How to View Clip Keyframes & Overlays in Final Cut Pro 5

Video Transcript

Hi! This is CJ South representing expertvillage.com, in this clip we’re going to talk about viewing clip frames and overlays. Now let’s talk about clip key frames and overlays, we haven’t actually talked about key frames yet and I’m not going to cover that till we start getting into graphics but the way to toggle these two options is down here at the bottom left and you see it here you’ve got toggle clip overlays and toggle clip key frames. Now you can also change that by going up to sequence and then down to settings as well, we’re just going to stick with this cause it’s much easier, so go ahead first and click toggle clip overlays now you see that added a black bar to these clips now, well what is this black bar? Well on video this is your opacity for your video and that’s your opacity so at the top it’s 100% but if I move it down you can see the number value changing 50, 40, 30 okay and if you notice now up in my canvas, let me make this a little larger for you half of one picture is shown and half of the other picture is shown because I made one video transparent about half way so you can see what’s behind it and you can change that on any clip. Now in audio that represents your audio level, you can see how the value is changing between 5DB, 0DB, something value DB that’s just your level of audio how loud it’s going to be that’s just basically changing the volume. Now to the left of the clip overlays is your clip key frames so click that and toggle it and you see that you have this extra section that’s been added beneath your layer here, now that has different things represented inside of it. Let me briefly go through the different sections but again we’re not using any graphics yet so it’s going to be a little difficult but this shows you a general overview of where your key frames are at which are these little triangles here.
