To all small Youtubers : we can do it!

[Bilalforyou]

All my blessings to those, who just started their new YouTube channel 😇

You literally saved my day. i went through so many BS long videos and you were the only one making it easy and simple to understand. Thanks for this huge help. I bought some effects and Transitions from Ryne Nangles and I don't know if you have a video on how to add it to final cut. I tried it multiple times by the method he explained, but it didn't work. Hope you can help.

Format to computer. Another day, another gem.

[HollyJaneYT]

Great content and advice, straight to the point, with no unnecessary fluff beforehand. Thanks guys!

[Andysfishing]

This seems so simple, I've looked for this over my past 8 years on youtube. I will try it, thank you.

Thank you, very clear instruction for me as a beginner. Finally, I am exporting my first video in Final Cut Pro... After editing in Adobe Premiere Pro since 2017, Final Cut Pro feels so different... It took me a month to calm down and realize that if I purchased Final Cut Pro, I must learn it from scratch.

We've been doing YouTube now for little bit more than a year and our vlogs were always like 20-30 GB. So it took them very long especially in areas where the internet was super slow. Thank you SO MUCH for this video, now our vlogs are like 2-3 GB which makes it so much easier and faster to upload them, even with slow internet. Thanks! 🙏

[skylarlarson]

Thank you so much! I just started using Final Cut Pro for my channel, and kept getting videos stuck on 480p. Now my vids look better than ever! :)

[larbueno]

I've only been uploading to YT for...YIKES!!!...too many years without knowing this. So valuable. I now have a 4k preset and a 1080p preset. Much thanks to you, sir!!!

[madbackyard]

Came right back to this video after updating FCP and losing all my export presets from last time I watched this! Perfect and to the point. Thank you!

[ParisWilliams]

honestly you have the best channel for everything other tutorials were showing me how to literally upload a 4k video instead of export thankssss!!!

[DutchGoalkeeper]

Legend! Thank you so much for the quick and clear explanation!

[mackenziemill]

Rumour has it Nolan you are doing a whole playlist of Final Cut Pro, so excited

[stuvlog]

Thanks for this mate! Straight to the point, no lengthy intro, no begging for likes or subs at the start, you just earned a like and a sub! 👍🏻

Thank You! I just bought a Sony a7Siii and 2k lens for it. I’m new to XAVC SI codec and was painfully frustrated until I found your hard won work you freely share with the public. Much thanks!

[DustandTess]

this video was a TON of help after coming from imovie to Final Cut. THANKS!

[FIREPsyChat]

This video just saved me 300GB in storage. Thanks Nolan!

Great video BUT.... These settings are NOT good for HDR content, as this method will auto downgrade a HDR FCPX export to 8 bit SDR color. What settings do you recommend for HDR?

[DrizzyGotSole]

Man I’ve been battling with 8gb flies for the longest which I’m sure plays into longer upload times but this is definitely gonna help moving forward. Thanks 👍🏾
