To delete a clip, sequence, or bin from a project

µ

Select the item, then press Delete.

Note: Deleting a clip from a project does not delete that clip’s media file from your hard
disk, nor does it delete any other affiliated clips, including sequence clips. When deleting
a master clip, however, Final Cut Pro warns you that affiliated clips will lose the master
clip they refer to. Deleting a master clip turns all affiliated clips into master clips (in the
Browser) or independent clips (in sequences).
