Awesome as usual! You and Dylan Bates are my go to fcpx dudes!! Thx
Hell ya! Love to hear that. Just spent some time with the other Dylan in person actually.
Another killer video man, again helping us out big time! For the sound effect trick, can you do a similar thing with overlay footage??
Thanks my friend! You know what's funny, I created a whole bonus section on something similar, but it wasn't really a hack and it made the video over 7 minutes so I cut it. What you can do is drag your overlays and graphics into the Apple TV app. Then go into Apple TV which is above your sound effects folder in FCP and you'll see them in there.
@@dylanjohndickerson PERFECT thank you so much man!
DUUUUDE!!! Literally was trying to figure out the first one in my latest vlog!! BROO!! the Make Alias folder hack!! JESUS!!! I've been uploading the SFX from a folder attached to a hard drive! Major help brotha! Keepem coming!

@@dylanjohndickerson Do you have any music published? I'd love to check it out.
@@michaeldulsky8492 Do I? No I'm not a musician. Why do you assume that?
Three GEMS ⭐
Thanks amigo!
First tip is genius omg. I used to create a screenshot and use that for transitions haha but that's a nightmare!
Haha damn! Ya give this method a shot 👊🏼
With your skill, you are always surprising me 😮
Thanks so much! 😊
Awesome tips Dylan. I got the audio hack from one of your previous video :) Is there a way to add sounds while having FCP open so it refreshes newly added files? It's kind of annoying to open/close FCP just to see the new sounds. I like to have the project open while searching and adding music/sfx to my folder so I can "test" them quickly to see if they fit.
Thanks my friend! No unfortunately I don't think so. I believe you have to restart the application.
I also like to have my project open while searching and adding music/sfx to test them. If you just added a bunch of new ones and you don't want to close and reopen, you could just drag the new sound effects from the main sfx folder that you have and bring them into your FCP library.
Awesome tips! Though I do want to point out that you CAN preview your sound effects/music from the finder window by highlighting it and clicking the spacebar
Thanks! Ah great point. But you can't see the waveform and quickly scrub through the sound effect.
I love the "shift H" tip. Is there a way to do this at the beginning of a clip? thanks Dylan
Yes absolutely! It's the same regardless of whatever side you use the hold frame on. Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the video 👊🏼
pls tell what is the transition and exact sound effect you are using at 3:07 looks super clean and professional, love your content always very useful
The transitions pack is in the description and I think the sound effects is from a pack called, Cinepacks. Hope that helps!
Cool! You should also teach us how to produce this triangle transition.
Hey! Can you give me a timestamp so I can see what you're talking about?
Sure. Take a look the first transition (0:05) after you say “3 hacks”. The “triangle” transitioning the scenes I am talking about. I appreciated it a lot but I don’t know how to produce it. If you could teatch me…
@@JoaoInacio Ah that's actually a title that has a transition opening. It's from this plugin 👇🏼 geni.us/mTitleCyberpunk

