3 Choose a default Event for the project.
If you drag any media les from the Finder directly to the project’s Timeline, or add
media to the project from one of the media browsers, that media is automatically
added to the project’s default Event.
4 If you want to further customize settings for your project, click Use Custom Settings.
Note: Final Cut Pro shows the Automatic Settings by default, but it will remember the
settings you used last, so this step may be unnecessary.
5 If you want your project’s timecode to start at a value other than 00:00:00:00, type a
starting timecode value in the Starting Timecode eld.
6 If you want to make any changes to the project’s video or audio properties, select
Custom and use the pop-up menus.
Unless you have a specic requirement for the project you’re creating, it’s best to leave
“Set automatically based on rst video clip” selected.
7 Click OK.
The new project appears in the Project Library with the name you gave it in step 2.
New project
You can now add clips from the Event Browser and begin to edit your project in other
ways, adding titles, special eects, background music, sound eects, and more.
You can change a project’s name, default Event, and project properties at any time. See
“Modify a project’s name and properties” on page 94 for more information.
