Each layer appears in the Timeline as a connected clip that you can edit as you would
any other clip. For example, you can animate layers by fading them in or out.

Edit a still image with an external image editing application
You can modify a still image with an external image editing application, and the
changes appear automatically in the clip in Final Cut Pro.
1 To add a still-image clip to the Timeline, follow the steps above.
2 To locate the clip’s source media le in the Finder, Control-click the clip and choose
Reveal in Finder from the shortcut menu (or press Command-Shift-R).
3 Open the source media le in the external image editing application.
4 In the image editing application, modify the image and save the changes.
5 Switch back to Final Cut Pro.
The changes appear automatically in the still-image clip in Final Cut Pro.
You can also create freeze frames from your video clips. For more information, see
“Create freeze frames” on page 335.
Add clips using video-only or audio-only mode
By default, whenever you add clips from an Event to the Timeline, all of the video and
audio components of the Event clip are included in the edit. However, you can also
add just the video portion or just the audio portion of Event clips to the Timeline, even
if the Event clips contain both video and audio.
