Disable and enable clips in Final Cut Pro for iPad
Sometimes, it’s helpful to compare how a project plays with and without certain clips. You can temporarily disable (rather than delete) selected clips, making them invisible and silent during playback. Disabled clips don’t appear in any output.
Go to the Final Cut Pro app on your iPad.
Select one or more clips in the timeline, then do one of the following:
Touch and hold the selected clips, then tap Disable.
Press V on a connected or paired keyboard.
Disabled clips are dimmed in the timeline and are invisible and silent during playback.

To undo the action immediately, tap
in the toolbar (or press Command-Z on a connected or paired keyboard).To enable clips that have been disabled, select them in the timeline, then touch and hold the selected clips and tap Enable (or press V on a connected or paired keyboard).
