| To get started in Lesson 5, you will launch Final Cut Pro and then open the project for this lesson. 1. | Launch Final Cut Pro, and choose File > Open, or press Cmd-O. Select the Lesson 5 Project file from the Lessons folder on your hard drive. | 2. | Close any other projects that may be open from a previous session by Ctrl-clicking their name tabs in the Browser and choosing Close Tab from the shortcut menu. | 3. | In the Timeline, play the Amanda Starting sequence. This is a different version of the Amanda street scene you edited in Lesson 2. In this version, the edit points are very loose and obviously need trimming. To apply different methods of trimming to this sequence, you will duplicate this sequence and work with the duplicate. | 4. | In the Sequences bin in the Browser, Ctrl-click the Amanda Starting sequence and choose Duplicate from the shortcut menu. Name the new sequence Dragging, and double-click to open it in the Timeline. Dragging edit points will be the first method you will use to trim clips. |
