I no longer mess with audio settings in Final Cut Pro because of this service. Upload your voice track and it comes back clean, balanced, and broadcast-ready. Revolutionary isn't an exaggeration. I can't recommend it enough.

FirstCut
The screen recording app that trumps every other one I've tried, made by my buddy Dylan Bates, The Final Cut Bro. The recording quality is superb, and the cursor smoothing with size adjustment makes your captures look instantly professional. You can adjust the color of the click outline, add click sounds, and even strip out silences automatically. Free trial with a watermark, then a one-time lifetime license.

Gling
AI that cuts your bad takes, pauses, and dead air automatically. Has drastically cut my talking-head editing time.

Soundly
The best way to house your sound effects library. Search, hit one keyboard shortcut, and the sound pastes straight onto your Final Cut timeline. No dragging, no importing.

Epidemic Sound
Real music from real people. No AI-generated tracks, and you can hear the difference. A deep catalog of songs and SFX with simple licensing. This is where I point creators for music.

Production Crate
It's a subscription now, and not as cheap as it used to be. But the overlays are still some of the best out there: 10,000+ pre-keyed VFX including explosions, muzzle flashes, fire, smoke, and debris. If you make action videos, this library is a cheat code.

OpusClip
Feed it your long-form videos and its AI pulls out the best moments as ready-to-post clips for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts, then adds captions in whatever style you want. A massive shortcut for repurposing content.

Payhip
The platform behind my store. It sells your digital products with instant delivery, has the best rates I have found anywhere, and they are not predatory about fees or lock-in. If you want to sell LUTs, presets, or sound packs, start here.

My teleprompter of choice for many years. It turns your phone into a teleprompter, and the VoiceTrack feature scrolls the script automatically as you speak, so you never race the prompter or lose your place.
