Compressing the folders in motion templates is genius. I’ve been dragging dropping plug ins in a separate folder to disable them for too long and now I’ll use this method. Thanks!
My Final Cut has been absolutely tanking lately. Even simple edits were giving me constant beach balls. I realised the main issue was having the library on the external SSD. Moving it onto the internal SSD fixed a lot of the beach balls. I'm still getting them sometimes though so I'm going to check all your points.
Ha! That explains things. I have FOUR removable hard drives plugged into my Mac most of the time (I double x double backup important files). Based on your advice, I will mend the error of my ways. Your help and advice is always very much appreciated over here in windy and wet Scotland. Excellent tutorial.
#4 is awesome!!! Some of my Pixel Film Studios plug ins were causing Motion to take about 15 minutes to open. PFS told me to put them into an "alternate folder" while using Motion and then put them back into their respective effects, generators, transition or title folders when needed for Final Cut Pro. Total time waster and pretty much a lousy way to work. Now I compress them as you said and leave them in their normal folders. And it works like a charm. Apple Motion opens right up and I don't have to swap folders when needed
If FCP is running and I connect my AirPods, starting or stopping playback literally takes half a second once I hit start/stop, and skimming along the timeline is so laggy it's impossible to use. Interestedly, connecting the AirPods first and then starting FCP seems to help. It's still a little laggy, but it's usable, though clearly not as fast as using external speakers.
Thanks Dylan. Do you think it would be doable to create your own "GRIDDY" effect template in motion? Maybe not with all the bells and whistles of the Fx Factory version but I was thinking that with utilizing replicators it shouldn't be that difficult.... but maybe I'm delusional. I would love to see that type of video (your build it motion vids are easily my favourite type you do). Keep up the great work.
Griddy was built in Motion, so yes! This video shows the basics of how you could set something like that up. You’d just need to add more positions than what I show. ua-cam.com/video/FTMDFatLs0o/v-deo.htmlsi=WcTYxQr5X5zX0GGk
@@TheFinalCutBro I enjoyed that video already (and followed along AND use it all the time - thanks). What really turned out to help is the shout out you gave to Brett FX Splitz.... so much more reasonably priced than Griddy!

You missed a big point Dyl.....improve your FCP performance by subscribing to this channel
And by this channel, you mean Dylan John Dickerson right?
@@TheFinalCutBro Take out 'John Dickerson' and replace it with 'Bates' and yes, I was talking about that one.

#3 ABSOLUTELY!! My external is like a boat anchor when it comes to production.
Excellent. Thank you
Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!
Love the video!!! Keep up the great work! This video is awesome!
Another great video!
Always getting 1 or 2 new tips. Great work Dylan!
Dylan, what do you use for your colour grading. It looks awesome.
I had a few lightbulb moments while watching this video. Thanks for the great tips!
That view show status bar tip is a handy one!
What plug in do I use if I want the picture n picture- I’ve seen you use it in a few videos where you sate in a round circle

Hey Dylan can you make a video on how to sync video and audio using timecode in FCPX please.
waiting for you to do this .. more content like this please

You just saved me from a 4th failed export :) Thanks Dylan!!!
That audio collapse is a sweet tip
7. to put big parts in compound clips
Another thing that can slow a project down is using optical flow.
Too bad because otherwise I’d use it all the time.
first...yay!!! ☺
