1st FCPX Project – Video Went Viral – Feedback Please
I finished my first Final Cut Pro X project last weekend, I am not completely pleased with it, but I was at my limits regarding ideas etc.
The video went viral in Germany, they even posted it on the news portal of a German Music Channel, and it was mentioned and shortly previewed on TV during a TV show speaking about the victim the video is about.
The entire video was shot at my apartment; kitchen, living room, bedroom, green screen… with some the cheapest lighting i could find.
I noticed some mistakes I made when shooting, but I would really appreciate all of your so much more experienced feedback, so I can keep all that in mind when doing my next project.

Wow, that did go viral. Congrats! What kind of camera did you shoot it with? Did you use the color corrector in FCPX?

One million hits in under a week! Nice.

i shot the entire footage with my canon 7d, and yes i don’t own any special effects or filter, i think i overused color correction though for this video. especially in the green screen scenes, i used 3-4 color correction layers giving it that almost anime level color (can i call those layers / sorry i’m still new to the software, the entire process was basically learning by doing). fcpx’s color correction is truly amazing!

I bought it, tried it, but without the tactile touch it’s really hard to use. Haven’t used more than twice.

Excellent! Don’t worry about your flaws on this, just accept it as a hit because you got the storytelling right, your work was timely, and it hit your audience where it counts, making them want to share.
It looks ok to me without knowing your original ideas. All tools are just that, tools, none of us really know or care what brush a painter used to paint a masterpiece, and plenty of musicians have made hits on low end guitars. FCPX is capable of doing a lot of things, as is it’s competitors.
Now for the second act and the attempt to best this!
By the way, you might want to subtitle it for use overseas. You might get a wider US audience by at least helping us poor souls who don’t speak German!

thanks for the feedback, i do want to know about my flaws though because this is my first fcpx project, it would be very helpful to know what i could improve on.
english subtitles for a german song, great idea, but a little trouble some, i think some phrases would sound really idiotic translated directly but i’ll give it a shot, haven’t tried the caption function yet on youtube, but i’ll see if i can use that to add subs.
