Chapter 7 Create and manage projects 83
Modify a project’s name and properties
As your project evolves, you may decide you want to rename it or change its properties.
Rename a project
1 If the Project Library is not already open, click the Project Library button at the bottom-left
corner of the Final Cut Pro main window.
2 Select a project, and click the project’s name to highlight it.
3 Type a new name in the project Name field, and press Return.
Depending on how you have the Project Library organized, the project’s position in the project
list may change after you rename it.
Change a project’s default event and properties
When you create a project, you set the project properties and assign the project a default event
to hold media that is dragged directly into the project’s Timeline from a Final Cut Pro media
browser or the Finder.
In most cases, Final Cut Pro manages project properties automatically based on the properties of
the first clip you add to a project, but you can change almost all properties of an existing project.
If you must modify the project properties, choose video and audio project properties based on
how you intend to share your final movie with your audience.
