Dude, thank you. Haven’t touched Final Cut Pro in 5 years after suffering a brain injury, and when I went back to it, I lost all knowledge how to use it. I am now very much a visual learning, and your videos have been a huge help. Thank you.

[@wanderingfennec]

Wow, never give up my friend, this kind of comments are really needed to help the brilliant youtubers like this one to continue creating awesome videos

[@colorgradingcentral]

SO sorry to hear that but your determination is inspiring. Keep it up and thank you for the comment!

[@sunonymous1]

I’m so glad you’re ok. 🙏🏾

[@Dudewheresmybike]

As a person who also has a traumatic brain injury from a car accident causing me to have a shortened attention span, confusion, dizziness, it is so helpful having these quick bite sized videos that I can intake and retain instead of hour long videos. So thank you @colorgradingcentral

[@Taker1995HD]

@@colorgradingcentral Can you help me with a special request? I want to communicate on WhatsApp or Telegram, is it possible??🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

[@DanielmaniaTSU]

I had tried other video editing programs like Vegas pro, Premier pro, something complex to use, so I wanted to give Final Cut a try and I was delighted. Many options, most of them have an assistant, you don't need to be a professional and with this guide you learn faster.

[@sabrinasteinmann2532]

What can I say..... Best FCPX video for beginners ever !!!! Period! You deserve sooo!! much credit for the time spent making this.

[@manuelvalera959]

this is a good material about the way of edit a video using final cut pro, it is a topic that although it is at the forefront not everyone knows how to fully address it. we are grateful for your effort, we hope to see more of it on your channel

[@kenjiloy79]

You are a life-saver! Pls don't remove this. I want to learn more as I move forward with my project! Thank you.

[@diywithderby6069]

I can't even formulate a comment for how helpful this has been. Unreal. Thank you so much 💯

[@avijitdutta93]

This has to be one of the best "how-to" videos about a piece of software ever created. I learnt so much and the pacing was spot on. I was able to follow along and create my own test project with ease. I didn't get lost once. Keep up the fantastic work and I look forward to watching more of your excellent content. Thanks, man

[@DaminiNazareth]

For months I've been dreading how to edit, film, cut and everything else that needs to be done to make a good video. It's been doing my head in until I found you🙏🙏🙏I absolutely know nothing, but now I can learn from your tutorials. Thank you man👍

[@PenguinInguinLodge]

I am in the process of starting a KZbin channel and purchased Final Cut for it. I gained a lot from this video. Thank you!

[@daviddev5615]

Absolutely blown away with your color grading training video.

[@bitcoinmacho2403]

I've seen a lot of videos, but this one about Final Cut Pro is the greatest I've ever seen and it will save me so much time. I've been using Final Cut for two years, but I've only used it for simple blade/jump cuts. I only started editing my audio last month. Advice on shortcuts has been really helpful. I'm grateful.

[@juliosester281]

Best FCP tutorial on the KZbins. Thanks for taking time to make this to help others :)

[@simoharjane7823]

You are so good at teaching . Color grading in the art you mastered .

[@shayneb226]

You don't know how grateful I am for this video. 🥺Been putting off FCP for a few months because of how overwhelmed it is for a complete beginner like me to learn it by myself. Now I even know how to improve my audio in just one tutorial😭 You're the GOAT!

[@vonscogin8234]

Thank you for this very organized not too fast not too slow tutorial, I'm a tourist videographer and have filmed and edited videos on teh roda with Premiere, but now I have to work ina company where they only use Final Cut, so this works pretty well for me so they hire me. Thank You

[@stevek46]

Wow...wow...just wow......awesome tutorial!!! I'll be watching this one over and over. Thank you!!!

[@davesantos1278]

This is perfect tutorial. It was perfectly amazing. Thanks

[@nestermaratos1070]

"I can only echo what others have said - this is an amazing resource, really helps to explain the basics of Final Cut Pro to new (and not-so-new) users and covers so many features. I'm so happy with my first movie out of it - couldn't have done it without your help.

[@michman1956]

One of the best FCP tutorials I’ve ever seen! Great job! Just subbed and liked.

[@NinaDhaliwal510]

Holy cow , I didn’t know about the .mov versus the mp4 thing ! Thank you so much for this tutorial , I have only used Final Cut for a couple months now ! Thanks again !

[@tuckerr2165]

Top 5 one of the most informative videos on the entire KZbin. I can imagine the hours that went into making this video. Thank you a lot!

[@ClaesFeldt]

What a video this was !!! Calm and relaxed and full of information for a beginner as me in FCP. This was a MASTERCLASS !!

[@AdelAhmed-Podcast]

Thank you so much for simplifying the knowledge that makes Final Cut Pro so simple. You impressed me with your explanation. Thank you once more.

[@oscarsotelo2324]

[@chainadey4456]

[@riciphariss107]

such a long but very detailed video. currently on the trail version because i still find it so hard to follow but this video is VERY helpful. thank you!

[@klarrisavanvolkinburg3650]

Best video for FCP even better explained than my paid class subscription.. I will stay anonymous which class I am taking but it’s ridiculous. Good job.

