{ REMINDER : please do not steal anything I make and claim them as your own, that is all that I ask in return. If I want credit for anything I had made such as colorings, overlays, etc, I will tell you. Failure to complete those actions will result in me fighting you and advise not to do that. }

USING THE SIDE MENU

okay so to be able to even do anything in FCP, you need to know what these side tabs do. let's start with the first one and work our way across. 

EFFECTS 

this tab includes all of the effects you can use to effect the video/clip itself, not anything like the transitions. this is where you will find your colorings you have downloaded and also where you can get cool things such as mirroring, earthquake effect, and much, much more. I won't go into detail about each effect, but in order to use these, just drag the one you want to use to the clip  you want it in. 

for colorings, after you drag them to the clip, you can see this pictured below in the top right hand corner, which is used for tweaking that coloring, such as the exposure and saturation. I use this a lot when editing, since all clips are different and that coloring I'm using won't always be perfect 100% of the time.
