Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 101)

Recent Clips Pop-Up Menu
This pop-up menu shows recently used clips. A clip is not added to this list when first
opened in the Viewer, only when another clip replaces it. The last clip that was replaced
in the Viewer appears at the top of the list. By default, the maximum number of clips that
appear in this list is ten, but you can change this number. For more information, see
“Choosing Settings and Preferences.”
The clip replaced most
recently is at the top of
the list.
Generator Pop-Up Menu
Use this pop-up menu to create a generator clip, such as bars and tone, text, black, a
color matte, or a gradient. A generator clip appears in the Viewer; you can then customize
it using the Controls tab. For more information, see
“Using Generator Clips.”
