It’s over for Final Cut Pro. It can drop the pro. After what Apple said at WWDC about final cut and how they highlighted DaVinci resolve has really sealed final cut’s fate to be more a capcut competitor than a serious professional tool. And I have completely lost confidence and hope for the future Pro version of final cut pro. With the Final Cut Pro 10.8 bringing kinda cool features, will the next one prove me wrong and bring all the pro features and Apple intelligence we have been asking for?

I would cry; there are things I don't love about Blackmagic in general-I had to delete most of this comment, since it turned into a mildly schizophrenic rant about cameras shipping in 2023 with horribly unreliable exFAT CFast 2.0 slots and janky USB 3.1 ports, that are too slow, mind you, to even keep up with the insane amount of data some of these cames output, rather than just exposing standard PCI-Express-based storage, as well as the cinema world's mind-boggling obsessionw with Thunderbolt when Ethernet is essentially the standard fabric for literally everything else at this point, with 100Gbps NICs on eBay for $80, 400Gbps available for several years now, and 800Gbps coming soon. That said, Blackmagic is one of the few manufacturers who hasn't been totally evil, made cinema significantly more accessible and open, and most importantly for me: their software isn't limited to macOS or Windows. One really nice thing about DaVinci Resolve is that it has native Linux support; I don't have to worry about Apple fucking me over every few years by dropping support for perfectly usable hardware, turning it into e-waste; I don't have to deal with the super flawed, corruption-prone APFS, or NTFS; and there is nothing that comes close to the audio latency you can get from Pipewire and a semi-realtime kernel on Linux. It's been a dream compared to anything else. If Apple were to buyout BMD, I would be very surprised if other platforms did not slowly but slowly but abrutply discontinued with little warning. I am very happy being able to use a system I can put together with powerful off-the-shelf commodity hardware, having the freedom to tune the system to my performance needs, and the ability to audit, strip, and lock things down; I can't get that with Apple or Microsoft.

@007Yasir 3 месяца назад

😮 If Apple bought Resolve, they will ruin it, BMD makes gear and gives away Resolve Studio for free if you bought a BMD camera gear. BMD continues to update Resolve, unlike Apple they don’t do a good job as they used to do in the past. BMD listen to their users, Apple no longer does, all they ask from you is to report it!

I use FCP everyday and will continue to use it because it's faster at doing the tasks I need it to do to produce income. Ive heard this same argument for a while, it's not like people weren't saying that about legacy FCP when comparing it to AVID. It's always the hands and the mind of the editor, at least for now, that is responsible for producing great content, not the software. FCP is more than capable on almost all fronts. Does it take workarounds on a few things? sure. But its efficiencies outweigh its deficiencies. at the end of the day, use whatever you want.

I’ve edited hour long Documentaries, wedding films, commercials and so many other heavy projects in FCP, I also use it to color everything I film. I definitely wouldn’t say it’s a “consumer software” or less of a tool just because it doesn’t have AI features. Maybe it’s just not for everyone, just like PP wasn’t for me.

@vladimirtalijan 3 месяца назад

Kind of cool? No NLE has anything even close to "Enhance light and color" option that works like that. The only reason why you would use Davinci is exactly why you're using it, not because it's better but because you work with people who are using it so you're practically forced to use it. For solo editors there is nothing even close to Final Cut, no matter how it's called, and that's like 98% of the market :)

@RafaelLudwig 3 месяца назад

I agree and that is what I said in the video, and yes the enhance light and color is kinda cool, it's one step above auto color balance with more fine tuning. I love FCP as a crew of one, and 98% of the Mac market, which is only 11% of the total market.

And if you are bulding your own team, just focus on FCP. I own my editing studio, so if Windows got in there, that would be on me. How did he end up with "all these tools" on different platforms? Heck, for us, Linux WOULD be the second choice platform, not Windows.

@nauticfilms 3 месяца назад

@@RafaelLudwig CapCut is not “free”. You pay by giving away a lot of privacy and rights, don’t you? I use it sometimes for quick social media versioning of client videos. It creates dynamic captions so effortlessly, that is tempting. But I do feel guilty when I use it, as I am submitting material that my client paid for to the TikTok machine. I have my doubts, because I feel that I am legally in a grey zone as soon as I upload any client footage to CapCut.

@AgentProduction88 3 месяца назад

To be completely honest, FCP isn't even a competitor for CapCut; it's not even close. CapCut works on Windows, Mac, mobile, and browser, and offers built-in features like auto-captioning, text-based editing, magic mask, collaborative editing, a keyframe editor, built-in video and photo enhancers, magic light etc. FCP has lost its professional edge and has become just a basic editor. It's basically the new iMovie and people fail to realize that.

