How do you zoom in on a clip in fcpx?
Put another way, how do you make a range in clip in the browser bigger so you can easily drag it to the timeline?
At the top in the middle next, just to the right of the arrows for the drop down menu for which clips are displayed (“All Clips” is the default) is a rectangle with three lines. It allows you to toggle between filmstrip and list modes
After you have synced a clip, and NOT disabled the camera’s audio channel, how do you control which “track” (my word” you are hearing — cam or HN1?
Click on the synced clip in the browser or the timeline.
Go to the audio function of the inspector window.
Under “audio configuration” click on “storyline” to turn off the audio recorded by the camera or “connected” to turn off, what is for me HN1 audio.
How do you clear a range in fcpx?
Mark > clear selected clip
Can you sync just the ranges you have set in a clip?
Yes. If you set a range in the video clip and sync it with the full audio clip, only that portion of the video clip will get synced.
How do you turn on audio skimming?

How do you fade in and out of a clip?
DETACH AUDIO FIRST?
1-Use menu commands (top bar)
—modify>adjust volume>apply fades. (fades will appearance at the beginning and end of the clip)
Or
—modify>adjust volume>apply toggle fade in/toggle fade out
To adjust the duration of the fade, drag the fade handles in the clip on the timeline
What is a menu command?
Top bar:
“File”, “Edit”, “Trim”
How do you remove fades from a clip?
Select the clip>Modify (top menu)>adjust volume>remove fades
Describe a faster way to apply a fade than using a menu command.
Hover the cursor over the audio waveform, specifically over the icon at the start or end of the clip.
Drag the icon and you’ll see a fade in handle
appear.

How do you create a crossfade?
Drag the clips so one is over the
other.
Drag the clips audio fade handles so that the first clip fades out as the other is fading in.
How do you change the fade shape?
Hold ctl and click on the fade handle. Then choose one of the options.
What are the four types of fade shapes?
LINEAR: maintains a constant rate of change over the length of the fade.
S-CURVE: eases in and out of the fade
+3DB: Starts quickly and tapers at the end
-3DB: Starts slowly and then moves quickly toward the end.
How can you automatically fix audio problems in FCPX?
Right click on the clip
Select “Analyze and Fix…”
Or, click onthe little magic wand icon in the Inspecgtor, next to where it says “not analyzed.” The wheels will spin and it will recommend the optimal settings.
If one of the parameters (loudnss, NR or hum) did not engage, it means the audio does not need that adjustment – no problems detected., If they do engage, it means they did find and fix a problem.
What is an “audio component”?
Audio Components are FCPX’s way of wrapping all the separate audio tracks/streams for a clip into a single expandable/collapsible container in your timeline. This is incredibly helpful when you are dealing with multi-track audio from set.
Let’s say you have 2 tracks of a stereo mixdown, 2 boom mics, 2 lavs and 4 additional ISO’s (Isolated Tracks/Channels of Recorded Audio). Having 10 tracks of audio in your timeline while editing for picture can be quite annoying and can lead to accidentally shifting things out of sync.
When you edit a clip into your timeline—regardless of how many audio tracks the clip contains—FCPX shows you a single waveform mixdown of all the audio tracks in that clip. You could think of it as a quasi-compound clip of audio only.
How do you reveal the individual audio tracks in an audio component?
To reveal and edit the clip’s individual audio tracks, right-click that clip in the timeline and choose Expand Audio Component (CTRL-OPT-S) and the audio expands in the timeline to show you all your separate ISO tracks.
You can then delete silent tracks, edit others, and apply effects on an individual basis. Once you’re done, right-click, Collapse Audio Component to get a nice, neat timeline again.
You also have access to these separate tracks in the Audio Inspector, but you’re limited to what you can do with them there. Essentially, in the Inspector, you can either disable/enable tracks or change their channel configuration (Dual Mono, Stereo, Left, Right etc.)
