Learning About the Final Cut Pro Interface

 Stereo pair indicators (within clip items): Two pairs of triangles indicate that two audio

clip items are linked as a stereo pair. If you select an audio clip item that is part of a
stereo pair, the other clip item in the pair is also selected. This is useful when you are
working with stereo audio clips such as music or sound effects. For more
information, see Volume II, Chapter 17, “Audio Editing Basics.”

Real-Time Effects and the Render Status Bar

 Real-Time Effects (RT) pop-up menu: Allows you to adjust the playback quality of real-

time effects in Final Cut Pro. Using the options in this menu, you can decide which is
more important to you—visual playback quality, or maximizing the available effects
that can be played back in real time. For more information on the options in the
Real-Time Effects pop-up menu, see Volume III, Chapter 23, “Using RT Extreme.”