@AgentProduction88 3 месяца назад

If you're a professional, wake up and learn something new like DaVinci Resolve. That's just the reality. Don't get stuck. FCP will always be there for you, but you need to adapt. Collaborative editing is a must these days, and FCP just doesn't support that.

I’m actually looking forward to next final cut pro update. The ease pf use sometime underestimated. For content creators who are more focused on story rather than visual quality this is great option for fast workflow. For me having both davinci resolve and final cut is a great option, for fast youtube videos my go to is final cut pro but for film festival short films and collaborating with colour corrector and sound designer davinci is awesome. So I actually like this divergence to give us more diverse tools rather than two tools that do pretty much the same thing.

@WarrenPeaceOG 3 месяца назад

I learned to edit on FCP 1.25 with the traditional NLE design. When FCPX arrived, I carefully read all about how it was designed and adopted a whole new workflow for organizing and editing, which I still feel is far superior. I can't go back. I use Resolve for processing raw and Fusion for VFX. Installing Whisper Ai locally for transcriptions has changed everything. Dealing with online transcription sucked. I'm glad that era is gone.

@RafaelLudwig 3 месяца назад

Capcut is free and easy to use, Final Cut is easy to use but not free. The amount of progress CapCut has made in the last 2 years is embarrassing compared to FCP. Another year or 2 and it'll have more capabilities than FCP and a vastly larger user base. Apple has no reason to continue seriously developing FCP when other companies are doing it for free for them. The new generation of content creators are learning on CapCut, and professionals are using DR. FCP user base is not growing, and Apple has a track record of promising pros one thing and not delivering or delivering the bare minimum (ahem Silicon Mac Pro) If it doesn't get banned in the states, Capcut is coming to eat FCP's lunch with the creative consumer. DR already ate the Pro lunch. It's over! But I made a video about how Apple could capitalize if the CapCut ban happens.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ag96jZb-I1g.html

@brotherted9212 3 месяца назад

Admittedly, I only use FCPX and have never used DV, but I came here to see the primary features I’m missing. Looks like they are Windows version, deeper sound editing & deeper color grading. I don’t need Windows - for years I’ve worked in an all Mac shop. I could see the value in more sophisticated color grading - even AI color grading - but the FCPX tools have been adequate for me. The main improvement I’d wish for would be better audio management - even just an extensive graphic equalizer. But not only is this a fairly rare need, and not only could this easily appear in a next upgrade, but it’s even not so hard to process audio separately in a different app in the rare situation I’d need that. Did I miss any *other* key FCPX failings?

I will not switch from FCP to any other video editor, because for my current projects it is the best in terms of stability and speed. For example, on Mac mini M1 with minimal configuration multi-camera project with color correction and graphics layer it renders fast enough, - in a minute and a few seconds it renders a ten-minute video. DaVinci on a Mac mini will only be able to run, but it can't run on such weak hardware.

@Filmyak01 3 месяца назад

That's absurd. Apple loves their third party apps, which is why they showcase Resolve and Premiere (and others) regularly. They are crucial to a robust computer platform. As for being your "one stop shop" -- that is clearly not their goal. They are an editing platform. Not a VFX one. Not a high end mixing one. And the renaming effects, and search filter for effects -- are both crucial tools to the professional editing community. This doom and gloom stuff is so tiring.

@RafaelLudwig 3 месяца назад

I want to be able to use FCP on every project, that is what I mean by one stop shop. Personal and client projects. It would be nice to finish, mix and deliver in FCP but that is not the case, so more and more I have to start and finish edits in other apps. For a crew of one, it's great!

I have been using it in my professional workflow for years. I've produced anything from corporate video to film to television with Final Cut Pro and it has made me hundreds of thousands of dollars. I've also done this without paying more than the $299 that I paid for it in 2012. Does Final Cut have issues? Yes, but so does every other system out there.

Here's what you missed: Final Cut Pro is STILL a superior editor to anything else out there. Try doing a retime curve on Davinci and count the number of steps. Final Cut Pro lacks in other departments such as sound (sidechaining anyone?) and color grading. It is superior in keywording, batch exports, performance with 10+ bit 4K footage. It sucks in color management (Color Space Transform is dearly needed). I mainly agree with you and have bought Davinci and using it almost exclusively nowadays. However for editing Davinci is eons behind, I can edit 3 times faster in FCP. XML transfers to Davinci are still a pain.

I agree with you there will always be a place for fcpx because it manages to balance the right amount of professional capabilities with a consumer friendly tools designed for ease of use, and obviously transcoding media to cinema dng is time and storage consuming.

