You can do a lot with Final Cut Pro's built-in tools and plugins, so you don't need to buy third party plugins to make better videos.

But, third party plugins will allow you to carry out certain tasks faster, easier and will often give you additional functionality and features that FCP does not have.

As you advance as an editor, certain plugins become a must, so have a look at some of my favorite plugins that I use regularly.

I have always been interested in what other creators use to make their videos from the camera and lens combinations to accessories and what lights they use in the studio. I love seeing what tools are used to create the final product that we see on our screens.

There are so many great sources of royalty free music to use for editing online. Some of the free sources are hard to find and the quality and variety is not always that good.

I believe that you get the best music using a paid service and it makes the music search process much faster and easier.

I make use of mostly paid and some free music websites for all of my YouTube videos and client videos.
