Mastering Final Cut Pro X with Andy To

Mastering Final Cut Pro X with Andy To — edit travel films like the guy Apple calls to show off the iPhone

The gist: If your travel clips sit unedited because you don't know what to do with them in Final Cut, this lesson walks through the exact process a filmmaker known for cinematic iPhone travel films actually uses.

• Taught by a genuinely recognized mobile filmmaker: Andy To is self-taught and known for iPhone travel films impressive enough that Apple CEO Tim Cook has taken notice of his work.
• Full editing workflow: covers generating selects, finding music, and using graphics, text, and transitions — the pieces that turn raw clips into a finished travel film.
• Filmed on location in NYC: you see Andy actually shooting and editing in the field, not just talking through slides.
• Built for fast-paced travel content: the lesson is aimed at engaging, quick-cut travel films with music and transitions, not slow cinematic documentaries.

Inverse's feature on Andy To's process notes he typically spends around 2 hours editing a single 1-minute film, with meticulous attention to sound effects, audio fades, and framing — the level of care this lesson is built to teach.

Best for: travelers who shoot on iPhone and want to actually finish and share cinematic trip recaps. Skip it if: you shoot exclusively on a dedicated camera rather than a phone. Runs ~$25 — check the current price before buying.