I think you’re right - if you are a hardcore Pro Davinci is arguably peerless at this stage. Me, I’m a graphic designer and video content creator and FCP has always been my go-to for speed and simplicity, and I hope it will always stay that way. As long as Apple keep supporting and improving it on that level (and please add a few desperately needed features like auto caption-creation) I’m happy for the distinction. As for Premier, nah, no way, I’d sooner learn Davinci for sure.

@williamrgrant Месяц назад

I use Davinci for everything and I am the typical "one man show" who produces little video here and there for family and orgs I'm involved with. I also have live/recording audio background. Because of this, I absolutely cannot deal with the "iMovie-esque" audio system in FCPX. Fairlight wins me over, being intuitive to all other DAW-type software. I love that in Davinci I can throw an adjustment clip over a whole bunch of clips from one venue and color grade them all (to 95%) in one shot. Then do the same for the audio track. I can cut, edit, color correct, tweak audio, transitions, and deliver a video blazingly fast in Davinci compared to FCPX. All the crazy tools are there to do advanced stuff, but I barely use most of them. The appeal to Davinci for me is that each of the 'pages' presents the info in a way that allows for intuitive use if you have some background in that area, say color, or audio. As opposed to FCPX which forces you to use an inspector-driven and individual-clip approach for everything. Even when it is an entirely sub-optimal workflow - audio in my case.

@RafaelLudwig Месяц назад

Right on! Yeah the audio is leaps over anything FCP could do. Apple would have to integrate Logic into FCP to come close. DR is clearly the winner for you. Thanks for watching and the comment Will!

I've edited multiple feature films. Avid, Premiere, Resolve, and FCPX...FCPX is without question far and away still my favorite editor and it's not even close. Even with working with my team, granted I only have 4 employees, being an FCPX power user was always a part of my hiring process and we fly through it. The fact that Will Smith and Margot Robbie's "FOCUS" as well as "Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot" and multiple other major studio films have been cut on FCPX over the past decade, this is a ridiculous take lol.

@RafaelLudwig Месяц назад

The fact that you have to reference movies from almost a decade ago and working in a small team is proving my point. Look at the list of movies made with Final Cut Pro 7 vs X is a clear sign that Hollywood moved on. Sure Final Cut X has made dozens of Hollywood movies over the last decade - that makes it bespoke at best, not a power house editor. Can the current Final Cut make award winning work, yes. Is it the best for a crew of one, yes, It is the professional industry standard, no, not by a long shot. It is a powerful prosumer tool. Thanks for watching and the comment!

@thegatewaytoprestige Месяц назад

@@RafaelLudwig The reason it switched up when 7 jumped to X is because old dogs and new tracks yadda yadda yadda. You weren’t convincing guys used to 7 and Avid to learn the magnetic timeline. Every jumped ship to FCP 8, aka Premiere

I don’t know why I got cut off lol. Anyway, everyone hopped on FCP8 aka Premiere, and quite frankly, it makes sense. People don’t really want to learn new things when they’re stuck in their ways and you’ve got guys coming off of the Studio/Shake combination workflow and here comes Apple, talking this crazy “magnetic timeline” theory. Turns out, they were correct tho. Pound for pound IMO it is still the absolute best editor out there and if your entire studio runs on it it’s multitudes more efficient than the others 💯

Thanks for the video, sorry for the off topic, but can someone do a good FCPX with Sony clips roundtrip to Davinci and back again tutorial? I have searched everywhere and can only find old ones that do not work properly. Every single time I try to do it there is some kind of problem. Media not not found in Davinci due to the Timecode problems, which I cn fix manually which is already a PIA, but then Davinci NEVER recognizes my crops and transforms and is useless. I am sure I'm not the Only Sony users and FCPX users that would like to color grade in Davinci. I would actually try Davinci for everything if they had a way of selecting my favorite clips and building a timeline off those selects as fast and easy as FCPX. As for now, there are too many extra folders or keystrokes needed to do it. I can BLAZE through my clips, Hit I/O then F and then only looks at my favorites to build my timeline, There is NO other way in any program to do it faster. Thanks if anybody can make or know where there is a proper FCPX---} to Davinci and Back workflow with Sony clips. PLEASE!!!

Frustrating but a simple fix with the Sony camera Timecodes - download commandpost (free extension for Macs) and use Sony Timecode repair in the tool box - it has saved my butt many times commandpost.io/toolbox/sony-timecode/ It may not solve the crops and transforms perfectly, (if at all) but it'll solve the timecode.

I Think you lack some knowledge about Black magic design. DaVinci resolve is a free editing software with a paid upgrade available. But, they dont earn their money from any of it. BMD earn their primary revenue from hardware like cameras. That is also why they give you an almost free speed editor if you buy the studio version of davinci.
