The Fundamentals of Adding Clips to a Sequence

To create a storyboard in the Browser:

1

Control-click in the Browser, then choose View as Large Icons from the shortcut menu.

2

Drag the clips into the order in which you want them to appear, keeping the rows of
clips relatively straight, so that Final Cut Express can properly determine their order.

∏

Tip: To ensure clips are placed in the Timeline in the proper order, place each
subsequent clip several pixels lower and to the right of the previous clip.

Note: If you don’t want to use the entire duration of each clip, you can set In and Out
points for each clip to specify the part you want to use (see “

Setting Clip In and Out

Points in the Viewer

” on page 317).

Arrange the clips in the
order you want, from
left to right and top
to bottom.
