Oh yes, but only the SD XL, never thought of the this option. A bit of distraction when using the SD because you really need to press those buttons, I guess much smoother operation with the mobile app. I do have an old iPad mini that's just acting as a desk clock most of the time, will be testing this out. Thanks for the walkthrough, great that that you showed everything in detail. Btw 😏😂 you were a bit off to the right although the whole setup was nearly made for you being in the middle. I can't believe I'm nagging about that, sorry for 1000 times...
It’s fun to nitpick sometimes. ☺️ I don’t mind. I’ll double check my framing next time. My studio is a little off center as well so I have to use some trickery to get it right. But yes, that’s my concern about having to push physical buttons on the SD or SD XL. The iPad is just so fast and responsive to touch.
As a somewhat new user of FCP I have a thin silicone keyboard cover from Editors Keys that has all the main keyboard shortcuts on it and some color coding. It's really helped me pick up the keyboard shortcuts a lot faster. I have a handy printout I made with some extras from your "magic tricks" videos right next to me when I'm editing too!! 😎👍
I’ve been using my iPad Pro as a second (or third monitor) BECAUSE it’s touch screen. Things you can do and draw you can’t do on a traditional monitor. Sidecar. Also a restaurant in Omaha. Saw it on the way to Blazin’ Pianos when I traveled to Omaha to perform. Be well. Your channel is great. Good luck growing. Just keep adding water, brother.
A few weeks ago I assigned the trim tools to the 1, 2, and 3 number keys. I don’t use the Multicam feature so wasn’t using those keys and they’re very easy to find without looking. No modifier key necessary. Trim Start: 1; Blade: 2; Trim End: 3. Has tripled my editing speed. Thank you for these great tips and shortcuts, this is a fantastic channel.
Little bit older video, but I had to comment. As my english isn't that fluent (yet! :P) I have to edit a lot of my speech sections to remove the silent parts and "oo"s. After I switched to FCPX one of the first thing I did was to reassign keyboard shortcuts to left and right bracket and blade tool. Now i have them side by side on Q-W-E-buttons. W is "blade" and "brackets" are on either side of that. Cutting and trimming is SO MUCH FASTER. (
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I recently injured my left wrist, which obviously makes using shortcuts on that side of the keyboard difficult and this video has been a lifesaver. Hadn't heard of StreamDeck prior to watching this and have since invested in a 2nd hand iPad Air solely for use when editing. The fact the app recognises which app I'm using on the main screen means I've been able to build up different shortcuts for general use (copy, paste, screen capture), FCPX and Motion.
That’s incredible, Nicholas! What a great story. So glad my video and the Stream Deck Mobile app have kept you up and running with all your work and creativity. And good on you for snagging an older iPad Air. I hope the app continues to be supported in older iOS versions so these older devices can find continued use instead of hitting the trash heap. My 6 yr old iPad Mini 2 has new life because of the app. Love it!
Mapping the Option bracket commands to G and H are huge timesavers too. Also, having the silence audio option mapped to a streamdeck button has been a huge help for my workflow.
@Midland Pictures This is great! I DID go "wow!" at 8:57 🤣 I am all about any kind of shortcuts or extra time I can save during editing to streamline things. Not sure if I'll use this on my iPad or remap some keyboard shortcuts but definitely makes me want to get more organized! thanks!!
Anything to get faster and more efficient, especially when we find ourselves repeating the same steps over and over. If you have a full-size keyboard, you have a ton of options for creating custom shortcuts. Glad you've been inspired to take a closer look at streamlining!
That's a cool app. I might have to check it out. I customized my keyboard to use the first 5 number keys to do similar tasks. 1 is trim right, 2 is blade, 3 is trim left and 4 is zoom in on timeline and 5 is zoom out. That way I can just keep my fingers resting on the 123 keys and use my right hand to skim around the timeline and you can blade and eliminate stuff crazy fast. Of course this ruins the multi-cam buttons for switching, but you can always switch the keyboard layouts back to the original for that.
Dang, dude! That sounds like it works great for you, and losing that Multicam functionality may not be a big deal. I think that's a solid workflow and if I wasn't all-in with Stream Deck I'd strongly consider that method. 🤘🏻🙌🏻
I'm using a totaly diferent method: IN - OUT (I-O keys). When you want to keep the begining of the clip you use I key and backspace, when you want the end, O key and backspace.
Thanks for this. Like the tips videos too. Subscribed. Setup my iPhone5S and works well. My setup is MacPro with 4 monitors; 6K and 3x HD (LED cinema 27", HP LP2475W so able to switch to other computers/inputs and a 5" Feelworld view HDMI camera monitor - for CPU usage activity monitor / shut down frozen apps i.e FCPX). I like to keep the activity monitor open to gauge the work load for certain FCPX tasks and know it is not frozen on long 'non-responsive' tasks.
I'm at the complete other end of the spectrum where I don't edit often enough to remember the key shortcuts. So using Stream Deck Mobile to have them on a button, where I don't have to go look them up every time, would be a HUGE advantage. Thanks for the setup tutorial!!!
Excited to hear how it impacts your workflow, Eric. I think it's a GREAT option for editors who haven't learned all the crazy keyboard shortcuts available in FCP.
Keep up the great vids. Very clear and helping a ton (just switched from Premiere - FCPX) and inspiring me to get off my butt and get more of my own vids done. Thanks!
Welcome to FCP! Congrats on the switch. I'll be VERY curious how you feel about track-based NLEs like Premiere after you've had about 6 months of using FCP and the Magnetic Timeline. Like I've said numerous times, it's incredibly frustrating at first because it's such a HUGE paradigm shift in video editing software. Don't hesitate to reach out if you hit a wall and want to chuck the computer out the window. 🤬 And definitely get more of your vids done! It's hard for me to do it (spent all Saturday morning working on my last one to get it done), but nothing beats the thrill of seeing a new vid reach an audience. Thanks for watching, Mark!
