A+ content. This is the perfect example of why video replies were so amazing back in the day. Both creators are great in their own respective niches, but one creator sees an area in which he can help another and does so with grace and style. Major kudos and you’ve earned yourself a new follower. Thank you.
Nothing but love and appreciation for Matti! He is an absolute legend in the creator space, and I owe a lot of my inspiration to him! Just thought I would pass these tips on to save him some headache... So that he can finally stick with FCP forever. ❤️😉
One thing I would mention to someone really not-friendly with Magnetic timeline is to keep the clips above the main timeline so they are "kind of same" as in other non-magnetic editors. Great tip with that shortcut btw, guess 90% of users arent aware of that.
@@tomaszboril You can use the Position tool + Tilde key to create a gap clip and prevent it from the magnetic timeline. Try it you will have the same timeline
Hey Dylan, George here (from the MotionVFX tutorials) great video man! So many people overlook these simple but amazing tools and shortcuts! Thanks for the shout out too!
Amazing video! Matti couldn't be more wrong on numerous points he makes in his video when comparing PP and FCP. You nailed it at 1:47 when you said FCP is ESSENTIAL especially when working with complex projects. Matti himself said "FCP is totally fine for anybody if you're not doing anything too complex. If you're doing complex edits, then Premiere IF IT ACTUALLY WORKED." There is so much wrong and right about his comment! You summed it up nicely when you said if you know how to use the magnetic timeline, FCP is absolutely necessary for complex edits! Matti stated it perfectly when he said "then Premiere...if it actually worked." I've been an editor on a soccer documentary for the last couple of years with 100s of hours of 6k Red footage, dozens of sequences with 20+ video tracks and multiple audio tracks, multicam clips, etc. There has not been ONE day that I've edited and Premiere hasn't crashed! Premiere Rush is more stable! Even if one can get past how unstable Premiere is and don't mind restarting multiple times a day, Premiere, or any other track-based editor is a NIGHTMARE for complex projects! There is far too much that can go wrong downstream when edits/inserts need to be made. FCP's magnetic timeline, if you know how to use it, makes life SO much easier and makes the edit so much faster.
BEWARE of "Leave Files In Place." Beginners might not have the habit of ALWAYS copying media from their cards to another drive. So leaving the files in place, for them, means- on the card. Once removed or copied over- bye-bye media. I've taught NLE's since AVID back in the 90's (AVID, D-Vision, Lightworks, Media 100, Premiere, FCP1-10)- beginners lose media all the time because of poor media management skills. Unfortunately, not everyone follows these procedures correctly- and leaving in place can be ruinous. (I get this is a reply video to someone who already knows, but your audience may include those just starting.) Great content!!
Sure, but this is a problem exacerbated by final cut-by “solving” this this way you discourage having good habits. What Final Cut SHOULD do is toss up a warning that you’re adding from a camera card, and offer to move the media to a folder along side the project file. Putting it inside the bundle is silly. I will add that the final cut bro is missing one fact here-which he probably already knows-if you have the media on the same hard drive as the project file, final cut doesn’t ACTUALLY copy the files into the project. It uses a trick of the APFS file system. It creates a soft link to the files on the drive. These don’t actually take up any more space. Sure if you “get info” on the file it will show a size as if it was all full of the media. But it’s not actually there. If you move the the file to an archive drive or something then it will copy the media, but It’s actually just making that the case as the copy is happening. You can test this: put some media on a hard drive. Make a final cut project on that same volume. Add the media to it, using the “copy media into the project” the free space the drive should remain the same. Make a new project, add that same media to *it.* the free space should remains the same. Lather rinse repeat. You’re not using up any more hard drive space. Copy that project to an external drive now, and be ready to wait-because NOW it’s copying all those files inside the bundle. I’m still leaving files in place, but it’s good to know that this is how it works. (Also it does make for a decent archive solution since it’s taking all the files you used.)
Bonus tip for keeping your file size smaller: change the location of the library‘s cache to a folder on your hard drive instead of saving it directly in the library. You can do that in the library settings. After you‘ve finished your project you can just delete the cache which usually is hundrets of GB big.
There's an plugin called Diet which you drag your library into the plugin and it deletes all your unwanted files. It's fast and saves you so much space.
5:00 That bonus tip right there is awesome!! I hope your channel keeps blowing up because honestly my UA-cam videos have improved night and day because of you. Thanks and I wish you much success in 2023!
