Everything is found in the Browser
1. Bring in our video - Browser (Bottom Left) - Drag video to timeline 
2. Browser - Search - Sound Effects / Music Beds - Click on one to preview 
3. Choose one and drag to timeline - you can move it around / make it longer (cursor on right hand side)

It is good to keep things in separate tracks - helps you to remember where things are and view things. 
Certain sounds can be a lot louder than the other ones, so you have to adjust the volume (left hand side of tracks). 

Ambience Sounds - Fill any sounds (when people are talking / hover background sounds)
Audio is very important! Amazing sounds makes a film better. 

Effects: 
- Left hand side
Clip Distortion

To add audio into Final Cut Pro, import it to the browser first, then drag into timeline

Then individually select the clip and delete the audio