Great advice, I am one of those that are used to the Range tool. but could definitely use the el gato for a couple other shortcuts...will be looking in to it for sure! Thanks for sharing.
I think I have thank you in the past for your great tips using FCPX. I’m here in the east coast and everyone uses Premiere. I want to be a bad ass using FCPX. I have a stream deck and been trying to sit down to learn OBS my Stream deck with my ATEM 810 mini pro iso video switcher. Having put these short cuts out for the stream dock is going motivate me to use my Stream deck. Thank..
Nice, Edward! Keep spreading the word about FCP! Would love to get an ATEM Mini Pro so I can get going with live-streaming. All in due time! And get on that Streamdeck. It's awesome!
you can set up a shortcut in FCPX so that you only hit [ or] no need for option key...also can set up for things like the blade tool B no modifier, and I'm sure quite a few others.
Absolutely! I’m trying to make it so I don’t have to pull my hand away from the trackpad while I work, so I’d most likely map the Option + [ ] shortcuts to G and H. Gonna have to try that!
Bro. Every time I’m editing now I’m heading back here to remember something. Now I’m watching the WHOLE thing again AND WHILE IM TYPING to see what app it was and if you can stack commands together. Like cut and move/delete or skip ahead a des..... all your ads just played out while typing too lol. Skip ahead in the timeline like :20 a press.... Watching now. And the ads. 😆. Your channel is great.
So glad it's proving helpful for you! And thanks for the kind words about the channel! So excited to grow it even more in 2021 and produce more content!
I noticed you don’t have a number pad on your keyboard. If you did, multicam is so easy to switch angles by just typing 1 , 2, 3. It’s my go to way to switch to cameras
Agreed! But I don't edit the camera angles first when it comes to my vlogs - I edit the content down to what I absolutely want to say and get all those edits nice and precise and from there I can use my shortcut on Stream Deck Mobile to play back my edit and switch angles as I listen back to everything. If I produced a 3+ camera multi-cam event, I would absolutely use the 1,2, 3 method, and I would plug in my full-size keyboard to do that. But I don't edit any content like that, so it's just never been needed. Thanks for the recommendation! And thanks for watching!
I use a game pad for this. Mine is the Belkin N52TE (Razer rebrand). It has 15 keys, I use one of those as a modifier so I can have almost 30 different shortcuts, among those the CMD+[ ] which as you said, are CRUCIAL time savers.
Amazing!! Can‘t wait to try it! I think i‘ll also put „move focus to timeline“ on the Stream Deck. I always find it quite annoying when i have to mouse-click the timeline or use the shortcut cmd + 2 so my shortcuts affect the timline rather than the viewer or clip browser.
@@matthewTobrien i actually just had the chance to borrow the Stream Deck XL and i was able to use it with Command Post to program e.g. effects being applied with the press of a button. Such an amazing tool, i just ordered a Stream Deck XL for myself.
Try Resolve with the new free mobile Speed Edit bundle. I used FinalCut since before it was released, when it was a Macromedia beta product pre-Apple’s acquisition. I did 6 movies and many hundreds of productions with it for decades. I dabbled in Resolve some years back, but by 16 with the synergy with the dedicated keyboard, I was able to edit much, much faster, and create better productions. Now they offer a free version of the mobile Speed editor with a copy of their $295 studio version. Give that, the fact that Fairlight comes bundled, 17 is in beta and that its precursor of Eyeon version of Resolve plus Fairlight cost about $1.25 million+ before BlackMagic purchased it and massively upgraded it; I loved FinalCut but could never waste time and production quality with it anymore.
Appreciate the thoughtful recommendation, Andrew. Sounds like you're a true Power User! I stick with FCPX mainly because I'm "just" an editor - I don't do color work or audio post-production. For all of my paid client work, I hire a colorist and sound mixer to do the finishing work on my edits. I don't disagree that for some users, DaVinci is a much better NLE for their video editing, but for me I prefer the simplicity of FCPX because there are limitations on my "video engineering" or "mechanical" knowledge, and FCPX allows me to get into and stay in the creative flow. I am an absolute nut for media organization and the power of FCPX's Event Browser (and tools like Favorites, Keywords & Smart Collections) also keeps me on the platform, especially because I edit a lot of documentaries (shorts, mostly). I also feel a lot of friction when editing with track-based NLEs - the Magnetic Timeline connects with me on a deep, spiritual level as a creator (I'm being INCREDIBLY hyperbolic here 🤣), and I couldn't bear to part with it. Thanks for watching and commenting - FCPX is the right tool for me, and it sounds like BlackMagic / Resolve is the right fit for you. Happy editing!
`thank you for your excellent review . I think it would be a good idea for you to give advice to the FinalCut team I find it time consuming.because I have not got the time to make a basic video with this....their is to much going round the bend to reach what you need ..... but you could tweak it .for them .......
Have you tried doing I then O then delete when shortening your blog? One hand along with jkl moves things along quite quickly. But I just got a stream deck and I'm looking forward to finding ways to speeding up my workflow.
I have! And I've used the Range Tool as well. All are great! For some reason Option + ] and [ are best for me, especially with the Stream Deck situation.
@@matthewTobrien Cool. I've also started using DESCRIPT, for editing content and then exporting to FCP - REALLY fast. I'm loving your videos by the way.
If I was still editing interview-based content for clients, I'd be all over Descript. I don't know how much it would help me with what I'm doing for my UA-cam videos. But I'd love to use it and make some vids about it since it works so well with FCP.
