K'aiza K'aiza everyone welcome back to
yet another video! on this channel we
want to help you make your video look
good, we want to help you make your video
look better, we want to help you
in your content creation process and
today
it's all gonna be about editing faster.
3 tips
on how to edit your video faster in
final cut pro let's get it!!!
All right guys this video is not going
to be long because I really just want to
give you guys these
three tips and hopefully you guys will
find some value in them or maybe just
something to start with. I actually have
a question at the end because I really
want to make a detailed video of each
one of these tips
so don't miss that question because it
will help me know
what content should I create next.
So here's the first tip,
you have to make or create or develop
your own workflow. A workflow is very
important because it's your routine, it's
how you do things, and i know it can help
to see another person's workflow or to
learn from another content creator but
the truth is
you will have to create your own
workflow.
It's something that works for you. So let
me give you guys an example really quick
and again i'm not going to go into the
details of this yet
but this is what I do. When I finish
importing all my clips
in final cut pro. so i start with the
first clip immediately and import that
on the timeline on the main storyline
and i cut it, i trim it, i take away what
i don't need,
and then when i'm done with that first
clip then i move on to the next one
and then when i finish with that i
continue immediately with the music. Yes
i do
the music first and that's what works
for me the music.
And then when i'm done with the music i
will add some sound effects if needed
but uh before that i actually add some
presets, some text presets
uh some animation presets and all that
stuff that i created.
And so that's my initial edit right
there.
yeah but talking about preset right that
will be my second
tip. Create your own preset, use presets
especially something that you use all
the time. So i talked about this in one
of my video and i'm gonna link that
right up here but uh it's important that
you have some presets of the things that
you always do.
and you just you know drag them and drop
them. The good thing about
the video, the kind of video that i'm
doing on youtube is that i'm always
in the same area with the same kind of
light.
i control the light everything is kind
of the same
so i created a preset color correcting
and color grading for me
in this room and with this setting with
these lights
and every time i edit when i finish
cutting and trimming and putting all the
presets and animated presets text preset
and music and
sound effects and all of that i just put
an adjustment layer on top of everything
on my timeline and then i put the color
correction there. i
put the color grading there. i would do
the same thing with the audio as well.
i'm working with the same mic in the
same room
all the time when i'm talking like this,
and one of those days probably i'm gonna
go out
and you know have some have some fun
outside and i will
have to deal with the audio differently
but now that i'm using this
mic in this room all the time i just
created a preset
the kind of audio that i like with all
the settings that i like
and the effects that i like so yeah i
have it as a preset so i just drag and
drop it
in my audio and i will i will be done.
okay the last tip
of today the third tip of today is to
learn
the key short no the keyboard shortcut
not key short cut board board cut
keyboard shortcuts. i mean there's a lot
of them in there and you can check it
out right here
uh in final cut pro preferences or i
think command
and then you will see all these
shortcuts right there but you don't need
to learn
everything you only need to learn or
memorize the keyboard shortcuts that you
use the most
and you'll be fine. how to trim from the
head or how to trim from the end and how
to cut,
how to change volume, how to change uh
speed,
how to freeze frame, and you know things
like that, the things that you use the
most for youtube video.
and i'm going to give you guys an
example really quick. these are some of
the keys that i usually use
and again i'm not going to go into the
details yet that's my question coming up
right now
but these are some of the keys. okay so
if i want to import my clip onto the
timeline i just press
w that's really cool right there, and
then if i want to add a clip
at the end of the timeline i would just
press
e or if i want to add a title or a
preset
or anything that will go on top of this
storyline,
these are called connected clips i
believe, and for this i just press q
and that's it the footage will go on top
of the storyline.
if i want to make a cut at a certain
point in the clip
i just use these keyboards command b, and
it will make a cut
and then if i want to trim then i just
use the option
bracket either left or right. those are
some of the really great and really cool
shortcuts that i always use and they're
a part of my workflow and you guys can
do the same to create your own workflow,
use some presets, and then learn some
keyboard shortcuts.
okay so here's the question of the day
which one of those three tips would you
guys want to see in my next video?
okay whatever you guys gonna pick out of
those three i'm gonna make a detailed
video
about that and hopefully it will be
something that will help you in a
content creation. all right guys that's
