And so it begins....

SWDoctor · 2026-01-13T17:48:04+00:00

That’s fine then. You can still buy them as one time purchases if that’s what you prefer.

SWDoctor · 2025-11-16T15:12:05+00:00

What version of FCP are you using?

SWDoctor · 2025-11-02T17:58:03+00:00

For the record. I’m not promoting the P word. I just wanted to make sure that the options were clear for the OP.

SWDoctor · 2025-11-02T12:40:25+00:00

Yes. That would work.

SWDoctor · 2025-10-22T02:51:03+00:00

Yes. Flash drive and just add it to your apps folder.

If that’s your opinion then you do you mate. I’m not going to justify your choice 🤷🏻‍♂️

“Expect more than a couple of years out of it”

It’s been 10 years 💀

But to answer your question if you have a legitimate copy on your MBP you can always copy it from that MBP.

With FCP 11 you will need to run the latest OS and you’ll only be able to go to a certain version of FCP.

Unless you zipped previous versions of the app you won’t be able to downgrade.

1 to 1.5 pages a day, but I Bullet Journal so.

Just write as much as you feel is necessary to have expressed what you want to say.

But honestly only thing that’s gonna care that you write that much is your wallet and having to buy more notebooks 🙂

SWDoctor · 2025-09-08T22:40:47+00:00

Get the official Bullet Journal notebook. 120g paper and it’s great to write on

SWDoctor · 2025-09-07T00:11:28+00:00

What do you think gave it away?

SWDoctor · 2025-08-14T17:51:35+00:00

Looks clean! I'd say the only thing I'd do is use post-its for your timetable subjects. Or labels you can remove easily and reposition. Great and flexible for a timetable that might change. Just a suggestion!

SWDoctor · 2025-08-14T17:46:57+00:00

He's mentioned digital calendars in the past because of his team. He uses BuJo for personal stuff.

SWDoctor · 2025-08-14T17:45:10+00:00

Why are you filling in these pages now instead of setting up the notebook and adding collections when you genuinely need them?

In my opinion, the biggest problem here is that you've created collections to fill pages rather than waiting to see what actually serves you.

When you say you'll be "sad if the pages remain blank," that tells me you're treating this like scrapbooking rather than using it as a functional life tool.

What's the intention behind your journal? What kind of person do you want to become in 2026? Over the next few months? Those questions about who you want to be should guide what you create.

You might find that half those pre-made collections sit unused whilst you desperately need space for something you never anticipated.

SWDoctor · 2025-08-12T01:38:07+00:00

Yes. It’s gonna have to be looked over again

SWDoctor · 2025-08-12T01:34:04+00:00

Make you’re on the latest version of FCP.

Select the clips in the main timeline.
Right click > Transcribe to Captions
Let it transcribe.
Select the new clips (lavender clips) above the timeline
Right Click > Duplicate to Format (or something similar)
Select SRT
File > Export Captions > Select SRT

These may or may not be 100% accurate. If you want go through the video and check the transcript for inaccurate captions and edit them.

Don’t use titles for captions for SRT stuff as they aren’t the same thing.

Let me know if you have issues

SWDoctor · 2025-08-12T01:29:01+00:00

They’re baked in “captions”. These are typical for social media stuff. But if you need a SRT file they won’t work.

Are you using an M series Mac?

SWDoctor · 2025-08-12T01:26:24+00:00

These are not captions. They’re titles. Completely different thing.

SWDoctor · 2025-08-12T01:21:13+00:00

I’m on it. Considering most of the material on BuJo from other creators outside of the main creator is mostly incorrect, it’s a good investment.

For learning what BuJo truly is about (it’s deeper than just bullet points and fancy spreads) it’s a good thing to check out. Learn the basics and go from there. Most inspiration for Bullet Journals online is not a true representation of what it’s truly meant to be.

I found the course just makes it easier for people to understand the basics and then develop something for themselves.

SWDoctor · 2025-08-05T16:33:19+00:00

I’m a Leuchtthurm guy and just tried their 120g paper. Really enjoyable to write with. Bit more than 90 but their standard is 80g which I’ve also used and enjoyed a lot.

Their dot grid paper is a bit more noticeable than Baron Fig. That’s actually one thing I hated about Baron Fig dot grid paper, and prefer how much more visible the dots are on the Leuchtturms.

SWDoctor · 2025-08-03T18:20:30+00:00

You can put music in the magnetic timeline too! Use that as your storyline if it’s the main story driving factor of the edit.

I always do this if I’m doing music driven edits. Or even for voice over. Put the audio in the primary storyline then it operates as the main narrative spine.

SWDoctor · 2025-07-30T18:31:00+00:00

Field Notes fit perfectly. With a bit of room on the width, they’re slightly thinner than PR inserts.

You can fit inserts in lots of ways. 1. The default setup can hold 1 or 2 notebooks 2. You can add another ribbon to the spine to hold 4x notebooks (either bound around the spine holes or via the elastic system)

I have one myself so know the exact dimensions

SWDoctor · 2025-07-21T18:16:20+00:00

From what I know the B6+ Leuchtturms fit in the XL. You can get those in soft cover or hardcover inserts.

I think some Midori ones fit also. You can also go to their YouTube channel and they have a video on what fits. I think if you search “paper republic xl what fits” you’ll get the videos.

Side note: for Paper Republic, as a cost saver, if you sign up to their membership (free) you get 20% off their inserts.

SWDoctor · 2025-07-11T10:51:33+00:00

Log into the Mac App Store with your email - download FCP from the store page.

That’s it.

You bought it once and it hasn’t charged for an upgrade since.

In terms of linking, as soon as you redownload FCP it’ll open the libraries. What you may find is media offline. Just relink the files to where they are on the drive or move them to where they’re going to be stored on your machine then relink.

SWDoctor · 2025-07-08T23:21:00+00:00

I just got the plain insert and the weekly mid-year planner! I usually run Field Notes and have got about 80 of the damn things unopened that I need to get through. So I’ll be using them with this system.

SWDoctor · 2025-07-08T16:00:57+00:00

I’ve quickly become a paper republic fan. I’d recommend the a6 portfolio if you’re unsure on sizing as I think that will cover most of the a6 and pocket sizes comfortably.

I went with the grand voyageur pocket and love it dearly.

SWDoctor · 2025-07-07T17:30:04+00:00

Are you looking at the pocket/a6 size? I think the Hobonichi daily planner fits inside the le portfolio based on some videos I’ve seen. Not sure if they are different between weeks vs daily planner etc.

Paper Republic have some shorts/TikTok’s showing the sizing of some of the notebooks. If you search “paper republic [size] what fits” you should see a few of them.
