Final Cut Pro X: clip
This article has been archived and is no longer updated by Apple.
The term used to describe a video or audio asset, especially after it has been imported into Final Cut Pro. Clips appear in the Browser, the Timeline, and the media browsers.

Clips in Final Cut Pro point to (link to) source media files on a storage device. When you modify a clip, you are not modifying the media file, just the clip’s information in Final Cut Pro. (This is known as nondestructive editing.)
