What course are you going to watch first? 😄
Alternate for fine adjustments to audio levels: Select the clip and hold Control while hitting + or - to adjust the level up or down by 1 dB.
Yeah that's another great way to make small incremental changes 😄👌🏼
very good one. will use it
Didn’t think my mind would actually be blown, but tilde, anchors, crossfade, and zoom shortcuts did! Ty!
You’re welcome Caleb! Glad you found the video helpful 😄🙌🏼
Great tips and thanks for the bonus one!
Sir, yes sir! Glad you found it helpful 🫡👊🏼
Outstanding! More on the tilde key, please. BTW, I love your Skillshare FCPX program
Thanks, will do! Glad you enjoyed that.
Bro....the audio cross fade just changed my life
So glad to hear it. Appreciate the comment 😄👊🏼
My mind is still in tact but 6 were new and 1 I knew already. I’m a hobbyist only, but seeing your video and one other made me realize it’s time for me to invest more time learning additional features of FCPX. Thanks!
Haha! 🤣 I'm glad your mind is still intact but that you still found the video helpful 😄🙌🏼
I didn't know about the tilde.Thanks!
You're welcome!
As always, GREAT tips. Several reminders and several new ones. Thanks, Brad. Terrific job (loved your exploding mind and your interrupted-acting moments!). SWEET! Charlie
I’m really glad you got something out of this video Charlie! Thanks for watching 😄🤙🏼
It's like opening a box of magic tricks, Brad. 🙂 I liked the adjustment of the color wheels and the Inspector Window trick the most. But really, the whole clip is very, very valuable.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Glad you found some value in it Gert-Jan. I actually discovered both of those things by accident a few years ago and I was so excited 😆
Omg. Alt T. Praise the lord 🙏🏼❤️ Thankyou
Haha 😂 You’re welcome Corey!

Cheers
I’m glad they were all new to you and that you learned a few new things 😄🙌🏼
What’s holding you back from updating? Is it your version of MacOS keeping you on 10.4?
Bonus trick blew my mind. Actually all of them did.
I'm so glad to hear that, thanks for watching Dany!
Very useful and clearly presented! Many Thanks 🙏
Thanks for saying that Edward. I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😄🤙🏼

Awesome! I’m glad a bunch of them were new to you Frank! 😄👊🏼
6-8 I knew but never use and appreciate the reminder.

Glad you enjoyed that one Steve! I think a tilde key video is definitely in order 😄👍🏼
Nice one Brad. Very helpful.
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
Thanks! I've worked in FCPX professionally for years, but I learned 6 new tricks!
You can also double tap trackpad to zoom out entire timeline
That’s awesome! I’m so glad to hear that Roy! 😄🙌🏼 Yeah if you have a trackpad, that’s probably the easiest way to zoom out. Thanks for watching 😄👊🏼
Very cool ! Thank you for sharing !
You’re welcome!
Awesome content! Never disappoint 👊🏼🥃

Number 2 is a GAME CHANGER
Glad you enjoyed it Kevin! I use that one all the time 👍🏼

All essential tips 👍 I have most of them hard-wired, but the audio crossfade and tilde-slip are huge, and I’m forcing them into my tired old brain! Thanks!
Haha nice one Bruce! I’m glad there were a few new ones for you. 😄🙌🏼
Learned something new today
I'm so happy to hear that!
FCPX tip #2 works with video as well...which is a HUGE bonus for me. I always have to zoom to a point to get a clip to the right place. Now I just hit that command and use my mouse. Huge saver for me, thanks!
Thanks for watching 😄👊🏼
Thanks very handy tricks!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching Guy 😄🤙🏼
Super helpful.
Thanks Tony! Glad you enjoyed it 😄👊🏼
Really great tips!