Matthew! I Really learn a lot from your awesome editing videos! Thanks so much! This looks like a next leave editing setup! So What do you think of LoupeDeck?
I'm curious about Loupedeck. Not quite enough to spend the $$$ on one, but I'm curious and hoping they create some more products that might be better aligned with non-Adobe applications like Lightroom and Premiere Pro.
I made a video about the Magic Trackpad vs. the Magic Mouse where I talk about having tried the MX Master mouse. Can't do it - the clicking sound is too loud. I wish I could because I know I could speed things up but the clicking just makes me crazy. Plus Three-Finger-Drag on the Magic Trackpad is a game changer. Click and drag with a mouse is a pain in comparison!
I just mapped the [ and ] to work without pressing option. Then just have my left hand over them, and left hand on the trackpad. So fast. Definitely gonna look at stream deck for other things tho.
Question: I’m planning my very first client job and I have an EpidemicSound subscription. What is the rule or guideline or how does it work with using music for client work? Forgive my ignorance...
Each platform can be different depending on where the commercial/video will be playing. Typically they let their license cover social media, UA-cam, personal use, etc. If you use the music in film, tv, or a commercial for broadcast TV, their standard license usually doesn’t apply and you’d most likely have to pay more to acquire a special license.
You don’t. But I wanted to make my own custom icons to help me better understand what the buttons were for and to better match my branding. Plus it was fun to design and then make them. 🤓
How good is the magic trackpad at detecting the difference between your fingers and your wrist? I'm just wondering if it would be possible to place it in front of the keyboard (kinda like on a laptop). I miss being able to use the trackpad on a laptop and quality go back to home row when I'm writing
You know, my gut instinct is that it won’t be a problem. I use my laptop a lot, even with video editing combined with typing, so when I go from trackpad to home row I’m pretty sure I’ve never had it detect my palm and screw things up. And I’ve never tried placing it in front of my keyboard with my desktop configuration, but I have a feeling you’ll be okay…
I know you can, but I haven't gotten to the point where I'm ready to go "next level" with it - still working through what I've made to see how I can tweak it to work even better in my work flow. Definitely open to using folders, though.
Yup, definitely the popular option. I think because I’m using the app for a few other shortcuts it’s easier, for now, to do it this way. But I definitely need to reevaluate my approach (or lack there of) to customizing shortcuts.
@@matthewTobrien I made it sound like im all smart and had been doing it along time lol I literally figured it out last night an hour before watching your video haha. As soon as I get an iPhone ill be trying out this app. Pretty cool still! Thanks for your videos they are super helpful.
I own the 15 key Elgato stream deck. I have to finish studying a few of the Elgato stream deck on using it with FCPX. Sorry the mobile app isn’t for me or has my interest.
And back again. Working with 256mb card in the brain. BUT since I’m here. Again. Comment 100-score one for my OCD. Those rubber finger things we made fun of are great for thumbs who keep TOUCHING THE TRACK PAD 🤬
Hi Matthew, nice idea. While I was seeing the video it came to my mind that you could use BetterTouchTool to convert whatever combination of keys and/or mousepad moves/clicks to a keyboard shortcut. I use it a lot for other stuff but now I’ll configure it to use it in FCPX. Did you try or think about this option?
Great input, Diego! I have BetterTouchTool downloaded and ready to go, but I've been slammed with client work and my channel vids so I haven't had a chance to dive deep into it. I want to go through that app AND Command Post to see what efficiencies I can add to my workflow. Soon! Thanks for watching!
I've been considering buying a Loupdeck for this kind of thing, but this is a much cheaper alternative. I wonder how they compare given the massive difference in price?
The Loupedeck is definitely more advanced than the Stream Deck, and the two Loupedeck models that have touch screens AND knobs/dials are definitely pricey. I like the look and design of them more than the Stream Deck hardware, but for me Stream Deck Mobile on an iPad is the best, cleanest look. I think a Loupedeck is good if you need A LOT of programmable buttons or keys that match a lot of what a keyboard does. I also think the larger $549 Loupedeck is almost meant to, for some power users, replace a keyboard rather than complement it. I think if you’re doing a lot of color work in FCPX it’s possible the knobs and dials really help with that... 🤷🏻♂️ For me, as of now, the Stream Deck Mobile app on my old iPad Mini 2 (that was literally gathering dust unless I used it as a teleprompter) was truly the best value and a great way to see if I even like these kinds of devices in my workflow. So far, I *love* using the app while I edit.
its 2.99 monthly if you pay for the app! for a average of 4 years you have literally spent the 150.00 you pay for a full size stream deck MK.2 with 15 customizable keys
I get that - for me, I just don't love the physical Stream Deck device. With the iPad version I feel like I have more control, and I feel like I can set it up on my desk more to my liking. When you factor in the cost of the iPad mini (even an older one) it especially adds up to more than a Stream Deck. I guess I'm just weird in valuing what I get with my setup vs. saving some money. It's worth it to me.
@@matthewTobrien I do love the idea of using the iPad thats how I found myself watching this video and was kinda bummed when I knew I had to pay for yet another subscription as if I don’t have enough of those already lol 😂
My hope is that the predictable revenue for all of these companies offering subscriptions leads to better products and more innovation. I’m admittedly very optimistic by nature. Possibly to a fault. 🤷🏻♂️
Hey Mathew , I just downloaded the Mobil app for my iPhone and desktop and when adding trim to start and then trim to end the icons work but after a few minutes one or the other does work and comes up with a Green explanation mark on trim to end...? I have put in Hot Key Alt [ and Alt ] those keystrokes and only one or the other works...? Any ideas what might eb going on? Thank you
Congrats on starting your Stream Deck + FCP journey! Sorry it's off to a rocky start. First things I would do: 1. Verify that the Elgato Stream Deck app on your Mac is fully up-to-date 2. Verify that the Stream Deck app on your iOS device is fully up-to-date 3. If they are, try a restart of both devices and try again. 4. Make sure your iOS device has an active connection with the macOS app (sometimes mine connects to the wrong computer) 5. If it's still not working make sure that Final Cut Pro is the active application when executing the Stream Deck macro (easy to overlook, but I have done this plenty of time without realizing macOS has some other application window as the active window) The only time I see this issue on my setup is on occasion when I use my Quicktime shortcut that allows me to right into a screen recording. It happens rarely, but it does happen. I can't recall what the cause was because it's been quite a while since it's done that.
