Hands down the BEST video tutorial for FCP for beginners! Quick, detailed, clear, and most essential aspects described in a most efficient way. Million thanks! Subscribed.
Despite having used final cut Pro for several years, I decided to watch this video and 20 minutes in I have learned a number of new things. Sometimes it is fantastic to go back to basics. I'm sure others new and seasoned to FPC will very much appreciate this tutorial. i joined your patreon recently and have found it to be amazing.. Thank you!!
Dylan , thank you so much for making this video , I've just after eight years or so, come back too Final Cut Pro for producing-editing Music videos , so much has changed and improved in that time, you have completly taken the anxiety away of jumping back in !
Nice! I just bought FCP today and while I can put together a video, there’s much I didn’t understand. And you helped clear up quite a few of my questions. Many thanks, and I’ll subscribe. Gosh, a clear explanation, who’d have thunk.
Hi Dylan. I have been laboring on Adobe Pro and have had modest success with Adobe Rush. Also, Davinci Resolve is supposed to be very powerful. I have not delved into it yet and after watching your video, I am wondering if I should even bother. Not only does Final Cut seem extremely intuitive as most Apple products do but your delivery and attention to detail along with your energy is contagious. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for jumping right in to the content of the video instead of marketing your own channel! I gave a thumbs up and now am a sub! Thanks for your solid content, dude!
Great tutorial. Have been a user for many years but it is always good to have a refresher course. Love how you packed so much information into a short tutorial. Thanks again.
Great refresher Dylan. I've been using FCP for a couple years now and I found this useful. Keep it coming! Video idea for you - I'd love to see your editing work flow
i tried a whole bunch of other "introductory" videos, and none of them were any good at all... this one is EXCELLENT!!!!!. I couldn't get the color board function to work the way you describe it, but i found a different way to handle that. But again, this is excellent, and has been enormously helpful!!!!! thank you so much.,
Your Video is the best one for Final Cut Pro for beginners.You presented it very clear cut way, covered the most essential aspects in an efficient manner in less time. After searching a lot of videos for FCP in RUclips , your video settled the matter. You are highly intelligent. A lot of thanks ! You won a subscriber.
There are ALWAYS things I don't know (or have forgotten) and so this video has been most useful. Also copied to my grandson who is just starting out with video. Keeping it in the family! Very many thanks for all your hard work and the whole of Scotland wishes you a Happy New Year.
Excellent and comprehensive video though it left me breathless . . . I don't know about you! I just about managed to keep up with it but I have been using FCP X since its inception in 2011. I would suggest that beginners need to be adept at pausing and rewinding. You have certainly covered a tremendous amount of the essential procedures.
been wanting to make the move and add fcp to my editing skills but the different lingo is off-putting. This video has explained everything I needed to know. Amazing work and massive thank you Dylan 👌
@@TheFinalCutBro I need to start my podcasts but I don't know how to edit them kindly let me know which course should I pick you have 4 which one for me.
I’m embarrassed that I’ve used FCPX for like three years now and always struggled with comprehending library and events. Your library and book analogy finally made it click for me! Just needed it in terms a nerd like me understands I guess! Great video!
I'm a windows guy myself but use a mac mini for music on the side and am finally learning final cut. Great video, but I think something that should be pointed out that I noticed is that changing the Format when exporting also changes the file type. Video and Audio is .mov, Apple Devices is .m4v, etc. Really helpful video!
Dude ... I make talking head vids and have literally never used the color board before 😅 I'm not a beginner on FCP but this video was still worth watching. Thanks
Hi Dylan - You are making helpful videos and I appreciate them. I could use some information on LUTs if you have time. My videos out of the camera are pretty flat.
Great video Dylan. As a beginner I have messed up my audio track with (maybe Edit points). The easiest way for me to fix it was to re-import a new audio track, which I have done, but how do I mute the previous audio track? It appears the CMD's have changed for this!
@Dylan Bates: Seriously, THANK YOU for this video. It has helped me out a TON. I have subscribed and look forward to learning more from you! I will be directing people to here if they ask me where to learn the basics of FInal Cut Pro!
Hey Dylan, thanks for all the training, and keep up the good work. I have a question. Is there a way to rearrange the way that my plug-ins show up in the Titles? I want to rearrange my Motion VFX plug-ins so that the ones I use all the time will be on top, and maybe rearrange all of the ones I use all the time to be on top. I think I can rename them, but I don't want to break anything, or set off any alarms, as if I am tampering with the plug-ins. Thanks for your help.
Great tutorial. If you still answer on this channel, can you help with the following: no matter what I try - optimized files, proxies - neither clips from the browser nor the timeline will show in the Viewer. Looking for a workaround, I happened to click on the down arrow to the right of the Library / Project name right under the Viewer and selected Reveal Project in Browser. The timeline suddenly appears in the Viewer for half a second, then vanishes and the Viewer goes back to its dark background. Mac OS: Sequoia, FCP 10.8.1. Thanks.
Great tutorial, thanks a lot. Quick. question: If I import my footage by dragging the folder from the Finder into FCPX, will all files be copied into the library? Or will they be left in place? When I import the files via the import button I have the option copy everything into the library or leave them in place.
was also completely unable to import my clips by either of the two methods you show. the only way i've been able to do it is to drag and drop onto my timeline.
Can I ask a grading q? My footage from R5C comes in as MXF files which are LOADS nicer than the standard .MOVs I get from my 5Div. I am used to being able to easily match grades in Premiere and also use FilmConvert but wondering whether there's another way as playing aorund with the colour effects doesn't get it close. On the plus, I can't believe how gorgeous the R5C footage looks in FCP off the bat!
Hi, excellent video for beginners, I apreciatte your efforts.I have a problem with multicam editing.Maybe you can help me. I need to create a multicam project.I filmed with 3 cameras but I don't have only 3 tracks because of various causes 2 cameras stoped filming.I pressed again the record button but I lost seconds from each camera and now I have two clips from first camera, three from second and one complete clip from third camera.How can I create a multicam of 3 tracks but 6 clips.Kind regards
Great video. A question: In new project settings, the rendering option is selected Prores 422. Does this option affect the export quality of the project? I'm using 10bit XAVC footage and shooting in LOG. Thank you

Dude ... I make talking head vids and have literally never used the color board before 😅 I'm not a beginner on FCP but this video was still worth watching. Thanks
Hah that’s amazing! You must just nail the colors in camera as a good filmmaker should. 👊👊
I joined your Patreon yesterday and purchased Motion Tools. Thanks for all that you do for the community. Your efforts are indeed appreciated.
Appreciate you so much! Lots more patreon stuff coming soon, as a ramp up after the holidays.
