I just used it for the first time not realising how much it's been improved & OMG the new uses some crazy AI which just shits on any other third party one I tried. Here's the result of my first use with it. What do you guys think, have you noticed much difference? because I rarely used it before and just had to painstakingly draw mask and keyframe anchor points for my masking needs but this saves sooo much time!

I am trying to blur an object starting 10 seconds into my video. I told the tracker to start analyzing from there and go to the end of the video. However, it is applying the blur to the entire duration of the clip, which is not what I want. I've found several tutorials showing how to apply object tracking, but they're done on short clips for the entire duration of the clip.

What I want to do is simple but I just can't figure it out: How do I remove the object tracking for the first 10 seconds of the clip?

I’m curious how I could start to learn to produce videos like seen here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1DvkWWeoY6/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I’ve got the lights, FX30, stands, etc but I’m not sure where to start to begin to learn how to create like that. Are there any good tutorials you could point me to?

I have the 16gb M1 mini and am eyeing the 24 gb m4 mini. Just wondering if anyone upgraded along the same lines and am curious to hear back of any performance/stability gains with Final Cut. Any buyer’s remorse?

(Sorry, I don't know why we can't see the flashing effect that much when I try to record my screen with my iPhone but the flashing sky is more intense).

Hello,

Photographer here who is learning videography

I would love to know why I have theses flashing effects in my highlight sky ?

I guess its because the sky is overexposed and i tried to play with the light grading difference cursors but they still appears.

Do i need to do something else in Final Cut to avoid them ?

What's strange is that when I export the project via AirDrop to my iPhone, the flashing effect becomes much more pronounced. I also tried duplicating the project, and now the flashing effect doesn't appear on my MacBook Pro, but it's still present on my iPhone. I have no idea why this is happening.

Informations :

I recorded in 4K 50p/100fps and I used the Smooth Slow-mo effect in 5O% for all the clips in Final Cut

I exported the movie in H.264

Helps/tips would be great !

Thanks !

Hey Guys, I am learning magnetic masks. How do I get rid of the red hued car in the bottom layer? This was a photo to start with. Thanks

I’m trying to edit DLOG footage from an Air 3. Using DJI’s conversion to rec709 looks horrible. Way too saturated and constrasty. Anyone have some advice on how to deal with DLOG from these?

Thx

What do you guys think?

I want to enhance my viewers' ability to understand fitness concepts by using simple & aesthetic plugins.

Been searching on Reddit and Youtube for 4 hours now. I have m-installer and collected free plugins from Youtubers.

Suddenly, plugins became a subscription-based cesspool. And if it's not bad enough, the most basic plugins like a timer, cost $50 each (like stupid raisins), whereas some plug-ins cost $200+. Can't wrap my head around this pricing.

I found this 'Lenofx absolute pack' for $50. I see that as my only solution. Or, to use the 14-day trial on this thing called "cinestudio"

Also, what plugins do most of you use?

Hey there.I'm a first time movie maker and I just spent a lot of time making a movie for wife's birthday about her pregnany from last year.

One of the biggest parts is the emotional impact of the edits changing on the beat of the music. In the file they were pretty good. Maybe not perfect but pretty good. After export, however, they are all noticeably slow. Like just after the beat. What did I do wrong???

Im a small youtuber and im searching for some titles and effects i can use to improve my videos.

What do you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance

I have just imported my files into my project and they are being transcoded however, I wanted to start editing straight away, and one of the. clips needed stabilising however, it got added to the bottom of the transcoded files list in the queue I tried to pause them all and start the stabilisation but there is no response nor will ir start stabalising.

I don't want to cancel the videos in the list I just want to pause them and continue after stabilising the clip.

Is there a solution or setting to adjust?

I come from a Premiere Pro background and with Premiere Pro, synching via audiotrack was pretty powerful - I could film a music video and as long as a bit of the music was audible, Premiere Pro was able to align all my clips properly on the timeline.

Fast forward to my first time trying to edit a music video in FCP X and, well, it didn't work as expected. Some clips were synched, but others were all over the place on the timeline.

So I was wondering, what's the correct workflow in FCPX? How do I need to prepare my videos so I can get them easily synched with a music track that's audible in all the clips?

Hey all,

I'm either simply too stupid to find it but could it be that there is no way to change the font of the captions created when you click "transcribe to captions"? And is it possible to set the language? My FCPX is currently set to English, but I'd have to transcribe some talking in German.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks all.

I want my still image video fully uncompressed (lossless) to upload on YouTube.

What is this about? EVERY TIME, I have a big project and I'm due to deliver it - it will ALWAYS work fine, right up until the day I got to export it and... and it won't work. It's like it know. Someone else must have this?

So it just won't load. Was working fine last night. Today it says loading event and it beach balls...

No rhyme no reason. I've emptied my trash, I've cleared my desktop, I've run smart scan, cleared all the junk, but it won't load this project. Why?!

😡

How do you change the thumbnail? I’ve saved the frame I wanted and tried the advice of clicking command+I and then dragging the thumbnail over to the picture and it will not change at all. Any other advice on how to change it? Thanks. 🙏🏼

Hello. I just purchased a new MacBook strictly for video. Is there a way to “clone” the version on my current MacBook and put it on the new one? Meaning I want to put on there with all my plug ins without having to look for them all and reinstall. Thank you in advance.

My system is an M3 Max MacBook Pro with 48 GB memory and 1TB system storage (570 GB available). I am editing off of an external 4TB NVME SSD that has 2.61 TB available, and 3000 MB/s read & write speeds. Even renders are extremely slow too. Doesn’t make any sense to me considering the specs.

I've been working in Final Cut Pro X quite frequently lately and in my current video project I am encountering issues with my proxy files. At first I was able to change between original and proxy media on my timeline clips without a problem. Now all of a sudden, any effect changes I make to the edited clips cannot be viewed in proxy mode. I am stuck doing everything in original/optimized mode and because of the amount of layers and effects, the lag is awful. I can't see the changes I'm making in real time, instead having to wait forever for rendering.

Like I said, this wasn't a problem before and out of nowhere, in the same exact project, the proxy mode is pretty much useless. Right before this happened, i noticed that the "Distort" button became engaged on ALL of my clips which made them all blank when viewing. I had to manually UN-distort every single clip to set everything back to normal. But it is not normal because changes are only being saved in original/optimized mode. Does it sound like I did something accidentally to have caused these issues? Is this common?

Hi there,
I have a 2gig mp4 I imported into FCPX. I used proxy media, and I relinked the file after editing.

When I exported, the video is worse quality than the imported video.

How have I managed to lose quality and how can I just get it to export at the same quality? Seems crazy it's this difficult.

I was working on a project in FCP and ran out of space on my external hard drive. I got a new larger hard drive and moved my project and original files to it but when I open the project now everything shows up like this and says missing files. I tried making new proxy media but all of the files now show up like this even in the optimized media file. Is there a way to fix this?
