    I have been struggling with Final Cut for so long, this is the first video I've seen that has actually helped me, I had a library with every single youtube video Ive ever done, I closed it and made a new library just for the one video I'm working on and its running like normal. thank you so much, it was driving me nuts! I thought I was about to have to buy a whole new computer!

      My library is labeled TH-cam and I have a bunch of different videos under that as separate events and then projects within that. Are you saying that each new video is a library on its own instead of an event?

    • @KevinKolbe
      @KevinKolbe  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@BrownCandyPaint that's how I do it. Are there exceptions? Yes. For example, when I do Amazon videos, I just have one library called Amazon videos, then do different events in there. The reason is most of those are really short and I don't keep them. Hope that helps.

      @@BrownCandyPaint let me clarify something. I only do different libraries for completely different projects. If I do an interview with someone, that video and any cutdowns of that would be in the same library. Hope that makes sense.

      @@KevinKolbeyes that makes total sense. What I’m getting is that the smaller videos can live in a library. My larger projects and its elements can each be its own library.

    That was the absolute best tip I have gotten by far… The last one where you mention to delete the generated clips, and check both those check boxes… That fixed everything and made my M1 run the software like it's new again .. Many thanks, you're a genius.

      Actually I think you can. Try this: Select the clip or clips, go to the Inspector, select the "i" option for "info", scroll down to Transcode Media. You should get a box that pops up that gives you the option of converting it to Proxy. Haven't tried this but think that might work.

    • @KevinKolbe

      Weird. Re: reinstalling, now it shouldn't. Just make sure you have a copy of the library and files handy. You can export the edit list too. I had to do something similar a long time ago but everything came back great.

  • @kipling1957
    @kipling1957 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for these tips, and all good stuff. My issue is more basic. Having just finally upgraded to a silicon MacBook Pro M2 I was expecting it to rip through exporting/encoding to HD video, which is all I use. Well it is quite a bit faster than my 2018 MBP. But the system only uses about 10% of my available CPU. Is that normal? Are there any setting I should check?

    • @KevinKolbe
      @KevinKolbe  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching and good question. Both of my Macs are M1 chips and both are really fast. Most of my editing is on my Mac Mini M1 and has been good enough I didn't upgrade (yet) to the M2. One reason is I've heard it's not that much faster...some but not overly noticeable. I'd reach out to Apple and see if they have any more ideas.

    • @KevinKolbe
      @KevinKolbe  10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Make sure you've got any program closed you simply don't need. Beyond that, try editing with proxy files. If you're not familiar with that, it creates very low-resolution clips to make editing faster, especially with large files and projects. When finished you export and FCP will convert only what you used to high-rez files.

      I create a new library for every video unless I'm doing variations of something. Having one massive library with a ton of files will slow down FCP, possibly your computer too. Another downside, that one library gets corrupt, you're screwed.
