    I teamed up with the one and only @Dylan John on this Final Cut Pro tutorial so that we could bring you 10 shortcuts that every FCP editor should know. If you're not already using shortcuts when you edit, then implementing shortcuts into your workflow is a sure-fire way to speed up your editing.
    If you already use shortcuts, you may know some of these, but I'm pretty sure there will be at least one shortcut (hopefully more) that you didn't know.
    If you would like to learn more shortcuts, go ahead and watch my '41 FCPX Shortcuts to Speed Up your Workflow' video 👉🏼 • 41 FCPX Shortcuts to S...

    Another great video! I know a few of these, but there were lots of new ones. One my favorite shortcuts which I have never seen mentioned anywhere (and which I discovered entirely by accident and use quite frequently now) is pressing the Q key on the keyboard to quickly drop a highlighted title, generator effect, sound effect, or clip from the library, at the location of the playhead on the timeline. Quite the timesaver! Keep up the great work!

    Mind blowing to see all these shortcuts. what are the purple and white dots above the frames in the timeline?

    • @Brad_West
      @Brad_West  Год назад

      I’m so glad you enjoyed this video. The white dots above the timeline represents areas of the timeline that need to be rendered. If you have background rendering, turned on these probably get rendered and disappear before you notice them, however, I always choose to turn background rendering off.

    Repetition is key to learning and muscle memory. Similar to learning vocabulary with flash cards, list these shortcuts on a notecard and then go through them on a sample edit each day for a week or so until they become natural to use.

      If your two music tracks snap to each other, you can select the cut between them and hit Cmd + T to create a cross dissolve. If not you can select the end of the first track and hit Cmd + T and then click on the beginning of the second track and repeat. Alternatively, you can drag the little handles on the ends of the music clips to fade in and out. Hope that helps 😊🤙🏼

    Hi I am facing one problem. My Raw footage size is 10ti 15 Gb.Resolustion 1920x1080 25 frames. When I completed editing.Rendering also done. My Final output settings is H.264 mp4. My problem is this project fcpx library render size also increases. That so heavy 😪. For example My raw footage size 10 Gb. My Final out size is 3 to 4 gb. But my library size is 30 to 40 gb increases. Why? How to clear this problem. Do you have any idea 💡 please example me.

    • @Brad_West
      @Brad_West  2 года назад +1

      Hey there. Your library file size increases due to render files. You can clear them by clicking on your library file in FCP and then heading over to File > Delete Generated Library Files.
      To stop this happening in future, I would recommend turning Background Rendering off in your preferences 😊👍🏼
