The Tabs Feature in FCP

Every cut is a learning process. This edit is a lesson in organization. With 11 hours of footage, there are a lot of ways to go about organizing your bins. Because my cut is fairly chronological I have chosen to organize by tape number instead of breaking the footage down into interviews, close-ups, sunsets etc.

One cool feature of Final Cut Pro is that it makes your various sequences into tabs in the timeline. This is proving useful for this edit because I am aranging each day basically as a seperate sequence. Then after I cut each one down I will mix them all into one timeline to produce the final product.
