To find and mark long frames:

1

Do one of the following:

 Select one or more clips in the Browser.
 From the Timeline or Browser, open the clip you want to check.

2

Choose Tools > Long Frames > Mark.

A status window appears with a progress bar showing how much of the process is
complete.

3

If a marker already exists for a long frame, a message appears asking if you want to
overwrite the existing marker. Click OK or No.

Markers are placed at each long frame. Long frame markers have an internal label, or
tag, so that Final Cut Pro can distinguish them from other markers. If you selected a clip
in the Browser, markers appear for the clip and are labeled “Long Frame N,” where N
starts at 1 and increases, depending on how many long frames are detected. These
markers also appear in the Viewer, when the clip is opened there. If you selected a clip
in the Timeline, markers appear in the Timeline.

You can clear any markers previously added, if you like.

To clear long frame markers:

1

Select one or more clips in the Browser or Timeline.

2

Choose Tools > Long Frames > Clear.
