Break apart an audition
You can break apart an audition to convert its contents to individual clips in the timeline.
(This option is not available for auditions in the browser.)
1. Select an audition in the Final Cut Pro timeline.
2. Choose Clip > Break Apart Clip Items (or press Shift-Command-G).
The audition selected in the timeline is replaced with the individual items that made up
the audition.
You can also break apart compound clips, storylines, and standard clips. See Create
compound clips in Final Cut Pro and Add storylines in Final Cut Pro.
Add clips to auditions in Final Cut Pro
When building auditions to try out different clips or versions of a clip with different effects,
you can add and remove clips at any time. In the browser and the timeline, you can add
new clips to the audition as well as duplicate clips within an audition. When an audition in
the timeline contains the clips you want to try out, you can use the audition to preview the
clips or effects in your project.
Add clips to an audition in the browser
In Final Cut Pro, do any of the following:
• Add new clips to an audition in the browser: Select the audition and the clips you want
to add to it, then choose Clip > Audition > Create (or press Command-Y).
• Duplicate a clip within an audition in the browser: Click the icon in the top-left corner
of the audition to open the Audition window, select the clip you want to duplicate, then
click Duplicate.
A new version of the selected clip appears in the Audition window.
