Tutorial: Using Compound Clips in Apple Final Cut Pro X
在FCP X中使用复合剪辑类似于Final Cut Pro 7中的嵌套序列. Once you understand how it works, and how changes to compound clips can ripple across projects, it's a powerful feature that you'll find yourself using more and more.
In this tutorial we’re going to talk about compound clips, which are Final Cut Pro X’s version of nesting. 这是一种将项目中的一些剪辑压缩成单个文件的方法.
Making a compound clip is simple. You can either make a compound clip of the entire timeline, of just the video, just the audio, a mix of both, or just a small section. It's very flexible.
Creating a Compound Clip
To begin, let’s look at the beginning of the timeline shown in Figure 1 (below). This example is from a wedding film recently produced by my studio Cord3Films, 但是这里描述的复合剪辑技术适用于任何FCP X项目，您需要使复杂的时间线更易于管理.
Figure 1. The complex timeline we’ll be working with.
As you can see, this timeline is pretty complicated. There's a music audio track at the bottom. There's the audio from the groom's speech. There is the primary storyline which has the groom giving a speech, cut with B-roll over top of him writing a speech, 最重要的是，甚至还有翻译的文本，因为他说的是西班牙语.
我们可以通过简单地将时间轴的一小部分制作为复合剪辑来简化这一点. 所以我要把选框和套索拖到开始部分(Figure 2, below) that I want to make a compound clip. Once that's selected, 它就像按键盘上的Option-G键一样简单——这是制作复合剪辑的快捷方式.
Figure 2. 套索我们要制作复合剪辑的时间轴部分.
当你按下Option-G，在你的屏幕顶部，你会看到一个对话框 Figure 3 (below). 它有两个选项:命名复合剪辑，以及识别与之关联的事件. 在这种情况下，它默认与我们在这个时间轴上拥有的唯一事件相关联, 但我们将其命名为“叙事开启”，因为这是对项目这一部分的准确描述.

Click OK, and FCP X makes a compound clip, shrink-wrapping it all into a single file, but leaving the edit intact. Everything is there, including the transition, as shown in Figure 4 (below).
