clip insertion
Hi. How do I squeeze a clip in the beginning of a sequence so all the video and audio files will move forward and remain in sync?

By reading page 150 in your FCP User Manual
or
To perform an insert edit:
Specify the necessary edit points and destination tracks, then do one of the following:
Drag a clip from the Viewer or Browser to the Insert section of the Edit Overlay in
the Canvas.
Click the Insert button in the Canvas.
Press F9.If F9 does not insert your clip, you need to adjust its setting in System Preferences
hope that helps

Thank you. I remember reading about another way in the user manual but now I can’t find it. I recall typing 200 into somewhere and the whole sequence moved forward two seconds. How do I do that?

Type “T” 4 times while on the timeline…note that the arrow now becomes a double-arrow pointing right. Now, any clip you click on and all the rest to the right of that are selected. This is SELECT ALL RIGHT option…also available in that toolbar on the right of the timeline. Now type +200 and everything will shift 2 seconds to the right. Or drag.

Try Clicking on your timeline
Press T (Track Tool) on your keyboard 4 times and watch your curser turn into arrows.
Dual arrows pointing right lets you click and highlight everything right of where you click.
Type in + 10 and your highlighted section should move right 10 frames. + 200 you get the idea.
Press A (Selection Tool) to get out of Track Tool Mode.hope that helps,

I guess Shane types faster than I.

Much, much better to master the Insert Edit than to move all the sequence clips down to make space for a clip you wish to insert.

Why? That is what I had to do in Avid (until recently…they took this feature and incorporated it into Avid 3.0.5 and up) and when you do this, if you have any overlapping audio and video, it gets cut and separated, meaning a lot of clean up in the end. Moving clips via TTTT leaves your overlapping right where it is. MUCH better.
And much MUCH faster than loading slug. Press TTTT, click, drag, done. Or click, type, press enter. Not LOAD slug, mark IN, mark out….mark in on the timeline, cut in…fix your edit…

Maybe we’re misunderstanding each other Shane. It sounded like all he wanted to do was Insert Edit. So instead of shifting clips down to make a space for one clip, it’s easier to put a clip in the Viewer, type F9 and be done with it. That being said, I love the All Tracks Forward Tool when you need it. And it was sorely missing from the Avid toolset (until recently!).
It’s not a replacement for the Insert Edit, IMHO. 🙂
