How to Add a Gap Clip in Final Cut Pro X

[@bebop.d]

This is how to make tutorials, one question one answer.

Incredible! I can't believe the video only included the exact topic without any fluff or frills. I'm still figuring out FCPX from Premiere and videos like this are a huge help. Thanks!

[@mewshop]

Glad it was helpful!

[@OliverGibbsYoutubeChannel]

Very helpful
i so confused why i couldnt add a clip between two other clips
Thanks for the tutorial!

[@JasmineNicoleCogdell]

Perfect! Straight to the point! 📌🤓Thank you so much for your help!

Looks simple, but I am having trouble placing the gap on the upper timeline tiers. It always places the gap on the lowest timeline and I need to stack a couple gaps to make sure the video I'm working with is on the upper (3rd) level. I noticed your gap placement went right to the 3rd level timeline.

The gap clip in this video went to the primary storyline. A way to place a gap clip above or below the primary storyline is to put the gap clip in a secondary storyline.

my gap displays a white screen, I want it to be black like yours. How do i change this

[@mewshop]

Go to Preferences, select the Playback tab, & make sure Player Background is set to Black.

if I place a gap in the middle of a video with audio it will automatically chop the audio and insert between the two chopped audio. how do I solve it ?

[@mewshop]

Are you asking how to add a Gap clip to video without effecting the audio?

[@AdrianLoganLive]

@@mewshop I really wish you would have answered the question that you had correctly assumed he was asking, as I have that same question. How do you do it without splitting the audio track?

[@mewshop]

@@AdrianLoganLive Right click or Control click on the clip and select Detach Audio from the context menu. Or select the clip and press Control Shift S on your keyboard. This will separate the audio clip from the video clip and allow you to add a Gap Clip to the video clip only.
