Final Cut Pro Glossary

While editing with Final Cut, you have likely seen the terms Library, Event, Clip, and Project. They are generic terms but in Final Cut, they each refer to something specific. The terms create a hierarchy. At the top, represented by the icon with 4 stars, is a Final Cut Library. Each Library contains at least 1 event. The Event contains Clips and Projects. Media, including Video, Photos, Music, and Audio are all represented as clips in Final Cut. You, as the editor, are going to make choices on how those clips are mixed on a timeline. That timeline, is a project and, like clips, you can have multiple projects saved in an Event. Watch this video to better understand what a project is.
