Final Cut Tricks Pt. 2 | 25 MORE Things You Didn't Know You Can Do in FCP

[@MacTravellers]

Smart conform??? I had no idea, I was doing this manually! Thanks so much!

[@JennJagerPro]

That one is one of my faves! It works really well too.

[@mrdonsmith]

I didn't think I would see anything I didn't know, but, boy, I did not know about dumping all text into a closed caption, adding carriage returns, then, in one move, split every carriage return into separate closed captions. That tip alone is worth its weight in gold! Thank you.

[@BlaneHenderson]

Split Captions...thank you Jenn! Also love, love the way you get right to it without fluff in the beginning.

[@JennJagerPro]

Yesssss that's a good one.

[@moreclientele]

All 25 tips were great! But definitely appreciate replacing multiple transitions, range check and optical flow! Thank you! 💯 Also, just became a new sub!

[@tyeblake2612]

I like the play around feature! great job by the way Mrs. Hollywood 😎

[@singlespeedeats745]

That last one "Teardrop fade" is awesome. Will definitely be using that! Great video!

[@OrigEntertainmentOfficial]

For the markers, you can press m twice in a row and it opens up that dialogue box. Instead of double-clicking it. Also, that to-do list and completed list show up as their own lists in the Index. Which is also searchable. Super powerful.

[@JennJagerPro]

Yes someone mentioned the double clicking M for markers in another comment. Great tip! I learn new stuff all the time!

[@SelbstversorgerRigotti]

Dear Jenn, have you tried to hit M twice? :-) Cheers, Florian

[@jasonmulikita]

Thanks Jenn - you’re a star!!!

[@ThatMakesSenseToMe]

WHOA smart conform blew me away. Thanks as always.

[@StyleArchitexts]

Wow the smart conform was definitely a game changer

[@TheMusicRecordingNetwork]

I had to sub because you are showing a lot of professional points and not point all other show ..... wow I will be an exspert soon.... lol

[@MarshallJohnsonJr]

My favorite is the Captioning tip! You should do a whole video on how to maximize your captions in FCP! Thanks so much Jenn!❤

[@honeycrispmedia]

So helpful!! Would love more of these!

[@KeyWAV]

I usually go into these videos thinking I know it all already, and most of the time it’s true!..this wasn’t the case here. Awesome tips and thanks for sharing! Had no idea about the smart conform option 🤯

[@drethedroneguy]

You’re awesome! This helps with multitudes of tasks I didn’t even know. I owe you a beer. Thanks!!!

[@janplexy]

7:08 - Use “l” key for in, and “O” key for out.

[@topstimbo]

Thank you! I watched your video and literally 10 minutes later used the smart conform. Saved me hours!! Thanks 😊

[@TomLong]

Loved both parts. Great pacing. Packed with useful information.

[@venuslnd]

Just found your channel, lots of useful final cut pro information. Thank you.

[@JennJagerPro]

[@AfoteyAnnum]

This was right on time for me! Thank the Algorithm™ for this one~!

[@HEATHERTITUS]

i will implement some of these. I like that I can add notes. and space holders. Thank you

[@WorkingOnExploring]

Very helpful...a few I knew and a few I hadn't even known what they even meant. Even if it was 1 tip out of the 25, it was worth watching! Thanks so much for the content. Subscribed!

[@JandeBloois1952]

Thanks. I do more with CC lately, and I did not know about the splitting up of long text fields. Handy!

[@woodycarr]

Great tips! Learned several I had not known about and was reminded of several I had forgotten about. Thanks!

[@fischergreen4134]

Brilliant video I leant so much Tge voice over isva game changer for me

[@iangordon8688]

Last tip really useful, thanks

[@princearthur4946]

Excellent presentation! Thank you for your great tutorials!

[@scottabergermd]

Phenomenal tutorial, one of the best on FCP X I’ve ever seen…thank you. I noticed some of your footage (from other KZbin videos I’ve seen of yours), is of the Boca Resort, right in my back yard in Boca Raton. Are you guys based down here in South Florida, and if so, do you ever have events, or workshops? Would love to reach out.

[@josephasghar]

Some great tips here. Bravo!

[@LanzaroteShowcase]

Awesome. Just when you think you know everything she pops in a new one! There were some goods ones in here!

[@ErikJVB]

Thank you so much Jenn for your help! I think you’re an incredible person and resource!

[@JennJagerPro]

Thank you so much!

[@TheCouchGM]

Great info! I've been recording audio in voice memos until I saw in here there is a voice recorder in FCP.... *face palm*

[@JennJagerPro]

There are so many hidden nuggets in FCP, don't be too hard on yourself. I still learn new stuff all the time.

[@lichinhomacvideos3749]

Thank you. As usual, great tips, and there is always something that I did not know. In particular, I loved the split captions! I had never noticed it. In your #18 tip: it seems to imply that a gap clip is black, or is white, but it is not. It is actually transparent. That background color is just how empty areas of the timeline are displayed in the viewer in FCP, it is NOT exported. So if one wants to put, say, black text over a white background, a generator is indeed necessary.

[@johnfunchess1322]

I've been using Final Cut since 2004 and love the tips I never knew about like Find and Replace Text and Globally Replacing Transitions. Thanks so much for showing these and all your other great tips and tricks!

