brilliant follow-up video. the first one was impressive at first, then hilarious with all the apologies as gemini marched blindly forward so confidently. ripple trainings are the best way to learn, but for the endless questions, this chatfcp is a great tool. thanks again!!
Thank you Mark. Switching from Resolve to FCP and switching from Windows to Mac was quite a bit to chew on but the Ripple Training courses and now the Custom Chat GPT tutorial is going to help me so much. Next stop is to hit the Ripple Training website and buy the RT Plugin Bundle. Thanks for doing what you guys do.
Hi, Mark. Now that DeepSeek R1 is taking the world by storm, hopefully, you will be tempted to reproduce this exercise with R1. In the process, we could all save a hefty $20 monthly fee. Could DeepSeek do it?
The issue with CustomGPTs is that it can't show you what to do, which is often way easier than reading step-by-step from a list of instructions (sometimes sufficient!).
I'm so happy to see you march into the fire Mark! We lived through the advent of the PC and the internet. We know: the first to apply the new paradigm in their field will stay active in their field. The folks who don't, won't. (Fear is the little death, the mind killer LOL)
You discovered RAG .. essentially, uploading the documentation to a custom GPT is retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). ChatGPT ingests the document by splitting into ‘chunks’ (small snippets of the original document) and converts them to vectors (numerical representations of the semantic meaning of the text) which are then used later to find relevant data.
Great quote: "The future is not the extension of existing trends, nor opposition to them -- the future must be created." That and ChatGTP 4o is still telling me to find imaginary drop downs in Davinci. ;-) Definitely doing this for Resolve.
I agree, it did great but it actually is just using the uploaded manual so it is faster than searching and having to read all the info in the manual. I’d love to see you do this same exercise with Resolve or doing color correction, Right now I’ll stick to Ripple Training.
This is an excellent tool idea. I am an advanced-age (i.e., old f@rt) keen amateur user who often doesn't know (or sadly forgets) how to do this or that. This a great "look it up for me" tool. Thanks! Suggestion: it'd help us all get a start if you put your Chatgopt text instructions above so we could start creating our own.
I'm in my 70s and frankly, just because I got old doesn't mean I have to stop learning... I spend a lot of the time I have left learning new things... This is just another new thing... I've been learning new things all my life... Why stop now...
Wow, great tutorial and now I have a FCP assistant who will remind me about the correct keyboard short cuts. Very helpful for us infrequent users! I guess as the Apple manual is updated, we'll have to update ChatGPT. I wonder if there will be a way to have Chat update its resources automatically. No matter, thank you!!
Unfortunately, I can't copy and paste directly from your description (as far as links go as they're shortened by youtube). But I didn't know how to create my own GPT, so I appreciate this very, very much. Thank you. PS Do you know if this is better than just creating a project and uploading the files...then adding instructions?
Ha good point on the links getting shortened, should have used bitly. I don't know if just creating a project would continue to remember the uploaded document or if you'd need to keep uploading it over and over.
@@markspencer1203 I just recently figured it out...but no, once you upload it into the project, you can create as many 'chats' in the project, and it uses the files you uploaded. You can even give it instructions. I liked creating my own GPT, but it doesn't retain any memories, so it's not very personalized. I think the method of creating a GPT is best suited for sharing it with someone else...which is something you could do instead of walking someone through the process. The benefit to you is that if you uploaded it to the GPT store with your Ripple Training information in it, it would direct users back to your website as they use your GPT. You could have it gain traction by giving it away here on youtube or your website.
@@mtamech535 Yes it was my original intention to put it on the Store but it wouldn't allow me to do so, I believe because it thinks the User Guide is proprietary.
Shoutout to fellow FCP trainer Iain Anderson for noticing that at 12:19 ChatGPT gave the WRONG keyboard shortcut for the Slip tool - it's T, not S, which toggles Skimming.
Chat GPT is just another tool in the toolbox and customizing it the way you have done makes that tool even more useful... AI doesn't bother me in the least... it's simply another way of finding out the information and getting the job done... While it can replace a lot it isn't human and has no actual creativity in itself... It's another machine... an elaborate one... but just a machine... and like all machines you can use it to make your life easier... or you can use it as an excuse to not do the work... which do you want?

Thank you, Mark. This is fantastic. This brilliant tutorial allows us to find answers much quicker in the huge FCP manual.

Just got home and found the "Thanks button" appears on the Mac and not on the iPhone or iPad. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you Joseph very kind of you

Do you know the limits of how much you can upload to be used as a RAG? How many large sized PDFs can it ingest?

We did put the chatGPT instructions above - just click "more" in the description to see and copy it!

Note that I made one mistake - I didn't catch that it got the shortcut for the Slip tool WRONG! It's T, not S.

@@mtamech535 Much appreciated
Interesting. It's basically faster at searching through a PDF for a specific answer.

But Mark - how do we know it's YOU in this video? ;-)
Good question!
Do consider the carbon footprint of following a Ripple course vs using ChatGPT or Gemini.
