In our previous video, Intro to Final Cut Pro X, we got you up and running as an Editor quickly. We showed you the basic workflow from bringing in your media, to editing on the timeline.

They say a little preparation goes a long way. This is true in Final Cut Pro X as well.

Investing in organizing your media in the beginning stages of making your project will help you be more efficient when you are looking for your assets during the editing process.

In this tutorial we are going to show you some of the ways you can organize and sort your Media and Events in Final Cut Pro 10.4.9.


In Final Cut, there are many different ways to achieve the same result. For our tutorial we will show you a couple different ways to organize your media.

This will get you started quickly and efficiently in the organizing workflow.

Organizing Media Already in your Project

Select Your Library Go To the Clip Appearance icon (Film Icon) above the Browser and Select It.

Go To Group By: Click the pull-down menu. A variety of different options appear.

For the purpose of this tutorial select ‘File Type’

Media will now be Grouped by file type, (Example: Audio, Image and movie files.

Click Sort By: Notice the variety of sort options and order (Ascending, Descending)


Meaning, as you drag to the right side, you’ll notice the time duration decreasing.

doing this increases the number of thumbnails in video clips in your browser,, showing more detail of your clip



Rating Clips in Final Cut

We showed you in the intro video how to bring down clips and edit them in the timeline.

Another workflow is to Rate your clips in the Browser. Then bring those portions of the clips into the timeline.

For the purpose of this tutorial I am using a new Project with an empty timeline.


Go To Mark Menu 2nd Row you’ll see Favorite, Reject, And Unrate.


Favorite = F. (These are clips/parts of the clip you want to use in your Project)

Reject = Delete Key (These are clips/parts of a clip you don’t want to use in your Project)

Unrate = U. (Clears your Selection)



Filtering Clips

Go up to where it says All Clips. This is the Filter pop-up menu. Click on the menu and you’ll see specific filtering options.

Select Favorites, all the clips with the Green line are shown.

Select Rejected, all the clips with the Red line are shown.

Go back to the All Clips Selection.





ADVANCED MEDIA ORGANIZATION:

We are going to briefly cover some advanced user created workflow searches: Keywords and Smart Collections.



Keywords



Creating and applying keywords is another way to organize your clips. Clips with keywords applied to them show up in the event, allowing you to easily find them. You can also search for keywords in the Search fields.


A clip can have multiple keywords applied to it., in addition to having a range selection with a keyword applied to the selected range.



Smart Collections

In your Library there is a folder called “Smart Collections” These are advanced search filters based on custom search criteria. Smart Collections allow you to quickly find media from these search results, and save them for continuous use.


You can create and save your own Smart Collections. Allowing you to easily sort and find the media based on a variety of filters.

CREATING A CUSTOM SMART COLLECTION FILTER.

CONCLUSION:

As a Filmmaker, we want to get right into creating our Video to get our project out for the World to see. Organizing your media is a very important step of the editing process. Take the time at the beginning to organize your media with the techniques shown in this tutorial. With your media organized, you will become a faster and more efficient Editor.
