Honestly, Jaime - that alone makes it totally worth it. This thumbnail doesn't have the click-through-rate I was hoping for, but the fact that so many of you are commenting on it means I know I made the right choice. Glad it got a good LOL out of you to start your TH-cam viewing for the day!
Oh yeah. On my 14" MacBook Pro I customized them to just [ and ] On my desktop I use Stream Deck Mobile to make those shortcuts just the push of a button. 🤘🏻🙌🏻
This was useful and very well presented. Two things that make FCP very frustrating for me (well, besides having to use audio roles, while fairly robust, where a mixer would be far more intuitive, and the stupid export options, and how dependent it can be on plugins and additional layers like CommandPost, and the lack of native collaboration, and the annoying project hierarchy, and the heavy handed-ugh, I'll just stop here), are the fact that the playhead doesn't move with the timeline and the fact that waveforms and clip previews stop rendering during playback. If you have workarounds for these issues I'd love to hear them.
Ohhh I'm right there with you on those last two, Gilbert. I complain about it extensively in my last livestream where I'm live-editing in FCP. CommandPost will let you create a scrolling timeline, but I don't know that there's anything that will make it so the waveforms are always visible no matter what you're doing. It is endlessly frustrating that Final Cut Pro can do so much, be so powerful ... yet cannot show waveforms no matter what.
That's because of your first video that I learn loving the magnetic timeline. After now a year of using it regularly, I cannot imagine a world without it :D
Glad you've been a part of the channel long enough to have seen the original Magnetic Timeline vid, Robin! I'm hoping this new one connects with all the new subscribers and POTENTIAL new subscribers. And I agree - can't imagine a life without the Magnetic Timeline. 🧲🎞
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS 😩 I was just hooking up with the magnetic timeline earlier today! I hope this doesn't create a gap in our friendship, Matthew. Amazing amazing tutorial, brotha! Fantastic point that audio lanes in Final Cut wouldn't be possible without the magnetic timeline. I've never thought about that. Also, apparently I've been wrong this whole time. I also thought it was the tilde key lol. Side note, the fact that you don't have at least 100,000 subs at the moment is mind boggling to me.
That goes for both of us! And we can share the Magnetic Timeline! I’m not possessive! 🤣 I was wrong too! Damn you, tilde key! We’ll get to 100k soon enough - you and I are neck and neck right now, friend! 📈
A nice tip for not messing around with the audio attached to the main story line is to attach it to a gap clip of one frame at the beginning. Invisible 😊. Thanks for this great mix of best practises
A simply wonderful tutorial Matthew! Articulate (as always), concise, informative, descriptive, captivating and easy to follow. Extremely well done - one of your best yet! Thank you!
i think it's not part of the magnetic timeline but the Trim(T) in the toolbox is also very important. you can select/move around part of your clip without moving the clip. by the way, thank you so much. I typed all the tools you mentioned. I'll print it and have it handy in my office in case i forget something.
Once again, a Master Class in the new way to learn. People like Matthew here are exactly why colleges are going to be so not relevant. Instant, fresh, concise and searchable. And he is a most excellent instructor. Bravo!
I borrowed A LOT of money to get two college degrees. Definitely wish TH-cam was around like it is today with so many incredibly skilled and talented TH-camrs sharing their incredible knowledge and experience. Glad I can do the same!
Oh my gosh, some of these are complete game changers. Seriously what I’ve been looking for. The (~) key really is a game changer I’ve need even earlier today haha. Savings this video to reference more later.

