My best tip would be keyboard shortcuts! They speed up your workflow so much and you don't have to spend that much time setting them up. I specifically like "C" for cut and "F" for delete because then you can keep your left hand on the keyboard and your right hand on your mouse.
This was wildly helpful, thank you! I’ve been editing close to two years and just today learned about that audio “range selection” option (that adds the fades for you). Game changer that will make editing faster. THANK YOU, Justin. As always, your vids have so much value. 💯🥇
You're welcome - so glad you've found value in our content! 😊
One of the best tutorials I've come across. Some videos make it way more complicated than it should be. Thanks!
Wow, so awesome to hear it. Thanks! 👍
I've watched a lot of final cut beginner tutorials but this is the one that I needed. Thank you so much!
You're welcome - glad you found it useful! 🙏
Been messing with iMovie, learning the basics. Ready to move on to the bigger, better program. FANTASTIC video once again. Thank you!!!
You're welcome - glad you liked it! 👍
I have learned how to create new libraries, naming them properly, for anything new I edit. I even have a library named “tests” for new microphones, other adjustments, and even things I learn where I practice. I can always refer back to this library for when I forget how to do something I have learned.
I literally used this video as a step by step to get started. Thank you! Lifesaver
That's awesome! You're welcome! 😃
I really appreciate your attention to detail and thorough explanations. Without your help, my entry into FCPX would not have been nearly as seamless as it’s been. Thank you so much!
You're welcome - so awesome to hear it! - Hazel, PV Team
Thanks for an amazing, efficient, walkthrough. It was really helpful to get started. If you were to do another, It would be cool to see to an actual cohesive video done start to finish. But, this was far better than I could have asked for.
You're welcome - glad you enjoyed it! 😊 - Hazel, PV Team
Hello I just made this switch in the last few days to FCPX and I really love how you explain everything! I'm so grateful for you doing what you do. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!

I've been using Final Cut Pro for about year (but only less than 10 videos in that time). A few days ago, I edited and uploaded my first video this year (which was probably the first video I've worked on the last six months) and my process certainly wasn't the most efficient. When you mentioned copying and pasting attributes, I went, "oh yeah! I forgot all about that!" I learnt at least a couple more things that will be useful in future. Thanks for sharing this video.
You're welcome!
As someone who is trying to get into editing this was very helpful. Thank you bro!
You're welcome - glad you found it helpful 😊
After learning editing on Lumafusion moving to FCP is incredibly frustrating, after more than 40 hours trying to figure out how to do simple things like adding videos to projects or trying to understand why do I need events and projects being an old school gamer I broke 3 mouses. I bought this thing about 4 years ago, gave it a try got super disappointed (on myself) turned it off and never touched it again. After some time I found out about LumaFusion and decide to learn the ropes there. The learning curve was more like a learning slide because things were very easy to pick up, everything makes sense and is intuitive. Great? Nope, even though FCP has way, way more options and possibilities I can’t learn how to use it. I tried to edit the same small video on each one and in lumafusion after 45 minutes it was done, on FCP after 10 hours I gave up not even close to one quarter of the editing. $300 dollars burned to ashes, sorry about my complaining… so frustrating 😢
So straght forward and helpful thank you!
You're welcome - so awesome to hear it! 😊
JB! I needed this! I've been doing it all wrong for YEARS. I was editing in iMovie first and then sending it to Final Cut Pro. Now I won't have to double work! My number one Final Cut Pro Tip? *Watch THIS Video Tutorial!* Thanks Justin!

@Primalvideo Another thing I found in Final Cut Pro to help audio for the primary footage is using audio cross fades. If you cover this in another Final Cut Pro tutorial, I think this is a really good tip. Great video, since I’m eventually planning on using LumaFusion and Final Cut Pro together.
Thank you for going straight to the point.
