That Video Role in Multicam is MASSIVE for me. I’m in the middle of editing a 13 camera concert shoot that’s over 1h40m long. This will be super helpful. Thanks Apple (and Steve for pointing that out) ❤🤘🤩
Switched to DaVinci Resolve two months back, the way FCPX handles timelines, DaVinci resolve sucks on that, it was very very tough to understand how DaVinci timeline works, FCPX timeline feels like natural or may be FCPX was my first editing software which I only used since day one and now my muscle memory is having a hard time. I gave my self 6 months before reopening FCPX and then ill see how many DR moves ill try to apply in FCPX. Great video you guys are always very helpful
Wow…that machine learning motion tracker is COOL. I could have used that on a travel video I did last summer and trying to blur out my car license plate in several scenes… Good stuff
Great video. Nice to see FCP getting some updates. I have one really pedantic nitpick: Gaussian blurs are named after the mathematician Karl Gauss, and so the correct way of pronouncing Gaussian is not “goz-ian,” but “Gow-sian.” 9:40
I've been watching/subscribed to you all for years and by far y'all have the BEST FCPX/Motion Tutorials out there! Thorough, informative, and excellent presentations that unlock our full potential as creators/editors-! Thanks for all the great work you've done and continue to do. You have been an invaluable resource for me over the years. Again, thanks!
The scrolling timeline is an amazing feature, but many of us have wanted this since the day FCPx was released. What took them so long? It’s more useful than many of the great features they’ve added over the years.
Great job Mark and Steve - as always! Beautifully presented, with clear, informative and succinct demonstrations of the new features. Good to see the Apple development team giving some love to Final Cut Pro. In addition to this welcome update today, updates are also available for iMovie, Motion and Compressor - plus a security update for macOS Sonoma (now version 14.1.2). Best Wishes from Australia!
Thank you for the visuals on connected clips. I hadn’t thought I’d use these, but I see the value is tremendous for one of my clients where my timeline can be very complicated at times. 👍
Love the new video roles. Kinda wish they would make them more visual in the timeline: make the top of the thumbnail frame the video role color and color the audio waveform per the audio role; if the waves aren't displayed, color the bottom line of the thumbnail's box according to the audio role. But otherwise, really well done
I love your walk through of the FCP new features. I have subscribed and find your content helpful. Thank for inspiring me to improve my editing techniques.
Thanks for the quick update to show me how to turn on the scrolling timeline. It's rather jolty on my M1, not as smooth as I'd like. Is it kind of jittery for others?
Compared to recent firefly announcements, the FCP update looks like straight garbage. Been using FCP since 2012 and it has changed to little since then and not in a good way... Divinci gets more recognition than FCP at their own events. Any notice the last announcement shot on iPhone 15 was edited in davinci, not FCP? Why won't they just sell FCP to some that will innovate it?
I enjoy using Final Cut however they aren’t listening to their users who spend the time & money on the software. Final Cut is severely behind the competition. If this 10.7 is the best they decided to come up with they have failed us users. Thanks for the content 👌🏽
I was thinking the same thing. As an editor that started with a Matrox Digisuite running Adobe Premiere 5.0. I've seen the progression of non-linear editing software, and still feel FCPX is far behind other options even CAPCUT. I know most of the original FCP dev team were laid off, and immediately hired by Adobe in the mid 2000's when they shifted into mostly making Iphones. Oh what could have been...
Apple FCP... Apple finally came to the party 12y5m9d after release of 10.0 to bring smooth scrolling to the timeline. To me, and guess every other person using tcp, it was a critical basic feature that was missing. Thanks guys for your up to date videos, much appreciated.
( Adobe Media encoder is no issue that same process and it’s working fine. ) I like apple compressor but for this issue I using adobe media for some work…
Too late using DaVinci Resolve and not going back. I hated that I had to buy plugins for things Resolve Studio provided with better implementation for one fee. I hated the default magnetic timeline. It always felt like Premiere Elements. Nodes, Fusion, and other powerful features even in the free version of Resolve. Resolve also edits my NRAW footage.
They missed one thing for the iPad - The ability to edit files from an external drive. I won’t use FCP on the iPad until they do that. I mean, you can with Luma Fusion and Resolve. Other than that a great update.
Scrolling time line, finally after so long of waiting it's only been on garage band etc for years, and connected time lines finally too ! The tracking features are fantastic on M3 MAX, and so is export, finding render times are 10 percent faster , which were "SCAREY" FAST already on a M3 MAX, while only small features added for Final Cut, it all make my day way better and faster ! lets hope the next release has way more features for Apple silicon based Macs, its really time to leave INTEL in the dust at this stage.
Chris Hocking - the creator of Command Post said at the summit that it is no longer necessary. I would not be suprised if he removed it in the next version.
Not huge feature upgrade for iPad version. Still no stabiliser for clips like Mac version but only if you’re using the camera pro. Have to wait for version 1.4.
Awesome, Thanks, Quick question, I know I have to Compress my older version but are my motion templates folders and plugins effected with the new update and do I have to make a copy of all my FX, Transitons etc etc folders before updating? Or does FCPX not change anything in those folders or plugins? Thanks!!!
