Larry Jordan Commentary, What’s The Future of Apple Final Cut Pro?

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.

Final Cut Pro 10.6.2 update with duplicate clip from Scott Simmons at PVC

Scott Simmons from Pro Video Coalition has the latest on 10.6.2 update of Final Cut Pro.

I can’t believe they finally added duplicate clip detection, I have though there was no chance, as it had been so long that this had been missing, when every other editing program has this. And it has 2 ways to see the clips.

Final Cut Pro updated to 10.6.2 along with all of the Apple Pro Apps and a big iMovie for iOS update

The AI based Voice Isolation also sounds very interesting.

And now we will hopefully really see performance on an M1 ULTRA.

RedShark has a sponsored look at the new ColourLab 2.0 Public Beta

Simon Wyndham at Redshark has a sponsored look at the the new ColourLab 2.0 Public Beta.

I have to admit the AI powers of ColourLab 2.0 look very impressive, and I love that they have added Adobe Premiere and Apple Final Cut Pro integration instead of just DaVinci Integration.

Colourlab is a subscription for creator which is $129 a year for Premiere and Final Cut, $299 a year for Pro which includes DaVinci or $599 for a permanent license, which is by far the best deal.

Apple adds another free update to Final Cut Pro and Logic for the M1 Pro and M1 Max

Yesterday Apple updated both Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro to take advantage of the new MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and M1 Max.

Final Cut Pro has hit version 10.6.

It includes the ability to edit cinematic mode videos. And on the M1 Pro and Max it can not support 7 streams of 8K ProRES at full resolution (they do have a ProRES playback module!) and export ProRES up to 5x faster. And it now has a built in Object tracker

Motion can render 2x faster and cvan play 2 streams of 8K video at 5x the frame rate.

And on the MacBook Pro Compressor can transcode HEVC Video up to 2x faster and transcode ProRES up to 10x faster.

Logic Pro hits version 10.7

And this one focuses on Spacial Audio, with Dolby Atmos Music files.

Always love Apple giving new free upgrades to their software. Now I just hope Adobe gets support for Cinematic Mode soon in Premiere Pro.
