After using Vegas for 10 years and messing up with the shortcuts I can't live without them anymore! So after moving to FCPX I instantly changed the shortcuts and you should too! This is my BEFORE = SHORTCUT CTRL + Z == 1 CMD + B == 2 DELETE == 3 SHIFT + RIGHT == 4 So my left hand basically doesn't move, 1234 and I'm all set =)
Thanks for the video! So if you close the Library projects.... what do you do if you want to go back to that project again in the future to make changes to the edit... is there a way to re-open the edit?
The CTRL-V for the title animations has just made me so angry and happy at the same time! I wasted so much time messing around with keyframes, this will help so much - thank you!
You just blowed my mind LOL I've been using FCPX for more than 2 years now, and still got some new tips and shortcuts from this video! Amazing! thank you!
the transition is built in to FCPX, it's called Slide In. The sound effect you might find on Freesound.org. Search for Swoosh, Whip, Whoosh. I don't remember exactly where I found these transitions. Check the FCPX audio library.
Use the range tool (R) for selecting an area where you want to paste (Q) something. In your case the adjustment layer or title. Just select the area and press Q. the footage will appear exactly on the selected area. But you gave me some good tips! I loved your video.
Thanks for this beautiful 'illustrated-fact-filled' video. Wasn't much interested in using shift+[ ] commands in the past, but, after seeing this video, I will try to use it more often! Also, I just loved your method of adjusting the zoom by scaling down the video to 25% and then making the adjustments! I am blessed with your videos. May God bless you abundantly.
New subscriber here. I like your style of teaching, it's very easy to follow. I just received my new iMac and installed Final Cut and Motion. I've been using Filmora which is extremely limiting and it will nice to take off the shackles. It's been 6 years since I've used Final cut and version 10 seems a bit different. I am sure I will get back to my old self with your help.
Very Helpful tutorial!! Marcos Rocha, by the way is your name from portuguese or spanish? im from Angola and speak portuguese, presiso saber se que camera usaste, pra filmar este video? obrigado. i need to know wish camera did you shut this clips? thanks
Hablo Español. I went to Portugal and they thought I was Portuguese because of my name. I shoot all my videos with the Sony a6300. I have a link to all my video equipment in the description. Thank you for the appreciation Carlos.
I do documentary with lots of tables and text. I'm having big troubles in using transitions between images in my timeline and titles. Can you help me understand what I can/can't do when it comes to transitions and any turnaround to make workflow faster? I'm losing a lot of time messing around with "non-working properly" transitions. many thanks
Brilliant, helpful video. Quick one on the default title - CTRL-T. For me this brings up FCPX's basic title which randomly doesn't allow me to keyframe it in any way. Is this a bug? I know you can change the default to whichever one you want. Did you just make a basic one of your own?
1:30 especially for people who are new to editing.. it may be worth changing the name of the video and audio so that they match (are the same). Like video & 1 audio 1. You could even add a shorter version of your project name, so that you are sure you have the right files in FCPX! I Once matched the wrong audio with the wrong video and was like... Never again!! Thanks so much for this video 👍🏿 Workflow is everything 💯
It all depends how much video files you have. If you have a lot of footage, Video files can quickly fill up 3TB. I shoot a lot of Video and I have an 8TB External Hard Drive where I store all my files. I would highly recommend getting a 1TB or a 2TB External Hard Drive where you keep all your video files and you edit off of that. Then see how quickly it fills up.
So when I cut a piece of my video using Command-B (as you show at 11:12 in this video), to single out that one piece of the clip to add emphasis - it seems like it's glitching at that very point when I upload. Am I doing something wrong here ? Or does that seem like a final cut pro glitch?
Thanks for the video. so much great info stuffed into it. Im using PP and considering FCX because Im using an older mac and FCX seems to work way faster.
Hi Marcos, Great info here! Do you have tutorials on the skimmer and drop zones? I trying to put a video collage together with a plugin and I'm having trouble syncing the videos together.
Thanks for the video Marcos, much appreciated. I'm working on FCP X version 10.4 and none of my titles seem to have any keyframe options in the inspector. They have boxes to adjust the position of the text but there are no keyframe boxes next to them like there are on your video to let you animate the motion. What am I doing wrong?
adjustment layer: how do I make one? not what they do, I get that. how would I go about creating one myself? I have Motion & FCPX. thanks for the excellent tutorials.
I really love the technique you used to edit your video. I tried using the same keys to edit a voice over audio clip in my video but it kept cutting and making changes in the clip and not the audio. I had to keep clicking on the audio to make sure the keys made the changes on the audio and not the video. Do you have any suggestions ?
