*Definitely give Part 2 a watch!* https://youtu.be/mf-C5baCAF8 📃 https://www.dylanjohndickerson.com/free-products-custom-shortcuts-guide _I put some time into creating the FREE Downloadable Reference Guide because I know that remembering these new keyboard shortcuts can be a struggle. Hopefully this helps you out_ 😊 _*Note: This is different than my 'FCP Cheat Sheet Guide'. This new document can only be accessed through this link.*_ If you’re trying to edit faster in Final Cut Pro, this video is a game-changer. I’ll walk you through my favorite custom keyboard shortcuts that have seriously streamlined my editing workflow. These aren’t the default FCP shortcuts, we’re remapping keys to make tools like blade, trim, crossfade, and solo just one keystroke away. In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you how to open and customize your own keyboard profile in Final Cut, and how to create the “G-H-B-Y trifecta” for ultra-fast trimming and cutting. You’ll also learn how to add audio crossfades, solo clips, disable layers, and adjust volume, all without reaching for the mouse. These shortcuts are designed to eliminate friction, save time, and just make editing smoother. Whether you’re editing YouTube videos, short films, or client work, these small tweaks make a big difference. Plus, I’ve included a free downloadable PDF with all the shortcuts so you can reference or install them anytime. 🎨 *Get the PRO LOOK you're looking for* → https://geni.us/AmazingFCPColorGrading 🧰 _*MORE CREATOR TOOLS*_ 📣 *Want my SFX?* → https://geni.us/FilmicCrispSFX 🖍️ *LUTs* → https://geni.us/greatvideoLUTs 🔥 *Filmic Burns Pack* → https://www.dylanjohndickerson.com/filmic-burn-pack 📋 *Free FCP Cheat Sheet* → https://www.dylanjohndickerson.com/free-products *Learn, grow, and connect with other creators in my FREE Discord community* 🌱 https://discord.gg/D8wGTR7XrE --------------------------------------------------------- ✏️ *AWESOME FCP PLUGINS* Smooth Zooms with Zero Keyframes | https://geni.us/ProZooms Really Useful Animation Plugin | https://geni.us/ProAnimate Best Picture in Picture Effect | https://geni.us/FCBPictureinPicture Awesome for Content Creators | https://geni.us/ProVertical Professional Color Grading Plugin | https://geni.us/ColorFinale ▪️ 50% OFF if you join my color grading masterclass (https://geni.us/AmazingFCPColorGrading) Remove Video Noise Easily | https://geni.us/neatvideo Best Film Emulation Plugin | https://geni.us/EMUL8 Great Echo/Room Noise Remover | https://geni.us/Deroom One Plugin Tool to Rule Them All | https://mvfx.co/DesignStudio/DylanJohn 📲 *WEBSITES/APPS I LOVE* Best Creative Asset Library | https://geni.us/Artlist2freemonths ▪️ Get 2 months free w/this link!
