How about a Motion Tutorial for 2023? Would be great to create an intro and outro via Motion for 2023. Thanks again for creating such an invaluable video. 😊

[@TheFinalCutBro]

@@ELTExperiences Reading my mind ;)

[@KrisD007]

I’ve viewed several beginning tutorials and yours is best.

[@haysoos123]

This is one of the few beginner tutorials that show you right away the importance of connecting clips and also being able to move the connection point. It's one of the most fundamental aspects to understanding the magnetic timeline and I think the biggest hurdle for newcomers, especially since no other NLE has this feature. Bravo for making it a priority!

[@KrisD007]

Agreed

[@pjrobs5551]

ive been learning FCP this past week and youre the first to inform me of the tilda key function (and cmd+option clicking) and I really appreciate it! great all-encompassing video, probably the best intro video to FCP tbh

[@MichaelGrode]

I have been using Final Cut for over a year now, but learned a couple new things in this video that are really going to help with editing. Very well made video Dylan.

[@ELTExperiences]

A great tutorial for those that want to go into creating and editing videos with Final Cut Pro in 2023. Thank you for sharing this Dylan! 😊

[@nayyarrazakazmi8386]

Dylan, i like your narrative style of explaining. You explain in a very effective manner which is a hallmark of an excellent teacher. Your videos are concise and precise and explains the concepts very well. Keep it up bro. And by the way, i like your hairstyle as well.

oh my gosh! this is the best tutorial ive ever seen, others are just confusing af or incomplete, ur video gave me a full understanding and answered most of my problem and question, i now can really start using my final cut pro that has been sitting in my laptop for so long, thank you so much for making this video 🙂

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

I'll catch on eventually. There was a time I thought, iMovie was difficult.

[@waffyonyt]

Great video! Would you be so kind as to share you lighting set up and settings please? Thank you again! Subbed!

[@JandKOD]

Hi Dylan, great tutorials. I am trying to visualize if I have cropped too much of a frame, leaving a small black bar that can easily be missed. There is a function somewhere that makes black and white stripes so these areas can easily be found while editing. I just can't remember how to do this. Could you help? I might have seen this tip in one of your videos but again...I cannot find it. Thank you!

[@mahiawelly]

hello Dylan, great video - but I'm having trouble cutting and moving. My final cut pro is set to cut/mark/move frame by frame - I don't know how to turn it off - so that I can cut the video where I want or put a marker and/or move the video where I want and by what distance I want, not by frames ... I can also put markers only on the frame markings on the bar with time - I would like to turn it off - because it is annoying and prevents any work in this program, because it is impossible to trim audio or video exactly .... thanks for your reply

[@SumPixelz]

Thank you for the video. Can you perhaps tell me why once I import my videos in FCP it automatically throws an hdr effect on my content? It really screws it up and I don’t know how to fix it.

[@cybythesea]

Appreciating your videos thank you! I have one clip on top of the other, and the one on topic darker than the other so Im trying to blend the edges but can't find the "Keyer" tab in this newer version of FCPX. Would you suggest using the "Green Screen Keyer" or the Luma Keyed to blend the edges if the darker clip to the lighter one? Thank you!!

[@TheFinalCutBro]

I’d use the Luma keyer if you’re blending a darker clip to a lighter one! The green screen keyer is color based, the luma keyer is luminance based. Hope that helps!

[@cybythesea]

@@TheFinalCutBro you've got a really great style of instruction and I appreciate your quick response

[@ManlyHK1]

Great tutorial thanks so much! Just one question about selecting the resolution- @2:12 this is the resolution of the output file right? Does it have to match the resolution and frame rate of the imported clips? What if say I have a mixture of 4k/60p, 4k/30p n 1080/60p clips - will they all be converted and output to 1080/24p if I wanted to set this for the Project?

[@cinematicknifeart9744]

Uploading in 60FPS is ridiculous. It degrades quality and makes it so most cannot stream it. 24-25fps is better in everything but sports.

[@ThokozaniMtshali47]

wedding video will not work on magnetic time lines. clips has to move freely and allow black spaces in between clips otherwise i will mess up the audio sync and more.

[@giovannipapisca4021]

Hi, I'm Giovanni and I'm subscribed to your very interesting channel. I wanted to ask you a question that I can't seem to solve. First things first: I wanted to know how I can narrow down the font pop-up window in Final Cut. After entering a default title, clicking on the inspector to choose another one, the pop-up window of the various fonts opens, which is very large, not allowing me to preview the font on the viewer. Now, I've tried hard to shrink the font window without success. Can you tell me if there is a way to narrow down this font menu so that I can see the whole viewer and consequently the font on the viewer? I hope I have explained myself well. Thank you

[@chetubetcha7474]

I'm new to FCP. My question is when I complete my video should I save my Final Cut files both to ProRes if I want to re-edit the file for another platform potentially later if needed and also to H.264 video for sharing right away?

[@dscmatr]

As always another excellent video. Appreciate the refresher!

[@louisbrody4988]

From the start you click so fast, it is impossible to follow I went back at least 10 times to see where you click, and I can not follow. This is worthless. Thanks (I'll be moving on)

[@TheBigFishPlayz]

Clear and concise - I feel ready to tackle FCP for the first time!

[@swikil]

Very helpful Dylan, Thank you and happy new year.

