I honestly can't believe this is free to the public. Thank you, endlessly.

Thank you for all the hard work and content you put in for us. Your production is always top tier. Just wanted to take time and remind you how much we appreciate you, man!

This is a phenomenal overview of this program. I use this with my students. I greatly appreciate that he discusses the importance of setting up folders before the project and establishing whether or not you trust Apple to handle your media files (or create endless massive backups that clog your computer). Super helpful and concise!

Thank you for taking the time out to do this Beginner Tutorial, as I am starting to move forward as a content creator. I hope you continue to dive deeper into Final Cut Pro!

I've been editing in FCPX for years and apparently have been doing it all wrong for years! Thank you so much for making such an amazing and detailed video! I appreciate you showing us how you organize your clips and creating libraries for each project. This makes so much more sense!

I was searching for this exact video yesterday and wasn't finding the right video and then bam! You literally read my mind thank you Tyler!! Always great content.

I love the amount of time you dedicate to the magnetic timeline feature. It’s such an unique and important feature of FCP. It certainly isn’t the most intuitive thing to learn, but once people get the touch of it, it makes me scratch my head to edit with DaVinci and Premier… I highly appreciate the weight and explanations you put into this starter video for FCP.

Excellent overview, Tyler! I especially love the emphasis on working *_with_* the Magnetic Timeline instead of against it - that it's what makes FCP really exceptional in comparison to the other NLEs. One pro tip! Changing the clip connection is a great way to move clips while leaving connecting clips alone - an even faster method is to press and hold the grave key ( ` ) - which is to the left of the number 1 key on US keyboards - and that enables the "override connections" function so you can move a clip that has other clips connected to it without those connected clips moving too. When you're done with the move the previously connected clips connect to whatever new clip takes the old clip's place. A HUGE timesaver and especially helpful to folks who are editing a lot of images to music and/or using sound effects. Love your FCP vids!

Thank you for this tutorial! It is super helpful! Especially on cache and library management. Wish I'd knew it way earlier.

Thanks, Tyler. I am a long-time animator using AE that has started filming and editing. This was a huge help!

Thank you Tyler for this amazing beginner tutorial. You made this easy to understand.

Whoa, hold the phone! This tutorial is an absolute game-changer! Seriously, where have you been all my editing life? I mean, I'm not gonna lie, I've had my fair share of struggles with FCP. But your clear and precise instruction is helping me to become an editing ninja! I can't thank you enough for sharing your expertise and showing me the ropes. It's like you're reading my mind, knowing exactly what I need to up my editing game. You're a wizard, my friend, and I'm forever grateful for your mad skills! Looking forward to watching all of your FCP tips!

Great video and excellent content Tyler! You're a workflow wizard! Thanks for making the playlist. I will definitely keep sharing your content.

Thank you for this Tyler, agreed i always keep coming back to FCP made the switch to resolve a while back but since covid i have been appreciating FCP again as the workflow is just so much better for fast quick turnaround edits for social content. Learned some great tips on this video thank you.

I've been using FCP for a decade, and have gotten used to some time consuming habits rather than finding the best/better way. I knew I'd learn something useful by watching this and as it turns out I learned 2 things. Previously to trim I always used cmd+B then deleted the section I didn't want, now I'll use opt+[ or ] Same with the clip anchors, I never knew you could easily change the anchor, so I would cut the clip (cmd+b) to regenerate a new anchor then extend it back to the desired length.

As someone who is NOT a tech-savvy person and who is having to teach himself FCP after a quick initial lesson from an editor friend, I just want to let you know your content is wonderful. Your demeanor is not obnoxious or "youtuber"-ish and you don't clutter your videos with needless asides. Well done, all around. From one ginger to another. *fistbump*

This is a treasure trove! Amazing tutorial. I'll be using it over the summer to prepare for my post-production course this fall. This video probably helped my GPA!

Really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Trying to get my bearings around this tool.

Thanks Tyler, I’m a year in to FCP and still find new things all the time, especially with your videos. 🙌🏻🇬🇧

Wow! I am SO impressed with this tutorial! You are precise with your words, efficient with your instruction and cover exactly what I need to know to get started. I really appreciate you adding the bit about where to store files, so that I don't have duplicates taking up space on my computer. This drove me insane with iMovie. Thanks again. I will definitely be watching more of your videos and am now subscribed to your channel.

Thank you Tyler. I’m considering getting FCP as a step up from iMovie (yes, I’m fairly new to video editing) so this was immensely useful as an introduction as to what to expect. Some great tips in there too.

Thanks for the video Tyler! I’ve been a FCP user for years and still learned some nifty shortcuts.

Thank you so much Tyler for creating this amazingly informative content! This is tremendously helpful as I am just about to start using Final Cut Pro. You have gained a new fan!

You are an answered prayer! am self learning (w/ aid from amazing folks like you) on many things like FCP and i am mostly retired, 50yo. i am ❤ all the into!

That one graphic at 7:00 cleared up the relationships among Libraries, Events and Projects. I have been confused about those three for the longest time. Thank you for making it clear. Finally.

Wow that was such an awesome video! I struggle with learning shortcuts + this has been the first video that was of a good learning gradient for me. Love the way you explain things!

Thanks Tyler, this is helpful for someone like me who is fumbling through learning how to video and edit content and not doing the greatest job of it but learning as I go.

What a great video, thank you Tyler, top tier production and tips for this getting started video.

Amazing video! I'm a beginner starting out from a different software and this was super helpful.

Great Tutorial, been using PR and now thought of switching! Thanks for the effort for the video!

Love your channel thanks for all of your hard work Tyler!

Thank you. This might be the overall best tutorial video I have ever seen!

