Thanks to Jenn Jager & her 5 MUST see FCP Tutorials video for suggesting I re-watch this. And thanks Dylan! The panning tip made me notice my speakers were reversed! Now I can try these cool tips properly! haha! Thanks again guys!

Seriously such a huge compliment! Thanks for the encouragement! 👊

[@henrymorgan3212]

Super helpful tips. The keyboard shortcuts alone are super helpful.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

That's good to know! I was wondering if I should shy away from keyboard shortcuts. I was curious if I was overloading with information. But I think I will keep adding them in for now! Thanks for watching 👊

[@henrymorgan3212]

[@maksamurai]

@@TheFinalCutBro as someone who uses FCP every so often for work, the keyboard shortcuts are super helpful! I did not know about the option-click ability to copy a clip.

Ok. You had me at number 2.

Thank you for the good tips. especially reversal sound effect is really awesome.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Thanks so much for checking it out! 👊

[@j3054]

Thank you! I've been trying to figure out the reverb effect for years! As always, your videos are the perfect length and delivery. I still can't believe your subs aren't in the 100ks.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Appreciate the encouragement so much! I just need to wait for the lords of KZbin to bestow blessings upon my channel 😂 We will get there someday!

[@bmxbanditdude]

Nicely done with great ideas. Thanks to Jen for pointing me here. And also great to see how your videos have evolved over time 🤙

quick but so helpful .. thanks

[@Brad_West]

Great job bro! All 5 are solid audio tips! Particularly enjoyed the reverb extension tip. Great job! Keep at it! 😄🙌🏼

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Thank you my dude!

[@JaroslavBengl]

Really great tricks! 🤩

[@marcromanbravo]

Bro, that reverb extension tip is amazing! I had a bunch of sound fx in my Baby Yoda video that I wanted to do that with last week, but I had no idea you could add extra sound space to the end of a sound by using a gap in a compound clip. Thank you so much! I'll be using this endlessly from now on. I'm sure there are plugins etc but I wanted to use only what was built into FCPX. Again, thanks, Bro!

[@TheFinalCutBro]

I’m pretty sure nearly every one of my videos as of late has used this. It’s seriously a game changer when working with SFX and music. Thank you so much for the comment! I gotta go check that Baby Yoda video now.

[@BangkokExplorer]

Awesome tips. Look forward to putting them into practice. Cheers!

what a great video !!!

[@ErikLifted]

So helpful buddy! So much Great Information 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 For me as a DJ who creat mixtapes I didn’t even know that fcp has a lot of those options as well. I feel so embarrassed 😅

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Haha dude I didn't know you were a DJ! That's sick. Its kinda crazy how much stuff is packed into FCP that we don't even realize 😂 But it's easy to forget that when there are so many great plugins out there. Thanks for watching and the support my dude!

This was immensely helpful brotha. Such an awesome tutorial 🙌🏼 I seriously had no idea you could use a gap clip to extend audio effects of audio tracks. Keep up the hustle Dyl. Your channel should be way bigger than it is.

Thanks so much other Dyl! Seriously means a lot coming from you. 👊

Thanks fir the hacks. 👍

[@TheFinalCutBro]

I’m sure actual hackers will hate me for calling them that! 😂 thank you so much for watching!

[@bobrosberg55]

As always, really loved your video! My question is the part about stereo panning. I could not see or tell where you placed the key frame. My next question, which will probably reveal my level, is it seemed that you added only one key frame. I always thought another key frame was needed for when the to indicate the finishing point. Hope you understand my question and thanks for your videos 👍

[@TheFinalCutBro]

The keyframe is on the far right side! You need to change the audio into stereo pan, then you’ll see the option to add keyframes. Secondly, you only need to add one keyframe! Any changes before/after that will automatically add more keyframes.

[@bezinstrukcji8665]

Thx as always! Also Limiter is quite useful tool to normalize the volume throughout the whole video. However somehow I always have problem to fully understand what is exactly going on there ;)

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Yes! I use the limiter so much, it's some kind of black magic that I will never understand. 😂 But it's so nice to have for amping up the volume without distorting your mix. Thanks for watching as always! 👊

[@RyanMenseWildlife]

Very helpful. Thanks!

That Reverb thing is interesting 🤨 i never knew we can do that to compound clip with a gap. Definitely ll use that in ongoing project 😁👆🏼

Everytima I try to add a cap clip on my audio track it's being added to the video one and cannot be dragged and moved. Help?!

[@lubin2764]

same problem

[@dannypgrizzle]

Any tips on how ISO audio tracks from a 4-person interview can be automixed like a Dugan? I bought four Tentacle Track-e recorders, so this is going to be a regular thing for me.

[@justdoit3379]

nice thx very much!

[@welovefoods]

that was a great video, but I was searching for something else and this was recommended. but I still have the question, All my music is mixed up and not organised in folders. now I don't know which one is final cut default and which one is purchased, is there a way I can identify? thanks

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Thanks for watching! There isn’t a 100% for sure way to tell (to my knowledge) but one method you can use is just by dragging the audio clip to your timeline, it will either be colored green, blue, or teal. Green represents a music track, blue is typically dialogue, and teal is a sound effect. Final Cut Pro has their sound effects already pre-determined, so if you placed an audio track and it was teal, you would know it’s a default Final Cut Pro sound effect as it’s already color coded. Typically, Final Cut Pro determines most third-party sound effects as dialogue, unless you choose different import settings. So most third-party sounds will come in blue. Unfortunately I don’t really have a better method for you, but if I think of something, I’ll let you know!

[@welovefoods]

@@TheFinalCutBro it will definitely help, Thank you. looking forward to see you grow on KZbin bro 😎 good luck ;)

[@DroneKingsInDarwin]

How do you make a studio recorded effect sound natural to the environment?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Thanks for the question! I have a tutorial that might help get you started in that direction, on creating immersive sound design. The portion that talks about footsteps might help you quite a bit, with the use of some effects. Check it out if you’re interested! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqWqgJqprN5kgrc Thanks for watching!

[@messyfilms6325]

Everytime I try to create a gap clip in my audio it defaults to the video clip. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

I apologize for such a huge delay in response. I somehow missed your comment! -- Unfortunately that's a limitation from FCPX. If you press Option + W, it will create a gap clip, but ONLY on the main timeline. It's seriously frustrating at times. The fix for this is to select your audio element, press CMD + G so that it creates a secondary storyline, then drag the gap clip from the main timeline, to the secondary storyline where your audio element is. THEN you can select both and press Option + G to create a compound clip. Frustrating I know, but unfortunately that's the only workaround (that I am aware of) currently.

[@messyfilms6325]

@@TheFinalCutBro I've used a couple tricks on some videos on me and my son's channel and they've worked great.

[@andreasvanneerbos]

@@TheFinalCutBro Awesome tips! You could also use a freeze (shift-h) to create a gap in the audio