[@elgerrald]

That should be a plug-in inside FCPX and every software. !! Thaks

[@TheMetalMag]

AS an old fcp 3 to 5 user the x got me confused n lost so thank you for your video

[@CleverTricksGames]

Okay absolutely loved this as a longtime user of FCP. A refresher on these shortcuts is always great. But one thing I was hoping I'd see. At 10:50 you applied the transitions to the title "subscribe." When I do this I can no longer move the title and I see that you didn't do that here. The only way to adjust it for me is by cutting it and pasting it if it's not in proper place which is annoying. Am I missing something? Cause every time I go to move a title or clip that sits above the timeline with transitions applied I get a circle with a line through it telling me I can't move it. Thank you for your great work as always!

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Great point! Wish I had covered that. So to move the title, you’ll need to grab the gray bar that’s above the title. This is because when you apply a transition to a connected clip, it creates a “secondary storyline”. With a secondary storyline you can drag in multiple clips, and it acts just like the magnetic timeline, in that clips will always remain together. For that reason, you need to actually grab the secondary storyline, rather than individual clips for it to be moved. Hopefully that solves your problem!

[@CleverTricksGames]

@@TheFinalCutBro Okay that definitely solves it. And these little nuanced tidbits you know about this program are so helpful. Big thanks!

[@GoldenK9Campers]

@@TheFinalCutBro Thanks so much.. I was wondering about this as well!!

[@BlackTieProductions]

Thanks for the FCP tips and tricks...you are clear and concise...giving the shortcuts needed...and showing exactly what they do...I am moving over to FCP and DaVinci from 20+ years with Premiere....so far so good...Thanks!

[@DrMuppy]

Dylan - Thank you for your clear, simple introductory piece on FCP. I have been muddling my way through for some time now, and this takes me back to the primary mile posts of the editing process. Reminding is good, especially for older users like me.

[@grand_army_arts]

Such great tutorials! thank you!!

[@BlackwoodMountainMan]

As I’m new to FCP is really seems like a foreign language and hence requires a lot of learning. Other video editing programs I have used have been more like DAW,s in the way they work. There are many “ how to” videos out there and I thank everyone for them. By looking at them all, you pick up different tips and methods to accomplish the same task. This video had a slightly more practical slant on “how to” and a lot of things that were a mystery are now solved. Things that were glossed over elsewhere were explained and the learning process is becoming easier as these explanations have made other processes , such as multi cam a more logical process(if that’s the right term). Even his advertisement was informative. Everything is easy when you know how. So thank you Dylan.

[@tiagomatosweb]

Thank you for the video. Did you make the zoom/pan using keyframe ease in-out only?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

No, I used a plugin I made called Pro Zooms! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIKcqWZ5jdFmb5Y

[@DMGrayVids]

This may be the best FCP guide ever! I have watched many, and learned bits and pieces, but Dylan, you my friend teach from a place absent of showboating - thank you for with great detail explaining and demoing every item you discuss without arrogance, but rather on a spectrum and place where one can come and learn and ACTUAL APPLY what being demonstrated. I saw you on Dylan John's page. I know you could have, but did not - push by my class to learn all your tips and tricks, THANKS, that means a lot for me, I am a novice, and I will most likely never do editing for profit. Thanks Your New Subscriber

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Appreciate the time you took to write this comment! Looking forward to seeing you in future videos 👊

[@MacNerfer]

Very helpful video, I'm finally moving from Final Cut Express on my old iMac to Final Cut Pro on the laptop, and the changes are dramatic. However, for the beginner, a few things were skipped, like using the arrow keys to move back and forth a clip at a time. Meanwhile you jumped into customizing keyboard commands, which is probably not needed until you're pretty comfortable with all the features you're going to need (so you don't borrow a key from something else that becomes important). Edit - just applied the H.264 codec instead of default Apple high-quality - what a space saver! Now my files can go on my cheap USB sticks I want to hand out to family members :)

[@HabeebKolawole]

[@jsewing03]

I've been using FCP since 2018. For the most part have learned and struggled along the way with personal / Amateur / Hobby type videos. I've recently put the FCP Hobby on a higher priority, and you have caught my eye with your videos; but I have to say this "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Final Cut Pro for 2023", is by far the best FCP video I've seen. Likely to watch it a few more time making notes on the letter shortcuts like Q, E, etc. I like that you keep the information coming fast and furious. You explain why your screen is different when you need to; and you probably edit out goofs. Just a clean and helpful flow of presentation. This video was very comprehensive, I've been doing a few things the hard way because I didn't know better. Any hoot, Thanks, will hit like, have already been subscribed for months. Think I'll look into your memberships. THANKS

[@DashofTing]

This video was so great and straight forward. I need to watch it one more time and jot down all of the shortcuts.

Amazing tutorial. I was wondering Where you place your files?Are you working off your primary internal drive or do you have assets on external drives?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

A mixture of both! I love working off the internal drive if I have enough space. Then move it to cheap spinning hard drives for long storage. If I don’t have space, I work off a Samsung t7 drive, as it’s plenty fast for 95% of what I do.

Great vid, couple of questions: how to turn off magnetic timeline? how to make playhead always follow timeline? how much ram are you using on your system? I'm leaving Avid, finally, LOVE FCP, just having to translate different aps lango, same functions, different names. The audio selection that adds keyframes automatically is brilliant, I do a lot of music videos and is the reason I need a Non-magnetic timeline. Great presentation!

[@ElCapitanGames]

I just always know the BPM and make clips that length. If I want synced cuts. if you are syncing a part of the song audio to visuals and just want them to stay with that part of the audio. Couldn’t you cut the audio and make a connection to that? I’ve not needed to do that yet
