Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 537)

5 Move the playhead in the Viewer to the new frame that you want to align with the audio
cue that you selected in the Timeline.
6 Now that the Timeline playhead is lined up with the audio cue in your sequence and the
Viewer playhead is lined up with a video frame that you want to sync to it, perform the
edit by doing one of the following:
• Press F11.
• Drag the clip from the Viewer to the Replace section of the Edit Overlay in the Canvas.
• Click the Replace button in the Canvas.
The original video clip item in your sequence is replaced with a new copy of the clip,
which is synchronized with your audio cue.
Important: Make sure that the clip in the Viewer contains enough media on either side
of the playhead to fill the duration of the clip you want to replace in the Timeline. If it
doesn’t, you’ll see an “Insufficient content for edit” message.
If you set In and Out points in a sequence, a replace edit can overwrite more than one
clip at a time. A replace edit still works the same way: the Timeline and Viewer playheads
are used as the matching points for the edit.