Check out my Final Cut Pro X Masterclass: bit.ly/fcpxmasterclass
Love that you teach the shortcuts in your videos - it's much easier when you learn these at the start rather than halfway through
Yeah it makes it so much simpler to cut the footage
This is my favorite advanced editing in FCPX Tutorial I've liked so much so. far .
Marcos, I have never written a comment on youtube. You are hands down the best instructor I have seen so far!
Man, you just made my day! I am not a super polished speaker, but I hope I am straight to the point. Thanks for commenting! 😁
This guide is like FCP. Precise and fast.
well done
thanks so much for this tutorial and the beginner one. time to explore final cut pro x
After using Vegas for 10 years and messing up with the shortcuts I can't live without them anymore! So after moving to FCPX I instantly changed the shortcuts and you should too!
This is my BEFORE = SHORTCUT
CTRL + Z == 1
CMD + B == 2
DELETE == 3
SHIFT + RIGHT == 4
So my left hand basically doesn't move, 1234 and I'm all set =)
Thats really cool. What about when you need to type in the number 1 or 2 as Text? Does it still work?
This is the best video I've seen so far for a FCPX beginnner.
BROTHER, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! You oooh really helped me!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Great video... how did you do that bouncing arrow around 6:40?
Look up keyframing in Final Cut Pro X. I have a tutorial on it.
I am new to final cut pro and your videos are just awesome and helpful
cool
Thanks for the video! So if you close the Library projects.... what do you do if you want to go back to that project again in the future to make changes to the edit... is there a way to re-open the edit?
Your videos are getting better all the time. Thanks.
Thanks Francisco
Extremely helpful. Exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you
👍🏼
I was looking for the tip of sound syncing. Thanks!
The CTRL-V for the title animations has just made me so angry and happy at the same time!
I wasted so much time messing around with keyframes, this will help so much - thank you!
You just blowed my mind LOL
I've been using FCPX for more than 2 years now, and still got some new tips and shortcuts from this video!
Amazing! thank you!
Awesome!
at 12:36
u used transition and a sound effect.
i really need those.
please tell me where can i get those two things with proper info.
the transition is built in to FCPX, it's called Slide In. The sound effect you might find on Freesound.org. Search for Swoosh, Whip, Whoosh. I don't remember exactly where I found these transitions. Check the FCPX audio library.
helped a lot for making the switch! great tips!
Hey man, its great to see you stop by my channel. I've learned a lot from you as well.
This is a short cut tutorial...
Fantastic! Tons of help really.. 80-90% of those I didn't even know existed. Many thanks!
👍🏼
Do you talk about how you can manipulate text from the custom text selection in any of your videos?
Yes, I have a video about that if you look at the archive
Use the range tool (R) for selecting an area where you want to paste (Q) something. In your case the adjustment layer or title. Just select the area and press Q. the footage will appear exactly on the selected area. But you gave me some good tips! I loved your video.
Oh man, I am going to try that. Thanks.
Great video mate, learnt a lot
Excellent tutorial. I am relatively new to Final Cut Pro X, and you upped my game in less than 15 minutes. Time well-spent! Thank you!
Man, I am glad I can cut down your learning curve. Let me know if you have any problems.
is there a way to control the position and scale of a clip with the keyboard?
Thanks for this beautiful 'illustrated-fact-filled' video. Wasn't much interested in using shift+[ ] commands in the past, but, after seeing this video, I will try to use it more often! Also, I just loved your method of adjusting the zoom by scaling down the video to 25% and then making the adjustments! I am blessed with your videos. May God bless you abundantly.
Thank you!
I want to know whether there are any shortcuts to cutting audio or video clips in the angle viewer while editing a multicam?

I am sure you will, you just have to use it often. Make sure to watch my other FCPX tutorials.
@@MarcosRochaTV, I will most definitely watch more.
I enjoyed the video and i learn alot about FCPX. Please this kind of video always
hi thanks for the great video and could you give us the link for the adjustment layer plz thanks
I will be updating the adjustment layer soon. Look out for the video.
If i may ask, usually how much ISO do you use with your SLOG.2 footage? Still struggling to find the right exposure amount for best colour output
Very Helpful tutorial!! Marcos Rocha, by the way is your name from portuguese or spanish? im from Angola and speak portuguese, presiso saber se que camera usaste, pra filmar este video? obrigado. i need to know wish camera did you shut this clips? thanks

Halo Marcos thanks for the video, I have a question.. How to delete the color wheels if I want to use curve instead.. Thank you
Select the Color Wheels in the Inspector and tap the Delete Button. You can also disable the Color Wheels by tapping on the check box next to it.
Thanks Marcos, very useful tips. Enjoyed this tutorial and love your presentation style and manner.
👍🏼
i learned a lot within in the first couple of mins. had to subscribe to come back and watch some more of your videos ... keep up the great work

It's a useful tutorial, Thanks a lot.

