• Move a storyline by dragging it: Click the gray border at the top of the storyline, then
drag the storyline left or right to connect it to a different point along the primary

Use the precision editor in Final Cut Pro
You can fine-tune the edit point between two clips in the timeline using the precision
editor, which provides an expanded view of the clips on either side of the edit point as
well as the unused portions of each clip. You can trim or extend the end of one clip and
the beginning of the next, either separately or together. As you make changes, you can
instantly see how your edits affect the cut or transition from one clip to the next.
You can also see a “two-up” display in the viewer as you trim edit points in the timeline.
See
Show trimming details in the Final Cut Pro viewer.
1. In Final Cut Pro, click the Tools pop-up menu in the top-left corner of the timeline and
