I just do not get why some complain about magnetic timeline. I tried Premiere Pro as well and moving clips around in it feels way more challenging and I never was sure that there is no empty space between clips.
The thing I can’t figure out is when I delete a clip from the middle of my timeline it leaves a grey space. How can I get it to automatically snap closed those gaps????
make sure you are pressing the backspace delete (the one above the return/enter key) and not the forward delete. They do separate types of deletes. If that's not if then the keyboard shortcut may have been adjusted. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and the comment!
@@RafaelLudwig wow! Thank you that was it. I’m coming from Sony Vegas(way back) , then Lumafusion. This is a new learning curve, Similar to what you expressed in the video. 😁 You have been a huge help.
Sweet! Make sure you check out this playlist to help with learning fcp. Final Cut Pro Tutorials ua-cam.com/play/PLFutATfhhKQs8oWj0pO7dt5qz1Zfs-Xk7.html
I agree with you in some of the things you said, I started using FCP when it was 1.0, I went from that to FCP 7, we all knew apple was headed in the right direction and had the chance to be what is Resolve today and then they kill 7. FCP right now its missing two strong pieces to make this editing software stronger again, SoundTrack, Color and a lot of thing that is missing from FCP 7, still to this day I don't understand why they made this move with out bringing back what they left of from 7, Its been over 11 years and they're still not up to par of what FCP 7 use to be. I understand what you said about Resolve and the learning curve, but if someone wants to take this job serious, its the way to go, wants you learn Resolve there is no turning back, the cut page its basically like FCP and it works perfect with the rest of the pages and if you buy the speed editor, it takes this cut page to another level, night and day different that puts FCP in shame, grading in the color page you'll have in your hands the power of color grading whit power, its what hollywood uses to grade their mov, its simply the best and using nodes its a game changer for me, simple but yet powerful, Fairlight its what Soundtrack use to be, its a great page on Resolve and lets not even talk about Fusion, wants you understand how to deal with nodes structure, you'll see the power of fusion really fast. Apple build FCP from 1.0 to 7 in time record and it was one of the best ones out there and than they took FCP back in time and never again have they been serious about keeping up with competation for the benefit of the people who do this line of work. I use to use FCP X untill I started using Resolve after that only for my quick and easy jobs, but when Balckmagic came out with the cut page, FCP X, its been in the back burner. Resolve has everything you need from the simple job to Hollywood level work, its up to you how far you want to go and there is plenty to grow on this suits, it is at the level that fcp should be today but much better, Davinci Eesolve has no competition, hands down the best. All that for $299 for life and free upgrades and the free version you can use over 95% of the studio version, did I said its free with free updates.
I use FCP and have for years but I’m fairly impressed by Resolve and what it can do for action cam footage. I picked up studio this week and I’m definitely excited to get started learning it. I was happy to see the free version is really good and the learning material on their site is great but man it’s a lot of material. Not giving up FCP but definitely excited to learn a new software too.
Final Cut is KING 👑 Also, Im going to watch 'HOW FINAL CUT WENT OFF THE TRACKS' this week. I can't believe I haven't seen it. Great run through of why FCP is such a powerful and easy to use editing software, Rafael!
First watch "Off the Tracks" ua-cam.com/video/bfII0EcbCsg/v-deo.html then the follow up by This guy edits. ua-cam.com/video/Fo6S7OuJhrE/v-deo.html Thanks D!
@@dylanjohndickerson No way! Lol and yes i tried Premier almost a year ago! FCPX felt so limited so been trying to find a better program i told you this. But Premier was sooo buggy drove me nuts lol But DaVinci 18 is seriously so good. I had a free course from Sam Kolder from my buddy. So when i started looking into it i was very surprised. You cant even ease in and out a key frame is FCPX lol im still gonna use it after all the plug ins I’ve invested on etc at some point Im sure. Hope life is good brotha.
