So the first frame in this video clip will also be the first frame that plays along at the very beginning of this generator. So when I select the very first frame of the clip here, hover over there, and then just click on it to select it. Now here's what you're selecting, when you select a frame here in the browser, you're not selecting the frame that goes underneath the playhead here, what you're selecting is the first frame that matches up with the beginning of the generator. And what I can do is just kind of skim to a specific frame, so maybe right around here, and I could just click once, and that selects a frame. Okay, so let's choose a frame, I'll go to a clip here that is in my browser. So it's underneath the playhead right here, here's the playhead, the frame that's right there underneath the playhead is what's showing up on the right side. On the right side, I'm seeing the frame that's underneath the playhead. And then I get into a new mode here in the viewer on the left side, I'm going to see different frames that I'm selecting. To use this, all I have to do is just click on it. But under the generators Inspector, there's a section here called drop zone. And if you're not seeing the inspector, you can open it by clicking on the inspector button here. Now to use the drop zone, all I have to do is go to the inspector. Okay, so here I go, I'm going to select the template. And I want to be able to easily see what is under the playhead. So in a moment here, we're going to be choosing frames, choosing video clips to go in here. And I think this is an important step, what you need to do is make sure you have the playhead over the template in a place where you can very clearly see the drop zone. So what I'm going to do is move it to right around there to where I can very easily see the drop zone. In fact, at the very beginning, there's this animation, so I can't really see the drop zone there. So now it's going to be much shorter, I'm going to trim the template like this, I'll move the playhead over it. And then I'm going to stop it on a downbeat. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to count a couple bars, I'm going to move the play head or skimmer back to the beginning, and I'll count as it plays back. Move the skimmer or play head to the beginning and hit the spacebar to play it back. So we can take a look and see what it looks like with the template. I'll select it, come up to the audio inspector under volume, I'll just type negative 12 db. And then inside there, I have this piece of music called Simple, I'm just going to click it and drag it, bring it down into the project. So I'll go to the library sidebar, and then go down to the media event. What I want to do instead is add a piece of music and then make this match up with the music. It's a six second long template by default, but I can change that duration, I can make it longer or shorter just by dragging it, I could shorten it like this or make it longer by dragging it out like that. And then with it selected, with that template selected, I can come up here and take a look at the duration. I'll click and drag it, bring it down into my project. I'm just going to add this to my project by clicking and dragging it and bringing it get down. And if I skim through this, you can see that there's a drop zone, the drop zone is that gray area, it's a placeholder for an image or a video clip or something like that. And there's a template here called image left minimum. I'm going to scroll down to the theme, that's called minimum. These are all themes that are part of my recent theme collection. And there are quite a few different themes in here. So I'll go to the Titles and Generators Sidebar, and then I'll go under generators in the Izzy Video category. Okay, the first thing is, I have an empty project here, and I want to find a template that has a drop zone in it. In this video, I'll demonstrate how to work with drop zones when you're using templates in Final Cut Pro, and also show you how to deal with a very common hiccup you can run into when you're working with drop zones. It also demonstrates how to handle a super common problem that can happen when you're working with drop zones - frozen images. This video demonstrates how to use template Drop Zones in Final Cut Pro X.