As a beginner with fcp, and someone who watches your content and Matti's, you did an outstanding job explaining some key features, and took a great approach with this video! nice job.👍🏻
Thank you, Dylan! I was shouting the same stuff when I saw Matti's video. I think he's a great creator and have been following him a long time, but a lot of people don't try out the software for themselves...they just hear their favorite creator say something and take that as gospel.
It is true! Granted, even myself, I have never done a truly deep dive on Premiere, and I am sure it would blow my mind all the stuff you can do there. I am only just starting to dip my toes into Davinci, and I am really impressed what they have over there. But it's hard for people to get the time (and money for that matter) to try out all the software, so they usually just have to go with what the people they watch say.
I think Matti's video shows why people should dive in a try this stuff out for themselves. Matti has switched back and forth between the two about four times now. Matti is going through all the growing pains. It just shows people, download the free trials and see what works best.
@@TheFinalCutBro premiere is just toooo buggy. its never been reliable since clear back in CS days.....all the same issues still today. I learned resolve back at version 12 and have used it for certain projects all the way to current version. Anyone who just cant accept FCP.....needs to bypass the headaches of Pr and go directly to Resolve.
Finally!! Someone that's hyping up Motion!! I've been using that software for 8 years and it still baffles me how overlooked it is. Just found your channel and this is just an excellent video-had no idea about the tilde key toggle for disconnecting clips. That's gonna be so freaking helpful!
Many so called UA-camrs (of filmmaker who only do some videos on UA-cam) out there keep comparing, jumping over different tools, making tons of complaints and excuses but at the end of the day, they only need to do most of the simple cut, drag, copy, paste tools that available in every app to make a UA-cam video. Why the heck they keep making it a big deal. Don’t get me wrong. Matti is a great man. I like Matti and I love some videos he has made very inspired but he also has made some videos complain about Premier when he jumped to FC and then now complain about FC to jump back to Premier. I don’t know about his commercial work or big job for clients but for the type of videos on his channel, no need any super VFX to make them. Fc, Premier, Davinci or even some iPad app like LumaFusion can do those video without any problem. Thanks Dylan for another helpful video
And that's why UA-camrs don't mean professional, I don't ever bother to watch and/or comment on their videos because their level of knowledge is basically beginner. This video shows nice Final Cut Pro skills and knowledge. Well done! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Super helpful video man, I’ve been editing on Final Cut Pro for a few years now and definitely learned some new tricks from this video. Keep up the good work brother!
Thanks so much for having class in your delivery! Nuff said. And I see I can learn a bunch from you. Thanks for taking the time to share premium content. I subbed. carrying on...
I had no idea FCP had manual temperature and tint sliders buried under the color wheels tab! I've been fighting the balance color effect for so long, and this is the first resource that's ever mentioned an alternative to that. Bless you mate!
I just can't Tell you how helpful this video was for me. I'm just loving your videos 🫶 I was about to shift to premier pro just because of the link between after effects and premier pro but now i think i will not. I would love it if you'll make videos similar to this pointing out other creators the same way you did in this video 👍
Like Dylan said…you should check out Apple Motion. It’s only $50. It’s extremely powerful graphics compositing software. It does everything After Effects does, except the rotomask thing (very cool feature in AE). But that works by using machine learning. I’m sure Apple will include something like that in the next update.
Thanks for your video man! I've been using FCPX for about 5 years now switched from Premiere, and I really don't know how people are still using Premiere with the monthly CC subscription it's expensive. FCPX is so much more intuitive and easier to use, it's faster at rendering and exporting and the magnetic timeline is awesome
Amazing job on the video Dylan! I have lived in premiere for so many years and I'm still not yet ready to switch. HOWEVER, you've addressed most of my concerns about using Final Cut Pro. Very informative and a instant sub. Cheers!
I know you know it. Just a quick tip for those who don't. *R for range+Delete* is cool. But I would recommend 1. *Command+B* for Cut (If in same clip there is sth before) 2. Then _move timeline to where you want to cut_ (Cooperate with 3), *'Option+[ or ]'* to delete anything before/behind the same clip. 3. Simply Range is hard to select the *exact* place (Where work with sound/Cut on beat/Dialogue etc), you always need to use '”'' / Shift+' to jump 1/10 frame to be precise. Have a nice day.
