Creating and Working With Sequences
A sequence is a container for editing clips together in chronological order. A sequence
contains one or more video and audio tracks, which are empty when first created.
Creating and Deleting Sequences
Before you can edit content together in Final Cut Pro, you need to create a sequence to
edit it into. You can create as many new sequences as you want in a project. If you want
to delete a sequence from your project, it’s easy to do.
To create a new sequence in the current project:
1
Do one of the following:
 Choose File > New > Sequence.
 Control-click in the Viewer, then choose New Sequence from the shortcut menu.
 Press Command-N.
A new sequence appears with the name highlighted, so you can change its name
right away.
2
Enter a name for the sequence, then press Enter or Return.
To have Final Cut Pro prompt you for a sequence preset each time you create a
new sequence:
1
Choose Final Cut Pro > User Preferences, then click the General tab.
2
Select the “Prompt for settings on New Sequence” option.
For more information about sequence presets, see Volume IV, Chapter 26, “Sequence
Settings and Presets.”
Enter a new name
for the sequence.
