Just noticed that the graphic I used at 3:25 went missing! But somehow it ended up working out in the end? Thanks for watching fam! Let me know your favorite tips!
Yeah, I noticed the ‘red flash’ of the Missing Files. Don’t worry! Great tips. Mind your music level, it’s often to loud to hear your voice, especially this rather irritating ‘pumping’ music.
I've been editing on FCP for about 3 years - the compound clip parent clip thing and and title find and replace text tips are invaluable, wish I'd know about them sooner! Cheers mate
Love these tips! Thank you! The game changing tip for my workflow was instead of using keyboard shortcuts of (B) for blade or (R) for range was to hold them down and then click. Once I click FCP goes back to my default selection tool. Hopefully that makes sense!
You can actually copy and paste key frames by selecting them by holding down shift, then clicking option shift C and option shift V to paste onto any clip, or on same clip
Hi Dylan, just a note to add with the first tip, that only works if you have put the whole multicam clip into your project and cut it down into separate clips from there. If you have in'd and out'd different parts of your multicam clip in your browser then added those separate sections into your project, your settings inside your multicam clip don't carry accross to all the other clips, only those cut from the original in & out points.
I was just thinking that I needed to spend more time with FCP and here you are on my feed with GREAT tips and content! Instant sub! Keep up the great work!
Dylan Bate, you are always appear with some surprising features of Final Cut Pro. Thank you so much 💯❤. I have reached top 5 in LinkedIn with FCPX 10.4.8. At this moment I've to work with a company and they use Adobe Premiere. I have seen your lots of videos because I still love Final Cut Pro, I think this is the best editing software. I can say that because I can operate other editing software too. Among them Final Cut Pro is the best. Goodluck Dylan, pray for you
great tricks and content, my final cut bro I already learned alot on this channel and you surprise me everytime with new easy tricks to do better edits, big thanks!
Thanks again Dylan! Great content! Still working on the best uses for compound clips for my editing style. I love the misspelled titles fix & the flicker!
I'm at the point where I am actually considering hiring an editor. My videos are not talking head videos, and the editing is very important to the content of my Channel. I have edited everything myself so far, because I come from that world and actually love editing. But I need to give it up to focus on hopefully growing the Channel and business surrounding it. So my question for you all here is......what is a fair rate for a full time editor that can tell good stories, and also be a bit of a jack of all trades by doing some color and sound work (nothing crazy for color and sound)? Any input is appreciated.
“Make sure you always apply your A roll into a compound clip or multicam clip before editing”. How? How do you take 30 separate A roll shots, each of which had 4 or 5 takes, with lots of B roll interspersed throughout, and create a compound or multicam clip? You opened up your multicam and it showed one continuous take. I have dozens of A roll clips
Also, what does it mean to “apply” something “into” a compound clip? That verb is not intuitive. Do you mean create a compound clip from all the A roll segments?
Thanks once again. I am already SUBSCIRBED by the way... LOL I like the tip to able to drag the video with out the audio, but for some reason if I want the audio after wards what do we do? Drag the video back over the timeline and replace the clip with All select? Or si there another way?
Adjustment layer is different thing. If you use adjustment layer, again you will need to search thru timeline for the same clips (camera) and place that adjustment layer above them. With compound clip you are altering …. lets say the “raw” clip in basic level so wherever the same compound clip is used thru timeline will carry the same adjustments.
Adjustment layers are great! You can use them both interchangeably. Except, you can also do audio effects within the multicam! Adjustment layers cannot be used in the multicam. Definitely just depends on your workflow for a given project!
Every time I add an adjustment layer above a video inside a compound clip, the thumbnail of the compound clip changes to the default thumbnail/icon of the adjustment layer. I no longer see the thumbnails of the video in the browser or timeline. Very annoying. Any idea why?
thank you so much! Quick question: is there a way to ease the keyframes??? i use a lot of them in scale but i cant find a way of easy ease them... thank you!!!
Easing in FCP doesn’t exist. It’s awful I know. One of my largest complaints for FCP. I use a plugin called AddMotion and it’s absolutely essential if you do any motion graphics! This video shows it off ua-cam.com/video/Hn3r0Th1Z1A/v-deo.html
Great video! One of my biggest time wasters in FCPX is with transitions between 1-2 compound clips. They “lock” the in and out points on the compound clip itself (even though the clip(s) inside the compound clip could be extended). So I have to break apart the clip, make the in and out longer than needed, make it a compound clip again and then trim the ends to apply a transition to it. Anyone aware of a fix for this? Would be nice if FCPX recognized that the clip’s length inside a compound clip so adding transitions wasn’t a pain.
Totally agree, this is super frustrating! I've just made it apart of my workflow to extend out the clips as long as possible before compound clipping them. Seems like an unnecessary step, but unfortunately that's just what we have to work with. Would love for Apple to add a new workflow for this!
great. especially New Parent Clip. BTW, any idea how to change canvas color bacground under main footage window ..sometimes I have dark clips and its difficult to see if I am out or not.
If you go into Final Cut Pro > Preferences > Playback - there is an option near the bottom to change the viewer background. You can change it to white or checkerboard! It would be nice if you could set custom colors, but those are the options given.
Great vid. Unfortunately to erase the even more massive data of analyzing - for optical flow e.g. - you still have to go into the package of the library. Or is there another way?
@@TheFinalCutBro I beg to differ. I just tried it again: Put a 19 sec clip (243 MB) to 65 % and optical flow. It generated 16 GB of Analysis data. After rendering I got the option to erase the render data but in the package it's still there under "Osmo/Analysis Files/Optical Flow/..." and it still shows in the library under "Cache"... It did erase the render data but not the analysis...
@@seb-depp oh interesting! I might be totally wrong about that then. Thanks for digging in on that! I typically use FCPX Library Manager which totally cleans up all the generated files. But allows you to do it on a mass scale. And it clears out optical flow files as well (under generated media). So that’s where I must’ve made the mistake!
Adjustment layers don’t work with audio! So if you want to apply an audio effect (like a compressor) on your a-roll it’s much better to do it within a compound clip / multicam. But adjustment layers are great at many other things!

WOW I totally didn't know about Reference New Parent Clip, add video/audio only, or the title text replace feature! Thank you so much for this!

Wow, great techniques. Cheers Dylan 🤙
I've been editing in final cut since 2012 and I learned a lot today!!! thank you!
Dylan as I'm working on my editing your video came up and I leaned 2 new things from it. #6 and Bonus tip !!! Please keep them coming, sir.
Thanks bro! These tips really help a lot!
thanks! we need more FCP things you should know!
Mate, that TIP three double click... Thank you! =]
Great tips! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! It was very useful.
The way you animated each trick number is dope, I hope you'll do a tutorial on that !
So good! Had a few aha! moments. 🙂

I'm the sh!t at final cut but that first compound clip tip is GENIUS!!!! 🤯
-Im sending you merch for that one. Are you a medium?
Always good learning watching your videos 🙏

Dang these are all mega helpful. I learned a batch of new tricks! Definitely gonna implement them
Thank You 👍

Is there a way to align text or objects with a guide that comes up like Pixelmator Pro has?

mCamRig from MotionVFX! It's a free plugin that lets you move the camera like that.
