So for those of you who caught it thank you for the heads up on the low audio (ohhh the irony). This is the corrected version.

David almost a year ago I stumbled across your 1Password video, plus I had purchased my first Mac Pro laptop. Thanks to you and your videos I have come along way. I do have drones, and Final Cut Pro. By far you are a very awesome instructor. I spent 24 years in the military and know a good instructor when I see one. You are a very giving person. I cant wait till your next video on Final Cut Pro. Its gonna be a fun summer, because of your informative videos. I love creating content, and its all your fault !

Coming from the original FCP 15 years ago and playing with this new version five years ago I was dismayed. But they seemed to have smoothed it out. Your videos are very clear and helpful. Thanks.

I figured that out. I am curious about the audio jungle comment you made. is the music free? do you have suggestions on purchasing music b/c I am running in copyrighting issues thanks

Why can't yanks just cut to the damn chase? That was five minutes of unrelated dribble before I got the information I needed.

Why when you do a voice over on line level, it doesn't actually sound like line level in final cut?

[DarrinLin]

Thank you so much. Was looking everywhere for a tutorial but they all talked about fading in at the beginning/end of the tracks.

Hi, David! Hmmm.. So, it'really worth it to go for Final Cut Pro than iMovie? I have been using iMovie for quite some time already. Love your video by the way!

[TechTalkAmerica]

Thanks to those of you who caught it. OHHHH THE IRONY! When I exported this video (the first time) I made a boo boo and the audio levels on my video were wayyyy down. Thanks for pointing it out!

Hi David,
great video! Where are the other final cut how to videos?

[richb]

I like that you release in sections t makes it easy to under stand for because I am new at this

[XioArleen]

Great Video! how do you mix going up and down with volume. Let's say I want the music to pause for the voice over then back on and then pause again and then back and so on. Not pause but go down in volume a bit to hear the voice speaking in certain parts.

In Vegas on Windows, you can shape the shape of the volume change curve. Can you do it in FCP-X?

hi david, i want to take a private class for final cut pro, can you please guide me what to do ?

Hi Daveman, this is all nice and clear, good job. I got two questioins: 1. Could you ellaborate on one specific issue though: what if there is just ONE silly seagull that is too loud, but the rest of the "group" is okay...? Meaning: if i have an audio (voiceover) and there is one particular point, for two seconds, when the narrator goes "over the limit", and it is only that 2 seconds i need to "quiet down", without effecting all the rest of audiotrack... then what? and 2. Is there any keyboard-combination that makes it easy to edit the audio track, so I don't have to bring the cursor to the right top corner and find that plus button to "leave a mark" in the auditorack? cheers

how to copy paste your audio keyframes to other audio file ?

[FreethinkerDave]

Great video David. I like the idea of short, specific lessons. It makes it easier to search and find the help you need on a particular task.
Why only 720p resolution? I usually go full-screen on my 27" iMac during these FCPX videos so I can see where exactly you're clicking. 720p looks a little grainy. Looking forward to future lessons!

I watched this hoping it would help me figure out why my sound disappears when I upload to IG. I'm using Final Cut. I have a pro wireless mic that feeds directly into my DSLR. When I upload to IGTV the video has sound then 5-10 min later the sound becomes just goobles and scratches.
