Thanks!
Holy smokes, John! I know we share the same name, but wow 🤩 Thank you so so much, my friend!
15 years using Final Cut and thanks to your channel i am learning really important new things. Thanks!!!!
Hell ya dude! That makes me beyond happy to hear 🙌🏼 thank YOU for letting me know that!
Same here!!
Are you a video editor? How did you use FCP for 15 years? What you did?
@@pappu4539 I start in the Univertsity, then i work as freelance, then i work in a TV channel and some productions companies, and 9 years ago i start my own drone buissiness in many cases i edit the video for the client, also i do a lot of content in TH-cam. :)
Most useful FCPX video I have seen in a long time. Great job, my compliments. Subscribing now ;-) and if there’s a link to buy you a coffee I’m more than happy to do so. All the best from the Netherlands.
Oh wow! Such awesome feedback to hear, Michael! Thank you so much! 😃 There's something on youtube called 'Super Thanks'. It's right below the video and allows you to make a donation of any amount to support the creator. I greatly appreciate you offering that 🙏 please don't feel obliged to. Cheers from Indonesia, my friend!
Ahh the “~” is a lifesaver when dealing with the magnetic timeline! Figured there had to be a better way. Thanks man!
Yes !
That it is Marshall! It helps out a whole bunch. Thanks for watching brotha 🤙🏼
This may be best FCPX tips video ever. Well done.
Well that’s some damn amazing feedback to hear 🙌🏼 Thanks so much Chris!
I literally started laughing out loud because crying was not an option :D Especially the one with the Tilde key is a life changer, I can't count how often I messed up my timeline. Thank you so much for all these pro tipps, way better than all the other vids I've seen on this topic!
Haha I got you, my friend! I'm stoked to hear that I was able to pass along some useful tips to help you flourish as an editor 💪🏼 Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
BRUHHHHH!! That first one.. 🙌 Jesus man! You've just ANSWERED a ton of questions Ive been having when I edit! AMAZING VID man. THANK YOU!!!
Well hell yaaaaa Raul 🤘 I'm stoked to hear that brotha! Thanks for watching and taking the time to let me know you enjoyed it 👊
Hey Dylan, great video. Your videos look so professional. Im blown away by your thumbnail and editing skills. I a have been using premiere pro for years and trying to switch final
Cut pro. But I’m having trouble with simple edits like adding an intro. It would be really cool if you made a tutorial on how you made this thumbnail. Any help would be much appreciated.
Well thanks so much! I do this for a living, so if it doesn't look at least a little bit professional, then I'm in the wrong field 😅 You definitely made the right move. Final Cut is such a fantastic software. As far as you having trouble with adding an intro, might I suggest picking up a plugin that gives you really amazing looking, animated intros? It really saves you a ton of time. What type of intros are you looking to create exactly?
Also that's a great idea! I made this thumbnail in photoshop, but I could totally do it in Final Cut Pro too.
@@dylanjohndickerson you should make a tutorial showing how you did that in photoshop. I have an intro that was made and really good, but when I add it to timeline in final cut, I can’t get the cross dissolve to work right.
@@TrueLifeInvesting Unfortunately, a photoshop tutorial wouldn't jive with my nice :/ I definitely could make one on how to create it in FCP though. Interesting! In what ways is it not working right?
@@dylanjohndickerson I understand that. Could y’all do a tutorial of how to maybe do a short project start to finish? You add the title that’s already pre built, add some text, a few transitions. That would be great. The reason I ask is because when I learned premiere pro they showed how to do from start to finish and even adding things and I was able to pick it up fast but tutorials on Final cut seem so difficult because there are little things left out that make a big difference. But great job, I appreciate your reply. I know TH-cam can keep you busy
@@TrueLifeInvesting that’s a great idea. Would a ‘creating a TH-cam tutorial’ be a good topic or are you looking for it to be a ‘regular’ video, not an editing tutorial?
Love how you put your own spin on the mKBHD pack Dylan! Definitely gave me some inspiration for my next video!
I freaking love that pack brotha. It’s fresh and modern and there’s so much good stuff in it. Glad I could offer some inspiration 🤙🏼
@@dylanjohndickerson Hi Dylan, I can only echo Jeff's words (who by the way is another huge source of inspiration for me) These were some amazing hecks and definitly shaves off quite some time from my next edit. Loved the Shift+? tip. Awesome work, thanks a lot🙏
@@SmartMoneywithKai That makes me stoked to hear, Kai 🤙🏼 Glad I could pass on some useful info. Shift and Question mark is really clutch and when customizing it to just the question mark key, it makes for some quick and easy playback. Thanks for letting me know you liked the video!
I don’t leave comments super often but this has made editing so much more enjoyable. Is still my blade to b. Delete is space. And play from head is N. I’ve been editing for 3 years and never knew this lmao Thank you so much for the amazing video. Liked. Subbed.
You should start leaving comments more often! 😊 I enjoy hearing what people have to say. That makes me very happy to hear that I was able to shed some light on a few things. Have you seen part 2 of this video by chance? You may like that as well 👉 th-cam.com/video/QyKPzFD3xF0/w-d-xo.html
Awesome Tips Dylan - sharing this out on our community tab. Well done
Holy smokes 😄 I appreciate it more than you know, Justin 🙏🏼 thank you so much!
great tips! 👏😎
Thank you!
