@TheOtherSideOfTheStove 3 года назад

This helped me very much. I am afraid of deleting things off of the FCP. I have two external and have my files on one and the other is back up. This has helped me see how I can get better at organizing.

@tombuck 3 года назад

It really works great and seems to keep Final Cut running smoothly. I do usually delete the actual library about once a month just to clear out any goofiness that might find its way in there.

@BabyBackManiac 4 года назад

This is great. Totally different than how I do it (except for keeping hard drive clean between projects) but different strokes for different folks. I actually only keep the project files (with the originals saved in the library) and throw out the originals just because I’ve found that if I ever need those originals, It helps my brain to go back into the FCP project. Also, I’ve had clients ask for tweaks of old projects so obviously, it’s nice not having to start over. I also heavily use notes. I think it’s the most underrated app in the entire ecosystem purely because of what you said about how seamlessly it shares it amounts apple devices. In fact, that may be the main way Apple has prevented me from ever being able to buy a different brand of one. I have description box template like you except instead of deleting the edits between projects, I just make a copy of the original at the start of the project and archive it in a folder. It helps for referencing sometimes. Thank you for sharing this. Totally shows there is more than one way to skin a cat.

@tombuck 4 года назад

Sounds like you're more organized than me! But especially when dealing with clients, that's probably the best way to be. And oh boy, the Notes app is SO underrated for anyone who's in the Apple "ecosystem."

@AdrianLoganLive 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing your workflow, it's helped me refine mine a bit better too. I do have 2 questions for you. 1) Do you use Cloud storage at all for backups (Ex. Icloud, Google Drive etc)? and 2) Do you have a duplicate backup of your 4TB Drive and T5 files somewhere?... I feel like not having a duplicate backup is something someone so Oreganized wouldn't take a risk on considering all drives fail eventually, but you didn't hint or mention that you do. I'm curious (I still edit and store everything on my Mac/Cloud storage but want to buy 2 backup drives soon. Thanks for your thoughtful content!

@tombuck 4 года назад

Hey Adrian! I don't use cloud backup simply because our internet connection isn't fast enough- t would take an eternity to get everything uploaded. I do have copies of the hard drives in a fireproof safe as an extra precaution, and one day I'll get either a RAID system or a crazy fast internet connection and then backup that way.

But I always find it to lagg and just be as as slow as my ex wife you know haha. Good stuff man!

@PatrickRambles 4 года назад

Usually when FCPX lags, it means your computer is having a hard time keeping up. I recently had to switch from a 13” lower end MBP to a 16” 2019 model and now Final Cut scrubs through 4K timelines like it’s nothing.

@tombuck 4 года назад

@bboycharmin 3 года назад

instead of doing all those extra steps at the end of your workflow, delete the entire library in finder where ever you've saved it, move to trash and create a new library for your next project. This is great because sometimes even if you delete all generated library files, some cache files might not delete especially if you've been using the same library for months. The database could get corrupt over time and things might not delete as expected. just a thought for saving time at the end of your project.

@tombuck 3 года назад

This is a great idea, thanks for sharing!

I would really appreciate if you could give me a suggestion. Thanks.

There seems to be some controversy about which SSD cards to use, speeds necessary, and how much space you should buy on each card because of download speeds and other factors. What do you find works best with your EOS R and MAC Final Cut Pro video process? Are some cards too big or too slow? Do you like a different card when stills are the main goal?

@tombuck 3 года назад

The R is a pretty simple camera. I usually use 256gb 120mb/s V60SD cards with no issues. The newer cameras like the R5 and A7SIII require higher quality/faster cards.

@DigiDriftZone Год назад

Question, do you use 1 folder/library per video? - Some people are saying to use a single library and then to create a project per video, have you tried that approach? -- also what's the point of resetting FinalCut, isn't it easier to just create a new library?

@tombuck Год назад

I typically do 1 Library per month, but for bigger projects I do like to have a single library for the project. It's probably the smarter thing to do overall, honestly.

Hey Tom!! is it possible by any chance to correct a green screen footage with motion blur in post? I have a footage shot in 25fps and later realised that I wasn't able to do anything. What do you think would be the best thing I could do?

@tombuck 4 года назад

I don’t know if I’m 100% understanding the problem, but if the green screen footage is still it’s own separate clip, you should be able to apply adjustments to the key or clip as usual. If the clip has already been saved as a composite, you’ll have fewer options (if that makes sense).

@elwindaniel8944 4 года назад

Ok, let me see if I can make things clear 😅. I shot a green screen footage which I felt was ok to be shot on 25fps. I later found that there was a lot of motion blur on the close ups. I looked up the problem on the internet and I then realised that I should’ve shot the clip with at least 50 or 60fps. So now, I’m trying to find out, if there’s any possible way that I could use to correct this.

