Great video, as always! Little tip (1:08): Holding the Alt-key while clicking on a clip let the timeline-cursor immediately jump to the position of the mouse-cursor.
Thanks for the Video, I learned a lot and I appreciate your sense of humor. I waited until the end of your video to comment so it would not be a premature comment on the preset stuff.
Great explanation! I need to start using presets! Different topic but have you done a video on how to store something you've created in FCPX for later use. Like an intro or text effect? Should it be stored outside of FCP as a project and then imported on new projects?
That’s a good question- I haven’t made a video on that. For repeated assets like my title, I just save them as an exported movie file, but for something like a template that you’d want to adjust/modify later I’d recommend creating a new library that’s only for those things (possible on an external disk if you need to save space).
Hey Tom. another great video as usual. I have a final cut question. I currently edit with a folder with all my files on an external 4GBSSD, and then my final cut pro event on the same SSD. i edit then export to my desktop. is it faster rendering if all the files are just on my desktop?
At this point, I'm really not sure if I come for the jokes and stay for the tips or vice versa. It doesn't matter because I'm loving both. Thanks for this vid!
That's a really great question and I'm not 100% sure. I'm also late to the game when it comes to adjustment layers, but you should be able to save any adjustment settings as a preset and then add that to new layers in the future.
Yep I was right definitely the RUclips King of Dad Jokes 😂. Thanks for that I was really in toe that info. I really need to start doing presets and Adjustment Layers??? We didn’t have that in Final Cut Pro 3 when I got started. 😆 On an unrelated note. I just got the M1 Mac Mini because of all that talking you had been doing about it. GREAT stuff!
I'm glad you're liking the computer and thanks for the kind words! I personally still need to get on the adjustment layer train. I'm still not utilizing them in the way that I probably should.
@@tombuck yeah I think maybe part of it is the editing we do as creators with this style is so simple the simple old school ways just work, but I’m always willing to try and learn some new tricks.
Boy, there's aLUT of stuff in this video to PROcess as I consider my FINAL CUTS before my video PREMIEREs. Anywayyyyyy... yay for presets! Huge time saver and consistency aid when using clips with relatively static lighting, framing and camera gear. Thanks for sharing another informative and fun video!
It’s PRE SET, you will for sure get a LUT more subscribers 👍 EDIT: just saw that @Hugh Jeffreys made that very same comment just before… well I guess it means we both agree on the FINAL CUT…
Final cut pro is so expensive but I would love to buy it one day I recently switched from imovie to wondershare filmora which is alot better and you get enough options for free
Filmora is super cool! Final Cut is pricey, but it's a one time purchase and definitely worth it. I bought my license in 2012 and still get every update/am able to install it on any computer that's using my Apple ID. Pretty awesome 👍
Will any effects I have on the clip get saved to the preset, say I have a lut applied and then some color adjustments, if I save a preset, will the lut effect get saved?
Nice tutorial, See if you only use 1 camera manufacturer you don't have to do that extra work! The one thing I really like about your look is how 'bright' way too many youtuber our on the dark side! FYI - California is going to start taxing "Puns" and well I'm ok with that! LOL
"You cant spell custom without Tom" I think we found the best pun yet! "Pre-School" the newest Tom Buck Course all about presets? I should really start using presets, the only thing left for me to do in editing would be the assembly cuts in final cut pro, yo...
Holy crap… why didn’t i think of making a presets for my stupid images I “zoom” in. It’s like… I only do this once per video, but it’s been like 50 videos 😬. PS: I DID IT. i got the canon R5 (Can i join the cool kid club? Or a7siii only kids invited?)

You deserve a LUT more subscribers. :)
Thank you Hugh!
Agreed!!!

THANK YOU! It absolutely makes my day to hear this. 🙏
You earned my like for the consistently horrible jokes and puns 🤣🤣 happy new years and more blessings 🙏🎉🎊

*Thank You - You're a Lifesaver* Could have learned this 10 years ago 😅
Really nice explainer. Great to see how you used it in your workflow. Thanks!
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
haha I wish so bad you had added crickets chirping when you made the PREschool joke and just stared at the lens. 😂
I did once tell a joke where a cricket really did start chirping afterwards. It was not great for my self esteem.
@@tombuck hahaha oh no..
Great video, as always! Little tip (1:08): Holding the Alt-key while clicking on a clip let the timeline-cursor immediately jump to the position of the mouse-cursor.
Sweet, thank you for that!
I'd attend your "Pre-School" 😆 I know for a fact I would learn and be entertained at the same time!
Haha, I love it. Thank you 🙏
Super informative and so easy to follow along. Love your puns and humor, anyone would think you are British :)
Haha, thank you! I do believe there's some Britishness in my genealogy. 😁
@@tombuck Mine too :)
Oh the puns. Love them. Thanks for the smiles and the info this morning.
You’re welcome! 👍😁
There are a LUT of puns
Thanks for the Video, I learned a lot and I appreciate your sense of humor. I waited until the end of your video to comment so it would not be a premature comment on the preset stuff.
Ha, thank you! I've definitely left comments too early only to have them answered by the end of the video 🤦🏻♂️

This vid is loaded with good tips. Well done.
Thanks Preston! Hope you guys are doing good.

