What is something you JUST learned in Final Cut Pro that you wish you knew earlier?

[@Blendermodeldeaf-ry5nz]

He learn lot same as I am. There ~/Movie/. . . Plug-ins still learn plus still learn on FCP update.

[@ClaudioLessa1955]

Hi, Dylan! Excellent tips! Have you done (or have you ever considered doing) a video explaining step-by-step how to send and receive edited material from a distance using Final Cut Pro, and relinking the media and all that (example: when one person records something and sends that recording with a bunch of videos and pictures to someone else to edit, and then the person sends back the edited version for the first one to relink everything and render it)? If you have done it already, please let us know the link to that video. Thanks! All the best!

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Dude you're a wizard! This was such a killer tutorial and hot damn what an intriguing title 🔥 And thanks so much for the shoutout! 💙

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Working on my doctorate at Hogwarts! -- Dude your course is just so good. So easy to recommend!

[@ProfSimonHolland]

wow...we all learn stuff every...ive absorbed and will use these ......back to my edit

[@OchoVerde]

Awesome! I just used your first tip in the opening of my latest video. Its so easy!

[@slaingirlfound]

That favorites tip was priceless. Thanks Dylan!!

[@bespokevocals]

Thank you! After the first “slide” tip (Amazing!), everything else was gravy. Great vid! ❤

[@DougHewsonYT]

I love the Slide transition trick - been using that one for years now.

[@nocturnus009]

Gratitude for this Dylan. I have been reading the User Manuals for FCP, Motion, Compressor & Logic Pro in Apple Books (yeah, I’m bummed they are no longer updated and pointing people to the online user guide over the ePub) and there is much to discover in all four applications. With some exploration I see there are a range of ways to get a project completed depending upon one’s preferred editing style.

[@husamejle]

A useful tip I often apply involves employing a dissolve transition within a single clip, particularly when there's a noticeable change in lighting or white balance. I find the point where the lighting shifts, split the clip at that juncture, and then adjust the lighting or white balance as needed for each section. By inserting a dissolve transition at the split, the clip transitions smoothly from the first part to the second, creating a seamless flow despite the adjustments.

[@gregoryminton]

Great video. That hold frame reverb tip is🔥🔥🔥

[@BEYONDPREMIERE]

In Multiple Selections, you can do this by going into additional range start and end in the Command Editor and change to i and o and it works in multiple parts of the video and one normal selection.

[@KevinKolbe]

Bro! Let me count how many of these I didn’t know…all 10! So cool and crazy useful too. Thanks

[@mudholeoutdoors3049]

These tips are GOLD! All of these years using FCP and a missed these features that were right there all along

[@iamericlenz]

Bro, that was amazing! Fantastic video! 🎉 And thank you so much for the shoutout! ♥ Btw the sponsor segment was creative af! :D

[@jrennickemd]

I literally was just using the slide transition for graphics but stopped the “out” animation because it screwed up the underlying video. That first tip is just what I needed!

[@MauricioNunes92]

As always learning so much from your videos! Thanks for sharing!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

You are an incredible human and creative. All the best!

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Are you even allowed to be here as a Davinci Resolve creator? 😉 Appreciate you so much dude! Hope we can get together again someday soon.

[@mdturnerinoz]

Really helpful set! Thanks!

[@Richard_Broom_Photography]

Brilliant. Very many thanks Dylan. Please keep the tips coming - all very useful over here in Scotland!

[@OUT_of_Crisis]

Thanks for great tips! I love FCPX after years in premiere pro and these tips are convincing me that it was right choice to switch)

[@JamarHarden723]

Awesome! I love your delivery - Keep doing great things, man! 🙏

[@realmattjc]

Great tips. Love how every days a school day 👏👏

[@GoldenGateSeekers]

Thank you ✨❤️✨

[@K3JRZOnTheAir]

Great info Dylan!

[@soundwise]

😁 Great to see "my" tip there as well!

[@TheArtificialAnalyst]

Nice video Dylan! Learned a lot! Hey but how did you push that text clip onto the main timeline at 11:06 ?

[@DigitalMotion]

Wow, Thank you for the tips !

[@DavidBishopinc]

Excellent video my friend.

[@OldSartoris]

Thank you, man. I´ve been away from FCPX for many years now; your videos have helped a lot. Keep up the great work and cheers.

[@ozedsal5581]

Like, share, subscribe and don't skip the ads. Glad you've got sponsor for this video!

[@mtamech535]

The “Better” Dylan… I just love your demeanor. You’re a great bro, bro.