@@matthewTobrien Thanks for such a quick response, I just installed both the app and the desktop so I am pretty sure they are Both the latest versions.. But I will restart both of them... It is weird bc it worked for a few minutes. It is only one Trim to start or Trim to end that is giving me the problem... Weird... I am trying ti out to see if I should buy it.. Do you by any chance know if I buy it, can I use it on my Iphone and or iPad or are they separate purchases? Thanks!
I use my Stream Deck Mobile subscription on my iPad in my main edit bay, I use it on my old iPhone for my mobile setup, and I use it on my newer iPad mini in my livestream studio. But yes, a little strange that it's working for a few minutes and then failing. And you're right - if you literally just installed it today you're definitely up-to-date. Haha - sorry, wasn't sure if you've had it installed for a while but finally set it up later.
@@matthewTobrien I got the error fixed, it was that I had another shortcut keystroke using the same command apparently. But I also just downloaded Touch Portal that many recommended in video about Stream deck and I have to say it is quite amazing, installed it yesterday and with 30-40 minutes had it up and running so I bought it right away bc it is a one time fee of 12.99 instead of the yearly subscription fee from stream deck and even the free version gives you more icon options... I love it it!! You might want to check it out also..
Nice demo. I’m disappointed it’s a subscription though. I’d have bought it out right but $2.99/£2.99 is at least justifiable, I’d consider it for having separate audio and video switching for multicam. For most keyboard shortcuts though I just use my left hand so don’t seek to have the same problem, I only use my right hand on the number pad mostly 🤷🏼♂️
Yup, me too! A few of those shortcuts on the right side work for me on SD Mobile. I think the ultimate goal for a lot of editors is to not really use a mouse or trackpad much at all and just operate from the keyboard entirely. I find in the stage where I’m editing down vlogs and interviews that I’m constantly using the trackpad to navigate. Thanks for tuning in, Ben!
You can use it on your iPhone! Just make sure to go to Elgato’s website to download the app for your Mac and then it will connect to your phone wirelessly to pair with the app on your phone.
Hey! Great stuff! Wanna do me a huge favor? Give us access to those two button icons you built for switching angles in a multicam at 12:27? Thanks in advance! LOL
Are you supposed to install Stream Deck on your iMAc as well? It is asking for a QR code but I do not see Stream Deck in the APP store for the iMac. Super confusing.
I have looked at this and I always go with my gut. I had to search for the price of this product, it does not show up on their website (at least I could not find it). My rule of thumb, if I have to search and search for prices don't buy the product, what are they trying to hide.
I didn’t notice how difficult it was to find pricing on the website. That’s frustrating for sure. I went directly to the App Store when I first looked at Stream Deck Mobile, and it was very clear what the subscription would cost. Definitely reconsider if you think this might be a useful tool - $2.99/month or $24.99/yr. Worth it to me, but I understand if it isn’t for others.
Absolutely! The only real customizing you can do is to enable three-finger drag. Otherwise you'd have to look at third party software like Better Touch Tool to do things beyond what macOS allows. But all of the gestures supported in Final Cut Pro work on the Magic Trackpad 2 as well as the trackpad on MacBooks.
You can buy my custom icons here: www.matthewobrien.co/shop/stream-deck-mobile-icons-pack They're $10. And you can access Elgato's library of icons through the Stream Deck app on your Mac.
I haven’t gone out for music in a looooong time. I do a lot of editing work for live concerts so whenever I go to live shows I always kinda feel like I’m at work. 🤣 But I do hear all the time, “You look really familiar.” 🤣
If you’re looking to add a system action to launch FCPX (like I have with the FCPX button in the upper left of my Stream Deck Mobile app), follow the instructions here: help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028234471-Elgato-Stream-Deck-System-Actions Scroll down to the section that says “System Action - Open” I extracted the FCPX icon from the Application file so I could have the icon as my button in my Stream Deck.

@@matthewTobrien thank you for the answer! I’m looking for a solution how to add a shortcuts to stream deck so they work in fcpx. Basically how you have it. Unfortunately you seem to be the only person online who uses it like that
I do show how to program the Stream Deck Mobile app to perform some keyboard shortcuts for FCPX with the press of a button. Was there something not clear in my video about how to do that? I know it’s not a step by step tutorial, but I do cover how the app works. 🤔
@@matthewTobrien I watched it twice, I'm gonna watch it for the third time.. but I havent seen how to set it up on the actual Mac.. Stream Deck App shows some basics apps like OBS etc but there is no mention about Fcpx.. I keep looking online but there is nobody who shows how it can work with fcpx...
No can do. That's one of my favorite songs on my brother's album. Fortunately I'm not really including a branded intro in my videos moving forward. But there is a bit of it at the end of every video.
This is where Apple is a bit lame. They dont make a control surface or a dedicated FCP Keyboard ......... so offering a plug-in pack for Stream Deck would not compete with anything they offer. Just saying. Just take some of the hundreds of millions they are saving not shooting Apple TV+ now because of the strike, and throw some launch money at this. :-)

I'm using a totaly diferent method: IN - OUT (I-O keys). When you want to keep the begining of the clip you use I key and backspace, when you want the end, O key and backspace.
