In this video I go over two different ways to cut to the beat in Final Cut Pro. Being able to edit to music is essential as an editor and being able to cut to the beat of the music in an efficient way is really easy. I also have a few additional tips in this video to help you improve your edits.

What genre of music is your favourite to edit to? Let me know in the comments below 😊👇🏼

@weeklyfascination Жыл бұрын

As always, loving the content! The second edit of the desert video was much more interesting to watch. As far as editing, it depends on the video and the song, but it helps if the track has drums and is in 4/4 time. You can also take a 3 minute song and shorten it instead of fading out. If you know the chord progression, take the ending and add it to the end of the first verse, for example. The end result: short song with great into and great ending.

@Brad_West 11 ай бұрын

Glad you enjoyed this video. You can drag a new clip from the browser on top of the original and wait a second for the popup where you can choose to replace the clip. Or, you can simply delete the one and add a new one in it's place. If you are struggling with deleting a clip which causes other clips to disappear then this video on the Magnetic Timeline might help you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNWeipiLytOXinU.html

Ah, you must have the shorter keyboard. Alternatively you can use the shortcut Cmd + Alt + ⬆️ to lift the clip from storyline and then you can hit the backspace key. Same result, although it’s an extra step. It is probably a little quicker than going via the edit menu 😊👍🏼

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that. Is there anything else that you would like to see a tutorial on?

How did you insert a video placeholder as primary clip for cutting to the beat which will then be replaced by actual selected clips? Thanks in advance.

You can add a gap clip to the primary storyline using the shortcut Option W 😄👍🏼

@brad_west Is there any efficient way to save the remainder of the clips used? For example I have 30 second clips of scenery but I don’t want to use just 5 seconds and dispose of the clip… I want to use that 5 seconds and have the remainder left to use elsewhere. The closest I got to salvaging clips this way, was throwing my clips in gap clip markers, then entering advanced timeline mode where I saw the entire clip, but I’m not able to do anything there.

One workflow that might work for you in that instance is to have a separate broll timeline. I do that when I have a lot of broll and I want to cut out as many useable portions as possible. So you have a totally separate timeline and you grab your broll from there. All the unused portions stay in the timeline and if you want to use another section of it, you jump back into that timeline and grab some more. Hope that helps 🤞🏼
