    thanks for such a valuable video , by the way could u tell me why I can't use range to select the portion of a clip before import ? I tried to range select a portion to import but as soon as I select the clip the whole clip shows a yellow boundry around it and when I click away the boundary turns gray , I can't use range tool and its very frustrating , thanks

    Instead of GHB I set a macro in BetterTouchTool so CMD+click is blade, SHIFT+click is trim start, and OPT+click is trim end. That way with the skimming, I can just keep my hand in one place (where it naturally rests for me) and only have to use mouse clicks when I'm cutting up my edits. I do talking head stuff normally so I turn off the macros when I'm done so I don't accidentally click when I'm selecting or duplicating

    Great video! G H B seems so cramped to me. I use Q W E (Left, Middle[blade], Right) which lets me rest my thumb on the space bar to play and pause. It's personal preference of course but I feel this works so well! It also means my index finger rests on R so I'm figuring out what to assign that to now.

    Hey Ray! I get them from many places...Artlist, KZread, and a bunch of other places to be honest. I have a collection at this point. And it doesn't take me long for the tutorials because I have a library with the exact sfx I like to use. For other projects, sound design definitely takes a bit longer. Have you checked out some of my sound design tutorials? I think you'd really like those. Here are two: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qY2KqpaQZ5bdg84.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/X4Jppbufe5euedo.html

    Turning off automatic rendering is stupid... it takes a lot longer to render manually...

  • @dylanjohndickerson

    @dylanjohndickerson

    2 ай бұрын

    The video renders when you export. Unless your computer can't keep up, there's no reason to have rendering turned on. And if your computer can't keep up, sometimes it's just a clip or two that causes issues and if that's the case, 'control R' renders them quickly. If your computer still can't keep up, it's better to just transcode your media to proxy media. Notice how when you exit out of Final Cut and open your project again, your timeline has to be re-rendered. Not sure why that is exactly but it's silly to have files always being rendered, slowing down your machine and taking up useless space on your hard drive. This is why you might as well transcode to proxy. One time transcode and you should be able to edit/playback smoothly. Whereas with background rendering turned on, every time you make an adjustment or close out of FCP and come back in, those files will be rendered again. Unless you know how to delete your render files, I bet your libraries are enormous, Sennadeep.
