Outstanding video and thanks for the tips! 🤘

[BobbyClements]

I liked how you showed me WHY you chose these settings 🔬
thanks for running all of those tests 📝

[laydeeghee]

Yass finally a video that goes straight to the point. Thank you. 😀

[raulgolfs]

Huge tip for us FCPX editors! LFG! Appreciate the work bud! 🔥

[thehealinghiker]

You are my new best friend, 😉. Thank you soooo much for taking an interest in my novice understanding of FCP. I am beyond honoured how you took the time to try many different renderings to prove which one is the best. 🙏 NOW your next video could be "did I waste my money buying Compressor?" Or "What is the purpose of Compressor for FCP?" Ha ha, I could keep you with video ideas for the next year! Cheers Dylan, thanks again.

Very useful Dylan. Cheers to you for researching and testing options

[skiddlybatch]

Love your videos, Dylan. This was very helpful. 🎉

[CubanRider]

The amount of work and wealth of information that you put out on your videos does not go unnoticed. Keep it up 🍺 and thanks for the videos.

[outdoorhabits]

Thank you for sharing! I absolutely learn something new each time I watch your videos. You rock! 💯

[MishaMishaMatic]

Thank you so much for including your reasons for why you choose certain settings, blindly following setting advice without understanding the why is always something that makes me a bit apprehensive to follow a guide.

[gazwrighttravel]

Amazing video and super helpful. I've uploaded over 100 YouTube videos on default... file sizes 20-90gb! What a shambles

[KwameBlue]

i’m going to try this. thanks for sharing.

[boundariesunlimited]

Thanks Dylan! Gonna give this a shot. Uploading 90gb file sizes would take over 2 days and became very frustrating!

[projectdirtbikes]

Thanks man! I really apreciate the help! I've been using final cut for a couple years now and have never been happy with the export quality until now. Thanks again!

[OffbeatDiscoveries]

Oh, thank you much, Dylan. I'm new to FCP and couldn't understand why I wasn't seeing the same 'options' on mine as on other instructor's screens. You SAVED me by saying that i wouldn't see it on my iMac. I love the fact that now I only need to hit Command E now. Again, thank you so very much.

[Josh_Sattin]

Thank you Dylan! I have gone back and forth so many times with all of these settings.

[joewardpr]

Excellent. This will definitely help my workflow. When it's time to publish, I typically have zero time left. Every second counts.

[VinnerFilms]

Great! I just knew about the first one tip, but the second one makes sense, the reason why my 4k video on instagram looks bad

[bernardkocioek]

This is called „destiny”. I was wandering how I should export my video in FCP and “bang” - notification from YT. Thank you!

[manfredmakiseni]

just 2 days ago l was looking for a video like this 😅 thank you
