    Awesome tips Dylan. I got the audio hack from one of your previous video :) Is there a way to add sounds while having FCP open so it refreshes newly added files? It's kind of annoying to open/close FCP just to see the new sounds. I like to have the project open while searching and adding music/sfx to my folder so I can "test" them quickly to see if they fit.

    • @dylanjohndickerson
      @dylanjohndickerson  Рік тому

      Thanks my friend! No unfortunately I don't think so. I believe you have to restart the application.
      I also like to have my project open while searching and adding music/sfx to test them. If you just added a bunch of new ones and you don't want to close and reopen, you could just drag the new sound effects from the main sfx folder that you have and bring them into your FCP library.

What you can do is drag your overlays and graphics into the Apple TV app. Then go into Apple TV which is above your sound effects folder in FCP and you'll see them in there.