He definitely has a solid grasp on it! But these are tricks that took me years to learn, so hopefully I can save him some headache haha! Appreciate you watching! 👊
I stopped watching Matti a long time ago when he said "don't film with your phone. get a camera" and there I was shooting a whole music video on a Oneplus 6 and an iPhone X. This video is super helpful, as always @Dylan!
Love this video!! Long time FCP user here, and seeing that you can move the attachment points of overlapping sequences was just 🤯 But for editing I think I am even faster-using custom keyboard shortcuts for Ripple Delete and Ripple Trim compared to using Range delete. :)
When I discovered that you could save a Motion project as any class of Final Cut effect/title/generator and literally drag and drop them into your projects, it completely changed my workflow forever. Such a seamless way to do things. On top of that you can tell your library to store the used Motion effects directly on the library so when you go to edit on another computer you’ll still have your project perfectly conserved.
However it will not archive your other plugins. If you use color finale to do the color on a project, and then try to open that project on a system without color finale, it will just show an error on every clip. This is the worst with adjustment layers. Download a random adjustment layer from the web and do a bunch of editing. Open a project on a new system with some other random adjustment layer and…too bad, so sad. You have to delete all the changes you made via the adjustment layer. That often means baseline color corrections or maybe even complicated effects you’ve added. And! You can even just copy them to your new layer. You’re SOL. Apple really needs to let us backup the plugins used-maybe have an archive format version that goes with the plugin? And they need their own adjustment layer badly.
@@ebelleau that is correct. I do media work for a local music store and pretty much all of the assets I use for videos are right there on Final Cut ready to be dropped on projects. If you haven’t dived into Motion don’t waste any more time because if you’re a full time FCP editor, you’re missing out big time.
@@eggydrums I just am in the process of switching to final cut for everything the past month I’ve been learning it and have a m1 max on order….once I saw the efficiency I couldn’t …unsee it lol
Hay Dylan, amazing video. I’ve been editing with FCPX professionally for many years and picked up a couple of very valuable tips I didn’t know in this video👍 you were being lovey but you were way to kind to Matti. He was lazy and clearly misinformed in his review. To me, many of the influencers with huge following have become servants to the algorithms, sponsorships and paid advertising. The video was rushed and looked like he needed to fill a slot. It felt like he was justifying rather than reviewing. It’s people like you who are now adding genuine value rather than singing the song of the highest bidder. I know you are too nice to say this but it’s being noticed everywhere. Their opinions are paid now. Such a shame as I have loved watching them grow. I am still subscribed to Matti and people like Peter M but not for much longer unless they get back to being real. I can’t believe what they say anymore as it’s normally trying to sell something. Rant over😂 seriously, thanks for the content you produce mate it’s amazing. 👍👍👍👍
Wow, you just gave me faith back in Final Cut Pro. I’ve used it for at least 6 years now. I was planning on leaving and going to premier pro, not now. Thank you brother. Great stuff here 👍🏽‼️
I’ve been trying to disable the connected clips forever, thank you so much! Now I can finally delete certain clips in the timeline without losing the placement of other clips and audio files. Amazing tips, thank you so much
I saw that video, and the comments were filled with people trying to help! Glad you made this video in response to that. Very concise, clear and super helpful. Hopefully Matti sees this. If not, I am 100% sure other people will find it useful. Great video! PS for the last year I’ve heard about motion. Been meaning to take it out for a test drive but life always seems to get busy when I want to do it. ONE of these days for sure I’ll sit and learn it
Can’t wait to see matti’s response to this!!! Love it! I just got started using Final Cut Pro as well so I am definitely subscribing. Love the name of your channel too!
I would even recommend "render selection" so you only render what you need when you need to do it. If you have a 20 minute video and only one spot is giving you issue, just render that, check it, then go on your merry way again.
THANKS Dylan 🙏🏻 I've been using FCPX for 7 years and I love it. With regards to Matti I've been following him for a long while and I think he makes these videos to grab attention and views (he is smart) as he's been talking about similar topics several times.
Mind blown! I've been using fcp for about four years yet I learned so much from your vid!! can't believe I can learn all of these for free. Subscribed!
