Thanks, I use a majority but there were several that I will *_def_* add to my workflow. Another that I'd like to suggest is "F", to make the select area a "Favorite". When I first go through all my footage I use "I" and "O" to select the good clips that I might use and then I hit "F" to make it a "Favorite". After going through all my footage I can choose to show only the clips marked as "Favorite".
Nice collection of shortcuts, in addition to your list I like using cmd+T for a quick dissolve, ctl+T for a basic title and opt+cmd E for for the default audio effect. I have the audio shortcut set to compressor(default) and limiter(-3db), this helps a lot to cleanup my run and gun videos!
It's a built in short cut in v 10.3.2. Just right click any audio effect and you get the option to 'Make default audio effect'. I use audio effects together all the time for dialogue, (compressor, limiter and less bass) and was quite pleased to find the 'save effects preset' at the bottom of the inspector window. I made a custom 'compressor+limiter' effect for my go to audio default. BTW I'm quite impressed with the many FCPX audio fixes I've found. (I use a sony AX53 with the Rode Videomicro and Canon GX7 II). If the speech is too soft I've got seven compression levels available in the Inspector, four just for voice, (compressor>default>voice>pick your favorite) I made two custom presets I call 'MaxVoice' and 'SemiMaxVoice' I use in addition to the default setting. The Audio Analysis tool in the inspector works great for 60Hz hum removal and the noise removal works nicely when you adjust the 50% default value. Of course getting good audio is paramount(the AX53 with the small Rode is way better than the GX7) but all the goodies in FCPX make it all sound so much better!
THANKS FOR THE USEFUL SHORTCUTS, I GOT TO LEARN SOME NEW ONES FROM THE COMMENTS TOO!! MY FAV ARE ALWAYS THE CMD 6 AND CMD 7 FOR THE COLOR BOARD AND SCOPES RESPECTIVELY.
Great, helpful video! I use a lot of these myself, but picked up some new ones here when trying to find a video on shortcuts to share with my husband. Top notch info, great job! Easily earned a sub from me, even though I’ve been hiding FCPX for ~2.5 years.
Recently found you & subbed...love your straightforward to the point presentations. Thanks! Screenshot at 4:16 now lives on my desktop...;-)) (PS - I'll add #16. ⇧ cmd Z - Redo)
Your tutorials are so damn good! I came here hoping to figure out how to easily cut select footage in the browser... and 35 SECONDS LATER, I was listening to the answer! Wow - thanks
Thank you Serge for this awesome tutorial!! Is there a way to remove a keyword that's not in my keyword list anymore but, keeps showing up in my left Library window? Thanks again! 👍😊
One of my first videos on my channel explains what you’re asking about. I️ think the title is “Optimized/Proxy Media Explained”. It might be a little dated, but check it out. And I️ will try and get a more current video done in the new year
Makeup with Naya , That’s exactly what I’ve been saying, I’ve also been saying that my bro here should have hundreds of thousands subscribers... It’s unbelievable how some brainless channels on RUclips have millions of subscribers, but whatever I don’t get it. Thanks!
Very helpful video thx ! Question is there any way we can zoom in and out of the timeline with the apple WRLS mouse? With the mouse we can scroll left to right ,right to left on the timeline however you can't zoom in and out which becomes time consuming with keyboard shortcuts .
I don't have the mouse with me now but I think that it is feasible, try cmd + scrolling on the mouse(maybe with one or two fingers), the Trackpad is definitely better for that ;)
Thank you Serge for the great time saving tips. Do you know by any chance why some (not all) major shortcuts suddenly stop working for now reason and when I press them, I get the Mac error sound? Then they will suddenly start working again. I've tried to search the internet for the answer but can't find the solution :(
in my vid, there is some white outline inside there is a red box thing that if i move the red box, it moves the image thats on the screen, how do i fix it?
Hi LPTGuy, this helped me a lot. Another vital one I need you to help me with or from anyone who can assist. How to move a connector to another position within a clip without moving either both clips connected. Let say this title connects to a wrong clip and I want it to connect to the following clip without moving this title position. Please help with a command.
+mphikeleli cebekhulu Hold down Command and Option keys and click on the connected clip. Your connection point will move to where you clicked. Hope this helps
where is the "history panel" so that you can go back step by step of ALL last actions? CMD+z doesnt always work! Eg i was working on an mO2 project in fcpx where there is an instancer as a wall. I did something (i dont know what) and the wall disappeared. Hitting cmd+z undoes other actions but doesn't just go back in time to undo whatever it is that was done. So maybe if there's a history panel i can just click to go to the last time-point where the instancer wall was there. What strange and annoying behavior is this undo command in fcpx. Undo should just undo..
Hey Serge, the video was very helpful. I am a beginner and I am struggling with delete ing a clip I cut as I am using Mac book. please do suggest me the delete option. Thanks in advance.
The fact that he summarized all the shortcuts makes this video the best I've seen so far! Short and sweet

Favoriting clips with F is a huge time saver. Thanks for sharing
Great video. Happy to see that I am already using most of these frequently

+Gary Hauptli I also use these shortcuts, just not as much as the others. But Opt+Cmd+E is new to me. Is it a custom shortcut you created?

SERGE, YOU ARE AWESOME...
All useful stuff - what I really would like is hotkey to move from start or end of clip.
Use up and down arrows. That will move to the next or previous edit.
Love these videos! I’ve been watching them all! You’re amazing and I’m learning so much. Newbie to FCP X new subscriber!
Thanks for subscribing! If there’s anything in particular you would like to learn, please let me know
LPTGuy Maybe explaining libraries, events, projects. Mine are all a mess I’m all over the place.

Thanks. Happy to have you as a sub!
Any shortcut for jumping playhead to the end of project?
Nice video Serge, I have a quick question. I have a few custom Workspaces created & saved. How can I add a keyboard shortcut to them?
thank you
very helpful! thank you!
Is there a way to add a shortcut for the Stabilization option???
Doesn't seem like it lets you customize it.
Great stuff and thanks!
You’re welcome. Make sure you download the free keyboard shortcut PDF linked in the description
LPTGuy I missed that, thanks a lot!
Tq sir..
good stuff
thank you nd love you sir
command z ftw!!!
how do you skip muted clips during playback?
in my vid, there is some white outline inside there is a red box thing that if i move the red box, it moves the image thats on the screen, how do i fix it?
You’re zoomed in on your viewer. Select fit from the drop down menu at the top of the viewer window
@@Serge1913 thanks man, it worked
Cheers
I think there's only 99 instances of undo in final cut pro, not sure about unlimited.
Perfect-Τέλειο!!!!!
Very useful shortcuts! Thanks :) Your voice audio is a bit scratchy though, would be great if that sounded a bit better. Either way, great job!
Thanks Waarom vind ik bijna nergens iets voor de sneltoetsen van FCPx
