- Hey, it's Justine,
and today we are checking out
Final Cut Pro for the iPad.
Now I've been using this for about a week
and I really like it,
but here's the thing that I'm gonna tell you.
If you are a traditional editor
coming from Final Cut on desktop,
or even Premiere,
and you've never really used
any type of touch-based editing,
I would suggest
forgetting everything that you know
and come into this with a completely new mind.
Because I jumped into this
thinking I was gonna be editing
like I do on the desktop,
and I got a little frustrated.
Because a lot of the things
that I would do on my desktop,
you do them a little bit differently here
which is way more efficient for touch,
and sometimes it can actually be faster.
So once I kind of got over that hurdle
and just forgot everything that I knew
and came into this
like I've never edited before,
I really, really started loving it.
A few things that I would like
that this would do,
is have external drive support.
You can plug in a drive
and save all of those files
into your library,
but you can't edit
directly off of an external drive.
I also wish that you could send it to your Mac
and then send that library back,
but once you send it to the Mac,
you can't bring the library back
and continue to edit.
I do hope in a next version
or in an update
that those are some things
that they will allow.
But for now, here it is.
Okay, so I'm gonna start a new project.
You can make your project name,
so I'm gonna say "Scuba Jus,"
that's me.
This automatically has it set at 59.94 frames.
We're gonna do 24 frames per second.
And when we hit next,
this is where you decide
where you import your footage from.
You can import from photos, files,
you can start completely blank,
or you can even record
with the iPad camera,
which is pretty cool.
And to import them,
you basically just drag
and then you click add,
and this will automatically create your project
and it'll download
all of that media from the cloud.
And as you can see,
all of my stuff is here
and ready to edit.
Now we have a couple of options over here.
We have this insert
so you can overwrite at playhead,
insert at playhead,
connect at playhead,
or append to storyline.
So I'm gonna put this entire clip into here
because this is kind of
a little story that I'm telling,
and I'm gonna add some B-roll
and stuff over top of it.
- [Video] I just finished my first part
of getting scuba certified here.
- All of the clips are super easy to adjust.
You can just drag
and it'll automatically clip it right there.
So I'm gonna do the same at the end here.
Dragging this all the way across here
can get a little tiring.
So they have this thing called the jog wheel
which you can access right up here,
and this brings up a little wheel,
and this allows you to scrub
through the timeline really, really fast.
And this is what really kind of
flipped the switch for me of like,
"Oh, I get it."
Everything is kind of made
to be sort of edited like this,
if that makes sense.
Like you kind of have access
and the reachability
is all in here.
So you have your inspect, volume,
animate, multicam,
and you have all of your buttons down here
to be able to trim, delete, select,
and everything is just
within your thumbs' reach.
That for me was kind of like
when my mind switched into like, "Oh."
Everything that I knew before
I'm gonna forget
and completely relearn it.
Okay, so right here
there's kind of a space,
so I'm gonna hit this
little select button down here,
and then I can zoom in to see,
okay, I don't want that anymore.
Delete.
Play.
- [Video] One of the most difficult parts
was having to take off my mask
while I'm under the water and then put-
- So now I'm just gonna delete
this rest of this clip
and it makes it so easy
'cause you can just hit this
little button right here,
that gets rid of everything
to the right-hand side of it
and it'll just keep that clip.
Now I do like having the keyboard
for things like hitting up,
and it'll take you to the beginning of clips,
hitting down,
I also love just being able to hit spacebar.
So nice.
So those types of things
I've still been using the keyboard for.
You don't have to,
but it's just easy
because the keyboard's there.
Most of the shortcut keys
have transferred over from Final Cut.
So if you are familiar with those,
a lot of them will work here as well.
Okay, this video's great,
we love it, it's vertical.
Great. That's a mistake.
So we're gonna put one of these backgrounds,
gonna add in this one,
and then we're just gonna drag it to the end.
Love to see it.
So now I'm gonna add a title.
There's a bunch of custom titles in here
that they already have pre-made.
