Compound clips overview
With Final Cut Pro, you can create compound clips, which allow you to group any
combination of clips in the Timeline or the Event Browser and nest clips within
other clips.
Compound clips can contain video and audio clip components, clips, and other
compound clips. Eectively, each compound clip can be considered a mini project,
with its own distinct project properties. Compound clips function just like other
clips: you can add them to your project, trim them, retime them, and add eects
and transitions.
You can open any clip in the Timeline to edit its contents. When you add media (clips)
to the contents of a standard clip, the clip automatically becomes a compound clip.
Icons appear on compound clips in the Event Browser and the Timeline.

Compound clips have many uses. You can:
Simplify a complicated project by creating a separate compound clip for each Â
major section.
Synchronize a video clip with one or more audio clips and then combine the clips Â
into a compound clip, to avoid inadvertently moving them out of sync.
Open any clip, edit its contents in the Timeline, and then close it. Â
