This is a great way to get to your rough cut without having to worry about all the different ISOs, or isolated audio tracks, that were recorded on set. You can check out a quick video tutorial on the Animation Editor in FCPX right here.įCPX organizes audio channels embedded in the same video clip into what is known as a Component, essentially multiple audio channels wrapped up together into one container of sorts. You can also use the Range tool to lasso various Video Effect parameters in the Video Animation Editor in the same way. Simply hit R for range tool, lasso the portion of the audio you'd like to lower or raise and voilà! Instant keyframes. The Range Toolįinal Cut Pro's nifty Range tool is essentially a quick way to create four keyframes simultaneously in order to lower or raise the volume of a portion of a clip.
Also if you know the precise timecode in a clip you are looking for this is a quick and easy way to skim through and find that too. This is useful when you want to keep your clips in filmstrip view and don't have access to the triangle drop-down to reveal your keywords for a particular clip. Also if you head up to VIEW -> BROWSER and select SKIMMER PREVIEW, when you hover over a clip in the Browser you'll now get a little pop up revealing its keywords. With the Skimming function turned on (keyboard shortcut: S) your cursor is essentially a mobile playhead that can skim footage in the browser, the timeline-or even skim over pre-sets in the effects browser to preview them (more on that later). Check out the video tutorial below, skim through the article for the highlights, and see if you can spot the one feature that is available in other NLEs. With all this in mind, I wanted to take a look at some of the more day-to-day tasks an editor may be called upon to do on any given project and explore 10 ways in which FCPX sets itself apart from the other NLEs on the market in order to achieve some of these things. Organizing your media, doing temp mixes of audio, animating photos, utilizing effects to create different styles and just plain watching the footage. Sometimes editing is about the everyday, mundane tasks you end up doing with most of your time.
However, it’s not always about the new fancy codec support or the robust new finishing tools and motion graphics. With the addition of some killer color tools, HDR, and now ProRes RAW support, FCPX is shaping up to be a real contender in the world of NLEs. Here are 10 reasons FCP stands out from the NLE pack.įinal Cut Pro X has been churning out some great, pro-focused updates in the last year or so.