@imtriinsight_jingwu9880 3 года назад

Hi Tom, thanks for the tutorial. Literally, I watched this vids, as well as several others related with animated progress bar, DIY titles, step by step, and edit my first one clip. The whole process was thrilling;-)) Though I do have two more questions. One with the exported file size. I noticed that the format was .mov, and the size came up to 23.8G. Compared to 1.58G raw material (screen recording feeds), this final size seems HUGE. Another was the storage space was keeping 'swollen' during the editing. I have to drop the idea to use the internal storage space, but an external SSD Drive, 1TB. Still, almost caught the whole of it. Which steps were I missing, or did wrong? Were these the normal things happened during the editing with FCP, please?

@tombuck 3 года назад

Thanks for watching all those videos! To answer your questions: 1. When exporting, be sure to use the H.264 codec as that will reduce your file size considerably. 2. Final Cut Libraries are like goldfish- they'll take up as much space as you give them. I'm still using my 1tb internal SSD to edit, but I remove all the project files and footage as soon as I'm finished, so nothing lives on the computer. You cna always use the file menu to clean up Library files while working on a project to free up space. It shouldn't hurt anything, but your computer may need to re-render some items, which can take some time.

@imtriinsight_jingwu9880 3 года назад

@@tombuck Thanks for the quick reply. 1.H.264, yes. Noted that. Done it. Though I have no idea why then;-) 2. Roger that. It makes all sense now. Since I'll use my screenshot recording footage for my practice of FCP, to experience the whole process. I have to use the 'bigger' external hard drive for my longer hours feeds (the longest ones are 3.2 hours -_-) Wondering if my 14TB external hard drive could handle it or not,, After all, this 14TB external hard drive is USB-A port type, not USB-C port one,, might be slower?

Now, after trying to clean some storage space, to try to maintain and wait till the newer version of Apple M series laptop, and my budget may have a chance to break. The result turns out NO. It has been wasted more of my time. And literally, I’ve got headaches, serious ones. So, I turn my option to new M1 Mac mini, with 16GB ram, 1TB storage space, the price still lower than the same spec of M1 laptop, but with the capability to extend with two monitors.

Another switched with a USB-C/multi-media adapter with hdmi (which I will use for another monitor) +USB-A (I plan to connect with Rode Mini USB, the microphone) +USB-C.

It’s Apple’s way of letting you use your iPad as a secondary display. Pretty nifty!

Ok, I’m slightly nervous that your 4TB drive isn’t backed up somewhere. Or is it? I have suggestions if you’re interested, but maybe you already have a strategy.

@AaronAbernethy 4 года назад

I should have said first, great video. I love seeing other people’s processes, and yours is definitely one of the cleanest and best organised. Sometime I’d love to see you go through the post-upload process in RU-vid Studio - placing recommended videos etc. I’ll be damned though if Oreganised gets more than 1.5/10 (I laughed, naturally).

@tombuck 4 года назад

Haha, thanks as always (even despite the joke)! I've been looking to set up a RAID system, but don't quite have the budget for it. For now I just have several duplicate drives stores in different places 😬

@AaronAbernethy 4 года назад

@@tombuck Yeah, it can be costly. In my day job I install a lot of NAS devices, so if you have any questions just give me a shout. NAS with a cloud backup is a good spread of backup, convenience and redundancy.

Okay. I am currently at 13:46 in the video. I am pausing to facepalm. IYKYK. 😝

ahan so u r final cupt pro guy, I am a resolve guy myself, but great video though :)

@tombuck 4 года назад

I love FCP! But Resolve is really growing in popularity. I recommend the free version to my students all the time and love that it’s available.

@Touseef 4 года назад

@@tombuck yes the free version fullfils 95 percent of all usecases, I recently upgraded to studio version bcz I wanted to experiment with some hdr gameplay videos for my gaming channel, and bcz of hardware encoding the same video which took 3.5 hrs in premier pro took 20 minutes in resolve :D

Whoa... are u using different frame rate? Or am I drunk? 😱

@heatherjustcreate 4 года назад

Hahaha 😂

@tombuck 4 года назад

I did this at 60fps for no other reason than to see if anyone would notice, haha. Of course, you could be drunk either way I guess 😁

@MikeMena 4 года назад

@@tombuck I got mixed feelings about 60fps... ultimately, I don't really care, BUT, depending on who uses it, 60fps can look "futuristic" or sometimes it can look "cellphone-ish". Not quite sure where your video falls... more toward futuristic... I think... maybe... LOL or maybe just drunk at 9am.