[@krishnabiswas8357]

This video is full of excellent information. Everything discussed in this video is very clear and very well explained for easy and better understanding. Thanks for taking your time to share such an amazing video with us .

[@kareem7051]

[@JayneTata302]

Dude!! Awesome tutorial. Thanks for the help and will def be using your video as a cheat sheet for my beginner edits.

[@zelmacastricone1228]

Massively helpful, thank you 👏 Been in Premiere since getting started as a filmmaker, and making the switch over to save on time.

[@olighosh8837]

Wow. Awesome. I watched this entire guide in one sitting. You packed everything I need to know from beginning editing in FCP to exporting the final project, and you gave me great tips for efficiency and compatibility and you even decreased the intimidation of colour correction. Thanks so much, man. I'm now a subscriber.

[@wgprodutionstudio]

Thanks master Denver, you are just so special

[@anuraggirgis431]

Thank you so much for making this video! I have a new Macbook Pro with Final Cut Pro, and was definitely confused. This was great!😊

[@rumakrmokar9100]

It is the best guide video for editing. Very useful for and got lot of information about editing

[@theodoreregino6390]

One of the best among the bunch of FC tutorials. Thanks for doing this. While listening to your instructions, your background music kept distracting me 😢. Then when I wanted to see & hear the effects of the functionalities you’re explaining, the background music kept intruding. Diminished the value of your VG work.

[@adalbertocabrera9999]

excellent video, I must say that every detail you mention really worked for me, it is very interesting, I thank you in advance for sharing this information!

[@Tech-Amigo]

This is an awsome video, thanks for the clear intructions. i have taken notes!!

[@danielmurigi5975]

Very educative and informing

[@boostingyourbiz]

Thank you so much for creating this video! I just purchased Final Cut Pro (previous experience with Camtasia Studio) and this was my first time creating a video in the tool. This step by step was exactly what I was looking for. Perfect for FCP newbies like myself. Much appreciated!

[@nanniwodskow2363]

This was insightful and I followed along using the basics to create and export a video for KZbin. However, I found that Adobe Premiere Pro 2021 subscription to have a lot more bells and whistles at the ready. Thanks for the tutorial man!

[@avishiktabanerjee7833]

Just awesome.you explain very well all things .I appreciate it.Thanx for sharing this with us

[@ypl236]

Just moved from adobe premiere to the final cut. Very informative video; thank you!!!

Oh that's awesome! So glad to hear it!

[@Shondie_Andretti]

Wow!! You made this so easy to learn

[@rolandocamarena7767]

Thank you man 🙏🏼 I still hate myself for moving from PP to FCPX but thanks to you I hate myself a bit less 😂🙏🏼

[@shaellywork]

Incredible information thanks to this video now I know more about the subject, without a doubt very important, thanks I will share it with all my friends

[@rakhalsui4103]

Thanks so much, this was super helpful. I started editing a few months ago when I started my family channel and this has shed so much light on finished looks that I couldn't obtain! Hopefully my next video will go much smoother with editing.

[@clovismohamed5823]

Hi - THANK you for a great walk through on how to get started - brilliant! I am now following the steps hitting play and pause of course as a newbie 🤣 However I have seem to get into trouble really fast. I can't play my videoclips without "frames being dropped" message and glitchy playback - i've checked proxy and in another YT video (searching for the mistake) it was suggested to switch from proxy to original files.... any advise thoughts on what went wrong in my process - THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for all the great and usable content you give out!!!

[@bitkong9445]

Thank, but you skipped the part of what color system to use when creating projects. I have problems with HDR over exposure..

[@DrishtiRaval17]

Very well done! Definitely going to try the trial version...kinda just starting to learn editing, but seems like FCP is more intuitive and 'cleaner' than Premiere Pro.

[@MerciMayawati]

Hey thanks for this great Guide with lots of tips and tricks! Just wandering: you mentioned an Advanced FCP Tutorial coming where you would show more about collar correction etc. When is that coming out, or do you have a link already to it? Many thanks 🚀🙏

[@sevenlee1014]

Please do a tutorial video of Apple Motion 🙏🏻😭

[@smritikanahalder6959]

Thank you for the sharing video

[@melikexb]

When I check Cinema grade product, I can't exactly understand enough from the text what are the differences between Basic, Pro and Filmmaker packages. Can you make a short video about it with examples?

[@nagarajarajan5979]

Nice post thanks 😊

[@RyanHicks306]

I love Color Grade and Final Cut. I have been doing more work with HDR content and was wondering workflow in Color Grade? I have used both for years in non-HDR video, but now working (and loving) the content I make in HDR, I would love to know how to get all of them to play nice together.

[@devarshiroy1232]

Thank you

[@travelfoodielove]

Ya a godsend

[@sushmaroy1827]

Greetings and thank you, I have video from Scuba diving that is all blue. Will Cinema Grade correct such videos?

[@altidore1tv676]

Waaooo I love your videos

[@CatherinCooper]

Is there an in depth video on how to use this plugin in FCP? I'm considering it but wanted to make sure I won't be frustrated trying to learn how to use it. I'm not a final cut pro wiz yet.

[@colorgradingcentral]

Yes there is if you get 'filmmaker' package we go in super depth not just on the plugin but actually break down the art of color grading from the beginning.
