    How to extend /trim multiple clips. Pls check my case in this screen capture : https://imgur.com/MeN3fP5
    I want to make all those selected clips to have the same out point at the red playhead. So fcp should trim/extend those clips to the playhead. How can i do this ? can’t find the answer anywhere. it’s silly that FCP can’t do this.

    Thanks

    Blade all layers at current playhead or skimmer location: SHIFT+CMD+B: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12724?locale=en_US

    Extend all layers of selected clips: CTRL+ D and set a longer duration (type +10 for 10 frames, or +10. for 10 sec), make sure all layers are selected, then OPT + ] will trim all your clips to the playhead.

    At 3:00 into this video, T. Payton shows how to do this a layer at a time. It’s a little slower than just selecting all and doing OPT+] but it’s still pretty fast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WjnjQXUEHI
