Editing Music in Final Cut

Awesome, thanks... I was a habitual fader, but I've seen the light and I'm a changed person. :)

That's great! You widen my horizon in this video. Thank you for sharing!

WOW,... excellent job. Subscribed.

Cool handling of the sound, but you have to keep in mind, that not every song is allowed to be handled like this. The composer has got a right to keep the song as it is. Speeding it up and cutting it down can violate the rights of the composer or rights holder. But if it is allowed, then it is fine.

for the love of god, can someone help me pls with the "4 by 4 method" because I still can't figure out how and why she decided to start marking the beat exactly here.

very pithy and informative! thanks!!

you are the best!

Just watched two of your videos in row and I'm blown away again, another great tutorial. You just made it so much easier again, awesome job.

seriously appreciate your tutorials, quality and concise, keep up the great work!

OH MY GOODNESS!! You ROCK! I am BRAND new at FCP, and you made it SO easy! THANK YOU!

l too complicated i continue doing it the other way why making it so complicated no thbaks

I am an early intermediate user with FCPX and your videos are right on the button for my current skillset. Thanks.

well done

Thanks sooo much for this video. I downloaded stock music that was perfect for my video with the exception that the song was 8 seconds too short. Using your method I was able to copy and insert an a second audio clip in the first 20 seconds and I can't hear the transition! You rock!

Great video! Thank you.

Best FCP tutorials anywhere. Thanks so much! Also great work for your clients. You clearly have tremendous talent and knowledge.

Thank you!!

i already knew this but what I didn't know was the way you achieved it, it's really helpful to see the way you use compound clips to achieve it, workflow is everything in editing, not "knowing how to do everything".

Genius intelligence

That was really useful. Of course what we really need is the equivalent of Adobe Premier Pro’s Remix tool added to FCP. It effectively does all these steps automatically and works really well.

You turned me onto a couple functions that I didn’t know existed and that I have been desperately wanting. Thanks for that! Very helpful.

This is BRILLIANT… just so frustrating that I didn’t see it ‘before’ I made my last video 😩😂

you're a real star in this, great video as always

nice tutorial ... thanks for sharing your knowledge

Hey, thanks for the tip. I watched it twice! 👍

my question is : why you so smart ? 🥰 thank you .....for tutorial

Learned something new. I didn't know you could change the speed of music. Will be using this!

Very clever plus it provides an organized method which will result in time saved. Thank you.

Bravo

Such a great tip! Thanks for this ❤

Absolutely BRILLIANT !
This will save me so much time 👍🏼👍🏼

1,2,3,4 - 1,2,3,4 Loved it!

Awesome I learned something today :-) and you gained a new subscriber

thx you )

wow i love this.. thank you so much!

another great tutorial Jenn. Thanks so much!

🇺🇦

Jenn, what an amazing trick that is!! I will definitely be using this trick in my future videos. Thank you!

Awesome! Also, command G. Brilliant! I didn’t know you could do this. Cheers 🤙

Great video - I’ve been using a very similar process and relying on my late 1980’s dj skills to cut and move the clip to the optimal point to shorten the audio. Never thought of changing the speed of the audio clip to achieve an exact match. Great tip. Most of our work is longer form nature documentary but it usually includes several songs used for different sequences so I have to deal with this several times on each video. Thanks for sharing the step by step of your process.

This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.

This is absolutely awesome info!!! Thank you so much!!!

Great tips; I'll give them a go on my next video Thanks!. BTW As a former semi-pro bass player (1965-1989), I suggest that one needs to also listen for sections (e.g., verse A then verse B, etc.), choruses, & bridges. By that, I mean -- while your song choice was pretty straightforward (e.g., 4/4 and simple structure) a more complex song would require the cut(s) not cutting into a bridge or chorus from a verse, etc accidentally. As said in Indiana Jones 3; you must choose, wisely! :0)))

Thanks, this was perhaps one of the best videos on editing music for the end of a video.

Brilliant tip and demonstration of the process Jenn! Thank you! ⭐️👍

Great job jenn👌

yesssssss. I add a cross dissolve always, but change the duration depending on the abruptness of the cut. Death to the fade out!

I will be using this.

It felt like I was in an aerobic video for a second and my thighs were hurting!

Thanks Jenn. 4/4 is easy for me to catch, it's all those other times that get me.

Great job Jen, I’ve been doing this for years, but it’s comforting to see somebody else doing it. I never really have to speed up my music though, I Work with longer form documentaries.
