How to Place Audio Clip in the Timeline Where I want it in FCPX 10.5.1? I am trying to place an audio clip in the timeline next to another audio clip but it automatically places itself down below all other tracks and I can't seem to budge it from there. Is there a way I can place the clip where I want? The clip in the screenshot that I want to move is the bottom right green clip labeled "Pileated." I would like to place it two levels up next to the clip labeled "Swainson's Thrush."

Closing Gaps on Audio Timeline Final Cut (and a transition question) Hi everyone... Two questions... I have a bunch of audio clips on my timeline. They are not synced with the video, and that's fine. It's background music. How do I remove gaps between them without manually doing that? Is there a way to select all of them and the app will remove all gaps? I'm using an animated pan stylized transition which is like 1 second in duration. When I try to expand the transition, I get a red boundary marker on the left. And it wont let me move it right. I don't care about losing footage. Any way I can expand this transition so the animation is slower? Thanks!!

Audio clips locked together in timeline - cannot move independently Placed several audio clips in the timeline. Now, some of these clips are locked together in the timeline with other clips - cannot move independently. Several lines of audio, sound fx etc. But when I try to move a clip to the right, it brings another unrelated clip with it. How do I unlocked these? Why did they lock together in the first place? Many thanks!

Not fade handles, not keyframe points.

When the clip is selected you can see the audio is anchored to the video with vertical connection handles .

see image below

They sometimes move as editing progresses ...can they be edited/moved by me?

for instance.. I would like to reconnect them at the front,

do i have to remove and reconnect a new instance of the audio clip?

thanks for your help.

To change the connection point of any connecte clip (audio or not): command-option-click the clip at the new point.

Are you referring to the fade handles, keyfrane points or the connection points on clips?