Made my day 👏👏👏

Fabulous! I'd be really interested in a Tilde key video.
Thanks Sarah! I will definitely make a video about it. A lot of people seem to be keen 😊🙌🏼
Learned 4, thanks!
Excellent! I'm so glad to hear that!
I only knew 2 of them. Yoooo thank you for sharing!
No problem! I'm glad you learned something new 😄👊🏼
I just started learning FCP and I found your videos. You explain everything so well and I love your examples. I look forward to watching your past videos and future ones as well.
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you found the channel 😄🙌🏼 I hope you enjoy the other videos too!
Please do the Tilda key tutorial! Great stuff as always my friends!
Thanks Sekou! Definitely will do 😄🤙🏼
Thank you Brad, I 4 that i did not know about
Awesome! I’m so glad there were that many that were new to you! 😄🙌🏼
great content bro
Thank you 😄🙏🏼
Magic track pad also has a few cool tricks you can use with gestures as opposed to shortcuts
Yeah I often use the double tap with two fingers gesture to zoom out to see my entire timeline when I’m not using my mouse. What other gestures do you like using?
Mind blown -> new subscriber -> you're awesome.
Thanks so much for the support! 😄🙏🏼
1st one was new to me. Didn't know you could select a mask and move it, or select a group of keyframes and move them.
Really glad you got something out of this video. Appreciate you watching 😄
thank you bro.| you r my master🙏
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! 😄👌🏼
@@Brad_West 🙏
Brad, You are amazing with these short clips about FCPX, but remember You have to sleep sometimes 😉
Haha thanks Mariusz! Does it look like I’m not sleeping? 😆
@@Brad_West Maybe it's just an allergy 🤧
Or it’s just my face 😂
@@Brad_West 😃 BTW Great content! I learned a lot thanks to You.
I’m so happy to hear that. Thanks for watching 😄🙏🏼
I saw alt + in another video but forgot. thanks for reminding me
Awesome! Yeah I use it all the time 😄
Awesome video, even tho I knew everything I would like to see a video about other uses of ~ key
Thanks Joanna. I’ll definitely put a ~ key video together 😄👍🏼
Awesome video, Brad! I seriously had no clue that you could reset the individual parameters of the color wheels by double clicking 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks man! 😄🙌🏼 Yeah it’s such a little thing but once you know it, you can’t stop using it 😂 I discovered that one by accident a while back and I use it all the time.
@@Brad_West That's a great find! Give my best to Donna and the kiddo 🙏🏼
Thanks man! Hope to see you in a few months time! 👊🏼
Yes!! Do a tilde ~ video! :)
I’m on it 😉 🤙🏼
You are aa good person
😄🙏🏼
5:10 very cool
Glad you liked it. I use the audio cross fades on every single edit I do.
Alt+t. Game changer.
Especially for interviews. I use it all the time 😄🤙🏼
you can also DOUBLE TAP YOUR TRACKPAD with 2 fingers to zoom out your timeline.
Yeah if you're on a Macbook that's a great little trick! 😄👊🏼
Niiiice one
Thanks for watching 😄🤙🏼
So nice to be reminded of some of these nice edits. Thank you for sharing. Just one question: are you going to share how you create the 'mind blown' trick in FCP? It would be nice to have a little tutorial. You also have a new subscriber!
Thanks so much for the support! I appreciate that. I can definitely do a tutorial on the mind blown trick 🤯 I’ll add it to my list! 😄👍🏼
@@Brad_West looking forward to it! Currently, I am using FCP as a glorified iMovie application with minimal edits and keeping things simple.
Simple is the way to start and you can build your skills over time. Good luck 😄👊🏼
Спасибо
😄👊🏼
3 фишки мне были не известны, а именно 1,4 и 6. Спасибо большое. 👍
You’re welcome!
Please make a Tilde ~ Video! Would love to see that!
Thanks Shawn 😄 it’s in my list!
Wow, I didn't know any of these!
I’m so glad that they were all new to you and you learned some new tricks 😄🙌🏼
annd a Bonus Bonus , on a macbook, two finger double tap above you time line to zoom out fully
100%! Such a handy little trick 😄👊🏼
greaaaat tips. Tks for that...an dedicated tilde key would be appreciated ;)
Glad you enjoyed it Bhrisha! I’ll definitely do a video on it!
Hey amaizing videos, I'm learning a lot, Could you make a video about how to color grade all the separate clips in once, what I do to one clip got effect in all the clips, please. Thank you.
I've kind of touched on it in other videos before. You could do a few things. You could apply your color grade to an adjustment layer that you put on top of all your clips. Or you could grade one clip and hit Cmd C to copy the effects, select all of the other clips and hit Cmd Shift V to paste those attributes to other clips. Hope that helps! 😄🤞🏼
Would you happen to have a colorful sheet or log to download the cheat sheet?
I don't have a download for these tips, but I do have a 100 Shortcut cheat sheet that might interest you: ruclips.net/video/VjiVYTR5Hp4/видео.html - Link in description of this video. 😄
Amazing video! how did you make your music sounded so good when you're speaking?
Thanks Juan! I use an EQ to filter out the frequencies of the music that would clash with the dialog. You can see how I do it here: ruclips.net/video/X9dFrOo2jbE/видео.html
@@Brad_West Thanks man! that really helped! Cheers!
