    Wow! I just watched the entire tutorial and it was a GREAT use of my quarantine time! Though I have been using Final Cut Pro X for a couple of years now, I have been mother-witting everything, which left me insecure and inefficient. I am happy to learn easier ways to do many of the things I do all the time. I also liked the resources you shared at the end. While I had stumbled upon--and used a few of them before--I see new and more creative ways to use them in our music videos. Thanks, again, for such a valuable resource! :)

    MY goodness. This is the most practical and comprehensive class that one can take to be able to use FCP. I am very impressed how David is teaching the practical tool that you would use. not to short that will leave out important info and not to long that you would pass out. Kudos to all the good recommendation about the different plug inns too! Training rating: 10/10. This is a wonderful class. I stayed up till 3:30am to watch this and it is worth it! cheers! LOL

    I spent about 40 years working in LA and New York as a Film Editor. I retired finally about 10 years or so ago. I worked on almost every platform from moviolas to kems linear video systems, avid and finally fcp 7. When fcpx came out, It was far less intuitive and I swore I wouldn't learn another. I was finished with the industry and it wasn't fun anymore. I'm not sure if it ever was really fun because I spent a lot of time sitting in a dark room with people who had tremendous egos. I was tired of sitting indoors and swore I would never edit again. So now I'm living in Bali and teaching qigong, yoga, and mobility and I need to promote myself so I'm having to edit again and your tutorial here is great. The program is relatively cheap and powerful. I'm even not skipping the ads, though it's giving me an opportunity to stand up and move around.

  • @QuintonLiddle
    @QuintonLiddle 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank you, this was a truly great class. I'm busy making the switch from Premiere Pro to Final Cut and this was invaluable. I can also honestly say that this was the first time ever that I have not skipped ads in a TH-cam video, and I did so very happily.

      Isn't it ashamed you had to wait until you stopped working your line of work (which should have taught you some of these concepts) and get taught these things instead by someone who never worked in media!! Don't feel bad. Me.......too. I feel your 'pain'. I used to work for both a radio station and a cable company on the West Coast. By contract I / we were forbidden from going near any of the engineers equipment. We weren't even allowed to touch mics once they were placed in front of us. How's that for going back in time?

    Absolutely masterful. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise in such an accessible format. Yesterday, I stared at a new, blank FCPx screen. Today, I feel confident to navigate and create. So thanks for making this possible. No spare waffle, no irritating voices or fill-ins, no baseball cap on backwards or weird styling, just solid, interesting and professional guidance to get us started. I'm converting to FCPx from Premier Pro and not regretting it one bit.

  • @brianwithycombemusic3446
    @brianwithycombemusic3446 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    This may be the best tutorial I have seen on FCP to date.... and I have seen a few. As an online (skype) piano teacher/mentor with students around the world, I am impressed with your ability to get to, and focus on the specific aspect or aspects of what you are outlining. Clear, concise, and frankly with as few words as necessary. From experience, that is NOT an easy thing to do... and it is easy to get wordy or vier off a bit, as that is human nature. In that context... job well done!! It is a gift that few people possess that do tutorial videos, and you are to be commended. I have only subscribed or commented to 2 channels in my 30 years on TH-cam. This is the 2nd. David, you have my undivided attention and my respect as well... ! Job well done Bravo !

  • @Stellifant
    @Stellifant 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This is absolutely brilliant! Everything you need to start using FCPX and much more too. Stay until the end and see the resources David uses to enhance his films; graphics, plug ins, stills, fonts. An hour and a half well spent. Thank you David!

    David, as you know I have been a big fan for some time now, and for good reason. You have a way of explaining things so that they make sense and stick for the long term. Having said that I will say that I have watched many of your videos, especially your FCPX tutorials a least 5 times and each time I learn something new, some things I just was not ready to learn until I practiced A, B & C...Then I learned D, E & F...and Now G, H & I...and on and on...Thank you for all you do, your content is and will always be a key tool to my learning process. Keep on doing your thing, I know I am not the only one that appreciates it...

