[@JeffGeerling]

You not only showed the feature named in the title, you demonstrated a ton of functionality and other goodies besides. This video will save me time in every future edit, so thank you!

[@JeremySry]

that HAND tool to shuttle through timeline is CLUTCH. wow!

[@nigeltozer8330]

Without doubt the most useful few minutes of FCPX advice I've seen - thanks!

[@dewhammer]

This is golden advice! Will forever look at you guys as mentors.

[@kontikonsumi2028]

These dudes show me something new every time. This is just pure quality only. No yada yada, just down to the point crucial info from guys who know this tool down to the detail. Thanks again!

[@4kdronetv]

This is one of the most useful short tutorials on FCP I've seen so far. Thanks !

[@pauldelcour]

Now if that isn't the most simple editing speed up, I don't know what is. Brilliant!

[@palebluedotstudios]

This is truly the Greatest FCPX Video of All Time. THANK YOU!

[@churchaudiolife]

I knew the press and hold for some things, but this opened up a world of possibilities. Thank you.

[@robert.janzen]

It’s now added to my private playlist. Thank you for this valuable video.

[@KitLaughlin]

Mark, a happy customer here; this is your best free tutorial, *ever*, IMHO. Three thumbs up! "Press and hold"; who knew?

[@semion.tsysaruk]

Link override is very helpful, thank you Mark! 🙏🏻

[@seanohaimheirgin1047]

Great video, thanks! I'll be watching this again and again until I have it all memorised 🙂

[@BoldFlavorVegan]

What a gem of a video. So jam packed with valuable info. This is going to speed up my editing like crazy!

[@TheUnMarketingGroup]

Tilde/grave...where have you been all my life! No more lift from primary story, edit, replace as primary story! 🤯🤯

[@BTSflyer]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, I had be wondering about slip and slide trimming. Press and Hold is definitely a time saver and simplifies the work.

[@Bryantfstephens]

Thanks a lot this is great. I knew probably about 90 95% of these but not three or four that you showed that I didn’t know are so helpful. My jaw literally dropped because I hate having to re-time the whole timeline to fix one spot this will save my life thank you.

[@JoeyTeckno]

Awesome shortcuts! I found these by accident several months ago and they ARE true time savers. Thanks for sharing!

[@FredZana]

Wahou ! J'ai appris énormément en 9 minutes. Merci beaucoup ! I learn so much in 9 minutes. Thanks a lot !

[@interwovenstudio]

Wow… game changer. Thank you so much for all of these tips and tricks!!!

[@RonaldKasper]

I’m editing for 3 years with fcp now and didn’t know that you can press and hold keys! Thanks!!

[@KitLaughlin]

since FCP 2 in my case; same experience.

[@jamesholmanfilm7894]

I never knew about the press and hold on keys, so helpful, thank you!

[@richardbrewer2937]

One of the most useful "tip" videos on FCP that I have seen. It also cemented my understanding of the different edit types that are often "under" explained in many training videos. This is a "MUST SEE" short video for anyone learning FCP. Many thanks Mark & Ripple Training.

[@philippefrancken.]

Holy F!!! This will speed up so much of my editing and also eliminated some frustrations along the way! Cheers guys. Keep up the great work.

[@asm101]

OH MY GOODNESS! best advice on fcp I've heard on KZbin so far ... I will be using this technique tomorrow... Thank you!

[@BobbyClements]

this was the most beneficial video for me that I ever watched about FCPX over the last 5 years. THANK YOU

[@RobertHarvey101]

Wow! I has no idea and like Jeff said the demo of using them goes a long way. Thanks.

[@reflexfilms]

GOLD! Pure editing Gold! Thanks Mark - this simple stuff makes so much impact to pure editing.

[@KBBurnfield]

Another fantastic tip and tutorial -- Never knew about this but am using it constantly now!

[@jmax9]

Long time FCPX user here - this is easily the most helpful vid I’ve seen in years, thanks so much 🙏

[@kccstar]

I knew about press and hold but not about the slide edit, thanks!

[@4CardsMan]

Above and beyond expectations. Thanks, Mark.

