High Definition Video
Capturing, editing, and output of DVCPRO HD high definition video
Final Cut Pro HD natively supports DVCPRO HD media. You can capture, edit, and
output DVCPRO HD video using the built-in FireWire port on a qualified Power Mac
without any additional specialized equipment.
For details about working with DVCPRO HD in Final Cut Pro, see “ Using DVCPRO HD ”
on page 41. For historical and background information about high definition video, see
“
High Definition Video Fundamentals ” on page 103.
Editing
Copying and pasting clips follows track selection in the Timeline
Final Cut Pro HD performs copying and pasting in the Timeline differently than
Final Cut Pro 4.1 and earlier. When you copy clips from tracks in the Timeline,
Final Cut Pro pastes those clips in the same tracks unless you specify different
destination tracks by clicking their Auto Select controls.
For more information, see “ Copying and Pasting Clips in the Timeline ” on page 63.