  • @RonRicho

    David A Cox is the undisputed world champion of teaching FCPX! I've been using FCPX for 5 years and I still learned a lot and refreshed what I already knew. If you want to refine your FCPX editing experience I can't recommend any tutorial over this one. As a test of what I'm saying I never clicked skip ads once. This gent should be supported. Thank you, David!

  • @CulturaeIncursu

    @JustinSpencers 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm 50. I've been a PC user since day one. I'm a realtor and do a lot of community type videos that I've been editing on CyberDirector. (I came from the Post Production industry. Not specifically an editor, but an assist, so I had some base knowledge of how to work.) Switched to MAC last week, and downloaded FCP. I've watched a few of your videos on learning how to use a MAC. Thank you for that as I was totally lost at first. Then I dove into FCP. I thought I was lost when I turned on the MAC. That was NOTHING compared to how lost I was when I started using FCP. I can not thank you enough for this video. It helped me SO much! Really appreciate you putting this together! You are awesome my friend!

    @ambrichard100 5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    David, I am a long-time fan of your generous and insightful youtube tutorials. Your Cape Cod Drone videos inspire me. I plan to start a small local TV news production service based on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I have a AVCHD video equipment with its optimum setting being 1080p/60p but not 4K. The 4K Go Pro Hero 7 promos have impressed me, particularly their new stabilization feature. What concerns me is that the camera saves files to HEVC, H.265 codex in an MP4 container, rather than the standard H.265 which is easier to import to FCPX. Although I prefer the more movie-like pre-4k resolutions (I sometimes shoot in 720/24p), the high def 4K format is gaining popularity and may soon become standard in the future for television news production. Before I lay out money for Hero 7 camera and accessories my Question is: Will I be able to import the Hero7 clips into FCPX without resorting to complicated file conversions? I know you are very busy and am reluctant to take up your time with this question. Any thoughts on this issue will be much appreciated. Thanks, Albert Richard

    David, this was awesome. I've used Final Cut 7, then worked with iMovie for years. When I stepped up to the new Final Cut, I was a little intimidated. However, it looks like all my previous experience is going to be a pure joy with the new plugins and flexibility that the final cut 10+ is giving me. Your video has given me the confidence to jump in with both feet. Thank you.

    Wow, this is the best tutorial I've seen as a beginner to FCPX, and I have seen them all in the last week! Very well done, context, tonality, speed, perfect. Thank you David, I will view your other tutorials as well. Again, excellent, I really learned some wonderful techniques and tricks on editing with FCPX. And thank you for taking the time to time code, you are the man!

    I used to create a lot of videos using Final Cut Pro. I got older (old) and haven't done any for some years. I want to start creating some videos again.and found I couldn't remember A LOT when it came to editing. Your tutorial has really helped get me back up to speed (and then some). Thank you for your clarity.

    I love this video, I think I've watched it 10 times and refer to it almost all the time. It's so nicely spaced out and he takes time to show you exactly how to do it - click by click. I never thought I'd be able to learn a software like this and now I can & it gives me so much of confidence . Just a great tutorial all through.
    Thank you so much David!

    Thank you so much! I've just started a job as a film editor and have had to come back to FCP after giving up on it. I learned a few new tricks I didn't know about which should speed up workflow. I've also been teaching editing online (Resolve) and found your teaching style something to aspire to.

    Bravo, David! I just purchased the the 2019 27” iMac Pro. Set it up. Downloaded FCP and watched over 50 videos from dozens of different professional YT video editors...
    While many offered cool tips, not one can compare to your seamless instruction.
    I am all in.
    Thank you! I going to purchase the plug-ins you recommended. I want my TH-cam content to be on a whole new level for my genre.
    Now I’m hoping you have a video on how to split the screen up. I’m going to search through all of them now!