That’s interesting. I’ll have to try that out. Hadn’t thought to approach it that way. 👌🏻
@@matthewTobrien yes, and if you're using it with JKL keys, it's a really fast way.
Love learning from you all as well! 🤘🏻
Thanks for this. Like the tips videos too. Subscribed. Setup my iPhone5S and works well. My setup is MacPro with 4 monitors; 6K and 3x HD (LED cinema 27", HP LP2475W so able to switch to other computers/inputs and a 5" Feelworld view HDMI camera monitor - for CPU usage activity monitor / shut down frozen apps i.e FCPX). I like to keep the activity monitor open to gauge the work load for certain FCPX tasks and know it is not frozen on long 'non-responsive' tasks.
Sounds like an awesome setup! Hope Stream Deck Mobile is helping your workflow!
Really enjoy the tutorial style. Clear and moving at a good clip. I hope your channel gets more recommendations.
Thanks, Simon! And thanks for watching. 🤘🏻🙌🏻
I'm at the complete other end of the spectrum where I don't edit often enough to remember the key shortcuts. So using Stream Deck Mobile to have them on a button, where I don't have to go look them up every time, would be a HUGE advantage. Thanks for the setup tutorial!!!
Excited to hear how it impacts your workflow, Eric. I think it's a GREAT option for editors who haven't learned all the crazy keyboard shortcuts available in FCP.
Thank you so much for that precise Overview > ! Perfect Tool. Will buy right now.
Enjoy it, Martin! Let me know what you think after you've used it for a while.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I had no idea there was an app for this and this is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. Super awesome.
That's so great to hear! I kinda felt the same way which is why I made a video about it! Using it right now as I edit another episode....
Keep up the great vids. Very clear and helping a ton (just switched from Premiere - FCPX) and inspiring me to get off my butt and get more of my own vids done. Thanks!
Welcome to FCP! Congrats on the switch. I'll be VERY curious how you feel about track-based NLEs like Premiere after you've had about 6 months of using FCP and the Magnetic Timeline. Like I've said numerous times, it's incredibly frustrating at first because it's such a HUGE paradigm shift in video editing software. Don't hesitate to reach out if you hit a wall and want to chuck the computer out the window. 🤬 And definitely get more of your vids done! It's hard for me to do it (spent all Saturday morning working on my last one to get it done), but nothing beats the thrill of seeing a new vid reach an audience. Thanks for watching, Mark!
This video was EXTREMELY useful. Subscribed, man!
Appreciate it! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!
Great advice, I am one of those that are used to the Range tool. but could definitely use the el gato for a couple other shortcuts...will be looking in to it for sure! Thanks for sharing.
Let me know if you end up trying it out, and let me know what you think if you do!
Thank you man! Love watching your tips and appreciate that u share them with us 🙏🏽
You’re welcome! And thanks so much for watching! 🙌🏻
I think I have thank you in the past for your great tips using FCPX. I’m here in the east coast and everyone uses Premiere.
I want to be a bad ass using FCPX. I have a stream deck and been trying to sit down to learn OBS my Stream deck with my ATEM 810 mini pro iso video switcher. Having put these short cuts out for the stream dock is going motivate me to use my Stream deck. Thank..
Nice, Edward! Keep spreading the word about FCP! Would love to get an ATEM Mini Pro so I can get going with live-streaming. All in due time! And get on that Streamdeck. It's awesome!
you can set up a shortcut in FCPX so that you only hit [ or] no need for option key...also can set up for things like the blade tool B no modifier, and I'm sure quite a few others.
Absolutely! I’m trying to make it so I don’t have to pull my hand away from the trackpad while I work, so I’d most likely map the Option + [ ] shortcuts to G and H. Gonna have to try that!
Great vid, thx for sharing this one. Will be using this in my FCPX workflow for sure.
Awesome! So glad to hear that. I’ve really flown to love using it and feel like I can really fly through my vlog edits. 🙌🏻🤘🏻
Bro. Every time I’m editing now I’m heading back here to remember something.
Now I’m watching the WHOLE thing again AND WHILE IM TYPING to see what app it was and if you can stack commands together. Like cut and move/delete or skip ahead a des..... all your ads just played out while typing too lol. Skip ahead in the timeline like :20 a press....
Watching now. And the ads. 😆. Your channel is great.
So glad it's proving helpful for you! And thanks for the kind words about the channel! So excited to grow it even more in 2021 and produce more content!
I noticed you don’t have a number pad on your keyboard. If you did, multicam is so easy to switch angles by just typing 1 , 2, 3. It’s my go to way to switch to cameras
Agreed! But I don't edit the camera angles first when it comes to my vlogs - I edit the content down to what I absolutely want to say and get all those edits nice and precise and from there I can use my shortcut on Stream Deck Mobile to play back my edit and switch angles as I listen back to everything. If I produced a 3+ camera multi-cam event, I would absolutely use the 1,2, 3 method, and I would plug in my full-size keyboard to do that. But I don't edit any content like that, so it's just never been needed. Thanks for the recommendation! And thanks for watching!
I use a game pad for this. Mine is the Belkin N52TE (Razer rebrand). It has 15 keys, I use one of those as a modifier so I can have almost 30 different shortcuts, among those the CMD+[ ] which as you said, are CRUCIAL time savers.
Awesome! I will have to check that out - thanks for the tip! And glad to meet another Power User!
Amazing!! Can‘t wait to try it! I think i‘ll also put „move focus to timeline“ on the Stream Deck. I always find it quite annoying when i have to mouse-click the timeline or use the shortcut cmd + 2 so my shortcuts affect the timline rather than the viewer or clip browser.