@@JuanLeonel Awesome! Happy to hear it 😄👊🏼
Great work bro..😊😊
Can you help me how to fix plugins not working in Final Cut Pro X 10..6.1
Thanks! 😄 What plugins aren't working?
Hi Brad! Thanks for your videos. How is the name of the shortcut with the tilde? I'm italian and the italian keybord doesn't have tilde. In the same position i have "Select Left and Right Edges" and the possibility to combine it with "option" to trim to selection. I really need that trick to trim without moving audio!
You can actually assign the tilde key to a different keyboard shortcut. I talk about how to do it on this video: ruclips.net/video/JonW5Zem3ZA/видео.html
Hope that helps! 😄👍🏼
Yeeeeah, it helps! "Override Connections" In italian keyboard seems to be something like the apostrophe, but it doesn't work and I can't understand what is the right key, so i found the name of the command in your video and reassigned a shortcut . Thank you very much!!!
Don't forget the 'H' key to activate a quick HAND tool that you then can use your mouse to grab and move the timeline left and right.
Yeah that’s a handy tool 😉👌🏼
For the 7th trick - why can't I find the backspace button... tried shift + delete but doesn't work... am I missing something? Thanks for the video :)
Shift delete should do the same thing 🤔 Are you using an extended keyboard or MacBook keyboard?
how to add external transition i have seen so much video like go to motion template then transition and add downloaded transition but nothing added to my final cut pro please solve my problem
You might need to localize your folders. This Apple thread should help: discussions.apple.com/thread/8166697
HI,
I just downloaded the free of Motion Blur and follow your instructions and ended with nothing can be abeard on letter T with Red background which means nothing exist in my Transition!
It might not be compatible with your version of FCP. I'd recommend watching my How to Fix the RED “Plugin Not Working” Error video: ruclips.net/video/HHXw2h_Fiq4/видео.html That will probably help you to solve the problem.
💪💪💪
😄🔥💪🏼
Hello there .....Can anyone help ....The space bar bottom of the timeline keeps disappearing while am editing thats the white line at the bottom under your workflow on your timeline that moves you through your work flow .....anyone can help to keep it on please thank you
If you are having issues with the playhead, I would suggest deleting FCP preferences and rebooting FCP, or even reinstalling it. That sounds like a weird bug.
😍😍😍
😄🤙🏼
i forgot how to use the ~ key!!! i was looking for this everywhere
I’m so glad that this was the reminder you were looking for 😄🙌🏼
hi. i'm using a turkish keyboard and there is no tilde hey on the keyboard. (some people mention same issue on german keyboard.) i tried to find the solition about this. the shurtcut name is "override connections". remap it to your convenience in the command editor. thaks for the video:D
Yeah that’s the exact workaround I would recommend if you don’t have a tilde key 😄👊🏼
nice boytjie
Thanks Paul 😄🤙🏼🇿🇦
Tilde Key, say what?!? I would love to know more about this magical key.
Haha 😆 A tilde key video is on my list! 👍🏼
👍🔥🔥🔥
😄🔥
I use fcpX 10.6.3. but tip 6 (alt T 'beep') does not work. also cntr S does not work. tips? thanks!
Do you make use of custom keyboard shortcuts? If you do and you have previously saved a new keyboard, when you update FCP and new shortcuts are added for new features, the old “keyboard” you saved won’t have those shortcuts. You can switch back to the default keyboard to check. Is that it?
@@Brad_West I use the standard keyboard that has not changed for long....
I mean the “custom keyboard” that you set up in preferences to customize keyboard shortcuts, not the physical keyboard itself. If that’s not the case, have you tried resetting FCP preferences?
@@Brad_West no... it's the same; not working. but leave it, it's not so important. thanks for your time!
i knew all of them ... and it's very small things ... no one of them are "blowing mind" ... just small tips . thanks for the video ...
Haha ok, well I'm glad you knew them all. Thanks for watching 😄🙏🏼
The Tilde Key doesn't exist for AZERTY French keyboard (I can create the character by pressing option + N : ~ ... that's all)
I've tried to find "override connections" in the command editor but I don't know where to find it (as my FCPX is in French).
Even if I use the search tool, "override connections" or "~", there is nothing showing-up.
Hope your future video will help your fellow French guys
The only solution found is a to tinker a little bit. I have to lift the main clip from Storyline so the connections are transferred to the Blank clip 😩
Ah that’s quite a tricky one 😂 The only thing I can think of trying is to temporarily change your Mac’s language to English, find the “override connections” command, assign a custom key and then back to French.
I hope that helps 😆🤞🏼
@@Brad_Westthanks. I did that.
So it appears that Frenchies have to use COMMAND < .
“override connections” is called "Remplacer les connexions" but what is weird is that to quit this mod, I have to click outside FCPX (like clicking on the batterie icon on the top right corner) 🤨
That’s so strange. I’m glad you were able to find the right command though.