@@dylanjohndickerson Thanks!
OMG, awesome hacks.
Thanks so much, Houston!
Hey, awesome video man! Quick question for you. What kind of light do you use to make the background blue? Your setup looks so clean.
Thanks a ton, Pierce! I'm actually considering making a 'how I made TH-cam videos' video so I'll talk about the studio setup then, but they're the Nanette Pavotube II 30X. Highly recommend them!
@@dylanjohndickerson Thanks, Dylan! You for sure should make that video
@@dylanjohndickerson Quick follow-up question: Do you just put the tub on the ground and angle it up at the back wall? Or how exactly do you set it up? Thanks!
@@PierceJordan I guess you'll have to wait and see for the video! haha. I'll probably release it next week.
@@dylanjohndickerson I’m looking forward to it!
Succinct tips and tricks! The transition one will be a game changer for me. I literally was re adding original clips to get more data 🤦♂️
So glad it helped out! Thanks for watching 😊
Could the last hack, where you save favorite titles or transitions be done for the effects that comes with FCPX, or only for the third party plugins? Thanks
Definitely! It'll work better with those. Some 3rd party plugins don't work for some reason.
Can anyone help!!!
Does anyone know how to get the 'SHOW HORIZON' shortcut to work, use all the time but can't seem to find a short cut or make one for it.
you just saved me a fortune
My pleasure, Timothy 👊🏼
hello sir this is shiva
from Bharath
I want to know how to trim multiple Clips in FCP
I mean to Trim In & Out of multiple clip 1 or 2 Seconds at a time.
Wow! thanks for not telling me about how great Squarespace is for the first 5 minutes
Squarespace offers a user-friendly interface with a drag-and-drop editor, allowing anyone to create a professional website without coding knowledge. The platform provides stunning....jk. Thanks for watching 😛
Can you add or do the same thing with overlay footage to fcp under sound effects?
You know what's funny, I created a whole bonus section on something similar, but it wasn't really a hack and it made the video over 7 minutes so I cut it. What you can do is drag your overlays and graphics into the Apple TV app. Then go into Apple TV which is above your sound effects folder in FCP and you'll see them in there.
@Dylan John brother, thank you 😎😎🙏🏽
I'm looking forward to learning more from your channel. I give you credit for everything 🫡
@@Aukusitino79 Thanks so much for the support, brotha 🙏🏼
OMG I didn't realise there was a drop down called Effects that had more folders in it (2:43 but you have to be quick). Also, who else here gets the "iLife Sound Effects" reference?
As in that drop down menu? Oh definitely! That's a solid way to get to certain folders. Thanks for watching!
Can you drop a paid link to the Envato packs? I can't seem to find them
geni.us/TryEnvatoElements It's a subscription thing. So what I'd do is just sign up for Envato Elements and then hop into the Final Cut Pro plugins section to download all the plugins you want.
Thanks for these hacks very useful. But it seems that I can't see all the effects in their folders... As an example, in "Lower Third" I can only see 2 types of effects despite the factc in FCPX I can see that there's a lot more... In the same way, in my Transition's folder, I can only see externals pluggins, not FCPX native's ones. Did I miss something ? Chris from France
Did you try closing out and reentering the software?
@@dylanjohndickerson No I didn't but I sure will 👍Thanks 🙏
@@dylanjohndickerson now I did but it didn't change a thing...Don't worry, I can live without 👍

See I told you! I'd click it!
😂 You live up to your word!
sir upload new transition overlay effect
What?
@@dylanjohndickerson new transition pack upload in TH-cam
@@sharnuharijan24 I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't understand.
@@sharnuharijan24 If you're asking for me to illegally upload MotionVFX's transition pack so you can download it for free, you can forget about it. Not happening.
Nice cactus Bruh
Thanks bruhhhh. Brand new one. The old one died when I moved.
Dylan, your videos are superb, very good information but… Please hold the music! It is way too conflicting with a very complicated sequence of clicks and concepts. Carreon though I'm watching and thanks!
Ah great feedback, Chip! I struggle with that because some people have told me that I should have the music be a bit louder. I'll lower it from now on though. I appreciate it!
Couldn't you just alias your favorite motion templates into a favorite folder instead of copying them? (I always prefer "one source of truth")
That should work in theory! I've never tried it.
VERY GOOD and useful but please the music in your tutorials is just not necessary and distracting.
I've lowered it since this video 😊 thanks for the feedback!
A great way to copy a file or folder is to hold down option and drag it to where you want it. You'll see a green circle with a + in it that let's you know you're adding a file, not moving it. If you don't see the plus, you may have held down option after you started dragging. No problem, alter your drag to return to start and then release and try again. Once you've done it a few times, it becomes natural.
I do that all the time actually! Not sure why I didn't mention it in this video. Some things slip my mind. You can also move a clip and delete the location of the original by holding command. And if you hold command and press delete, you can automatically delete something without having to drag it to the trash or right clicking and hitting move to trash. Those tricks really come in handy.