Great idea! That’ll smooth things out for you. Let me know what you think of it after you’ve used it for a bit!
@@matthewTobrien i actually just had the chance to borrow the Stream Deck XL and i was able to use it with Command Post to program e.g. effects being applied with the press of a button. Such an amazing tool, i just ordered a Stream Deck XL for myself.
Wow. That’s awesome! Congrats! Now I need to get on Command Post for sure.
Try Resolve with the new free mobile Speed Edit bundle. I used FinalCut since before it was released, when it was a Macromedia beta product pre-Apple’s acquisition. I did 6 movies and many hundreds of productions with it for decades. I dabbled in Resolve some years back, but by 16 with the synergy with the dedicated keyboard, I was able to edit much, much faster, and create better productions.
Now they offer a free version of the mobile Speed editor with a copy of their $295 studio version. Give that, the fact that Fairlight comes bundled, 17 is in beta and that its precursor of Eyeon version of Resolve plus Fairlight cost about $1.25 million+ before BlackMagic purchased it and massively upgraded it; I loved FinalCut but could never waste time and production quality with it anymore.
Appreciate the thoughtful recommendation, Andrew. Sounds like you're a true Power User! I stick with FCPX mainly because I'm "just" an editor - I don't do color work or audio post-production. For all of my paid client work, I hire a colorist and sound mixer to do the finishing work on my edits. I don't disagree that for some users, DaVinci is a much better NLE for their video editing, but for me I prefer the simplicity of FCPX because there are limitations on my "video engineering" or "mechanical" knowledge, and FCPX allows me to get into and stay in the creative flow. I am an absolute nut for media organization and the power of FCPX's Event Browser (and tools like Favorites, Keywords & Smart Collections) also keeps me on the platform, especially because I edit a lot of documentaries (shorts, mostly). I also feel a lot of friction when editing with track-based NLEs - the Magnetic Timeline connects with me on a deep, spiritual level as a creator (I'm being INCREDIBLY hyperbolic here 🤣), and I couldn't bear to part with it. Thanks for watching and commenting - FCPX is the right tool for me, and it sounds like BlackMagic / Resolve is the right fit for you. Happy editing!
Like your new Set-Up (Studio)!
Thanks! It’s been nice to be in the edit bay the last few days working on this video!
`thank you for your excellent review . I think it would be a good idea for you to give advice to the FinalCut team I find it time consuming.because I have not got the time to make a basic video with this....their is to much going round the bend to reach what you need
..... but you could tweak it .for them .......
I'll definitely think about that! Thanks for watching, Alan!
You need a “command B” button. I’d like a “command T” button, but only with lemon sugar and tons of ice.
🤣🤣🤣
Have you tried doing I then O then delete when shortening your blog? One hand along with jkl moves things along quite quickly. But I just got a stream deck and I'm looking forward to finding ways to speeding up my workflow.
I have! And I've used the Range Tool as well. All are great! For some reason Option + ] and [ are best for me, especially with the Stream Deck situation.
@@matthewTobrien Cool. I've also started using DESCRIPT, for editing content and then exporting to FCP - REALLY fast. I'm loving your videos by the way.
If I was still editing interview-based content for clients, I'd be all over Descript. I don't know how much it would help me with what I'm doing for my UA-cam videos. But I'd love to use it and make some vids about it since it works so well with FCP.
Matthew! I Really learn a lot from your awesome editing videos! Thanks so much! This looks like a next leave editing setup! So What do you think of LoupeDeck?
I'm curious about Loupedeck. Not quite enough to spend the $$$ on one, but I'm curious and hoping they create some more products that might be better aligned with non-Adobe applications like Lightroom and Premiere Pro.
Try using the MX master mouse instead. your hand never needs to leave your mouse and you can program a lot of shortcuts right on the mouse.
I made a video about the Magic Trackpad vs. the Magic Mouse where I talk about having tried the MX Master mouse. Can't do it - the clicking sound is too loud. I wish I could because I know I could speed things up but the clicking just makes me crazy. Plus Three-Finger-Drag on the Magic Trackpad is a game changer. Click and drag with a mouse is a pain in comparison!
@@matthewTobrien used to be a trackpad editor too, but the mxmaster insanely sped up my edits. Can’t go back

tutorial on how to get those icons ab how to actually program first time
I hear ya! Good idea for a follow up. 👌🏻
Very cool, I do blade, blade, select middle cut clip and hit delete. This seems a lot faster.
It is! Give it a try! And thanks for watching! 🙌🏻
I just mapped the [ and ] to work without pressing option. Then just have my left hand over them, and left hand on the trackpad. So fast.
Definitely gonna look at stream deck for other things tho.
That’s definitely a great way to do it. And, honestly, probably simpler. I’m loving all these suggestions!
That’s for all your great content. Definitely appreciate it.
Would you consider doing a video on Big Sur and if/how it effects your job and editing?
Absolutely! I’ll add it to my list and thinks about the affect it’ll have in my work. Thanks for the suggestion!
Question: I’m planning my very first client job and I have an EpidemicSound subscription. What is the rule or guideline or how does it work with using music for client work?
Forgive my ignorance...
Each platform can be different depending on where the commercial/video will be playing. Typically they let their license cover social media, UA-cam, personal use, etc. If you use the music in film, tv, or a commercial for broadcast TV, their standard license usually doesn’t apply and you’d most likely have to pay more to acquire a special license.
@@matthewTobrien Thank you! My subscription license should cover their social media ads on UA-cam, IG and Facebook essentially?
I would think so, but I don’t use Epidemic so I’m not 100% certain. Reach out to them through their site or social media to learn more.
