Previous versions of Final Cut weren’t fine-tuned for color correcting and color grading, but after recent upgrades, you can now take care of every step of the post-production process in one place.
UPGRADE TO COLOR FINALE PRO PRO
Color Grading Final Cut Pro X supports color correcting and color grading. To do this, right-click on a video or audio clip and hit Assign Video Roles or Assign Audio Roles, and then you can choose the category for the clip. Right-click a video or audio clip to assign a role. Basically, using these roles is just a way to categorize your audio clips in a way that keeps your head from exploding while you edit. Keeping your audio clips labeled by assigning “roles” will help when your edit gets more complicated. Assigning Roles Assigning roles to your clips will pay off later when your project is more complicated.įCPX excels at organization. You won’t have to go in and set keyframes yourself - or add transitions. This saves you time raising or lowering audio. Hit the R key, and lasso the part of the clip you want tweaked, and it should apply the keyframes instantly. This applies four keyframes simultaneously so you can lower or raise the volume of a clip. The Range Tool The Range Tool helps you adjust audio easily. This way you don’t have to apply the effect first before actually seeing what it will do to the clip. One cool aspect of FCPX is how the effects integrated into the system play into your editing workflow. So when you’re actually deciding which effect to use on a clip, just hover over the effect in the effect browser, and it will automatically apply to the clip selected on the timeline. Using Effects Mouse over a selection in the effect browser, and you can preview how it will look on your clip. This is just another example of how FCPX is great for quick editing - you can fly through and make your changes at the end once you’ve finished v1 of your video. Just go to Edit > Find and Replace Text, then swap out the wrong spelling with the correct one by hitting Replace All.
The find and replace tool allows you to instantly change any misspelled or unwanted words. Whether you’re editing documentaries, weddings, news packs, or vlogs, you’re bound to have a lot of titles, lower thirds, and quotes. Find and Replace Text Tool The Find and Replace Text tool is a good way to review titles and lower thirds. Once you’ve found the right clip, you can set your in and out points by dragging the yellow ends of the clip to fit whatever length you need. This will save you a lot of time if you’re editing a documentary or something with a ton of footage. With clips viewed as filmstrips in the event browser, you can easily scrub through your clips without opening them in the source monitor. Marking In and Out on Your Clip Set your in and out points in the preview filmstrip. This will leave an empty space where the clip used to be. But you can avoid this by pressing Fn while you delete the clip.
After you’ve done this, if you delete a clip, the rest of the timeline will be “magnetized” back and fill the gap. So to turn off the magnetic timeline, just Press P, or go down and set the timeline to Position. Turn off the magnetic timeline by pressing “P.” If you’re editing very quickly, this can come in handy as you pick and place your clips down sequentially, but, realistically, that’s not how most of us edit. Basically, when you place your clips down on the timeline, it auto-sets them to be the next-playing clip. One of the most contentious arguments for people avoiding FCPX is the magnetic timelines. Magnetic Timeline The magnetic timeline has been a contentious issue for many users.
