Thanks for this, I just needed some good simple pointers , I've recently just got my M3 Macbook Pro, I've been using DR on my windows system but found a torrent for FCP, so thought I'd give a try 😊

Thanks Nick for this video. What is the best third party source for Final Cut Pro effects, titles and transitions?

[@NickKendall]

The best one I've used in the past is Motion Array :)

[@manogar817]

Please make more videos on FCP

[@NickKendall]

Noted! :)

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

awesome tutorial thank you. one question. when you import media into the library does it copy the video files into the library or keep them in the original location

[@NickKendall]

Great question; if you go to the menu bar and select Final Cut Pro > Settings > Import, there is an option at the top to either copy files into the library or leave files in place. I personally leave them in place so it doesn't double up my storage. :)

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

@@NickKendallthanks. I keep my video files on a nas and wanted to make sure the didn’t copy to my laptop. Again great video and thanks for the reply

[@xxviking1999xx]

Really good video

[@NickKendall]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@rogerhummel3023]

I noticed that you are using a stand for your MacBook. What is the name of the particular stand you are using and where do I get one?

[@NickKendall]

It's just a basic foldable one from Amazon :)

[@rec7582]

FCP is so clunky and user unfriendly.
Great tutorial. Thanks.

I had to tap out after 5 minutes. I couldn't take the chronic upward inflection.
