Three-point editing overview
Three-point editing allows you to use start and end points in the Event Browser and
the Timeline to specify the duration of a clip and where it should be placed in the
Timeline. Three-point editing gets its name from the fact that only three edit points are
necessary to determine the portion of the source clip to use and where to place that
clip in the Timeline. Final Cut Pro infers the fourth edit point automatically. The result
of the edit depends on which three points are set in the Event Browser and in the
Timeline: two start points and one end point or one start point and two end points.
