UPDATE: Links supporting the purchase of SCONE LOOKS has been fixed. Both our DCFCPUG member, Drew and I brought up this issue to the author and now it is resolved.  I am happy to report that Bob is donating a copy of Scone Looks to DCFCPUG for our Winner’s Circle raffle.  Stay tuned for when that is announced as that will be a highly sought after prize!  The Looks are worth the price of admission.. Buy a copy and put it to work in your workflow…

Final Cut Pro – Selecting the Range of a Clip

Range Selection Tool

Wouldn’t it be great to apply a filter to only a portion of a clip – without having the cut the clip into a million pieces first?

Well, we can — using the Range Selection tool (keyboard shortcut GGG).

Using this tool, drag across the middle of a clip. Where ever you drag will be selected.

Then, apply an effect. The effect will only apply to the selected portion of the clip.

You can use this technique to apply effects, delete portions of a clip, or select something to copy and paste elsewhere.

Very cool.