@@RafaelLudwig I actually enrolled in his course first, Quantum Growth, and that is exceptional but pricey so I'm curious how much of his course content is in the book since I haven't read it yet. But he is very talented and I learned a lot
Great video, as always! Question regarding your audio setup. With Accusonus being EOL'ed by Meta, I'm looking into Izotope for de-essing and cleanup. How are you using Izotope with FCP? I understand the plugins don't plugin to FCP. Do you round trip? What's your workflow and advice? And, if it's too much to type here... perhaps a video tutorial on audio enhancing FCP?
Yeah Accusonus was nice, but not really that great IMO. iZotope is by far much better quality. But it's hit or miss with FCP on M1 chips. Thought nectar does work consistently enough, and denoise works as long as I leave the default settings. But, and it's a big BUT. I am still using Rx7 and I just read that Rx9 works on M1 natively (no word about FCP though.). Thanks for watching and the comment John!
I recently picked up a Mac studio m1 max. But haven't had a moment to work in FCP too much - which audio plugins are you working with? The RX plugins are technically not supported on m1 Macs (yet). I do round trip them to the RX editor for simple clean up. But the new Voice isolate in FCP is fantastic! Thanks for watching and the comment Ryan!
I did a video for mCamRig ua-cam.com/video/BE9HXvf8MEI/v-deo.html and briefly talked about AddMotion here. ua-cam.com/video/bBTGvL-U1Lg/v-deo.html Thanks for watching and the comment David!
I love Final Cut Pro best editing software out there I hope people start noticing that more because there’s still a stigma in the industry. I don’t know why people still use premiere or avid they feel like I’m on a windows 95 machine resolve at least looks better but yes I agree fcp is not perfect, the things I would want to see in future updates are Roundtripping Apply effects to roles Ability to color label in the browser Keyframe window Dual timelines
That's a great question! I am going to do a FCP vs DR video. But spoiler - DR would wins on features, cross platform and price. But FCP wins on ease of use and learning. Thanks for watching and the comment Kevin!
It is a one time purchase but to use 3D Tracking and such, you end up spending quite bit of money for those plugins from VFX. Don't get me wrong, they are nice but they do get expensive and what happens once an update to FCPX or FCPIX comes out. Will you be able to upgrade those plugins or buy new ones? And the new feature to Remix audio right now i within Premiere is a game changer to my editing. Truly love that! With after effects, I have all the tools I need. Sure I pay a monthly fee, but once you add all of the effects that I can get in After Effects to my projects, I would have to spend a lot of money adding these plugins to FCPX. I'm playing with the demo now of FCPX and I'm getting the hang of it. But I can' quite make that jump yet. It would cost me quite a bit to purchase it, plus all of the addons I would require. Some of the VFX plugins that I would need right off the bat are $200+ dollars. That is for one plugin. So it is not an easy thing to do if you are currently subscribed to Adobe and its ecosystem. It is in fact costly to change.
I spend nearly $700 a year for the adobe suite, and Redgiant plugins (an extra $800) plus all the other plugins I have purchased over the years, I say I would have spent nearly $15,000 just to use adobe. Preimere alone is be $300 a year. So $300 one time plus even another $3000 for plugins would still be cheaper. But I do understand, once you are in a system, the workflow, the plugins, the muscle memory do add up to time saved. I use all the major NLE's and I keep coming back to FCP for it's speed and ease of use. Thanks for watching and the comment Mike!
I wonder if you still feel the same about some of these features now they appear in Resolve. Of course it really depends in what order you leart the software. If you learn nodes first for example then it's easy, if you don't the adjustment can be steep.
Nice video, I am Adobe certified but believe it or not I use Final Cut Pro why because it works perfectly for my needs and all the information here in this video is very helpful!
There are so many clients that do now want to use FCP, but I still find a way to use it for the bulk of the job then package the final in another NLE to hand over. Yes it's worth the bit of extra work at the end! Thanks for watching and the comment Daniel!