Since I'm lazy,
we're gonna just drag this one right here,
and I'm gonna change that to say,
"Diving in the Maldives."
Inside of the inspector,
this gives you a lot of different options,
like you could change the font,
the size, color.
I'm fine with this.
- [Video] I just finished my first-
- We've also got effects.
So when you scroll through here,
we've got a bunch of different effects.
There's hard lights,
and I think that's a little too harsh,
so I'm actually gonna add it to 0.51.
That looks great.
Gonna go in here to the volume
in this inspector tab,
we're gonna go back in here
and go to the audio.
This lets you turn the volume up.
You also have voice isolation.
So I'm gonna turn that to about 25.
Gonna add some loudness.
Let's see what that sounds like.
- [Video] I just finished my first part of
getting scuba certified here-
- Okay, now let's start adding in
some clips over top of this.
- [Video] This is something
that I originally was gonna be doing in Catalina.
- So I'm talking about getting certified.
So I'm gonna scroll up here,
and these are our in-and-out points.
Now the thing you can also do is you can
hit these little arrows
to get your in-and-outs,
or, because I love shortcut keys,
you can I or O.
And then this is where we're gonna wanna change
this up here.
So we're gonna wanna do connect at playhead,
because that's gonna allow it
to go over top of this footage.
Now, again,
because I'm a keyboard freak,
I would usually hit Q,
but because we are in
our touch-based environment,
we'll just hit connect.
I'm gonna start that here.
And then we're gonna turn that volume down
because we don't want that volume.
We want me talking.
- [Video] This is something that I originally
was gonna be doing in Catalina
with my sister,
but I figure this place is so beautiful
and it's one of the best-
- You can add a picture here.
Connect.
- [Video] Head start.
- So the one thing I will note is,
if you do forget
if you're in the volume
and you're trying to edit these clips,
click out of that
and that'll let you get back to your clips.
So let's make this a little bit shorter.
Love it.
I think I might wanna put
another clip over top of here.
Connect, volume, down.
- [Video] Sport person.
I'm not like the strongest of swimmers,
but like I clearly-
- Trim the end.
Let's add a transition here.
Let's do a zoom and pan,
can drag it right to our clip.
- [Video] I clearly can actually swim,
which I didn't even know that I could do.
- You can also drag this up
if you want to see more of your timeline.
And I'm gonna be adding
some more things in here.
So I'm gonna go into my options and appearance,
and I'm going to adjust
this clip height a little bit,
so I can get more real estate here.
This is all lovely,
but let's add some music
'cause it's a little boring.
I need some tunes.
Now these soundtracks
that are built into Final Cut,
these are dynamic.
So when you choose a song,
watch this magic.
So you can see this thing is so long,
so I'm gonna go to about right here
and we are going to
trim off the rest of it.
And did you see that?
Did you see that?
It automatically adjusted.
So when I drag it,
the end adjusts.
(orchestral music)
Oh, my God, it's perfect.
It's beautiful,
it's beautiful.
I freaking love it!
We also got some objects here.
Let's add a little thumbs up.
- [Video] Like the strongest of swim-
- You can move them all around.
It's so intuitive.
Love it.
Let's go back
and add another little clip here,
maybe like a little turtle.
Oh, he's so cool.
I'm gonna add that right here.
Volume down.
- [Video] Didn't even know that I could do.
- Live type.
Here we go.
Now you see the live drawing
shows up right here.
There it is.
I want this to be a little slower.
So I'm gonna adjust this
so that this ends about right here.
So we go into our inspector,
and you can edit that right here
with your draw time.
So I want it to be about right here.
(upbeat music)
It's pretty slow, right?
But that's the vibe that I was going for.
So let's film a quick little video here.
Since I'm back from diving,
I wanna let everyone know
I survived and I got certified.
They have some new added tools here.
So you can adjust the exposure.
So, let's-
Okay, we're gonna adjust it to about,
oh my gosh, wow,
this is really close to my face.
Okay.
And then we're gonna do the color temperature.
Actually that looks,
that looks pretty good to me.
And then we're gonna hit record.
Hi!
