Timecode overlays, slipping and match framing are nothing new but we found three tutorials that show how to easily use\u00a0them in FCPX.<\/h2>\n

For any video editor, knowing techniques that streamline your process saves you time and money. While the tips\u00a0below aren’t\u00a0exclusive to FCPX, they are fundamental to the video editing process. With that said, we’ll turn it over to\u00a0Janet Dalton<\/a> at Manhattan Edit Workshop<\/a> who has created three tutorials that demonstrate video\u00a0editing principles: using a timecode overlay, slipping a clip and then matching frames.<\/p>\n

Timecode Overlay<\/h3>\n

We’ll start with the timecode overlay<\/strong>. Janet runs through the steps of adding timecode to your footage by way of the FCPX generator. Using timecode on footage comes in handy when logging clips or syncing captured video to separately recorded audio.<\/p>\n
