Final Cut Pro Certification Practice Test

What does having all three angle colors (Yellow, Blue, Green) active signify in Final Cut Pro?

1. No angles are active

2. All video angles are inactive

3. Both video and audio angles are active

4. Only audio angles are active

The correct answer is: Both video and audio angles are active

In Final Cut Pro, having all three angle colors—Yellow, Blue, and Green—active indicates that both video and audio angles are indeed active in the timeline. This means that multiple angles of video and their corresponding audio tracks are being utilized simultaneously to give the editor flexibility while making creative decisions. The Yellow represents the selected angle for video, while Blue and Green correspond to other available video angles and audio tracks. This arrangement enables users to switch between different camera angles during playback and editing, thereby enhancing the storytelling aspect of video editing. It allows for seamless cutting between different visuals while ensuring that the audio tracks are integrated properly. The other options do not reflect this functionality. For instance, indicating that no angles are active or suggesting only audio angles are active would misrepresent the comprehensive range of angles available to the editor. Thus, the ability to have all angles active enhances the editing experience and efficiency in Final Cut Pro.
