   THE FINAL CUT PRO DESKTOP
   
   
   
   1. The VIEWER is analogous to a source monitor. You use it to watch individual clips, mark edit
   points, and apply effects.
   2. The CANVAS is analogous to a record monitor and looks like the Viewer. It displays the
   composited results of the edited sequence as you are creating it.
   3. The TIMELINE displays a chronological view of a sequence. As you drag the playhead along the
   Timeline ruler, the current frame of the sequence is updated in the Canvas window and vice versa.
   Video tracks are displayed in descending order.
   4. The BROWSER is used to organize and locate the source material for your project and the finished
   product. The Browser is not a collection of files; it is a collection of references to files, which you
   organize in the context of your project.
   5. The MENU BAR is at the top of the screen and offers many options, including HELP
   6. The TOOL PALETTE contains tools for selecting and manipulating items in the Timeline (and
   Canvas)
   
   
   
   **NOTICE** there are familiar tools like the Magnifying glass to zoom in and out of the Timeline, the
   Hand tool to move around, etc. Move and pause mouse over tool to read its name label, and there
   are tools that have hidden tools underneath which are accessed by clicking and holding on them.