Well now I have a great video I can share with everyone who hits me up about the fears of Final Cut Pro. The best part? You are a veteran of Premiere Pro, Avid, and DaVinci Resolve so if YOU feel this way, it's a good be a lot of other editors from those NLEs will too. 🙌🏻🤘🏻
Great quality content. I think about switching from Resolve to FCP but it's not an easy task. As a wedding videographer all I want is simplicity and fast workflow. I like one click stabilisation, managing files and magnetic timeline. However I really do not like at all you have to buy so many plugins which make it no sense to me at all. For videographer Resolve is not complicated at all because I can use any video editing soft. It is all about making it as fast as possible to save time and have more time for myself and my family. And as a wedding videographer every hour matters. Switched to ios already and it will be hard decision to make. Cheers.
All in all I have decided to stay with Resolve. With recent updates it keeps getting better and better. I do not use any external plugins to make it work. And I dont have to spend extea money to get another soft.
FCP is a bit to learn but getting started in it happens quick. Resolve is a beast compared to FCP but long term it is the better choice for options! Hopefully FCP kicks it up a notch and starts to add really attractable features or I may move over to Resolve fully. Thanks for watching and the comment Aquaman!
I started on iMovie before switching to FCP. The 1 time payment is great because I may do a project every once in a while. And even then, the projects are usually small. I tried DaVenci just to try something new, but the learning curve was too steep and ended up going back to FCP. For my needs, FCP works just fine as an amateur.
For me, Final Cut Pro is like pop music and Premiere Pro is like jazz. There's nothing wrong with a good pop song. In fact, some of the greatest and most intricate songs ever written have been pop songs. They may sound basic, but there's a lot going on. However, you've got to work at jazz to enjoy it and quite honestly life's too short. I've tried Premiere Pro and it's too complicated and pretentious. If I've got a big project and deadlines, I don't want to be wrestling with my editing software. I just want to get on and do it and get excellent results, which FCP allows me to do.
For an NLE, I want something that will get out of my way, and let me edit. FCP is the one that consistently achieves that for me. Nothing innately wrong or better with the other NLE's, just not the one for me! I agree, the bigger the project the more likely I'll want to do it in FCP, if a client insists on PR, I'll do it in DR. Thanks for watching and the comment Neil!
I appreciate this video. I’m a premiere user, been for a decade. I bought final cut but have yet to dive in. I’m jnteeested in the motion graphics and ease of use. Videos like this help 🙏🏻
The magnetic timeline isn't what makes me detest track-based editing. It's the roles in FCP that make it phenomenal and not want to use track based editing.
DaVinci looks at it with an undisguised grin))) I tried all the main programs in my time and made videos on the same FCP since version 7. But now I understand that the best are Resolve and After Effects. This bundle will replace almost everything and it is the best by default)
Still waiting for the video that compares FCPX & Davinci Resolve ;) I think you promised a video like that a year ago (in a video about why Premier is dying).
You are 100% correct! I did promise it. It would be a hard video to make, they are both awesome programs. So it would just be a gush fest. One is super easy to learn but can do a lot, the other is harder to learn but can do even more! Thanks for watching and the comment Biorn! Have a great rest of your day!
Final Cut on my 16GB M1 MacBook Pro is a DOG! I have 80% of my HD free, I’ve freed up RAM, ran proxies, tried editing off SSD, dumped all files onto the internal drive and switched them to Apple ProRes, on and on, every stupid thing I’ve TRIED and it’s still a beach ball spinning worthless DOG. It’s unusable! I’m about to throw my hands up and dump the stupid thing and go with Davinci
Awesome video, Rafael! FCPX has been my editor of choice since awhile ago, and I have to say that I love it. Lately I’ve been shooting in BRaw so I have to upload in Resolve and export in ProRes to FCPX and I said “I wish I could know Resolve as much as I know fcp, but as you mentioned, it’s not that user friendly!!! Thanks so much for sharing this video. Cheers
Sorry, but I worked with Adobe, Sony Vegas, Magix and I am finding Finalcut Pro the most unintuitive of them all. All these key commands remind me of the MS Dos era. Back in the day Apple stood for intuitive operation. And great GUIs. FCPs menus are spread all over the place. In every corner you find a few. And for every new thing I had to read the manual. Nothing is self explanatory. Maybe it is a matter of personal taste, but the most intuitive video editor by far is Adobes Premiere Pro. It is the only one where I never ever had to refer to the manual. But I hate the renting philosophy that they started to impose on us. Finalcut is relatively inexpensive and its functionality is massive. For me the biggest pro factor is the combination with Motion 5, which is a wonderful extension. You can create your own title generators that will cost you a lot in other editors. Apple is still able to make intuitive stuff. GarageBand for iOS is an example. Logic is too. Finalcut is definitely not.
