In the Viewer, as well as in the Canvas and Timeline, the active tool, such as the Ripple, Roll, or Selection tool, determines the result of the edit.

To make a ripple, roll, slip, or duration change to a sequence clip in the Viewer: 1 Open the sequence clip in the Viewer. 2 Select the appropriate tool for the type of edit you want to do. 3 In the Viewer, navigate to the frame you want to use for the clip's new In point. 5 Navigate to a new Out point and press O to set a new Out point. If the new In or Out point is not accepted, check to see if Final Cut Express displays an alert message. Some edits are not possible because they would cause other sequence clips to be partially overwritten or moved out of sync.
Using the Viewer to Adjust Motion and Filter Parameters
When you want to adjust effects and motion parameters for a sequence clip, you open the clip in the Viewer to make adjustments in the Motion and Filters tabs. For more information, see "Changing Motion Parameters" on page 723. You can also refer to "Using Video Filters" on page 677.
Matching Frames Between Sequence and Master Clips
Sequence clips, which are usually affiliate clips, have a relationship to other clips in your project. Because of this relationship, you can tell Final Cut Express to open the following clips in the Viewer:  The sequence clip's master clip, located in the Browser  The sequence clip's source media file, located on disk When Final Cut Express opens one of these items in the Viewer, the playhead is positioned at exactly the same frame in the Viewer as in the Canvas and Timeline. Important: If a sequence clip is not an affiliate clip, it is independent, so it isn't related to a master clip in the Browser. This opens the entire media file as an independent clip in the Viewer. This clip has no filters or motion parameters applied, and has no In or Out points set.

Important: If you open a source media file in the Viewer and drag it to the Browser, a new master clip is created. If you drag it to the Timeline or Canvas, an independent clip is created in the sequence. This is true whenever you open a media file in the Viewer-- either by using a match frame command or by dragging a media file from the Finder directly to the Viewer. Independent sequence clips can cause complications during media management and recapturing, so you should avoid editing with these clips. You should also be careful not to unnecessarily create more than one master clip that references the same media file. Subclips are an example of master clips that can refer to the same media file, but each subclip refers to a different portion of the media file. Multiple master clips that refer to the exact same parts of the same media file are usually unnecessary. To open a sequence or Browser clip's media file as a clip in the Viewer: 1 In the Timeline, Canvas, or Viewer, move the playhead to the frame you want to open in the Viewer. 2 Choose View > Match Frame > Source Media File. An independent clip is created in the Viewer that refers to the media file on disk.
