Lines marking event clips in Final Cut Pro for Mac
In Final Cut Pro, lines appear on clips and ranges in the browser to help you see at a glance if they’re marked as favorite or rejected, have keywords applied, or are being used in the current project. The color of the line indicates the type of marker.
To turn marker lines on or off, choose View > Browser > Marked Ranges.
Color | Description | More information |
|---|---|---|
 | A green line indicates that you’ve marked a clip as favorite. | See Rate clips. |
 | A red line indicates that you’ve marked a clip as rejected. | See Rate clips. |
 | A blue line indicates that a clip has manually applied keywords or keywords imported with the media file. | |
 | A purple line indicates that a clip has one or more analysis keywords. | |
 | An orange line along the bottom of an event clip indicates that the clip is being used in the project currently open in the timeline. | To turn this view on or off, choose View > Browser > Used Media Ranges. |
Tip: To select a clip range marked with a line, click the line.
