In the timeline, define a destination start point by positioning the skimmer at the
location in your project where you want the clips to start.
3. To add the selected clips to the project using an overwrite edit, press D.
The entire group of clips selected in the browser is edited into the project. The clips are
added in the order in which you selected them.
Because you used an overwrite edit, any clip items already in the project are overwritten by
the clips selected in the browser, for the duration of the browser clips.
You can also make a three-point edit involving multiple clips in the timeline. To select a
range across multiple clips in the timeline, you use the Range Selection tool or the I and
O keys. See Select ranges in Final Cut Pro.