I don’t understand why you need the infinity design layout for the stream deck app. Thanks
You don’t. But I wanted to make my own custom icons to help me better understand what the buttons were for and to better match my branding. Plus it was fun to design and then make them. 🤓
How good is the magic trackpad at detecting the difference between your fingers and your wrist? I'm just wondering if it would be possible to place it in front of the keyboard (kinda like on a laptop). I miss being able to use the trackpad on a laptop and quality go back to home row when I'm writing
You know, my gut instinct is that it won’t be a problem. I use my laptop a lot, even with video editing combined with typing, so when I go from trackpad to home row I’m pretty sure I’ve never had it detect my palm and screw things up. And I’ve never tried placing it in front of my keyboard with my desktop configuration, but I have a feeling you’ll be okay…
have you thought about creating folders? that way you could segment your shortcuts?
I know you can, but I haven't gotten to the point where I'm ready to go "next level" with it - still working through what I've made to see how I can tweak it to work even better in my work flow. Definitely open to using folders, though.
I just custom key my keyboard so brackets to do that one button push same with blade.
Yup, definitely the popular option. I think because I’m using the app for a few other shortcuts it’s easier, for now, to do it this way. But I definitely need to reevaluate my approach (or lack there of) to customizing shortcuts.
@@matthewTobrien I made it sound like im all smart and had been doing it along time lol I literally figured it out last night an hour before watching your video haha.
As soon as I get an iPhone ill be trying out this app. Pretty cool still!
Thanks for your videos they are super helpful.
I own the 15 key Elgato stream deck. I have to finish studying a few of the Elgato stream deck on using it with FCPX. Sorry the mobile app isn’t for me or has my interest.
It's not for everyone, but glad you've got something that'll work for you. Thanks for watching my vid, Edward!
And back again. Working with 256mb card in the brain.
BUT since I’m here. Again. Comment 100-score one for my OCD.
Those rubber finger things we made fun of are great for thumbs who keep TOUCHING THE TRACK PAD 🤬
Haha - too funny. Comment all you'd like!
Hi Matthew, nice idea. While I was seeing the video it came to my mind that you could use BetterTouchTool to convert whatever combination of keys and/or mousepad moves/clicks to a keyboard shortcut. I use it a lot for other stuff but now I’ll configure it to use it in FCPX. Did you try or think about this option?
Great input, Diego! I have BetterTouchTool downloaded and ready to go, but I've been slammed with client work and my channel vids so I haven't had a chance to dive deep into it. I want to go through that app AND Command Post to see what efficiencies I can add to my workflow. Soon! Thanks for watching!
Do you have a video on multicams?
Loved the video on stream deck.
Thanks for watching, Dave! Here’s a link to my one and only (so far) multicam video!
ua-cam.com/video/X7KfycfBbrM/v-deo.html
I've been considering buying a Loupdeck for this kind of thing, but this is a much cheaper alternative. I wonder how they compare given the massive difference in price?
The Loupedeck is definitely more advanced than the Stream Deck, and the two Loupedeck models that have touch screens AND knobs/dials are definitely pricey. I like the look and design of them more than the Stream Deck hardware, but for me Stream Deck Mobile on an iPad is the best, cleanest look.
I think a Loupedeck is good if you need A LOT of programmable buttons or keys that match a lot of what a keyboard does. I also think the larger $549 Loupedeck is almost meant to, for some power users, replace a keyboard rather than complement it. I think if you’re doing a lot of color work in FCPX it’s possible the knobs and dials really help with that... 🤷🏻♂️
For me, as of now, the Stream Deck Mobile app on my old iPad Mini 2 (that was literally gathering dust unless I used it as a teleprompter) was truly the best value and a great way to see if I even like these kinds of devices in my workflow. So far, I *love* using the app while I edit.
its 2.99 monthly if you pay for the app! for a average of 4 years you have literally spent the 150.00 you pay for a full size stream deck MK.2 with 15 customizable keys
I get that - for me, I just don't love the physical Stream Deck device. With the iPad version I feel like I have more control, and I feel like I can set it up on my desk more to my liking. When you factor in the cost of the iPad mini (even an older one) it especially adds up to more than a Stream Deck. I guess I'm just weird in valuing what I get with my setup vs. saving some money. It's worth it to me.
@@matthewTobrien I do love the idea of using the iPad thats how I found myself watching this video and was kinda bummed when I knew I had to pay for yet another subscription as if I don’t have enough of those already lol 😂
My hope is that the predictable revenue for all of these companies offering subscriptions leads to better products and more innovation. I’m admittedly very optimistic by nature. Possibly to a fault. 🤷🏻♂️
Hey Mathew , I just downloaded the Mobil app for my iPhone and desktop and when adding trim to start and then trim to end the icons work but after a few minutes one or the other does work and comes up with a Green explanation mark on trim to end...? I have put in Hot Key Alt [ and Alt ] those keystrokes and only one or the other works...? Any ideas what might eb going on? Thank you
Congrats on starting your Stream Deck + FCP journey! Sorry it's off to a rocky start. First things I would do:
1. Verify that the Elgato Stream Deck app on your Mac is fully up-to-date
2. Verify that the Stream Deck app on your iOS device is fully up-to-date
3. If they are, try a restart of both devices and try again.
4. Make sure your iOS device has an active connection with the macOS app (sometimes mine connects to the wrong computer)
5. If it's still not working make sure that Final Cut Pro is the active application when executing the Stream Deck macro (easy to overlook, but I have done this plenty of time without realizing macOS has some other application window as the active window)
The only time I see this issue on my setup is on occasion when I use my Quicktime shortcut that allows me to right into a screen recording. It happens rarely, but it does happen. I can't recall what the cause was because it's been quite a while since it's done that.
