Compound Clips for Mac
With the latest version of Filmora, users can explore the newly added features, including the Compound Clip functionality. This feature is capable of merging two or more distinct clips into one, enabling fast editing. If you want to apply the same effects and filters to multiple shots, follow the steps below to create a compound clip:

Creating a Compound Clip
By following this step-by-step guide, users can bring consistency and fluidity to their videos through Compound Clip functionality.
Method 1: Using the Top Toolbar
Step 1: Starting a New Project
After downloading Filmora for Mac and logging into your account, navigate to the left side panel and click " Create Project". This action will open various tabs on the main screen, where you have to select the "New Project" tab.

Step 2: Importing Clips and Placing Them in the Timeline Panel
Once you access Filmora's editing window, press the "Command + I" buttons on your keyboard and choose clips to import from your device. Once the media is imported, drag and drop the clips in the same timeline track.

Step 3: Creating a Compound Clip
After the clips are in the timeline panel, select them and go to the top toolbar. From the available tabs, click "Tools", and a drop-down menu will show up. Select the "Create Compound Clip" option there. A pop-up window will appear, allowing you to name your compound clip, where you have to click "OK" to proceed.

Step 4: Saving the Compound Clip
To save your compound clip, locate it in the timeline panel and right-click on it. Afterwards, choose the "Save as Custom Compound Clip" option from the drop-down menu. This clip will be saved and can be accessed through the "Compound Clip" option in the left panel of the editing window.

Method 2: Using the Timeline Control Menu
Step 1: Accessing the Compound Clip Functionality
Drag and drop the media into the timeline panel with your available peripherals. Select both clips in the timeline simultaneously by pressing the "Command" key from the keyboard and clicking on clips with your cursor. Right-click on it, and choose the "Create Compound Clip" option from the control panel that appears.

Step 2: Saving the Compound Clip as Custom
Once you’ve created the compound clip and want to save it, click on the clip in the timeline. Then, select the "Save as Compound Clip Custom" option from the options panel. Further, you can find your saved files in the "Compound Clip" section at the top left panel.

Navigating Through Created Compound Clips
As the compound clip is created in Filmora Mac, you can view the combined clip in the main timeline. However, Filmora has made navigation of clips and their editing easier. To know more about how this navigation operates in Filmora, go through the simple step-by-step instructions below:
Step 1: Viewing the Main Timeline
After creating the compound clips in your timeline, a drop-down menu representing the different layers in the timeline appears in the timeline toolbar. Consequently, the "Main Timeline" layer shows the combined compound clip.

Step 2: Changing To Compound Clip Layer
To change this and view the single compound clip and its elements closely, you can simply change the timeline view from the drop-down to "Compound Clip" and view its details across the timeline.

Detach Compound Clips
In the new version of Filmora, Detach compound clip is supported. Now you can restore the compound clip, making video editing more flexible.
Right click on the compound clip on the main timeline, then select "Detach Compound Clip" to restore the compound clip.
