Steve Martin: Working Smarter & Faster in FCPX

[@iPhonedo]

Steve is just fantastic. I was lucky enough to be in one of his classes. I learned so much.

[@RossAdams]

That mix down audio through grouping is AMAZING!!

[@pablopicoso]

Wow! You just helped me with three huge headaches that I didn’t know how to fix since I didn’t know the terminology to search for them. I’ve had to learn FCPX all in KZbin so if you don’t know what to call something you don’t know how to ask. Maybe you could do a video just on terminology so we can build the lingo.

[@simomonster]

Love Steve tips and tricks ! Stuff that evades me but thank god we have such wonderful people that remind us .

[@Prejippie]

You're right; I have been frustrating since starting Final Cut Pro X a few years ago. Of course, I never knew anything about video editing, so I can't blame my problems on that, but one of the biggest issues was not knowing how to make things stay put. Not knowing these small things has kept me NOT creating the video that I really want, because I was limited in what I could do. Thanks for clearing up a little of that clip connection business, so that I can more easily create what I see in my head. :)

[@ImaginetMedia]

Brilliant as usual. I learn something everything I watch Steve and/or Mark. This one though is the motherlode of tips. I don't think I knew any of those. I would have paid to watch this.

[@terraformingthesubconsciou7131]

FINALLY efficient tutorial that shows me how ro improve my workflow. THANKS SO MUCH!!!

[@frodomail]

Gap clips as timing devices is really a cool idea! Steve is great!

[@melik5398]

Wow. A goldmine of tips. Thanks Steve! I own a few of the Ripple Training courses. I've learned so much over the years. Great stuff.

[@TheRussianGenius]

I've been using Premiere Pro for 5 years now I think. This IMO is even a good beginner's guide to FCPX for advanced Premiere Pro users.

[@TheWineSiren]

So many helpful tips. Mind blown. Onward to saving time! Thank you!

[@brcmedia9551]

Used the option w ctl d tip to add a three frame slate at the top of my pieces, will be part of my workflow from now on. Thanks!

[@MrSTAdventures]

Brilliant, so many tips given in such a short time. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@Bunevich]

Great tips!!!

[@JanAndhisfiets]

Love the info! Never worked with these groups on line above the magnetic line. Still i wish it would possbile to just add a limiter to a certain storyline without grouping them into a compound clip..

[@ItsCaputo]

Replace with ambiance is amazing! +1

[@generphoto]

Awesome tricks and tips!!!

[@CarlosBarronJr]

Very helpful!

[@JonniArmani]

Excellent tutorial Steve.

[@Juliano_DJOL]

Wish they cld of given him some more time to talk! I love the quick tips like this!

[@boardingurban]

Most important tip in final cut pro x is to use Premiere Pro. Fixes all these issues.

[@musicmakesmehappy6902]

Awesome sir... Really useful

[@andya1584]

Great video!! But Why can't I copy the part I selected with the Range tool? I tried command+C but it just doesn't copy that specific range..

[@micheltheodorou1110]

surgical sound removal 😂 the great Steve Martin 👌

[@AANasseh]

This was great! Thanks! I have a question: I use a lot of repeating graphics mostly Jpegs or PNG files that I incorporate into many projects. How can I incorporate them into the FCPx's base library as generators or some other way so I don't have to import them every time I need them from an external folder? Thank you for your answer! :)

[@KaySlagman]

You can make the generators in Motion. I have my own library of illustrator logos there. When working with vector, don’t forget to mark the checkmark next to Fixed Resolution on the layer, or it will not treat it as vector.

[@AANasseh]

@@KaySlagman Thank you!

[@JeffRemasPhotography]

Excellent as always

[@melanienolley]

love this!

[@studioinweddings2339]

thank you sir

[@ElParaisoVerde]

thanks a lot !!

[@brazukadanceschool]

Holy sh#%*$@%&! 12:55 just saved my life! I used to have a lot of headaches with that !

[@TaoCovillault]

Wow yeah that's a great one ! But what do you mean by "tilde key", "grave key"... I'm trying of lot of keys but didn't find it so far, maybe it's something else on french keyboard :/ How would it be called in the visual key binding thing ? Thanks !

[@TaoCovillault]

Found, on the french keyboard it's cmd +

[@IannisMaragakis]

Steeve on screen? Insta-thumbs-up.

[@toxotis70]

it would be nice to show, what are the benefits of magnetic timeline...against traditional NLE . With a real example maybe, against another app, like avid or premiere.

[@dcplyr]

Great tips Steve.

[@tarasshevchenko8917]

John Spirou Here is a blog I wrote not too long ago, where I discuss the initial struggle with magnetic timeline, and then finding the benefits. There is one benefit of using the ‘storyline’ slug as an ‘island”, or group of ‘islands’ to which you can anchor your video and audio clips. I still haven’t seen anybody use his technique, yet it works for me, especially when editing longer projects. Maybe you would find this article interesting, maybe not. blog.soundsnap.com/2018/03/09/understanding-final-cut-pro-x-magnetic-timeline/

[@cutpeople1389]

I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but I hope it helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6vGn4t8nbl2Z80

Hai sir, i want to know the last one shortcut option,,,how to roll the clip without move the connection point.. what is the short cut.... Could you explain that????? plz......

[@TaoCovillault]

@@LumaForge I don't have it on the french keyboard... Could anywone tell my how it's called in the key binding settings ?

[@TaoCovillault]

@@LumaForge Alright, found ! Thank you For information, on French keyboard it's cmd + < ;)

[@HorseandMuleAdventureswithTrai]

Thank you!

[@timmoore6656]

Bravo

[@rickved]

Most of these instructions don't work. Is my computer broken?

[@groundzerro]

what is a tilde /grav key?

[@groundzerro]

@@LumaForge :) thanks

[@FCPWHAT]

4:28 - and this is the messy part of mixing roles. It would have made far more sense for Apple to allow the consolidation of just the audio track clips into tracks.. sorry, Lanes! so mixing can commence, without the need to create a compound clip which of course includes the unnecessary step of combining the video and creating a whole new mega clip/timeline.. totally unnecessary and slow. I hope Apple will address this in 10.4.4 - but I’m not holding my breath!

11:10 One frame gap strick

Command option click 14:07
