This thumbnail was EVERYTHING! Still lol-ing as the pre-roll ads are rolling 😂😂😂

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS 😩 I was just hooking up with the magnetic timeline earlier today! I hope this doesn't create a gap in our friendship, Matthew. Amazing amazing tutorial, brotha! Fantastic point that audio lanes in Final Cut wouldn't be possible without the magnetic timeline. I've never thought about that. Also, apparently I've been wrong this whole time. I also thought it was the tilde key lol. Side note, the fact that you don't have at least 100,000 subs at the moment is mind boggling to me.

Even if I learn nothing, I respect the thumbnail.

Outstanding! Your best video yet.

came because of thumbnail, intro from the bed would be icing on the cake !

A simply wonderful tutorial Matthew! Articulate (as always), concise, informative, descriptive, captivating and easy to follow. Extremely well done - one of your best yet! Thank you!

Fantastic video, thanks! As someone who has only ever used FCP as my video editing app, I never understood why people didn’t like the magnetic timeline. This video helps me understand it better, as well as all the workarounds that exist in FCP to help with other required scenarios. Thanks again!

I gotta give you credit… that’s a fantastic thumbnail pic!

Turning into one of my favorites youtubers , keep up the good work!!

Killer content Matthew! Great pace and editing examples explaining the “why” of these key features. Since watching your videos I really feel like my editing/ productivity is at new level every time! Gold for sure 👊 Thanks again, Jay

Mind Blowing Information - A Majority Of These Tips You Have Offered Are Completely Above My Skill Set - The Gap Feature So Rocks In Conjunction With Transitions - The Editing Music Tip Is Exactly What I Didn't Know I Needed - That Totally Makes Sense - Thank You - Will Play Around With Those Override Connections Just Because - Excellent Tutorial Brother Man - Be Well And Thanx Again Cheers

You had fun with that thumbnail. I clicked on it.

Great stuff as always Matthew! Salutations from astonishingly sunny & weirdly back to normal Ireland! ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘

I am not sure, what's better, the amount of useful tips or your great thumbnail 😂

Another great tutorial Matthew! Thank you

Such great info. Learned several cool tips. Thanks dude

I learned a lot in this one. Thank you

OK you've outdone yourself on the thumbnail..... Keep it up you'll get way more hits! Well done :-).

This is GOLD! I've started using FCPX just jumping at it, learning by doing (wrong...) and I'm enjoying going back to the school bench and systemising the knowledge.

I just move to FCPX from PR 6 days ago and now i'm in love with the magnetic timeline

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Loved these tips!

Bravo, Bravo!!! Great tips 👊🏾

Thank you! You've done such a great job as a teacher! I could never have figured out how to unconnect clips to sounds

What a useful tutorial thank you for sharing

I’ll watch later …but that thumbnail is genius! 🤣

i think it's not part of the magnetic timeline but the Trim(T) in the toolbox is also very important. you can select/move around part of your clip without moving the clip. by the way, thank you so much. I typed all the tools you mentioned. I'll print it and have it handy in my office in case i forget something.

thanks for this great tutorial. You are very good at explaining complex relationships in a few words, precisely and understandably.

I use the emotion and rhythm off a score to drive the pace, and your tip on attaching music to the blank clip at the start of the video is exactly what I needed. I often split up sections with a different songs, so not only could I place it at the beginning of the clip, but at the beginning of each song. This is really great. Thanks, Matthew!

This is one of the best thumbnails I have seen. It made me watch the video and I use Premier Pro!!

Thank you wery much from Zurich!

That thumbnail though! 🔥

I wish I had seen this video a month before (yes, I'm a beginner and I guess I have luck). You are right, it's mind blowing.

Once again, a Master Class in the new way to learn. People like Matthew here are exactly why colleges are going to be so not relevant. Instant, fresh, concise and searchable. And he is a most excellent instructor. Bravo!

Thank you Matthew! Subscribed and greatz from The Netherlands.

That's because of your first video that I learn loving the magnetic timeline. After now a year of using it regularly, I cannot imagine a world without it :D

Excellent!

Man you’re good! You answered a lot of my questions as a pro video editor coming from Ppro

Great video, very helpfull!!!

We can always count on Matthew to Hook us up! Another stellar video.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Best FCPX advice on the internet. Are you listening Apple?

Appreciate the info! Thanks🙏🏻

You’re my Final Cut Pro Hero!

I love magnetic timeline after watching your video

Oh shit, I’ve been missing so much and gotten myself into editing problems that could have been resolved so easily. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I went through your video and made nodes, creating a one-pager of notes that I should have known all along :D Thank you!

Thank you !

This is SO AMAZING, THANK YOU! Can you make a video or two specifically for music video editors? I have made three so far and it is always super frustrating. I know I could be doing things more efficiently. I'm a middling beginner at FCPX.

Thanks 🙏

Super helpful!

A nice tip for not messing around with the audio attached to the main story line is to attach it to a gap clip of one frame at the beginning. Invisible 😊. Thanks for this great mix of best practises

@Mattih needs to see this

That thumbnail though 😂

This was so very helpful! I was pulling my hair out today and these tips are amazing! I've been using FCP for over a year and did not know about the Grave key 😩 Thanks again!

best thumbnail ever

You nailed the thumb. 🥇

Your cover photo deserved a watch and a like.

Great presentation that meets the Rule of 3 U's: Useful, Usable and Used and was supported by practical FCPX examples. Thanks.

Oh my gosh, some of these are complete game changers. Seriously what I’ve been looking for. The (~) key really is a game changer I’ve need even earlier today haha. Savings this video to reference more later.

Thanks

Great video, silly (but funny) thumbnail.

bought a macbook and im loving final cut pro now

There should be a version of you to explain most things in life because then life would just run so much better Matthew :D Endless thanks for so many great tips to make my work better!!

Subbed!! What a great resource for FCPX! Thank you for the best tutorials and the excellent production quality!!

I'm TBD3.0 and I approve this video. Bravo 👍

If you don’t want the 10 sec empty black video at the beginning when exporting the final edit, just select your in and out point at the exact spot you want! This allows to keep certain « unwanted things » for the export! Saved me a bunch of time

Danke!

Perfect thanks

yes

nicely done as always. great work bloke. even as someone who has been using FCPx for 10 years, it's great to be learning some of those bits i just haven't had time to explore. cheers!

amazing thumbnail!

Thank you for making this video. It helps a lot. BTW, your live stream is FANTASTIC!!!

This was useful and very well presented. Two things that make FCP very frustrating for me (well, besides having to use audio roles, while fairly robust, where a mixer would be far more intuitive, and the stupid export options, and how dependent it can be on plugins and additional layers like CommandPost, and the lack of native collaboration, and the annoying project hierarchy, and the heavy handed-ugh, I'll just stop here), are the fact that the playhead doesn't move with the timeline and the fact that waveforms and clip previews stop rendering during playback. If you have workarounds for these issues I'd love to hear them.

Brah that thumbnail doe hahahahaha

you sir saved me hours of work, you deserve my subscribe 100%!!!

Just the set of tips I needed, thank you!!

Love the thumbnail lol

so helpful thx

Great content; I’ve been upgrading my FCP skills with your tutorials in a breeze, since you speak the way I get it easily. I really appreciate it. Great thumbnail too! 😅

That is a great thumbnail. Made me click. Great information also!

THXXX !!!!!!!!!
