Tyler the advice on media management and the practices you use alone are worth gold! I'm going to start implementing them in my FCPX projects. The tips shared here are going to save SO MUCH time!!! THANK YOU 🙏🏼
That range tip for the audio is a game changer! Can't believe I've lived without that all these years. Also had no idea that snapshots and duplicates worked differently under the hood. Thanks for this great video!
The last tip you gave on the audio range selection is going to be huge for my work flow! I spent a lot of time putting in markers to lower or raise the audio. Taking in this video series to update my game! Thanks.
This video should be required for every FCPX user....helped me stay organized and efficiently manage my footage more than any other video I've seen....combined. I'm sure I'm thinking the same thing as everyone else here - I wish I had known these tips since the very beginning. THANK YOU TYLER!!
Tyler this was really valuable video. Last week and last year in general I had all the media storage problem you’ve mention with fcpx. Now, I’ll just sit on my computer and copy step by step what you did and I’ll forget about it. Thank you. O yea, I love the colors that you’re seen the world in.
Just want to say that this video has absolutely CHANGED my workflow. Seriously Tyler, I can't believe how much this video has helped me out. You are seriously incredible.
Great video. One point to add with deleting cache if you would still rather have the convenience of keeping them in your Library: Inside FCP, you can select your library and go to File, Delete Generated Library Files and you can remove from there. A bit more hidden but still keeps everything together. :)
The reason I like to delete form the finder is so that I don’t need to launch Final Cut. Often I’ll just go through all my recent completed projects and want to quickly clear them out
@@stalman thanks for the reply. Something I’ve discovered since writing the above: after I moved my cache externally I found that my Mac would drop frames when playing back (it’s the current 16 inch). When I moved the cache back, it no longer does that. Interesting. Just FYI if you experience that. 😀
@@SuitcaseMonkey Maybe it's because of your external drive's speed? What drive are you using? I'm planning to buy a portable SSD soon and I find Tyler's tips very useful. But if this is the problem then I'll have to dig deeper to find out.
Very good video! I‘ve struggled so hard with my organisation in the past and thats why my mac was full all the time… This is the first Fcpx Tipps Video I‘ve watched which taught me how I can organise my lybaries and files so that I have enough space to move in my computer Thank you
I have watched this video so many times, and it's so helpful! Thank you for breaking this down as straightforward as possible. I always refer back to this when starting back up with FCP. Favoriting your footage is a game-changer for editing - it's already saved me so much time. Thank you for sharing all of this valuable information, Tyler!
One tip is that if you need to send projects to an editor somewhere else. Place your full res files in an external folder, as you did on here, set the storage locations of everything to “library” (opposite of what you did here), and when importing the footage, select, leave files in place, but also select “create proxy files”. That way, when you send the project (library) to the editor, your only sending the proxy files. Often for me makes a 30GB project around 1GB. Also when the editor is done he only needs to send the project back with no media, so it’s only a few Mb. Super fast. Hope this makes sense.
Lots of good stuff here. I've created compound clips after I'd done the bulk of the work. Never thought to do the base editing with one. Interesting concept as it lets you leave decisions like master adjustments till later. NOT CREATING AN EVENT FIRST? Waaaa? If you didn't create the event first in FCP7 and earlier you'd be dead. Old habits die hard. The one great trick I just learned is to use an adjustment layer for closeups. I wished I'd known that years ago.
I'm just starting to take RUclips seriously, and I've just started with a raw vlog without any kind of editing. It's until I get the ball rolling and start to learn on the go. This video is a gem. Thank you!
One of the first videos I've actually stopped, went to get a pen to take notes then watched at 0.75 in places so as not to miss anything! The library folder in a root folder idea, Alt+[ Alt+ ], favouriting sections of clips, snapshot saving and even audio ducking using the range option... I know that I will now use every single one of these in my workflow. Tyler, if you're ever in central Scotland, I owe you a beer👍🏻
Confession time...I wasn't using the ripple cut and mannnnn I've already saved time. Love the point about keywords and organization as well. Subscribed!
