How do you switch between different editing modes in Final Cut Pro?

Switching between different editing modes in Final Cut Pro is typically accomplished through the View menu. This menu provides options that allow you to change your editing experience based on what you want to focus on, such as viewing different aspects of the timeline, enabling or disabling certain features, and adjusting how clips are displayed.

The View menu includes functionalities for toggling between modes such as "Clip Appearance" or "Composition," which shapes how the timeline and clips are organized visually and interactively. This enables you to optimize your workflow by selecting the specific mode that best suits your current editing task.

Utilizing the Clips menu or dragging clips in the timeline does not directly alter the editing modes. While right-clicking offers various context-specific options, it does not provide a straightforward way to switch between the overall editing modes offered through the View menu. Therefore, using the View menu is the correct method for switching editing modes in Final Cut Pro.