The problem with Final Cut is the MACKYINTOSHY platform & its PRICE DaVnci is Free or in my Case is $299 for life and they thru in a $300 Speed editor. That made DaVinci Studio FREE for life Bro.
💯 DaVinci is fantastic and overall the best in class NLE, and it will only become better over time. FCP is a great entry into editing and post if you getting started and already have a Mac. Thanks for watching and the comment!

Final Cut Pro Rocks!! I won't lie, it's got a learning curve, coming from basic but really easy to learn editor Movavi. I am also learning Resolve.
FCP is a bit to learn but getting started in it happens quick. Resolve is a beast compared to FCP but long term it is the better choice for options!

It’s unusable! I’m about to throw my hands up and dump the stupid thing and go with Davinci
I just need FCP to allow me to import AVCHD files.
Awesome video, Rafael! FCPX has been my editor of choice since awhile ago, and I have to say that I love it. Lately I’ve been shooting in BRaw so I have to upload in Resolve and export in ProRes to FCPX and I said “I wish I could know Resolve as much as I know fcp, but as you mentioned, it’s not that user friendly!!! Thanks so much for sharing this video. Cheers
I'm hoping that Apple finds a way to natively work with BRAW - it should be easy! Thanks for watching and the comment Ruben!
Final Cut all the way and don't fear the ease of use ;)
DaVinci bro!!! Its like FCPX plus more! Its sooo good. Especially the new version
Learned to edit years ago in FCP, back then I loved editing.
Over the last years I've come to hate editing, thanks to having to edit in Premiere Pro..
I work in FCP for a while now because DR is for some reason not working anymore since the latest macos update. Like it but love DR.
KEYFRAMING !!!!
100% pathetic at best! Thanks for watching and the comment Bernard!
Good work bro
Davinci Resolve isn’t that hard to learn. Just take some time with it. After you’ll see that Davinci is more capable and comfortable to work with.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Best app in the world for sure!
It sure is! Thanks for watching and the comment Claudio!
@@RafaelLudwig You're welcome.
Me tooo MASN greatest editor out there. Adobe greed... Premiere is a Terrible app
You cant even ease in and out a keyframe in FCPX lol
Sorry, but I worked with Adobe, Sony Vegas, Magix and I am finding Finalcut Pro the most unintuitive of them all. All these key commands remind me of the MS Dos era. Back in the day Apple stood for intuitive operation. And great GUIs. FCPs menus are spread all over the place. In every corner you find a few. And for every new thing I had to read the manual. Nothing is self explanatory. Maybe it is a matter of personal taste, but the most intuitive video editor by far is Adobes Premiere Pro. It is the only one where I never ever had to refer to the manual. But I hate the renting philosophy that they started to impose on us. Finalcut is relatively inexpensive and its functionality is massive. For me the biggest pro factor is the combination with Motion 5, which is a wonderful extension. You can create your own title generators that will cost you a lot in other editors. Apple is still able to make intuitive stuff. GarageBand for iOS is an example. Logic is too. Finalcut is definitely not.
The problem with Final Cut is the MACKYINTOSHY platform & its PRICE DaVnci is Free or in my Case is $299 for life and they thru in a $300 Speed editor. That made DaVinci Studio FREE for life Bro.
💯 DaVinci is fantastic and overall the best in class NLE, and it will only become better over time. FCP is a great entry into editing and post if you getting started and already have a Mac. Thanks for watching and the comment!
@@RafaelLudwig Hey Bro. The best Editor is the one you can GET THE JOB DONE for you.
