From Evan Selleck at Apple Insider.
I haven’t tried out Final Cut for iPad, I can use Final Cut Pro, very well in fact, but I don’t like it, and I don’t want to pay a subscription for it.
From Evan Selleck at Apple Insider, a great article on expansion chassis for Macs.
With the ridiculous $3000 for a Mac Pro over a Mac Studio, these expansion Chasis may seem a good choice for those not needing the PCI speed so much (for super fast storage).
From Joe Rossignol at MacRumors, this is exciting news, though I hope they add it to Mac as well, so it can be added to Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, since those are my editors of choice.
I really agree with this. I was someone who bought Final Cut when it came out and got a refund after 2 weeks, but years later when the program was better I bought it and learned it and got really good and made a list of thoughts and bugs, many of which have not been fixed all these years later.
And it insane that they haven’t given FCP Enterprise features and started using it on their shows for Apple TV, but without a big investment in time and money it really isn’t made for that.
They will keep it around, and have brought out a feature cut (and subscription) version on iPad, but they really aren’t pushing it, like they were with FCP 7 when they had actually overtaken AVID.
Filmic PRO is easily the best app for shooting video for iOS. WIth many essential features such as shooting flat and working with stabilizers. I would say anyone shooting on the iPhone should be using FiLMiCPro. It is just too bad it had to go subscription.
As a former owner of FiLMiCPro I get a download from within the app of FiLMic Legacy which has all the old features, but won’t keep being updated, so will stop working before too long, but at least it works for now, and a discount off the subscription.
The Update does look great, and the subscription model had better mean a steady stream of new features (I would love them to figure out how to get 23.976 if that is even possible). And I love the manual control sliders vs the wheels it previously was.
I just honestly hate subscriptions, especially on IOS. I already have to have he full Adobe Suite, I have Maxon’s Red Giant Suite, and a few others, and I don’t need IOS ones.
Honestly I hope EU regulators get on this and force Apple to be able to sort the store by purchase vs subscription.
The great Larry Jordan shares his thoughts on Final Cut Pro and it’s lackluster updates, as well as lack of response to old bugs. Apple is just keeping it running and adding new features, but not really dealing with old issues.
I have posted my thoughts on Final Cut Pro before, and it needs someone to really take control and steer this program to a professional future, one that Premiere and DaVinci are well on their way to. And it is weird that their is not an attempt for Apple to push it’s Apple TV shows to use it, which really says all you need to know about it’s professional capabilities.
So the WWDC is over, and the VisionPro glasses cost $3500, WTF! But even worse is the price difference on the MacPro vs the MacStudio.
So here is the Mac Studio almost fully loaded, except only 4TB hard drive instead of a possible 8 TB.
And here is the MacPro for 10,599!
You have to be kidding. I do want expansion, but at the price, is it really worth it? Looks like a Mac Studio is in my future.
So in the last week it started to look like the Mac Studio would get updated with M2 and the M2 Utlra, and it did, but Apple also released the Mac Pro with M2 Ultra, which seems to have the addition of PCI Slots and 2 extra thunderbolt ports.
I have needed a new Mac for a while as my iMac Pro is starting to show it’s age (and inability to clean it out), so one of these is in my Future, but which one, I don’t currently know. I need to look at the pages on the Mac Pro once I the web site gets updated after WWDC.
You can follow the WWDC Keynotes at MacRumors.
2 Extra Thunderbolt Ports and 2 HDI ports is great, though I wish there were more thunderbolt and USB ports.
From Ben Lovejoy at 9to5Mac, the Ryzen 7840 can beat Apple’s M2 chip, says AMD, but provides no proof. Of course no benchmarks nor battery charts, and it is energy efficiency that Apple Silicon is so good with. And also which M2? The lowest?