Yep, I was doing it wrong. Snapshot tip is a game changer. Thanks Dylan👏
That it is my friend! Thanks for watching 👊
For all viewers from Germany: Use the ^ instead of the ~ for that Magnetic Timeline Magic ;-) (I'm still a rendering guy. Dunno why. It is the way I do it for 11 years. Maybe a Mandalorian thing: "Rendering your timeline. This is the way.")
This is the way 😂 I have to say it with you. Very true! You can put this key on whatever key you'd like. Only US keyboards have the tilde/grave key I believe.
Lift from story line😎
Love your energy Dylan! Thank you for the useful tips and providing use with so much value :) I'm definitely focus on some of these for my next youtube video. Keep the good work up! Subscribed.
Thanks Patrick! 🙏 I appreciate the kind words and the sub!
These tips are awesome!! Thanks man!!
You're welcome Lyuzhou!
Friggin' awesome! Thanks for some new tricks and gently reminding us how great this software actually is.
Thank YOU John. I make these for the satisfaction of helping people out, completing projects, and my love for editing. I don't make much money off of them. You giving that Super Thanks gives me that extra push to keep continuing down the path I'm on. Thank you once again for your generosity 🙏
Top tier tips! I've been using FCPX for many years but love how the learning never stops. The "~'" is a real game changer.
I totally agree! The magnetic timeline is of course the default in FCP and one reason why it's so fast, but obviously there are times when you'd like to disengage it. The "~'" key is the savior in that instance. Thanks for watching, my friend!
Great thank you, hope you do more of these videos!!
You're welcome! I'll definitely do more ☺
A shortcut I personally like is rebinding the Zoom In and Zoom Out feature for the timeline to the 1 and 2 keys, respectively. The saved time adds up from having to use the Command key every time I want to change the zoom (which for me is very often)
That’s why I swear by the trackpad 🙌🏼 nothing’s easier than pinching and expanding with your fingers to zoom in and out
I don’t have a trackpad lol but I totally agree that it’s the best way to zoom. I’m a lowly Mac Mini user with keyboard & mouse haha
No worries! But if you find some extra money lying around, I highly suggest getting a trackpad. @@c01by-jack
Good to know about snapshots, Dylan. I never thought about dupes of compound clips and multicam clips inheriting the parent properties. I’ve always used duplicate project for versioning.
My pleasure, Kent. Ya definitely go with snapshots. I've definitely made the error of using duplicate projects and after a lot of editing in multicam clips, I sadly went back to some old versions to find that they had been changed as well.
What a killer video. The first one alone was enough for me to sub. Thanks!
Well hell ya! Thanks a ton my dude 🤙🏼
Thanks a lot! That was really helpful
Glad to hear it! 😊 thanks for watching and commenting!
Great tips man! Thanks
Thanks James! 🙏
Killer tips Dylan, thank you! Saving presets, getting all that sound in the library, background render off, shift ?, and those killer organization tips are game changers for me 👊
Dope Jason! I'm glad that I was able to teach you a thing or two brotha 🤘
Worth mentioning that once you have a keyword collection, you can add clips to it by dragging and dropping. You can also add just ranges of a clip, so for example if you’re clipping up an interview you can select a range and drag it to a keyword collection called “clips” and you have a simple easy list of all your clips. I’ve been editing in Premiere all day and the media management is awful compared to FCP.
Great points, David! I just did a quick dive into some features, but you're right, there are so many more ways to organize your footage in FCP 🙌 Without a doubt better than Premiere.
So much value!! Thank you👍
You're so welcome! 🤘
Great tips!!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching 👊🏼
Holy Crap! I've watched countless tutorials over the years on fcpx, and this is by far the best one impho. Every single aspect I have had while editing was addressed in this one video. The attention to detail and explanation of everything was very well done too. 21.8k Subs right now, I bet you'll have 100k by the end of 2022. Great job on this and thank you....
Wowwzaaa 😍 Thank you so much! I can only hope. I don't foresee that happening, but I gotta keep up the grind and hope that it does. My goal for this year was 30k. Thanks for the kind words my friend 🙏
Wow … I never comment but wow awesome video, I actually learned a lot ! Thank you, you’re awesome
You should comment more, brotha! I'm always down to chat in the comments. That makes me stoked to hear you enjoyed it 🤘 Any particular video topic you'd like to see next?
This is so gold thank you!
You're very welcome! Glad you found it useful 👌
So so good! Thanks.
Thank you so much!
My fav youtuber
😍 I gotta say, that's a first...and it made my day. Thank you, Johan 🙏 Any video topic you'd like to see in the future mate?
@@dylanjohndickerson Hi dylan, I like all the topics you develop on this channel. I'm working as a filmmaker for 1 year and half and I've learnt so much thanks to your videos. Thanks you so much for that. Keep it that way, maybe a video about color grading mistakes and how to avoid them ( with color finale 😍) or how to color grade a wedding or stuff like that .I wish you the best. Have a great day mate.😁
@@playjohskill You know what's funny, is I'm actually writing a script for a video called '5 Reasons Why Your Color Grades Suck' haha. You know what I have planned! haha. A color grading tutorial for wedding videos would be a solid idea as well. I'll keep the color grading tutorials coming :) I'm also creating a color grading course for Final Cut Pro and Color Finale users right now. I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the year, so I'll keep you updated! I wish you the best as well brotha 👊 Thanks so much for the support and enjoy your day!