Great video as always! When I watched Matti’s video I also thought of these. One other thing I’d suggest for smaller project files, is leaving the Cache and Backups outside of the project. I usually have a folder in the Movies just for all cache and backups. When it’s too heavy I’ll just delete it
Great tips😃 Rather than the range tool, I personally prefer to use the option-[ or ] to trim clips and have them mapped to a button on the tour box. I mouse over to where I want the clip to start and option [ the clip. Saves a few clicks and button presses. Love your work, cheers 🤙
I’ve learned a lot from you. I’ve just purchased the FCP and for the last two weeks instead of using it, I’ve watched almost your entire collection of movies and I feel so much more equipped to tackle my future videos. Thank you 😊
Dylan its folks like you who make A HUGE DIFFERENCE not only a fantastic coach but kind and generous, thank you a thousand times, awesome instruction👍👍👍
I'm increasingly getting frustrated with PremeirePro. Got a M1 MacBookPro coming my way and am going to start giving FCP a try when it's here. So glad you made this video and YT recommended it to me. Looking forward to learning with your content.
Hey Dylan, I am so reposting this video on Matti's comment section XD Now you got to do FStoppers ;) By the way, one quick question: As you say in the video I absolutely love the Range tool for editing out sections easily- but most of my videos have several layers- is there a way to make the range tool work as a BLADE ALL type of tool so if I select the primary timeline it will also perform the edit on e everything else connected? Hope this makes sense and thanks for your awesome videos!
As a long FCP user since the very 1st one . . .I do remember the R- Render tool . . . for almost everything from back in the day . . .great video here dude.
Dylan, THANK YOU for making this video. I almost made one myself.....I started with Adobe in 2004 on CS2.....it has never stopped being buggy and unreliable. I learned FCP 6&7 and then committed fully to FCPX when it released. I still have to use premiere on occasion for legacy projects with clients that used others before me. Every time I have to go back I HATE it.....soooo clunky. Final Cut is incredibly reliable/fast.....I cut well over 100 projects per year on it for the last decade and have never regretted my decision. I hope Matti sees your video and really digs into what FCP is capable of. Cheers, great video!! :)
Great video as usual Dylan. But he also thinks organizing a project in Pr is better than FCPX. In the video where he said he was leaving FCPX, I recommended that he watch some of Thomas Grove Carter's videos on the subject but I'm sure you have addressed it in other videos as well. Pr can't touch FCP with project organization.
Very true! I actually recorded an entire bit on organization in FCP, but I just felt it really fell flat, and killed the pacing of the video. So I opted to pull it out. But organization in FCP is actually one of its strongest features!
I wonder if matti ever used keywords or the index or roles? I’m glad he tried out FCP but releasing these silly “don’t use X” or “I’m switching from X to Y” videos is YT at its worst. IMHO. Tutorials like this channel add so much REAL value to the community.
The final cut bro 😎 thanks man I was debating getting premiere or FCP for a while now, but simply because I own a M1 Pro MacBook I think my best bet is to go with FCP

Always so much value! And lol at matti using colour board, it’s like he went out of his way to make final cut look bad
I know you know it. Just a quick tip for those who don't.
*R for range+Delete* is cool.
But I would recommend
1. *Command+B* for Cut (If in same clip there is sth before)
2. Then _move timeline to where you want to cut_ (Cooperate with 3), *'Option+[ or ]'* to delete anything before/behind the same clip.
3. Simply Range is hard to select the *exact* place (Where work with sound/Cut on beat/Dialogue etc), you always need to use '”'' / Shift+' to jump 1/10 frame to be precise.
Have a nice day.

When I discovered that you could save a Motion project as any class of Final Cut effect/title/generator and literally drag and drop them into your projects, it completely changed my workflow forever. Such a seamless way to do things.
On top of that you can tell your library to store the used Motion effects directly on the library so when you go to edit on another computer you’ll still have your project perfectly conserved.
So for each one of my clients consistent videos, I could just make their branding colors and titles and drag/drop them to each project?
However it will not archive your other plugins. If you use color finale to do the color on a project, and then try to open that project on a system without color finale, it will just show an error on every clip.
This is the worst with adjustment layers. Download a random adjustment layer from the web and do a bunch of editing. Open a project on a new system with some other random adjustment layer and…too bad, so sad. You have to delete all the changes you made via the adjustment layer. That often means baseline color corrections or maybe even complicated effects you’ve added. And! You can even just copy them to your new layer. You’re SOL.
Apple really needs to let us backup the plugins used-maybe have an archive format version that goes with the plugin?
And they need their own adjustment layer badly.
