ABSTRACT
Final Cut Express (FCE) has several tools for refining edit, fine-tuning, and rearranging the sequence. The Shuffle Edit function lets clips to move one at a time. FCE defines a gap as a space in the Timeline that extends across all tracks. It FCE will not see the space between the shots on the video tracks as a gap. This is where the ability to lock tracks really helps. Storyboarding is a fast, easy way to move around the order of the shots, to try different arrangements and sequences. A Ripple edit moves an edit point up and down the Timeline by pushing or pulling all of the material on the track, shortening or lengthening the whole sequence. A Roll edit moves an edit point up and down the Timeline between two adjacent shots. A Slip edit changes the In and Out points of a single clip.