Hey Tom, thanks so much for this video! I asked you how to match a7siii to eos r and you did this one. 🙏🏻
It hasn't been too tough overall!
At this point, I'm really not sure if I come for the jokes and stay for the tips or vice versa. It doesn't matter because I'm loving both. Thanks for this vid!
I happy either way 😁
I was reaching for my coffee during the intro and couldn’t click thru. So I stayed. Will FCPX apply presets thru adjustment layers to all clips below?
That's a really great question and I'm not 100% sure. I'm also late to the game when it comes to adjustment layers, but you should be able to save any adjustment settings as a preset and then add that to new layers in the future.

Ye-, it’s easy to just keep a workflow a certain way because “that’s how I’ve always done it”.

I'm wondering how many drafts these comments go through to get all the wordplay just right 😁
But it's much appreciated!
@@tombuck It either happens right away, or I just bag it. Lol.
It’s PRE SET, you will for sure get a LUT more subscribers 👍
EDIT: just saw that @Hugh Jeffreys made that very same comment just before… well I guess it means we both agree on the FINAL CUT…
If Hugh and you agree, then I'm on the right track 👍
You are AMAZING Man--Thank you !!!!!!!
Thank you! Really happy this was helpful 🙏
When you state that you are shooting with the Picture Profile set to the default mode, do you mean PP OFF?
Yeah, so I guess technically that's no picture profile.
Wow!!! Where did you find the blue pop filter for the SM7B????
Reporterstore.com 😎
I don't have the time to rate all the puns, but the 6:40 made me laugh hard
And that's all that matters! We can just call the others all 11/10 😁
Tom’s really pun-tastic!
Final cut pro is so expensive but I would love to buy it one day I recently switched from imovie to wondershare filmora which is alot better and you get enough options for free

Will any effects I have on the clip get saved to the preset, say I have a lut applied and then some color adjustments, if I save a preset, will the lut effect get saved?
It SHOULD- the key word there being “should” 😬
Where dis you get That funky pop filter?
It’s from reporterstore.com 👍
thanks
Great video. I appreciate the great information and terrible Dad jokes. 👍
Hey Tom what’s the easiest way to delete custom presets that one may not use anymore?
If you right click on them and select "Reveal In Finder" it'll open up the folder and you can just delete whatever you don't need.
@@tombuck ah okay. Thanks brother! And Merry Christmas to you and your family!
This is awesome
Thanks!
Thank for the Video Tom, Unfortunately I use Premiere Pro but appreciate the video. Blessings
Ahh, well the basic adjustments are pretty simple, so you should be able to create a preset in Premiere pretty easily.
Nice tutorial, See if you only use 1 camera manufacturer you don't have to do that extra work! The one thing I really like about your look is how 'bright' way too many youtuber our on the dark side! FYI - California is going to start taxing "Puns" and well I'm ok with that! LOL
I think puns are the only thing we're not taxed on at this point 😉
The puns just don’t stop lol
In the words of Abraham Lincoln, "Can't stop, won't stop."
"You cant spell custom without Tom" I think we found the best pun yet! "Pre-School" the newest Tom Buck Course all about presets? I should really start using presets, the only thing left for me to do in editing would be the assembly cuts in final cut pro, yo...
They REALLY help speed things up. I'm sorry it took like 7 years before I started using them.
I'm cutting the crust off my PB&J, getting ready for pre-school...
Be sure to cut the slices diagnoally!
I heard that if you mirror your camera, crop and change its perspective, you can fake having a multicam setup
Yes definitely! Especially if you're using a higher res camera that doesn't lose quality when cropping in.
Holy crap… why didn’t i think of making a presets for my stupid images I “zoom” in. It’s like… I only do this once per video, but it’s been like 50 videos 😬.
PS: I DID IT. i got the canon R5 (Can i join the cool kid club? Or a7siii only kids invited?)
You’re a founder of the cool kids club! But I hope you like the new camera!
@@tombuck it's pretty amazing! Freakishly awesome video image (but, I do got a ninja V).
thank u
Your pop filter just blue me away
Hmm....then what is the difference between S-Log and S-Lut?
😳
Do one for Premiere Pro?
I’m not a Premiere user, but I’d wager someone out there has some good presets 👍
