When it comes to building effects in Final Cut Pro there are several things that
need to be considered. First, there are the type of effects that are applied to
individual clips or to a series of clips in the Timeline - these are single layer
video effects. Then there are the types of effects that are termed multi-layered
effects.
Look to the video track symbols at the front of the Timeline - the break-off tabs
are labelled V1, A1, A2…. These are the video and audio tracks. Final Cut Pro
allows for up to 99 video tracks or layers to be created.
A Single Layer of Video in the Timeline
Multi-Layers of Video in the Timeline
Creating a video track - which means adding a layer - is as simple as Control
clicking in the gray area next to any of the tracks which already exist.
