Great video. Thanks! Moves fast enough to keep attention of people who know some of this stuff. Was searching for a way to make a video with a song attached in FCP. Search engines lie their asses off. Kept finding FCP in the description and another app in the video.
Who knew that the internet would become a time share purchase bait and switch? HAHA!

[@davejj99]

Really enjoyed your video. But I don't have those cool Stylized Effects. Where can I get the ones you showed so well in the video. Thanks.

[@StupidRaisins]

All of the effects and transitions I used are built in to FCP.

[@davejj99]

New guy error (I was looking at Effects and not seeing Stylized, only Stylize). Thanks, looking forward to using these.

[@StupidRaisins]

No problem and good luck!

[@ViajandoconDanielE]

yeeeyyy I was the 1,000 like ... lol

[@StupidRaisins]

Congratulations! Thanks for the love.

[@scot_smith]

Great video but I am not sure why my photo duration remains 10 seconds when I checked that the preferences setting is 3 seconds. I can't find what is overriding that setting

[@StupidRaisins]

strange. Try restarting FCP and make sure you'r not selecting 10 seconds worth of your image in the browser

[@mmz-film-art6125]

3:35 Edit images without "Fill" mode, so the images will not be cropped. Use "Customize" before editing.🍄

[@StupidRaisins]

What do you mean by customize?

[@_hb6181]

Thank you so much my friend, can you explain this on Final Cut Pro for iPad, please..

[@StupidRaisins]

Yeah, I hope to start making FCP for iPad tutorials soon.

[@homegrownhistories5914]

I hope you see this! I made a slideshow based on this great video! Now when I try to add it to an existing storyline, Final cut won't let me. How do I add my new slideshow? I want it to be my opening segment to the video. Thanks!

[@StupidRaisins]

Turn it into a compound clip and then add it to your timeline: czcams.com/video/wQedYHlEvDA/video.html

@@StupidRaisins okay thanks. I'll watch the video to see how to do that! Thanks again!

Excellent video! Can we do the same thing for video by following the same steps?

[@StupidRaisins]

Thank you! Yes, absolutely. Same result with a video.

[@artincorona]

Hi there. When I choose the “fill “ option it well sometimes cut out part of the picture that I want in the frame, so how do I manipulate the picture while keeping the same aspect ratio, and still keeping the black bars from showing on the sides?

[@StupidRaisins]

Try None option and then use the scale sliders to adjust size.

[@Coronaboii88]

Can we add music to the slideshow? I'm creating a slideshow for my mother who passed on Friday.

[@StupidRaisins]

I'm sorry to hear about your mother. My mom died in 2021 and I made a couple slideshows for her funeral. I hope making your slideshow helps you heal a little bit.
Yes, you can add music. Just drag and drop it into your timeline.

[@Coronaboii88]

@@StupidRaisins thank you! And sorry for your loss 🙏🏽

[@StupidRaisins]

Thanks. I hope you have a good week.

[@AugustBhema]

I tried to make a slideshow recently, however, a few of the images appear as blank screens...ie image 1, 2,3, blank screen, 4, 5, blank..
HELP! 🙏🏾

[@StupidRaisins]

Are you trying to make the Stylized Transition? If yes, you have to drag the numbered pins(1 to 5) to your clip so that it can be displayed on the slideshow. Tell me how it goes.

[@AugustBhema]

@@StupidRaisins Thanks for getting back to me...I'll get that a try & let you know..Appreciate you !

[@StupidRaisins]

You're welcome. I'm happy to help.

[@ApostleFestus-sx4fy]

How i can get this

[@StupidRaisins]

Get what exactly?

[@Louisspurgin]

I can't see the transitions on my FCPX?

[@StupidRaisins]

Update to the newest version.

[@abdiascintron7351]

so many clicks (the click sound is annoying also unnecessary ) , too fast , too condensed , great video but nothing to lear here ...

[@StupidRaisins]

U can pause and rewind

[@ReR7474]

You can slow the playback on the settings menu

[@StupidRaisins]

Yup, that's another way but then I sound creepy.