So I am back from diving,
I had so much fun
and I actually got scuba certified
for my open water diving,
and it was the most fun ever.
Here's a picture of me and my instruction-
I messed up, so hold on.
Here's the picture of me
and my instructor, Morgan.
She was so incredible and so patient,
and I had the best time.
Can't wait to go back to the Maldives.
Okay, we did that.
Hit done.
And that will pop up in our library.
So let's change this here.
Let's append to story.
So that'll automatically add it
right where we left off.
- [Video] Hi!
So I am back from diving, I had-
- So I talked about,
I had so much fun diving.
Where did I mess up?
Okay, so I'll just hit this here,
and then I hit the little slice button,
and then slice again.
Can delete that.
- [Video] Here's the picture of me
and my instructor, Morgan.
- Let's find our picture of me and Morgan.
There's a photo.
And there's a photo.
Okay, there we go.
There's our photo.
I'll actually make this
a little bit bigger,
and I'm gonna move myself over.
- [Video] Here's a picture of me and-
And my instructor, Morgan.
She was so incredible and so patient,
and I've had the best time.
Can't wait to go back to the Maldives.
- And there's our video.
You can do some color correction here.
We can change our exposure.
I'm actually gonna close this
so I can see my color a little bit better.
I'm gonna add a little saturation,
turn the black points up a little,
change the tint just a tad,
make it a little bit warmer.
And there we go.
You can turn this on and off
by clicking disable.
So you can see the color on,
off, on, off.
We'll keep it on.
So I like to be a little more
particular with my audio.
So I'm gonna go in here into the volume
and I'm gonna actually add my own key frame.
This is the key frame button right here.
So I'm gonna hit that,
and then I'm gonna go over here,
make another one.
So over here we have to use
our little jog wheel,
and this will let you turn the volume
up and down.
- [Video] So I had to go through
all sorts of things today.
- And then I want the audio
to go back down like about here,
just like that.
So that's some of the basics
of Final Cut here for iPad.
Something else that I love,
I'm gonna start a whole new project here
just to show you the multicam feature.
So we're gonna click down here
for new multicam.
We're gonna select our clips.
"Unboxing."
We're gonna synchronize using audio.
There we have it.
Our multicam is right here.
I freaking love multicam.
It's one of my favorite Final Cut features.
So you basically edit by touch
so you can just choose which angle you want.
Look at this, I'm coming in.
Now as I drop the package,
I'm gonna cut to two.
So I come in,
here's the package,
looks great,
cut back to me,
and then I talk too much.
So let's just cut
to where I start actually unboxing.
So I start unboxing right about here.
So I'm gonna delete everything before it.
I'm gonna use the jog wheel
to cut to about right here.
And then where do I actually do anything else?
I start taking it out right about here.
So I'm gonna delete everything before that.
Let's see if this works.
Copy.
Here we're gonna paste it.
We're gonna put that on top.
So I'm able to nudge this
to line it directly up with the bottom.
See, we're gonna move this over.
I'm actually going to crop it.
Here we go.
We're gonna move that right there.
And then that should give us
a nice two shot
and then it cuts back to the bag.
Now, another new feature
that they have on here
is background removal.
So here's me talking.
Let's go into our effects,
scroll down to the scene removal mask,
and there we go.
It did a pretty decent job.
So I could actually
improve this a little bit.
I can cut out the bottom.
I'm gonna add a new background.
Vapor, drag this under there.
Oh yeah, let's add some text.
Gonna use that jog wheel,
nudge that over.
And there we have it.
It's not bad at all.
So that, my friends,
is Final Cut Pro for the iPad.
I am so excited
for the future of touch-based editing.
I feel like it really is
the next generation way of editing.
I edit so much on my phone,
but to be able to have a bigger device,
something that is purely dedicated
to the Final Cut ecosystem,
I'm so excited about it.
I have started a little notepad
of a wishlist of things that I want
and some questions that I have.
So if you guys have any questions
or wishlist of things
that you would like to see included
in the new Final Cut for iPad,
please leave me some comments below.
