Cut to the BEAT / Edit to MUSIC in Final Cut Pro X

this video is brought to you by Squarespace this video I'm gonna show you how we can cut to the beat we are in the Firecat protein in the face and the first thing that we obviously want to do is to bring our song into the timeline I will drag the song and I will bring it into the timeline I will right-click in my mouse and click on lift from storyline now the second way to do that is let me delete this by simply select your audio track and press Q inner keyboard as you see again we have the same result our audio down and an empty gap above the audio the first method to edit the beat from the methods that we will showcase the aim is to work with markers and what I'm gonna do right now is to select the audio clip I will click here and as you can see by clicking these elements I can adjust how large the audio scope is on the clip we can turn that to the right a little bit so it we can have a better idea where the beat drops and having selected the audio clip we press spacebar in our keyboard to start playing the track and as we play the music where we want the cut to take place we will press m in our keyboard let's go and see perfect now let's go and bring our clips as you can see here I have selected the start and end points we can do that by pressing I in our keyboard for the start point and all in our keyboard for the end point I'm going to drag this with a left click I'm gonna bring it into the gap and I will and I will press replace from start now with the left click make sure that you have this option here selected to enable the Magnetic cuts I will drag with the left lip to the end and bring into the module now let's bring the second clip again we can select a portion with the eye and no drag and bring it to the marker and we will continue the same process to cover the gaps between our models and as you can see we have finished with the first methods to cut to the beat now let's go to the second method I'm gonna delete all of these again we go to the audio we bring our audio here and lift from storyline or with a cue in our keyboard I will said in the beginning and now I'm gonna select the Cup and whenever I hear the beats that I want the cats to take place I'm gonna simply press command + B in our keyboard let's go and see and we have created the cats here no time line now we go into the footages again and we will drag the food ads we will bring into that gap and we will select replays from start we will continue this process for all the creeps that we want to insert and let's see what we have so far and that was the second method before methyl Steen for I want to talk about Squarespace from websites and online stores to marketing tools and analytics Squarespace is the only one platform to build a beautiful online presence and rank your business if you are a youtuber and you want to have a better SEO for your videos or if you're a photographer videographer and you want an online presence and a LAN portfolio for your services then Squarespace is the must-have service that I can recommend for you you can choose between plenty of beautiful designer templates to start building your own website and you don't need to have any knowledge in web design and web development to build your own website so head over to squarespace.com slash Amelio free trial first and then 10% off when directed by using the coupon code Amelia now for the third month let's say that we have our clips and we want to bring all of our clips in the timeline all the clips that we're gonna use so we're selecting the first one and by holding shift in our keyboard were selecting all the other clips and we're bringing all of them into the magnetic timeline now we will bring also our song and we will hear the beat and let's say here we want to create a cut we will press in our keyboards the alt or option key and the right heads and as you can see with the right heads we have already created the cuts to the right we continue with the same process let's hear the song and here we want the other cut take place again we press option and right aids in our keyboard and let's say that here we want the other card take place again option right aids now if we want the next clip to start let's say from here we will go we'll select the clip and press option and left aids and it will bring us the clip into the left now we can continue with the same process and we will leave the song to play as we're pressing option and the Rite Aid's to create the cuts perfect sand let's play to see third method is done and now let's do the fourth method the final methods we're deleting everything again the fourth method is one of my favorite methods and it's the completely manual catch the beat we're bringing our first clip we will bring our song - we can zoom in so we can see the beats a little bit better in our visuals we press play and let's say here we want to create a cut we will bring it with a left click or we will simply press B on our keyboard cut this portion of the clip press Enter keyboard select the other portion and delete it and we will continue the rest of the clips like that here we want the other one and you got the idea of the fourth method I hope you found this very helpful and if you did don't forget to hit the thumbs up subscribe to my channel for more content like this one and ring the bell to see notifications every time I post a new video also the very first episode of my podcast is live you can listen through the link in the description down below and if you want and one on one training in Final Cut Pro 10 you can click in the link in the description of this video to book a training session with me thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video
