Film Making Masterclass with Final Cut Pro X

Edit 4X FASTER Using This TRICK [PROXY WORKFLOW Final cut pro x]





By TR Kerr





Create optimized media: This option transcodes video to the Apple ProRes 422 codec format, which provides better performance during editing, faster render times, and better color quality for compositing. If the original camera format can be edited with good performance, this option is dimmed.

Create proxy media: This option creates video proxy files. Video is transcoded to the Apple ProRes 422 Proxy codec format, which provides high-quality files useful for offline editing at the original frame rate and aspect ratio. Final Cut Pro creates medium-quality (one-half resolution) proxy versions that increase editing performance and take up considerably less storage space than optimized files.

Note: For better import and playback performance, Final Cut Pro automatically transcodes all MP3 audio files to MOV audio files. When transcoding files, Final Cut Pro always retains the original media for future use.

PS: No lens filters were used in this film.

TIPs: If you want to process your grading of your films in a user-friendly and time-saving manner, the SpectrumGrades Film Emulation LUTs are the most powerful set of image enhancement tools designed for the Dji Mavic 2 pro series as well as other Dji drones.

The grades are technically accurate, highly sophisticated and stylish, which is a major factor for excellent quality cinematic grades. This is because they are designed by post-production and VFX experts.

All you do is apply the look you like and all the advanced grading is done for you with results that are truly excellent. They are extremely easy to use.

I use them on all my videos and you can see the results that you can achieve...

How To Color Grade In Final Cut Pro - Complete Color Grading Masterclass



By Casey Toland




This video will take you through how to color grade in Final Cut Pro X. These techniques can be applied to other color grading programs, but the color correction menu is specific to Final Cut Pro.

There are a lot of color grading tutorials out there, but I couldn't find one that was complete, free, and walks the viewer through exposure correction, skin correction, white balancing, log footage, and creative styling. I wanted to demonstrate these different corrections by using clips that were fairly difficult, this way you'll be able to easily color grade your own footage, and be able to salvage clips that were otherwise unusable.

Timestamps:
1:23 - Setting Up And Reading Video Scopes
6:11 - Understanding The Color Correction Menu
10:37 - Exposure - Base Corrections
12:35 - Exposure - Contrast
14:15 - Color Correcting Skin Tones
17:35 - Color Balancing Your Footage

by Geeky Nerdy Techy



Today I am comparing my Late 2015 i5 iMac to the new 2019 i5 iMac. In this video, I will compare how Final Cut Pro X differs with rendering times for H.264 and Mv4. I will also take a look at the overall editing experience and flow. Depending on your type of work and file output you might not even need to upgrade.
 
Can Rendering a Final Cut Pro X Timeline Speed Up Exports?


By Idustrial Revolution



https://idustrialrevolution.com/blogs...
Some people say it doesn't matter, some say it slashes export times, who is right? We thought we would put FCPX to the test and find out if pre-rendering timelines gives shorter export times. We've got some interesting results!.

Please help us by liking the video and subscribing. We hope to bring you many more great Final Cut Pro X tutorials in the future and every click helps!

It will take you only a minute to complete this Final Cut Pro "checklist", but it will save you hours during your edit and on the back end when you're archiving your video projects.
