10 ROOKIE MISTAKES Beginners Make in Final Cut Pro

[@anapantz]

OH MY GOD... I have been using FCP forever but never bothered to learn it the right way... no patience. This one video would have saved me soooooo much time over the past 10+ years. Thank you so much for sharing this invaluable information. I guess I need to spend more time learning.

[@WarriorsPhoto]

You and me both. The things we learn by doing a little research. Do you use other NLE software?

[@anapantz]

@@WarriorsPhoto Not really... just helping my husband with iMovie and Capcut so he can populate his own channels.

[@darwinstravel3646]

I discovered that your video tutorials are the most efficient way to learn and improve quickly. Thank you for your hard work.

[@Serge1913]

Always happy to help!

Best Final Cut pro content on youtube .

Number 7 absolutely blew my mind. I've had to edit a few videos now where I've wanted to edit the sound, so I would DUPLICATE THE AUDIO, cut it into parts, and fade the two tracks into each other to create the illusion that there was only a single track fading down. I didn't even consider keyframing sound, and I had NO IDEA that this R shortcut existed. You just cut my editing time for audio to a fraction of what it was. Thank you sir!

[@mynusten]

Thanks, Serge, these are absolutely awesome tips and really appreciated the ducking & vertical video tip. Massive help. Cheers! 🍻

[@Serge1913]

Glad it was helpful!

[@WarriorTier]

I can’t believe I didn’t know some of these! I’ve been using Final Cut since the old days. Thank you!

[@BikeLaneEnds]

Whoa! The Save Effects Preset is going to be big help for me. I didn't know that.

[@SteveLacante]

Very helpful. Many thanks Serge.

[@Serge1913]

Glad to hear that!

[@TheArtificialAnalyst]

Serge, as always awesome video! The first tip already got me hooked, was manually dragging the attached clips😅 maybe I have missed something, but how do you replace the gap clip with another clip? I now click on lift from timeline and paste another clip where the gap was.. Keep up the great work!

[@mmsk1717]

On a German Keyboard instead of the Tilde Key, which we do not have, we use ^ (Hochzeichen / Caret). Trim the start: opt+ß - Trim the end: opt+ü

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Wonderful - thank you!

Amazing! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ajadrew]

Used FCPX for years & I'm still not very good at it re this type of stuff!! Thank you - 👍 😊

[@thexiloid]

Awesome, thank you!!! Now I finally know why my video is blurry during playback! Switched to Better Quality :))

[@soundwise]

Great video, but keep in mind that not all users use English keyboard so the default keys for the shortcuts (like the tilde key and the brackets) are not there but you have to make the shortcuts in the Command Editor.

[@prosegod]

I love how bro explains stuff. He could teach anything and it will stick.

[@mtamech535]

I've been waiting for someone to show me how to do the ` key thing for so long. I knew it was possible, I forgot how to do it. I'm saving this video for the next time I forget 😅

[@craigw.scribner6490]

Thanks, Serge!

[@minorvideofilms683]

Thanks Serge

[@AndreBouchard]

There is no tilda key on my french Canadian keyboard. Is there a way to reconfigure the function to another key?

[@alrikjaegard6655]

Thank you very much for the first shortcut. This function has made me lose my mind countless times.

[@Serge1913]

Magnetic timeline FTW

[@alrikjaegard6655]

@@Serge1913 Please, what is the name of this function, this shortcut is not the same on an AZERTY (french) keyboard?

[@spiralfirst6488]

Fantastic video. But how do you know all these things???!

[@ryanseif]

Nice video.

[@bartonlynch]

I cannot get the tilde trick to work as my keyboard is not US. Even if I change it in preferences, does not work. Can't change the key in the assignment keys menu either. I really need to unlock this feature.

Thanks serge :)

[@infiveg]

Спасибо большое. Я ваш единственный подписчик из России?

[@seecraig]

Hmm. I use Create Archive to make a complete copy of the card first. Then I import from that. Copies are a good thing. Drives crash. Clips become corrupted. I always Archive for safe keeping.

[@Serge1913]

Camera archives are a great way to protect your media!

Time to move to Davinci Resolve :)