Travis! So glad these tips are going to help you. Always always always appreciate your feedback and comments. So glad you’re a part of the channel. 🙌🏻🤘🏻
Dang! Well then I'm glad I didn't chicken out with the idea. Appreciate you taking the time to check it out, especially since you're a Premiere Pro editor... (flirting with the idea of using Final Cut Pro??? 🤔)
@@matthewTobrien I'm happy with Premiere Pro! I watched / liked / commented purely because the thumbnail drew me in!!! I'm new to making YT vids and love to watch others that I can get inspiration from!!
This is GOLD! I've started using FCPX just jumping at it, learning by doing (wrong...) and I'm enjoying going back to the school bench and systemising the knowledge.
Killer content Matthew! Great pace and editing examples explaining the “why” of these key features. Since watching your videos I really feel like my editing/ productivity is at new level every time! Gold for sure 👊 Thanks again, Jay
This was so very helpful! I was pulling my hair out today and these tips are amazing! I've been using FCP for over a year and did not know about the Grave key 😩 Thanks again!
Oh shit, I’ve been missing so much and gotten myself into editing problems that could have been resolved so easily. 🤦🏻♂️ I went through your video and made nodes, creating a one-pager of notes that I should have known all along :D Thank you!
This is SO AMAZING, THANK YOU! Can you make a video or two specifically for music video editors? I have made three so far and it is always super frustrating. I know I could be doing things more efficiently. I'm a middling beginner at FCPX.
@@matthewTobrien Rule might be stretching it but the 3 U's is a presentation's objective should be to provide useful information that is usable and ultimately gets used by your audience. Keep up the nice work. I took notes!
That is great to know! And yes, I try to think of all my teachings in that vein - what are the tips/tricks/etc. about FCP that were so useful I couldn't NOT use them.
I use the emotion and rhythm off a score to drive the pace, and your tip on attaching music to the blank clip at the start of the video is exactly what I needed. I often split up sections with a different songs, so not only could I place it at the beginning of the clip, but at the beginning of each song. This is really great. Thanks, Matthew!
If you don’t want the 10 sec empty black video at the beginning when exporting the final edit, just select your in and out point at the exact spot you want! This allows to keep certain « unwanted things » for the export! Saved me a bunch of time
There should be a version of you to explain most things in life because then life would just run so much better Matthew :D Endless thanks for so many great tips to make my work better!!
This is packed with really great tips - thank you so much! One theme I'm noticing with tips and tutorials I'm seeing though is a pattern: It feels like everything is kind of oriented around ways to get it to *not* do things that the magnetic timeline wants to do. In other words, hacks to get it to behave more like other NLEs. There a sort of irony here, or is this imagined? I'm still committed to getting comfortable with FCP, but struggling to see the core benefit of it yet.
To me it’s not that it’s a hack it’s that it’s a tool that is adaptable to the nuanced and varied demands of editing. Sometimes you want to slide an edit and move an attached clip with it and sometimes you don’t - you can do either. For me, the magic of it is that you can do simple edits with fewer operations. It’s faster and less destructive and big, late-stage revisions are no longer a nightmare.
I canNOT believe I coincidentally spent this evening stumbling on lift clip and banging my head against the wall that CMD+OPT+A didn't work because my eyes are too s**t to see it's an up arrow...I better watch more of these videos!
Oh no! I didn't even think of that! I could totally see the arrow looking like an A. Ugh. Glad you got it sorted! And I'm stoked to catch the replay of your lasts Discord livestream. I'm LOVING Discord but need to up my game with hosting my Servers. So glad we got connected through DocRock!
Emilio! Whoa! So great to see you in the comments on one of my vids! And great to see the #FinalCutFam on TH-cam continuing to connect and support each other. Glad you got a kick out of my thumbnail - trying to mix things up a bit! 🤣 I've never had a thumb with that bad of a CTR get so many comments! What'ya do?
So in the spirit of "saving time by fewer clicks and such" to change a connection point you dont have to first select the clip. just "command/opt click" the clip you want and where on it you want
Very true. My thinking is that for first-time users of this keyboard shortcut, it might help to know for sure which clip you're selecting for a clip connection change. But yes, definitely an unnecessary click. 🖱
nicely done as always. great work bloke. even as someone who has been using FCPx for 10 years, it's great to be learning some of those bits i just haven't had time to explore. cheers!
There’s sooooo much to learn with this app - I know there are plenty of things I still need to learn as well. If anything, it’s always fun to peek in on our fellow FCP editors’ workflows. Thanks for watching!
Whoa there, Final Cut! Are you trying to seduce me? Well, for some of you, Final Cut Pro IS trying to seduce you, but don’t let your frustration with its enigmatic ways lead to a break up. These tips will help! Which ones took you by surprise?
If you have a full keyboard, you can delete a clip and leave a gap clip in its place with the single keystroke of the Forward Delete key. As for connection override, I experimented and discovered a keypress sequence that keeps the override locked on and keep your hands free to edit. That was featured in MacBreak Studio 335, but if you go there, see my note below that video on how the keystrokes have changed since then.

Yes. So true. My version is a variation on that. I hate it when a score doesn’t have even ONE frame of nothing at the beginning, though. 🤦🏻♂️

Great tutorial. Btw can you let me know what’s the dust effect/plug-in you used between scenes where titles appear?
I believe that is a title effect included in mFilmMatte from MotionVFX. Here's an affiliate link 👉 geni.us/mFilmmatte
If you have a full keyboard, you can delete a clip and leave a gap clip in its place with the single keystroke of the Forward Delete key. As for connection override, I experimented and discovered a keypress sequence that keeps the override locked on and keep your hands free to edit. That was featured in MacBreak Studio 335, but if you go there, see my note below that video on how the keystrokes have changed since then.
