storylines All instances of the Timeline contain a primary storyline, which is the main
sequence of clips that you build to create your movie. Storylines are sequences of clips
connected to the primary storyline. You can use storylines for the same purposes as
connected clips (such as creating cutaways, compositing titles and other graphics, and
adding sound eects and music).
straight cut A cut in which both the video and audio clip items are cut at the
same time.
subframe A subframe has 1/80 the duration of a video frame and is thus a more
precise unit of reference when editing audio at the sample level.
sync (synchronization) The relationship between the image of a sound being made
in a video clip (for example, a person talking) and the corresponding sound in an
audio clip. Maintaining audio sync is critical when editing dialogue. In Final Cut Pro X,
connected clips and compound clips help maintain sync in your program.
Themes Browser A media browser in Final Cut Pro that provides access to all
transitions and title eects supplied with Final Cut Pro, grouped into related themes.
three-point editing An editing technique in which three out of four edit points are
set in a source selection and a project. When the edit is performed, the fourth edit
point is calculated automatically by Final Cut Pro.
through edit An edit point in which the video or audio content on either side of the
edit is continuous.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) A widely used bitmapped graphics le format,
developed by Aldus and Microsoft, that handles monochrome, grayscale, 8- and 24-bit
color. Can have alpha channels. See also alpha channel.
timecode A signal recorded with your video that uniquely identies each frame. By
default, timecode appears in Final Cut Pro in the format hours: minutes: seconds: frames.
Timecode supports a variety of functions in Final Cut Pro, including Timeline playback,
synchronizing video and audio clip items, navigating through projects in the Timeline,
and moving and trimming clips.
Timeline The bottom portion of the Final Cut Pro window contains the Timeline,
where you create your movie project by adding and arranging clips and making all
your edits.
Timeline Index You can view a text-based, chronological list of the clips, keywords,
and markers in a project using the Timeline Index. When you select an item in the
Timeline Index, the playhead jumps to that item in the Timeline.
tint A color shade added to an image, usually to create an eect, such as sepia.