I live in Sydney and it's not here in the OZ store yet! We R always behind the US in the Mac app store! So, we can expect update(s) to your FCP videos?
Scrolling timeline wasn’t FCP biggest issue.. Question is, does FCP take RAW footage now? I’m tired of using other application to export my footage just to go edit on FCP…
Is anyone else having issues with "Allow export segmentation" not showing up? I'm on a M2 Mac Mini and as far as I can tell, all the other updates on FCP 10.7 show up. I updated the OS to Sonoma thinking that was the issue and it still isn't showing up. Any ideas?
REALLY GUYS, a scrolling timeline is a big feature? Apple has dropped the ball. Its simply not giving us as professionals what we need for a group work environment. They ignored the requests from the 100 editor letter.
Unfortunately Apple has proven it’s not trying to appeal to a professional editor anymore. Eventually they’ll probably drop fcpx for Mac because they think the future of editing on an iPad and phone is where 99% of people will edit. Which might be true for consumers. Premiere and Davinci are so far ahead of Apple with innovation it’s ridiculous. It’s unfortunate because I love fcpx but it just can’t compete anymore.
Scrolling timeline IS a big feature for FCP users. As far as "professionals" go, the video arena is now filled with content creators on social media. FCP is fine for that. That's their niche.
Nothing groundbreaking here, in fact some of the updates I find rather redundant. The object tracker is cool, though. Still disappointed in the extremely limited choice of ROLE colors. Stopped watching at the iPad segment.
Hey there guys, when comes fot the H.264 export with all export segmentation, I do not see that option, Ive got a mac mini with the M2 pro chip and running the latest OSX sanomo. Do you know why that might be missing?
Do I have to activate the option to collapse to connected storyline? I don't get that option...I'm on 10.7 and the timeline scrolling works. EDIT: In the German version it's placed differently than shown here: it's at the top of the context menu when right clicking.
Is that it? So much excitement for these tiny features? 😂😂😂😂They won’t make any significant difference in the editing workflow. Apple has abandoned FCP. Let’s all editors band together and buy the pro division from Apple, and turn Final Cut Pro into the app we really want.
Really nothing useful for iPad. I want to use LUTs. I bought a new iPad before Final Cut for iPad came out with great anticipation. I was disappointed.
Hello, I haven't commented here yet, but now is the time. The videos you have been making for many years are very good and you can learn from them. The problem is Apple's idiotic thinking. It is a big mistake to make the finalcut program for the iPad, so the menu layout is completely different than in the Mac version!!! Apple treats its users as stupid, believing that everyone will adapt to its stupid thinking indefinitely. If a program has already been made for a Mac, it must look exactly the same on the iPad!!!! I think you know what I'm talking about, for example, the layout of all the menus was done wrong. If you are related to these bohos, please write this to them. I don't write to them because I couldn't tell them anything other than swearing.
The iPad version is designed to be touch-driven, which is totally different from the Mac version, and requires a completely different approach. IMHO Apple did a fantastic job of making FCP for iPad look & feel very familiar to FCP Mac users while at the same time making it highly functional via a touch interface.
Can you be a bit more specific. What in FCP isn't working for you? Or are you saying that FCP, the editing program that millions of people use every day doesn't work?
why apple, why...I still miss Final Cut 7. I truly believe if they continued on that path everyone wouldn't be switching to Davinci now. I believe they would have stayed ahead
@@rippleguys yeah I know it's not, in fact it's a nightmare sometimes. Back in the day Final Cut was it though, they were ahead of the pack, I just loved using it over Premiere and Avid. I wander if they're happy with the direction they took
@@justinepaula-robilliard wow, you still use FC 7? ultimately, I think it was a money grab, they thought this new version would make more money by appealing to the iMovie or a wider fanbase by being more user friendly, that's why I don't understand why they didn't just upgrade iMovie and continue the professional Final Cut, I can't imagine they were loosing money...maybe they were.
@@LonzosStudios I can assure you Apple is not losing money on FCP - FCP 7 was the most popular NLE of all in 2011 - apple simply wanted a more modern NLE and they had the balls and resources to do what no other company would
@@rippleguys I don't mind the more modern interface just seem like they downgraded in pro features...take Pro Tools for example, about the same their interface was also old and outdated but they upgraded without omitting all the pro features we've grown accustomed to
Typical Apple! You have to upgrade your system software before it will work. When you upgrade you lose all of your paid apps that magically turn into Subscriptions
@@rippleguys I've been with Apple since the beginning. (Late1980s) I don't care for PC. the only way this new Final Cut Pro 10.7 will work is if you upgrade your system software to the latest version! The new Final Cut Pro 10.7 will not work on system software [macOS 12.6 (21G115)] I've updated my other computers and lost software because they no longer honor certain applications in this country! Please do your research before he say No! I have talk with Apple and they agreed with me. There's no other work around. Unless do a recomplete system install from another country. Preferably the one that you want the apps to work that don't work in this country
