Note: In the case of Replace from Start, if the source clip selection is a range
selection with a shorter duration than that of the target clip and there is sucient
extra media, Final Cut Pro extends the source selection to match the target clip
duration. The resulting storyline duration does not change.
The source clip selection appears in the Timeline, in place of the original clip.
Add and edit still images
In Final Cut Pro, you can add and edit a variety of still-image formats in your projects,
including photos and graphics les.
Add a still image to the Timeline
You can add still images to your project from the Event Browser or the Photos Browser.
m To add a still image from the Event Browser: Import the still image into an Event, and
then select all or part of the still-image clip and drag it from the Event Browser to
the Timeline.
Note: Once a still image is imported, it functions like any other clip in Final Cut Pro.
You can use any of the techniques described in this chapter to add still-image clips to
the Timeline.
m To add a still image from the Photos Browser: Open the Photos Browser, select a still
image, and drag it directly into the Timeline.
The default duration for still images is 4 seconds, but you can change this default
setting in the Editing pane of Final Cut Pro preferences.
There is no limit on the duration of a still-image clip. To adjust the duration of a still-
image clip in the Timeline, use any of the trimming techniques described in this
chapter. To adjust the duration of multiple still-image clips at once, select the clips and
choose Modify > Change Duration (or press Control-D).
Add layered graphics les to the Timeline
You can add layered graphics les, such as Adobe Photoshop (PSD) les, created with
another image editing application to the Timeline.
1 Import the layered graphics le into an Event.
Important: If the layered graphics le has a transparent background, make sure your
project’s render format is set to Apple ProRes 4444 to preserve the transparency when
rendering. See “Modify a project’s name and properties” on page 94.
2 In the Event Browser, Control-click the layered graphics image and choose Open in
Timeline from the shortcut menu.