@@ebelleau that is correct. I do media work for a local music store and pretty much all of the assets I use for videos are right there on Final Cut ready to be dropped on projects. If you haven’t dived into Motion don’t waste any more time because if you’re a full time FCP editor, you’re missing out big time.
@@eggydrums I just am in the process of switching to final cut for everything the past month I’ve been learning it and have a m1 max on order….once I saw the efficiency I couldn’t …unsee it lol
@1:50 Thanks for that one tip about the tilde key - I have never known about it for years .... until now!
Finally! I was shaking my head as I was watching Matti’s video. FCPx is so much better! Thanks for making this!
Hay Dylan, amazing video. I’ve been editing with FCPX professionally for many years and picked up a couple of very valuable tips I didn’t know in this video👍 you were being lovey but you were way to kind to Matti. He was lazy and clearly misinformed in his review. To me, many of the influencers with huge following have become servants to the algorithms, sponsorships and paid advertising. The video was rushed and looked like he needed to fill a slot. It felt like he was justifying rather than reviewing. It’s people like you who are now adding genuine value rather than singing the song of the highest bidder. I know you are too nice to say this but it’s being noticed everywhere. Their opinions are paid now. Such a shame as I have loved watching them grow. I am still subscribed to Matti and people like Peter M but not for much longer unless they get back to being real. I can’t believe what they say anymore as it’s normally trying to sell something. Rant over😂 seriously, thanks for the content you produce mate it’s amazing. 👍👍👍👍
Dang, there’s always something to learn. Future reminder (again) to play and explore the option + tool combination at times.
Wow, you just gave me faith back in Final Cut Pro. I’ve used it for at least 6 years now. I was planning on leaving and going to premier pro, not now. Thank you brother. Great stuff here 👍🏽‼️
I’ve been trying to disable the connected clips forever, thank you so much! Now I can finally delete certain clips in the timeline without losing the placement of other clips and audio files. Amazing tips, thank you so much
I saw that video, and the comments were filled with people trying to help! Glad you made this video in response to that. Very concise, clear and super helpful. Hopefully Matti sees this. If not, I am 100% sure other people will find it useful. Great video!
PS for the last year I’ve heard about motion. Been meaning to take it out for a test drive but life always seems to get busy when I want to do it. ONE of these days for sure I’ll sit and learn it
the last two extra tips blew my mind! Thanks for that
Can’t wait to see matti’s response to this!!! Love it! I just got started using Final Cut Pro as well so I am definitely subscribing. Love the name of your channel too!
Wow, thank you Dylan! Super appreciate you! 🙏
Remind me antenna fail. Apple ''You hold your phone wrong 😅''
I would even recommend "render selection" so you only render what you need when you need to do it. If you have a 20 minute video and only one spot is giving you issue, just render that, check it, then go on your merry way again.
How do you do that, that's awesome!
THANKS Dylan 🙏🏻 I've been using FCPX for 7 years and I love it.
With regards to Matti I've been following him for a long while and I think he makes these videos to grab attention and views (he is smart) as he's been talking about similar topics several times.
Mind blown! I've been using fcp for about four years yet I learned so much from your vid!! can't believe I can learn all of these for free. Subscribed!
Within 2mins I have bloody saved file space and learned to optimise the magnetic timeline 🤯 crazy crash course 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great video as always! When I watched Matti’s video I also thought of these. One other thing I’d suggest for smaller project files, is leaving the Cache and Backups outside of the project. I usually have a folder in the Movies just for all cache and backups. When it’s too heavy I’ll just delete it
Dylan, awesome, excellent video. Very timely too.
This video has blown my mind. So so helpful.
Great tips😃 Rather than the range tool, I personally prefer to use the option-[ or ] to trim clips and have them mapped to a button on the tour box. I mouse over to where I want the clip to start and option [ the clip. Saves a few clicks and button presses. Love your work, cheers 🤙
🔥
Dylan my guy.. That bonus tip at the end blew my mind. Thanks for making learning about editing a bit more fun.
A most useful tutorial. Please keep these tips and tricks videos coming.
Wow what a good video. I love the charisma you bring! 🙌🏽👏🏽
I’ve learned a lot from you. I’ve just purchased the FCP and for the last two weeks instead of using it, I’ve watched almost your entire collection of movies and I feel so much more equipped to tackle my future videos. Thank you 😊
Dylan its folks like you who make A HUGE DIFFERENCE
not only a fantastic coach but kind and generous, thank you a thousand times, awesome instruction👍👍👍
woah...those bonus tips...had no idea!! Appreciate you!