I purchased you Log 3 lit and used on my R5 with a Ninja V and the image was incredible SOOC. I was filming border collies in a lush green grass field. The results without any adjustments were spectacular! Thank you very much! Great job!
I just got my new M1. I'm coming over from Adobe to avoid the subscriptions and to avoid installing Adobe on my M1. The cache tip is gold. Thank you! Been s subscriber for a while. Thanks for the helpful content.
🤯 Why did I never think to change where to cache files are going?! I have also been using Premiere Pro for the last couple of years because I hated FCP filing system. I'm so glad I found this video!
Wow!!! Thanks. Best video I ever watched for fcpx. I was watching your videos a week now but I subscribed to channel. The shortcuts was amazing I hope you do one more video about shortcuts.
Just great to have found this video , been editing for 3 years with FCPX and still learning with you …I have join your channel to discover more eventually. Thanks so much 🙏 Serge From Hélène & Serge channel H&S 👩❤️👨🌈🇨🇦
I use FCP quite a bit and what I learned new in this video was the favourites tip and making a compound clip for longer A roll so you can global change later. I knew about both functions before, but not in this context. My contribution is to customise the 'B' key to blade tool (without command), do the same for left right brackets (as you've already done), 'Z' to direct zoom all in, '+', '-' to direct zoom in and out and so on and so forth. All the stuff you use a lot, make it a direct key. Speeds up everything wonderfully! Great video buddy!
These are pure gold! I feel like editing is my weakest skill. These are so practical and logical - great stuff, excellently presented (as always). Keep up the great work.
If this video has taught me anything, it’s that I know enough to know that I don’t know at all. 😂 ima have to play this video in slow-mo. There’s so much to learn geez it’s overwhelming. But thank you for taking the time to go over this! And for those of you who don’t know Apple support can walk you through Final Cut Pro by screen share. I abuse them with phone calls. Happy editing everyone!
This URL should be baked into FCPX when you first open it then it plays this video. I've been using for years but still learned a few things to speed up my workflow.
Great video. One thing you missed that I use a good bit is when I want to archive, I’ll export the XML file. It’s essentially a blueprint of your edit. That way I don’t have keep the project or library files. If for some reason I ever needed to go back I can import the footage and the XML and it will link it all back. Also a good way to share with an editor.
These are fantastic tips, aimed for some obscure reason at me personally and very effectively. So many shortcut tutorials out there on FCPX but I think I took detailed notes on 8 out of 10. All real time savers, thanks Tyler.
So, so good. Going to go back and watch the library/file management section again. The one thing I still can't figure out if I'm doing OK'ish or terribly badly!
Thank you so much for these great tips. The one on storage location really helped me a lot. Leaving media in folders instead of in library saves a lot of space. Last week fcpx was slowing down on my Mac. Since I followed your advice, the problem was gone! Now when I am done with a project, I deleted cache folder and proxy media, optimized media and my computer space is back!
14:37 I am SHOOK. For voiceover bits, I had been using ⌘B to separate clips when I wanted to play the actual voiceover then just dropped the music but it always sounded abrupt. And now I learned about RANGE?!? And...then....I learned how I can use just "R" to target a set clip over the voiceover in one fell swoop?!?! - drop the mic - 🎤💯 MAHALO! (Thank you!) 🌺☀️🙏🏼
I never knew about the Snapshot Project feature - that would've saved me so much time of breaking apart compound clips just to make new ones. Super informative video, as always!!
Maaaaaaaannn you just don’t know how many years you just added onto the end of my life with these tips! These are game changing tips. Do you have have videos talking about your c200 raw import / color grading workflow?
I’ve always wanted to do that video but sold my c200 before I got to it. But basically I loaded all the raw into resolve while it was on the card, added my lut, bought down exposure about 1 stop, and transcoded everything to ProRes 422 LT. Then deleted the raws
I learned a few new things! I didn't know about the difference between duplicate project and snapshot projects. Also, such a smart idea to send some of the favorite clips to compressor to archive. Also, the idea to save the cache location in the root folder is genius. Lots of gold nuggets here! Thanks for this!
The range tool is essential for quick audio keyframes, but it's also great for deleting dead air and unwanted sections from a long take - just drag with the range tool, then delete with backspace. Even faster than trimming with the bracket keys (but a bit less precise - great for a first pass).

