Viewer: Â A window in Final Cut Pro in which you can work with a clip to set In and Out
points, play back the clip, and make many other types of changes such as applying
filters and adjusting motion parameters. Basically, you make changes to a clip using
the Viewer and then place the clip in the sequence in the Timeline.
Timeline:
 The Timeline holds a sequence of clips in the order in which they should
appear in your movie. Video and audio clips are stored in tracks in the Timeline, and
you can move, rearrange, change, and delete clips to create the chronological order
of your video.
Next, you’ll learn more about importing video and other media into Final Cut Pro.
