Apple Final Cut Pro X (10.1.2) - Manual (Page 104)

Chapter 7 Edit your project 104
When you use the Connect menu command, keyboard shortcut, or toolbar button, video clips
(blue) are connected above the primary storyline and audio clips (green) are connected below
the primary storyline:
Connected clip
Connected
audio-only clip
Primary storyline
Note: You can use three-point editing to make connect edits. For more information, see Three-
point editing overview on page 287.
Connect clips in the Timeline
1 If your project is empty, add clips to the dark gray primary storyline area in the Timeline to build
your initial sequence.
The clips in the primary storyline serve as a foundation on which you connect (attach) clips to
further build your project. Connect edits are slightly different than the other edit types in that
they never add clips to the primary storyline. If you perform a connect edit in an empty Timeline,
Final Cut Pro first adds a gap clip to the primary storyline and attaches the new connected clip
to it.