Oh man, I've been editing on FCP for so much years but there is some cool tips that I didn't know it (favorites, for example). Thank you!
I’ve used FCPX for years and I think I learned more in this video than any other tutorial I’ve watched. Awesome video!!
This was the first actually useful FCP video I've encountered.
One of my favorite tips is to custom set your keyboard shortcuts for slowing clips down. For example: I set shift+5 to make a clips 50% speed✨
Tyler the advice on media management and the practices you use alone are worth gold! I'm going to start implementing them in my FCPX projects. The tips shared here are going to save SO MUCH time!!! THANK YOU 🙏🏼
Dude, the compound clip for easier color/exposure corrections is huge. Thanks so much for putting this together.
You are right you do have some great tips. Your work flow is on the money very well organize for the best efficiency! Thank you!
I just paid for the Pro Apps bundle for education and really needed this. You’re the best, Tyler.
That is the best deal ever!
That range tool for audio tip... THANK YOU! It was the tip I didn't know I needed!
Thanks Tyler! Using the Range Tool for Audio is a total gamebreaker for me!

Blown away. How did I miss so many essential tips!? thank you!

Dragging from the top corners of audio clips to create an even fade out or in :) , great video
This is possibly one of the best Final Cut tutorials I’ve ever watched here on RUclips! 🔥
I saw your video today and immediately started using the ramp.. so cool to keep learning new stuff.. makes life interesting! Thanks brother.
Okay, I'm editing videos for years now and this change my editing completely. Thank you!
Man, I've been doing so many things wrong. Time to give this RUclips thing a try - finally ;) Thanks!
Thank you for sharing the great short cuts and appreciate learning how to better manage my projects
It brings me such joy to see the Sennheiser 416 being used here for your VO.... Pro move 👍

Picked up the tip of in out, selecting and inserting favorite B-Roll clips. Great video!
one library per project changed my life, especially when it comes to storage amounts! good stuff here!
I just switched back to FCP, I haven't used it regularly since 2015. This video was super helpful!
The Cache trick alone is worth the like. Thank you.
This URL should be baked into FCPX when you first open it then it plays this video. I've been using for years but still learned a few things to speed up my workflow.
The 'Range' and dropping the audio track - amazing!
Thank you. I'll slowly implement this into my workflow.
Another great tip that helped me save time when cutting my A-Roll is to playback the clips at 2x speed by hitting space + L. You are welcome 😉
Being a FCPX user for years I have learned a lot from this. THANK YOU!
Great video. One thing you missed that I use a good bit is when I want to archive, I’ll export the XML file. It’s essentially a blueprint of your edit.

Super Helpful, just getting into FCPX from Premiere and these shortcuts will come big time handy.
Super helpful as usual, especially the b-roll to Compressor tip - thanks Tyler 🙏
omg the last tip!! this is going to save me sooooooooo much time! all the tips were great, thanks for this video!
Great tips! Thank you! Very informative and easy to follow!
Incredibly helpful even for someone who’s been editing FCPX for so long now! Thank you!

Very sensible tips. Yes, you were right. I will start using them now

Moving from Adobe to FCPX....realizing how much more efficient certain tasks are in FCPX
This was great. I'm new to FCP and this was by far the most useful tips/tutorial video I've seen (and I've seen quite a few). Thank you!
