Larry Jordan on a workaround to create a dynamic link between Adobe Photoshop and Final Cut Pro
Another useful article from the great Larry Jordan.
Apple Updated Final Cut Pro 10.7 with timeline scrolling and Apple Silicon Optimization
Jeff Benjamin at 9 to 5 Mac has a good article on all the new features.
Great to see them still updating Final Cut, though i still have a list of bugs they haven’t as of yet addressed.
And it really needs to catch up on text editing and AI transcription features, that Premiere and DaVinci both have.
Appleinsider on the latest Final Cut Pro for iPad update adding new keyboard shortcuts
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.
Larry Jordan Commentary, What’s The Future of Apple Final Cut Pro?
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.
Larry Jordan asks What the Future of Apple Final Cut Pro?
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.
Jonny Elwyn on Matching 2 different Cameras Using Cinematch
Jonny Elwyn has an excellent article on using Cinematch to match 2 different Cameras. And you can use his Promo Code at Cinematch for the $125 Plug in (for either Premiere, DaVinci or FCP or $174 as a Bundle).
This is another extensive article and well worth a read.
I would love this tech, since the company I have been working for seems to use 2 different cameras always, and different settings every time, but getting info is like pulling teeth, and the EXIF route seems more difficult than just throwing it in Resolve and fixing it by eye, maybe not as well matched, but visually matched.
I do really like the idea of this match, but also they don’t have my DJI Pocket 2 in here, which would be my second camera most of the time.
Scott Simmons at PVC Reviews Final Cut Pro on the iPad
I still am not a big fan of Final Cut Pro, though I am an expert on it, so I doubt I will even try it out on the iPad, but some of the omissions do seem curious, like having limited color correction when DaVinci has full color (though missing the edit page, so you really can’t talk about DaVinci).
Still the fact that the already wonky Project naming schemes seems different here is literally insane. Just follow fucking industry standards already!
And no second storylines also seems pretty huge.
Apple brings it’s Pro Apps Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro to the iPad, but makes it subscription
Apple will soon be releasing touch based Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for high end iPads, but as subscriptions at $4.99 a month or $49 a year.
Logic will work on any iPad with an A12 Bionic or later and Final Cut will only work 5th or 6th gen 12.9 inch iPad Pro, 3rd or 4th gen 11 in iPad Pro or 5th generation iPad Air.
I love that Apple is finally treating the iPad as pro as other companies, but I hate that it is subscription. I would rather pay $99 for a lifetime than have a monthly fee.
The month free is great, but if I had the program I might use it, but paying monthly for it, unless i am making a living off of it. And sure it is cheap monthly, but I just don’t see any subscription that I am not making a living off of.
AppleInsider on editing alternatives to iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve
Nathaniel Pangaro at Apple Insider has an article entitled, “The best video editors for MacOS when iMovie doesn’t cut it.” and basically takes a look at Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
Scott Simmons at PVC on his single most loved feature in Adobe Premiere Pro, customization, and he is right
Scott Simmons at the ProVideoCoalition has a great article entitled, “My single most loved feature in Adobe Premiere Pro.”
Customization is really the best thing about Premiere Pro.
Of course AVID was the start of this because every editor doesn’t want to work the same way or have the same setup to work on, so being able to have your own setup is so important and AVID premiered this feature in the editing space.
The original Apple Final Cut Pro also had this feature.
The new Final Cut Pro, previously Final Cut Pro X, did away with this and wants you to edit their way. You don’t have as many ways to do things and you really can’t do a lot of customization in the workspace.
DaVinci Resolve has added editing to it’s color correction program and it is great, but it also does not let you customize, it is once again how they want you to edit. Yes you can use one or two monitors, but the windows are all very fixed where they are.
Premiere though is like AVID in customization, but adds to it, especially with so many available 3rd party extensions, like from AESCRIPTS, and it’s extensive keyboard shortcut options.
Scott Simmons is so right that Premiere’s customization abilities are it’s absolute best feature and it is a shame that DaVinci Resolve doesn’t allow the same customization.
