Add only a clip’s video or audio in Final Cut Pro for Mac
By default, whenever you add a clip from an event to the timeline, all of the video and audio components of the event clip are included in the edit. However, you can also add just the video or audio portion of an event clip to the timeline, even if the clip contains both video and audio.
To set the editing mode in Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
Add just the video from your selection: Click the Edit pop-up menu in the top-left corner of the timeline and choose Video Only (or press Shift-2).
Add just the audio from your selection: Click the Edit pop-up menu and choose Audio Only (or press Shift-3).
The edit buttons (to the left of the Edit pop-up menu) change their appearance to indicate the mode you chose:
Add clips to the timeline as you normally would.
The video-only or audio-only clips appear in the timeline.
To return to the default editing mode (video and audio), click the Edit pop-up menu and choose All (or press Shift-1).