@@matthewTobrien Thanks for such a quick response, I just installed both the app and the desktop so I am pretty sure they are Both the latest versions.. But I will restart both of them... It is weird bc it worked for a few minutes. It is only one Trim to start or Trim to end that is giving me the problem... Weird... I am trying ti out to see if I should buy it.. Do you by any chance know if I buy it, can I use it on my Iphone and or iPad or are they separate purchases? Thanks!
I use my Stream Deck Mobile subscription on my iPad in my main edit bay, I use it on my old iPhone for my mobile setup, and I use it on my newer iPad mini in my livestream studio.
But yes, a little strange that it's working for a few minutes and then failing. And you're right - if you literally just installed it today you're definitely up-to-date. Haha - sorry, wasn't sure if you've had it installed for a while but finally set it up later.
@@matthewTobrien I got the error fixed, it was that I had another shortcut keystroke using the same command apparently. But I also just downloaded Touch Portal that many recommended in video about Stream deck and I have to say it is quite amazing, installed it yesterday and with 30-40 minutes had it up and running so I bought it right away bc it is a one time fee of 12.99 instead of the yearly subscription fee from stream deck and even the free version gives you more icon options... I love it it!! You might want to check it out also..
Nice demo. I’m disappointed it’s a subscription though. I’d have bought it out right but $2.99/£2.99 is at least justifiable, I’d consider it for having separate audio and video switching for multicam. For most keyboard shortcuts though I just use my left hand so don’t seek to have the same problem, I only use my right hand on the number pad mostly 🤷🏼♂️
Yup, me too! A few of those shortcuts on the right side work for me on SD Mobile. I think the ultimate goal for a lot of editors is to not really use a mouse or trackpad much at all and just operate from the keyboard entirely. I find in the stage where I’m editing down vlogs and interviews that I’m constantly using the trackpad to navigate. Thanks for tuning in, Ben!
Can you use it on your iPhone? And, if so, does your iPhone need to be plugged in using a USB port or is it wireless?
You can use it on your iPhone! Just make sure to go to Elgato’s website to download the app for your Mac and then it will connect to your phone wirelessly to pair with the app on your phone.
Hey! Great stuff!
Wanna do me a huge favor? Give us access to those two button icons you built for switching angles in a multicam at 12:27?
Thanks in advance! LOL
I’ll see what I can do to add a link to the icons. Can’t get to it now, but we’ll try later this week!
Are you supposed to install Stream Deck on your iMAc as well? It is asking for a QR code but I do not see Stream Deck in the APP store for the iMac. Super confusing.
Yup, there’s an app to install for your computer. I’ll add a link to the description.
www.elgato.com/en/gaming/downloads
I have looked at this and I always go with my gut. I had to search for the price of this product, it does not show up on their website (at least I could not find it). My rule of thumb, if I have to search and search for prices don't buy the product, what are they trying to hide.
I didn’t notice how difficult it was to find pricing on the website. That’s frustrating for sure. I went directly to the App Store when I first looked at Stream Deck Mobile, and it was very clear what the subscription would cost. Definitely reconsider if you think this might be a useful tool - $2.99/month or $24.99/yr. Worth it to me, but I understand if it isn’t for others.
@@matthewTobrien I went to the website again, no prices that I could find. It's not a problem for me, I would not buy from sites like that.
@@Stubchain it could be because of App Store rules
I’m really new at editing videos. I just have one question: the MacBook Pro already has a touch deck, can I customize that the same way?
Absolutely! The only real customizing you can do is to enable three-finger drag. Otherwise you'd have to look at third party software like Better Touch Tool to do things beyond what macOS allows. But all of the gestures supported in Final Cut Pro work on the Magic Trackpad 2 as well as the trackpad on MacBooks.
Instead of option + (. Why not “i” then “o” and delete.?
Definitely another way to do it. But that method is three keystrokes whereas Blade and [ is two. 🤓
Can i buy custom icons for stream deck
You can buy my custom icons here: www.matthewobrien.co/shop/stream-deck-mobile-icons-pack
They're $10.
And you can access Elgato's library of icons through the Stream Deck app on your Mac.
Good stuff.
Late reply, but thanks!
No worries. I played Omaha and Lincoln 2015-2019 I swear I’ve seen you. Either Brewskys in linc or Blazin pianos in Omaha. And if not, Millard maybe?
I haven’t gone out for music in a looooong time. I do a lot of editing work for live concerts so whenever I go to live shows I always kinda feel like I’m at work. 🤣 But I do hear all the time, “You look really familiar.” 🤣
How can I add final cut?? I can't find it anywhere

I do show how to program the Stream Deck Mobile app to perform some keyboard shortcuts for FCPX with the press of a button. Was there something not clear in my video about how to do that? I know it’s not a step by step tutorial, but I do cover how the app works. 🤔
@@matthewTobrien I watched it twice, I'm gonna watch it for the third time.. but I havent seen how to set it up on the actual Mac..

Not bad for only 2.99 a month
Agreed! I love using it in my workflow. 🙌🏻🤘🏻
I love your videos... but that intro song... please change it.
No can do. That's one of my favorite songs on my brother's album. Fortunately I'm not really including a branded intro in my videos moving forward. But there is a bit of it at the end of every video.
Yooo who disliked this video??????
H8TRzzzzzzz did. 🥺😢
no
This is where Apple is a bit lame. They dont make a control surface or a dedicated FCP Keyboard ......... so offering a plug-in pack for Stream Deck would not compete with anything they offer. Just saying. Just take some of the hundreds of millions they are saving not shooting Apple TV+ now because of the strike, and throw some launch money at this. :-)
Wouldn't that be great?
no way I'd sign up yet another subscription for this. what a disappointment.
Sorry to hear that! I know these services can be frustrating. So far so good with me, fortunately. 🤷🏻♂️
