The top left window is called the browser.
The browser shows two tabs: the project, which holds the files you will work with,
and the effects tab, which holds, you guessed it, video/audio effects.
To the right of the browser you will see two windows: the viewer and the canvas.
Both of these screens view your content, but in different ways.
The viewer is used to view the original source clip, while the canvas shows your work on the
timeline (what will be exported).
Below these sections is located the timeline.
This is where you will drag your video clips and assemble them into the main project.
Here is where you will apply effects, edit, and position clips nonlinearly in your project.
To the right of the timeline is a toolbox, which gives you various tools to move, edit, and tweak your work on the timeline.
∴Please note that this tutorial is designed for general editing on Final Cut Pro machines in ACD 403.
