Compositing

Final Cut Pro Glossary

Using tools to combine multiple sources into a single image is compositing. You’ve likely seen a picture in picture in which two videos are playing in a single frame. Create a quick picture in picture using the Transform Tool (Shift-T). This is simple form of compositing. One source, a video, is scaled down and placed on top of another source.
