Check out important tips to speed up your editing in fcp!!!!

• Use shortcuts

There are many keyboard shortcuts in fcp that can be very helpful to use. By using shortcut keys you can save lots of time. As a video editor you have to work on big projects, so obviously it takes lots of time to complete it. Therefore you should always try to use shortcut keys rather than moving your mouse here and there. In the beginning you will take time to learn them but don’t worry you will learn every shortcut key by heart.

• Use dynamic trimming

Trimming means shortening the clip or deleting the unwanted part from the clip. So what’s the difference between normal trimming and dynamic trimming? Clearly we can say that dynamic trimming means trimming by keyboard shortcuts.

• Use adjustment layers

Using an adjustment layer is very beneficial to you. Suppose you want to apply any effect to the clip. So, there is no need to apply effect on the clip. Just use an adjustment layer which actually works as a layer. It means you are not directly applying the effect on the layer.

• Turn on background rendering

Fcp has a great feature of background rendering. It means you can render your video while editing. It will save your time too to see the preview of your work.

• Watch tutorials

Watching is better than reading. If you want to learn new technical things then it is worthy to watch online tutorials or you can take a class by which you can practice regularly.

• Practice!!!

Practice as much as you can. Everyone heard about this line that practice makes a man perfect. Really, practice regularly. Give some hours to this application then you will see that your editing skills and speed both will increase.

So, In the end I would like to recommend you to join the Video Editing Institute. It is one of the leading training centers. There are too many short term and advanced video editing courses to join. You can join the Final Cut Pro Master course too from this institute.
