    What I've learned from watching this video:
    - option + square brackets to trim the beginning or end of a clip (this will save me thousands of clicks!!)
    - press R, select a range, then in- or decrease the volume with keyframes on this part of the clip, then press A to adjust the keyframes if needed
    - letterbox look (cinematic): adjust the top and bottom crop. Copy and paste effect onto other clips
    - using the search bar to find the same elements (faster than searching and scrolling the timeline)
    - if you assign audio roles, search for that audio role. Select first one, then cmd+A to select them all. Change audio with control and minus or plus key
    - make proxies for faster playback if your pc can't handle the editing: Select all clips in browser window, or file > transcode media > create proxy media + ok. When it's done, go to view and select proxy. Takes time so do this before you start editing. REMEMBER to switch back to optimized/original media before exporting the project!!
    - import xml: add elements that you repeatedly use in your videos (eg intro, outro)

    • @Brad_West

    I can't believe there are so few views! Such a brilliant video!
    However, I can't find a tutorial that would show me how to save time on creating animated images with captions. I tried compound clips. I thought I'd just switch images in my compound clip and all the animation and the size of the image would stay the same, but it didn't work. Replacing with another image wipes out all transitions and I have to adjust the size of that new picture and move it to the initial place.
    Damn, I struggle a lot with that! Hope someone knows how to speed up the process.

    Hi Brad,
    Maybe you can help me with something. Sometimes I’ll click on the timeline, and accidentally drag the mouse down or up, and this somehow separates the timeline. I don’t know how to undo it, or what it even does, so I end up closing FCP and re-opening it, and that sets the timeline back to normal. Can you tell me what I’m accidentally doing, and how to undo it?

      Hey there! It sounds like you might be opening the precision editor by mistake. You would just need to double click on the cut to go back to normal. I talk about the precision editor in this video (point #3): ruclips.net/video/9YEsq_2dJ2Q/видео.html

    • @Brad_West
      @Brad_West  3 года назад

      Hey Marco. That's a really weird error. If I were in your shoes I would probably try one of 3 things (and in this order).
      1. Open a backup of the library from Movies > Final Cut Pro backups and try to export again.
      2. Export an XML of your timeline by going to File > Export XML. Create a new library and import the XML, try again. (An alternative here, export the XML and move the footage to a new location or another drive, that will force you to reconnect the files when you import the XML into your new library).
      3. Trash FCPX preferences. This will reset all your preferences but might solve the glitch. Google how to do it for a step-by-step guide.
      I hope one of these methods work for you. Let me know! 😄