Thank you Tyler, it's a super useful video for a beginner! Learned so much!

Great video, Even as a pro videographer i always find something new in these videos that i never even knew about that makes life so much easier. So Thank you for making this videos

Making the switch from Premiere to FCP and this series has for sure helped!

I can't even begin to say how helpful this video is, thanks so much!

Really great beginner video. Appreciate you taking the time to make these videos for us that are learning...

This is mindblowing, helping me a lot. :) Thank you for all the efforts you put in :)

Thank you so much! I’ve used iMovie for years and finally have FCP and this is the best video so far

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm a Premiere Pro editor through and through and nothing in Final Cut seems to make any sense to me but this made things a little clearer. I want to switch for the performance increase etc but I'm working so much slower on it I'm still losing time, just in different areas, haha

Thank you for all the hard work and content you put in for us. Your production is always top tier. Just wanted to take time and remind you how much we appreciate you, man! Also just how much PR thinks they're giving us the time but they aren't, PR just sucks...

great tutorial! I just started using Final Cut Pro today. This really helped me to get started.

YAAAAY!! Nice to see the shout out for Stocksy, Tyler! And was psyched to see one of my shots at 9:18 !!!

I always wondered what FCP looked like. Thank you so much for the video!

I’ve just started on FCPX and I absolutely couldn’t agree more with the sentiment that it’s actually more fun to edit in. Most things work as you expect and the UI is clean and intuitive. Love this video I’ll rewatch many times when I need help. Thanks so much Tyler! 😁

Thank you!

Just downloaded Final Cut today on my new Mac Book Pro recently bought a go pro to start some vlogging and vids while fishing, golfing, etc…. Stoked to dive into the video editing side of things

This is excellent. Thanks for putting this together.

Just the video I was looking for. Thank you Tyler!

Thanks Bro! It was a really great tutorial. Learned a lot.

I just bought a an iMac and along with it Final Cut. I always used to edit things on iMovie and this seems very similar to that except more technical. Thanks for all the tips, it was actually very helpful. I’m new to the channel and you just got a sub from me.

Amazing tutorial! Great tips and easy to follow.

I really loved this tutorial many thanks from Sweden 😍🙏

Thank you! Im new to FCP so your video is helping me a lot.

This is a terrific overview Tyler. Love the bit on media management. As someone working in FCP 7 and super intimidated of the Magnetic Timeline I love how you approached this and would love to see a video which focuses on just that. It would help me make the transition (finally)!!

Love this tutorial. Definitely a big help for a complete beginner like me!

just the video I needed. Thank you Tyler!

I just got an iMac to finally take advantage of having FCP (from when I worked for Apple some years back). Thank you for this!

Thanks for doing that for us I think this was a really really useful video for all of us budding video editors

Thank you for your really hard work You make it simple for us Thanks again

Great video, it was really helpful. Thanks

Love your channel ! Thanks from France 😉

First time user for Final Cut pro and you explain it so well, it's very easy to follow and you make it look easy XD Thanks for the cache deleting tip! That's definitely a laptop saver!

Great video Tyler!

Amazing video as always! Thank you!

Great video for a rookie like myself, its much appreciated!!

Thankyou so much for this Tutorial. 🙏

Great tutorial! Thank you!

I'd love a video like this about photo editing in Lightroom! Great tutorial, clean and simple.

Great tutorial! Im considering buying the program sometime in the near future

I've been wringing every last drop of editing juice out of iMovie for years but am finally taking the FCP plunge. Thanks so much for this video, I am headed over to your Libraries vid next!

Love how you implemented the sponsor, so seamless. Great video too!

Upgrading from iMovie. Thanks for the quick introduction!

amazing pacing for a beginner tutorial as well...thanks

Awesome info! Very informative. Thank you!!

Thank you sir, you make me happy when learning ❤ FCP is awesome too

Agree with you about the magnetic timeline %100. Is the best feature

What a great tutorial! Thanks.

Thank you so much Tyler for explaining this so simple, it's greatly appectied, It helps me understand the editting part of becoming a Travel Vlogger on YT, As someone who's never editted before or owns an Apple Product, will be purchasing a Macbook Pro 16" Max for my R5 to start YT next year!! Cheers from Ireland

Thank you so much! Awesome Video.

Fantastic Video - Subscribed!

Great job! Keep up the awesome tips.

This was great. I've just started to explore video and was using iMovie for editing. It was okay but I wanted to do more. I use Adobe CC for my photo editing, layout and illustration. So, I figured I'd use Premiere since it's included in my subscription. I watched a few tutorial videos and thought, "Ugh!", I have a lot to learn. Then I thought I'd check out your video introducing Final Cut. Wow! The interface is similar to iMovie. I understood everything you described. It's going to be Final Cut for me. THANKS again.

Excellent informative "how to". Thank you God Bless

Such useful info! Thanks!

Thanks very helpful video. Since this is my first time to use finacut.

Love the New Library tip!

Your content is better than most of the youtubers. Straight forward and professional

Man. You've got some of the best tutorials on KZfaq. If I did them it would essentially be me saying "then you click this thingy right here... wait no this one..." for 20 mins.

Great info! Much appreciated

this vid really helpt me! thanks!!!

Nice. Thanks for posting

Amazing review. ❤️❤️❤️

hey thanks for your video, that was great

Great video

Tyler, excellent videos I really learned a lot. Could you do a video on your multicam editing workflow? I would love to use your compound clip tips but that doesn't really work when I'm using a 4 angle multicam clip. Keep up the great work!

I used to love FCP back in 2007-2011 when I studied it, man how it changed ... So complicated now.. more the Pr.

Fantastic! Thank you.

Grazie!!!Great video!!!

Thank you sir......❤️ Your videos are 👌