[@FromAverageToWarrior]

Golden tips once again, thanks 🙏🏽

[@jpashworthofficial]

Dang. Never would have thought to even try this on the animated title. Thanks

[@linnankuva]

Great tips! 👍 One "pro" tip 🤭: When applying an effect from the effect browser to the selected clip, just double-click the effect. You don't have to drag it to your clip. I'm pretty sure all know this already, but this one catches my attention all the time when watching tutorials and Final Cut related stuff. (or is that dragging just intentional to show it more clearly, dunno...)

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Yes great one! I always click and drag for my videos just because it is more visually clear what clip I’m applying the effect to. But if someone doesn’t know this, this can be a huge timesaver!!

[@delcanvideoproductions4895]

Thanks Dylan, always great stuff !

[@matthewpateofficial]

We need a pro horizontal plugin with custom squares say for like music videos! Where you could throw in four different instruments being played but on separate video files each having their own corner.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

You should check out Splitz 2 from BretFX! www.bretfx.com/product-category/split-screens/?wpam_id=11

[@lavinchi6709]

Thank you very very much ✨📀

[@mdturnerinoz]

Thanks!

[@NerdNest]

For the slide transition, is there a way to change the default end of the transition to slide out?

[@ErickT97]

Bro, whenever I want to move everything it sinc I used compound clips. Never thought to use an adjustment clip. This blows my mind 🤯

[@more_bumps_ahead]

Editing on FCPX since it was introduced and I am embarrassed to admit how helpful this was! 🤣

[@elg3eco]

Wow so glad that i found your channel

[@airtime23]

Awesome!!! Two questions regarding no2: 1) does this risk any kind of Copyright Problems for songs from music licensing platforms because the song is altered a bit? 2) any chance you build a plugin to get that effect even faster?😃

[@TheFinalCutBro]

1. I can't speak to copyright! It's just always going to be a risk. So you'll need to decide if that's a risk you're willing to take. 2. Unfortunately I can't make a plugin for this as Motion doesn't work with audio effects. So it's down to the ol' manual process on this one!

[@cremieuxfrance]

The Shift+N .... I was doing wrong for such a long time !

[@VinnerFilms1]

Hey Dylan witch video do you speaks with more details about create a category "⭐favs"?

[@mymonfort]

Dear Dylon, thank you for this. Can you please tell us who is using fcp in movies industry nowadays. ?

[@ImaginetMedia]

10 out of 10 keepers right there.

[@davewhiting9730]

Does FCP have something like an anti-adjustment layer that you can stick in between layers to stop the above adjustment layer from affecting any layers below the anti-adjustment layer?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Not specifically an anti adjustment layer. But if you had multiple layers you wanted to affect, you could select them all, right click, and place them in a compound clip. Then all your changes applied to the compound layer will affect the layers inside, but none of the layers outside the compound clip.

[@tvchris]

WHAT?!?! Ken Burns has easing options? 🤯

[@GlobeSync1]

Great, would love if you could make a video about best free alternatives to Cine Studio by Motion VFX! Btw nice vid, earned a sub

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Unfortunately there aren't any free alternatives that I am aware of. But there are more affordable options you can check out! You should look into Keyper and/or Background Remover on the FxFactory store! Both do a great job of cutting out people super quickly. As for 3D tracking, you could try PixelFilmStudios, but I just find that the level of quality from MotionVFX is sooooooo worth the additional cost.

[@GlobeSync1]

@@TheFinalCutBro Thanks for replying, I have heard of Keyper and Background remover but i am looking for I slightly better option. I have reached out to MotionVFX and asked if they have any plans of brining back a one time purchase option but they say most likely not. I have found bcc+looks which works ok on rotoscoping but it is still sad to see no good alternatives.

[@fjmediapro]

🎉🎉🎉

[@Blendermodeldeaf-ry5nz]

You have 10 years to use FCP yes but I remember Mac Plus with ADVI app is first time until they rename from ADVI to Final Cut Pro last about year 2000 with FCP about 1.0 until now. My woommate buy FCP 2.0 and years, years then I buy FCP about last 2012.

[@lillyinthefield2787]

10 years must be a LOT. Still havin fun with it?

[@PIKEWALLISTV]

This is bad news for a beginner. You work with it and still after 10 years you are learning thing ? Im 57 years old. Have had FCP for 8 weeks. I will bee deadline long time before I know FCP in and out 🙈🙈🙈🙂🙂

[@TheFinalCutBro]

I think it's GREAT news for beginners! Just means you can always improve, and that it won't be the software holding you back!

[@PIKEWALLISTV]

[@Hobbitiano]

Hello!!! For the last 3 months I have had a very strange problem with 10.7 and 10.7.1, constantly FCPX alerts for missing media (usually audio), but it is false, you can even listen to the audio and if you go to share export, something that works just fine. The problem is red alert clips everywhere and also missing waveforms for the affected clips. It happens randomly, I've been searching for answers but other than a Reddit post describing the same problem (without the answer) there is no solution. PLEASE HELP!!!!