Wow! Great tutorial Dylan… I NEVER knew the Ripple selection and delete… can’t believe I’ve missed that!! Great video
So helpful, I appreciate this. Continue to be awesome.
This was very helpful. I really hope he sees this, you can't hate on an editing program if you don't know how to use it!
Thank you, Dylan - THANK YOU! So many functions, I didn't know of before. Great content!
Great vid, tips and delivery. Gonna check out a bunch of your videos. You just got a new subscriber!
the ~, opt, t shortcuts... my mind was blown after how many years of not knowing this... thank you sir!
Just discovered your channel recently! Love it and subscribed!
How am I only just learning about the tilde key tip when using the magnetic timeline 🤯 great vid, thanks!
I learned so much from this video. Great work Dylan! Thank you.
I'm increasingly getting frustrated with PremeirePro. Got a M1 MacBookPro coming my way and am going to start giving FCP a try when it's here. So glad you made this video and YT recommended it to me. Looking forward to learning with your content.
Tilda key for the win! That has been one of my most frustrating things with FCP, those connected clips. Thank you for the tips!
Great video Dylan! Thank you for all the tips and tricks, definitely going to subscribe!
Beautiful! bit of a game changer for this FCPX newbie--thank you! Looking forward to binging your Motion playlist
This is exactly what I needed. Thanks mate for sharing!
Hey Dylan, I am so reposting this video on Matti's comment section XD Now you got to do FStoppers ;) By the way, one quick question: As you say in the video I absolutely love the Range tool for editing out sections easily- but most of my videos have several layers- is there a way to make the range tool work as a BLADE ALL type of tool so if I select the primary timeline it will also perform the edit on e everything else connected? Hope this makes sense and thanks for your awesome videos!
From my VERY limited understanding, you can do that only after making a compound clip of those layers.
@@roxville how cool would it be if the range tool could work for multiple layers though? :)
Love it, great tips and tricks! Keep em coming. thank you!
As a long FCP user since the very 1st one . . .I do remember the R- Render tool . . . for almost everything from back in the day . . .great video here dude.
Dylan, THANK YOU for making this video. I almost made one myself.....I started with Adobe in 2004 on CS2.....it has never stopped being buggy and unreliable. I learned FCP 6&7 and then committed fully to FCPX when it released. I still have to use premiere on occasion for legacy projects with clients that used others before me. Every time I have to go back I HATE it.....soooo clunky. Final Cut is incredibly reliable/fast.....I cut well over 100 projects per year on it for the last decade and have never regretted my decision. I hope Matti sees your video and really digs into what FCP is capable of. Cheers, great video!! :)
Great video as usual Dylan. But he also thinks organizing a project in Pr is better than FCPX. In the video where he said he was leaving FCPX, I recommended that he watch some of Thomas Grove Carter's videos on the subject but I'm sure you have addressed it in other videos as well. Pr can't touch FCP with project organization.
Very true! I actually recorded an entire bit on organization in FCP, but I just felt it really fell flat, and killed the pacing of the video. So I opted to pull it out. But organization in FCP is actually one of its strongest features!
I wonder if matti ever used keywords or the index or roles? I’m glad he tried out FCP but releasing these silly “don’t use X” or “I’m switching from X to Y” videos is YT at its worst. IMHO. Tutorials like this channel add so much REAL value to the community.
The final cut bro 😎 thanks man I was debating getting premiere or FCP for a while now, but simply because I own a M1 Pro MacBook I think my best bet is to go with FCP
That was one very on point and easy to understand FCPX tutorial Dylan! Can’t believe I haven’t seen your channel, you just got another subscriber ✌🏼
Been editing on fcp for 5 years. First time hearing about the clip magnet tip and something I hated when not needed. Subscription well deserved!!
I have been editing in fcpx for years and this is treasure! Thanks for the tips.
Finalmente alguien habla de Final Cut y lo poderoso que es, rápido, efectivo y sin BUGS
Where were you all my life?! Jesus the YT algorithm finally did me some good. Insta sub. The bro I always needed ❤️
Love your title and thumbnail of this video! I just subscribed and gonna watch your final cut tutorials!
I love the way you presented this video!
Thank you very much! What a good video ! Keep up creating contents please :) Really good content for real