Thank you Mr Rocha, keep up the good work!
thanks man
Do you think it’s still necessary to use an external drive even with a 3 tb iMac?
It all depends how much video files you have. If you have a lot of footage, Video files can quickly fill up 3TB. I shoot a lot of Video and I have an 8TB External Hard Drive where I store all my files. I would highly recommend getting a 1TB or a 2TB External Hard Drive where you keep all your video files and you edit off of that. Then see how quickly it fills up.
Marcos Rocha Thank you!
great video dude. more of these please
More coming up!
Short and easy thank you
What screen capture software do you use to make these videos?
Quicktime
So when I cut a piece of my video using Command-B (as you show at 11:12 in this video), to single out that one piece of the clip to add emphasis - it seems like it's glitching at that very point when I upload. Am I doing something wrong here ? Or does that seem like a final cut pro glitch?
Wooow thank you so much.... CMD + B is what I was looking for!
Bryan thats awesome
Thanks for the video. so much great info stuffed into it. Im using PP and considering FCX because Im using an older mac and FCX seems to work way faster.
Yes FCPX is much faster at exporting.
Hi Marcos, Great info here! Do you have tutorials on the skimmer and drop zones? I trying to put a video collage together with a plugin and I'm having trouble syncing the videos together.
super useful tips! Thank you for making this !!
yep
thank you for this video tips! how can I create a level of adjustment layer where did the color correction?
th-cam.com/video/_Lo0FOAz1ec/w-d-xo.html
the most helpful video! thank you!
👍🏼
Super helpful. Thank you.
at what bitrate do you upload your videos to youtube?
Great info as always Marcos! Can you tell me what fonts you use on your thumbnails?
You can try Montserrat or Halis
Watched the whole video and learned a lot. Would appreciate more of those
Amazing tips!! Thank you SO much for this video. I know my editing process is going to improve so much, and be quicker, from here on out!
Sorry I'm new to this. Where can I find an Adjudgment Layer or how can I create one?
Great question, here's how you make one: th-cam.com/video/_Lo0FOAz1ec/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much, Marcos
Thanks Bro... This Video is Very useful
Great to hear
As always a very helpful video, cheers Marcos
thanks Shane
I am not able to open XDCAM file from drive in the FCP x 10.4.3 . It is showing green screen with no audio and video . please help
I am not sure what is going on there?
This was so good. Took me a while to find you but well worth it!!
Im glad you found it useful.
Thanks for the video Marcos, much appreciated. I'm working on FCP X version 10.4 and none of my titles seem to have any keyframe options in the inspector. They have boxes to adjust the position of the text but there are no keyframe boxes next to them like there are on your video to let you animate the motion. What am I doing wrong?
I am not sure, but I am gonna have to make another video about keyframing.
Great Content - look forward to more
Love your wedding slideshow.. What camera/lenses diid you use and what final editing programme/s? Thanks for the tutorial..
Kudos... Very informative video... Thanks....
adjustment layer: how do I make one? not what they do, I get that. how would I go about creating one myself? I have Motion & FCPX. thanks for the excellent tutorials.
You came to the right place. Here's a video I made just about that: th-cam.com/video/_Lo0FOAz1ec/w-d-xo.html
thank you, I knew it had to be something simple. Just another good reason to have Motion as part of the FCPX package. @@MarcosRochaTV
Fab tutorial ...thanks
Dope vid. Great explanation and loved the lighting used for your sample
Hey Richard, thanks for stopping by man!
Excellent video, thanks...
Thanks Dennis!
Right to the point. Thanks.
Nice Videos bro!
👍🏼
Marcos! You just answered so many questions I've had....right to the point, clearly explained.
Thanks, brother!
-jS
good to hear James 😁
Can you add ease in/ease out to animation keyframes?
Yeah, I have to explain it in a future video.
Very helpful. Thank you!
You got it Michael. Thanks!
Love it! Thanks!!
👍🏼
I really love the technique you used to edit your video. I tried using the same keys to edit a voice over audio clip in my video but it kept cutting and making changes in the clip and not the audio. I had to keep clicking on the audio to make sure the keys made the changes on the audio and not the video. Do you have any suggestions ?
It defaults to the main clip and not the audio. You have to select the audio like you said.
okay, i figured they'd have a short cut for that. Would you recommend keys in that case o would it be faster using the mouse ?
I don't know of a shortcut for that. I usually sync my audio with my video clips and then I group them together by creating a Compound Clip.
I always film my voice overs after I edit the video so that doesn't exactly work for me, hopefully apple gives us a way.
Have you seen this video I did on VOICEOVERS? it might be useful: th-cam.com/video/11TccAVdHhg/w-d-xo.html
Great tutorial man
Thanks a lot ! Very useful...
for sure!
how do u take off color scopes