[@RasMarty_]

Many thanks for the short cuts saves me alot of time🤙🏾

[@batterybikes]

This is great. Thanks a bunch. Additionally, I was trying to figure out what Italian tourist town you were in, then squinted and realized you were in San Francisco. If you guys ever do a Bay Area meetup I'd love to help.

[@SomnathNagawade]

That’s really helpful! New shortcuts to maximise productivity. Thanks Mark

[@federwilf22]

pure GOLD , thank you Mark!

[@kaffeinekeiser9091]

Oh man, the tilde/grave key is my new fave. Thank you.

[@KennethBDone]

This is what makes Ripple Training so good. I wish i knew about press & hold years ago. Such an improvement in my workflow. Thank you so much Mark!

[@rbsinger]

Just another game changing tip from the Masters. Thanks!

[@hefter-film]

Great, thx greetings from Vienna, Austria

[@CreativeVideoTips]

This is so subtle but so powerful! I had no idea about that use of zoom. Well done Mark! You’re the best.

[@ColeDeRuse]

WOW - I’ve spent hundreds of hours in FCPX and knew almost none of this in regards to pressing and holding 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank you!!

[@KitLaughlin]

Thousands of hours in my case (since FCP2!) and I had never heard of these either!

[@360MIX]

THESE TIPS are SUPER HOT!!!... Excellent material RT..

[@philharmonicaz]

New FCP user here, this was something I didn't know about. Thanks!

[@MarkJeffries]

That was a treasure chest of tips!! Thank you!

[@josephcomings]

This is a game changer for me. Thanks!

[@hartmanscott]

How did I not know you could just press and hold versus actually switching tools and then switching back??? This is a great video.

[@SYPCWAK]

Thanks Mark! I agree with the other commentors: there is a lot gold here. Much appreciated.

[@user-tt2qn1cj1x]

Really useful timesaving efficiency tips in this video by Mark. 👍👍🙏🙏👏👏

[@GodfreyGuitar]

Holy cow! Aside from learning about press/hold, I learned a ton about editing in general! I'm going to have to watch this again and take notes!

[@m1kkole1nonen]

Wow, I learned so much new stuff from this. Thank you!

[@KilianMuster]

What time savers! You just solved several annoying issues that drove me nuts in FCP. Thanks!!

[@MarlonAyresUbx]

I've used this shortcuts so many times I might have used these hold functions by accident, never knew it was a thing, great to know, thanks Mark and Ripple Training!

[@planetxdvd]

This just blew my mind with how much time i could save, thank you!!

[@TroyShaw]

Wow, I've been editing fcp since the beginning and had no idea you could hold keys to do this. Thanks.

[@ablemediaproductions]

Fantastic tip, thanks Mark. I've been using FCPX since around 2013 and although I do use the keyboard shortcuts I never knew about the press and hold option. I'm editing a bunch of very similar projects to the one you use to demonstrate these tips right now and I know it'll save me a bunch of time. Thanks again.

[@bmxbanditdude]

Slide edit! Option + T. Of course! I missed this since fcp2 and couldn’t remember what it was called to search it up. Thanks again

[@Kwaxomat]

excellent as always, Thanks Mark!

[@ScaleModelCraft]

This is the best 9 minutes I've watched in weeks!!! So much info in a short time, and so clearly delivered!!! I have saved and Sub'd, and will watch it many times in the future!!!

[@warren_harrison]

Learned two new things. Thanks

[@a_nick_t]

This is the kind of stuff that FCPX does that many “haters” have no idea about. Ripple Training is essential for FCPX users. My first training session was at a seminar with Steve in Boston soon after FCPX came out. Never looked back and RT is still in my toolbox.

[@XYZZY22]

Thank you! Super useful things! Saved!

[@micheltheodorou1110]

Thanks a lot RT.

[@jaybcreighton]

Thank you, Mark, for this very helpful lesson. I'm a newbie to FCP X and video editing in general but I've learned a lot from you guys at RT. Thank you again, sir.

[@SMPVideo1]

Fantastic! Another great lesson on improving the speed of the editing process. Invaluable techniques! Thanks.

[@remektekmedia6641]