[@SakreCubes]

I have been using fcpx for more than a year now (premier pro for 4 years before this). Never knew you can do these kinds of stuffs in video editor.

[@ChadB]

Thanks for the tips...very useful. Tip #25...didn't know about the Opacity slider. I manually keyframe both ends of the clip to fade in and out. The slider will definitely help speed up the workflow. 👍🏾

[@DanLaPlaca]

I LOVE your tutorials. Right to the point and explained really well. I learned so many time saving techniques from your videos. Thanks for doing all these. Keep them coming!

[@williamballadares4529]

[@garryentropy]

great tips, many thanks

[@camerasutra247]

You Rock Jen

[@ClassicCyclingCC]

Thanks Jenn. Very useful tips. Probably just me but I have never had too much luck with Optical flow and Frame blending. I don’t find these features to work very well.

[@GeeQueee]

Unbelievable, ur awesome thanks

[@NateGigovic]

This was very usefull. Thank You

[@co_jones]

These are great thanks

[@grabgonow6482]

This is the best video ever

[@digitalroadfilms]

Great tutorials . You go at correct pace , show where to find by enlarging, add text to see shortcuts. Thanks

[@davidpurple3698]

Thanks a lot- great instructions. Missing: select part of a video clip before you import the whole file. When import you can select part of a video instead of the full length. How to?

[@robacheni]

your Awesome glad i found u

[@elvislikesphotos]

These are amazing

[@davidsgardell]

Great content! 👍 I'm new so trying to soak up as much as I can! Question about the Anchor and snapping in general. I expect there to be an option for snapping it to the center of an object, instead of having to do it by eye or bringing out the calc to find the center. Is there a way? Thought this was common, when rotating an object for example. Also, sometimes when I'm using Shapes, and I duplicate that shape on top of the other, it's not always aligned, super weird. I've had strange behaviours using shapes, not working as expected, not aligning when say doing a cut-out. Keep up the good work!!

[@The.Alabama.Woodsman]

I love skimming. Is there a way to skim as you play/review while in edit mode? In other words, if you play the video in edit mode, the line skims what is playing.

[@SanMiguelBulls]

Thank you

[@KathySierraVideo]

I didn’t like this video because it showed me how clueless I have been in FCPX 😜🤦🏼‍♀️. Just kidding… thank-you sooooo much 🙏. I can’t decide what is my favorite, but the “to-do marker” is going to be extremely useful!

[@JennJagerPro]

I still learn new things all the time!

[@tamaradevi2437]

Use it to ya advantage im bent n focused

[@skipneumann1]

Smart conform !

[@skinbones]

when i make a speed change at a certain point in a clip ( shift + b), sometimes I would like to change the position of that cut, how do i do that?

[@claudioagmfilho]

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Awesome tips!

[@dennismitchell7944]

Loved

[@JennJagerPro]

Awesome.

[@carlosjimenez6738]

If you can help me figure why my Go Pro Hero 10 video keeps freezing my projects. I'm at the point where I'm going to drop FCP or Go Pro

[@ArabAmericanChannel]

👍👍👍

[@reignmakerman]

These tips are amazing Jenn!! Quick question: When I expand the audio in my very first video clip, it won’t allow me to drag the audio it past the 0:00 marker (actually I can extend it past 0.00 but it is greyed out until the first video starts). This was not always the case - any idea how I can fix it so that audio can play at the start (without needing a video placeholder above it in the timeline). Also when I’m previewing my timeline, and it gets to the end it does not stop. Instead the playhead goes back to the start and plays my entire project again from the start. Gah! Any help would be amazing. You’re the best!

[@MoeBass]

Start music before beginning of video: Hit home key to move play head to start of timeline, option W to insert gap, move audio to start under the gap, trim or widen gap as needed to fit your leader audio track. To prevent your project from going back to the beginning during preview, turn off Play Loop with Cmd-L. (Check View > Playback > Loop Playback to see Loop status)

[@asraiSOA]

“I mean, I would never do that.” LMAO

[@JimHarmer]

I have used Final Cut professionally for 10 years and only now I learn there’s a record voiceover function?

[@JennJagerPro]

There's so much tucked away in there!

[@ArabAmericanChannel]

🙂👍👍👍

[@ekphotography]

I wish all markers could be selected and pasted

[@savasdevrez660]

I watched tNice tutorials baked af it actually helps if you get into it

[@leojames2050]

@jenn if you want automatic captions try this tip from the FCP BRO kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWTahpSOl5h3orM

[@JennJagerPro]

I saw this. Excellent.

[@jenspettergrnnesby3329]

Hey, I just started to look at your tutorials. I like your topics. But you do things too fast, so several times I cant see what you are really doing. 2 examples. I often get horisontal clips that would look better in vertical. (smart conform).I try to figure what you do to "modify" vertical. I cant find the "modify" part. 2. When you want to import just some of your footage, from media import. I try to mark parts of the clip, but I am not able to simply do it. I am new to this, so maybe you reach out to people more experienced than me. I like you stuff anyway.

[@HelivantAerialFilming]

Are you married Jenn?

[@ErikJVB]

Title needs one more L!

[@luisasophiaizquierdo173]
