recordings, or sound eects and place these clips in the audio tracks of the Timeline.
Final Cut Pro can import many common le formats (see the Final Cut Pro 7 User Manual
for a complete list). But the easiest way to see if you can use a certain le type in your
project is to just try importing it. If you have still images or audio les available, you can

Getting Ready
Prepare to import a still image:
Place or locate still images that you’d like to import, such as photos, on your computer.
For example, you can import images directly from your Pictures folder, if you wish.
Prepare to import an audio le:
Place an audio le, such as a sound eect or music le, on your computer. If you like,
insert a music CD into your disc drive and, when the disc opens on your desktop, drag
a music track into your Music folder (or any other location you prefer).
