Final Cut Pro Certification Practice Test

Can keywords be overlapped when applying them to a clip in Final Cut Pro?

1. No

2. Yes

3. Only in Smart Collections

4. Only if they are unique

The correct answer is: Yes

Keywords in Final Cut Pro are designed to help you organize and categorize your media efficiently. When applying keywords to a clip, you can apply multiple keywords simultaneously, which allows for granular and flexible organization. This overlapping of keywords means you can categorize clips in various ways without creating distinct and separate clips for each category. For instance, a clip can have the keywords "Interview," "2023," and "Outdoor," all at once, allowing you to easily find that clip later using any of those tags. This capability enhances your workflow, as it saves time and allows you to manage your media more effectively. It also makes Smart Collections dynamic and robust because any clip with one of the selected keywords will automatically show up in the corresponding Smart Collection. Other options either restrict the application of keywords or create unnecessary limitations that do not reflect Final Cut Pro's intended functionality.
