![]() ![]() Right now, I’m editing project with 4K XAVC footage on a MacBook Pro that doesn’t have ‘real’ dedicated graphics.Īll of this wouldn’t be possible without FCPX’s simple proxy editing feature upon import. To supplement my desire to now exclusively work on FCPX if the project allows it, I now choose to edit on my older MBP over my super changed custom PC in the office. Despite losing a sizeable market share, it stuck to its guns in the belief that this is the future of editing and rightly so. The money/time saved ratio in itself is a winner alone.Īpple’s vision and decision to redesign is becoming clearer. I will have it completed within three days or less using FCPX. ![]() If a project is to take me seven days to edit on Premiere Pro or MC. I simply cannot stress how efficient my workflow is now. The stress of knocking your entire sequence out of sync is gone. I simply love how FCPX just gets out of my way and allows ideas to flow. Approaching the magnetic timeline with fresh eyes, it presented itself in a new light. My initial reaction was: “What is this magic?” Forgetting the fact that I’m ploughing through UHD footage on an ‘underpowered’ MacBook Pro but being able to quickly execute ideas in my head in a few clicks is liberating. Thanks to my one off payment of £199 (at the time) and Apple still honouring its commitment to keeping the upgrades free even after six years, I blew the dust off a lower powered (Iris Pro) MacBook 15” and gave FCPX one more shot. That was until October 31st, 2016.Īpple then released FCPX v10.3 and it all started with this video. Like many others I jumped ship over to Premier Pro and haven’t look back since. These were my tools for story telling and for what? Apple dragged it’s heels like a crazed grinning Jack Torrance wielding an axe and destroyed all that was beautiful and took seven years of MY experience with them. I spent thousands of man hours trying to master my craft with the tools presented. My humble beginnings of video editing dated back to 2003 using Final Cut Express all the way through to the mighty FCP7. Why is my timeline constantly moving? What’s this Fischer Price effects on my side?! Away back to iMovie, with you! I’m a pro here. Spat the dummy and thew all the toys out the pram. So once upon a time, FCPX was released and, like most of you, I hated it. Opinion: Final Cut Pro X might have driven swarms of editors into the arms of Apple’s rivals, but with FCPX 10.3 Apple finally delivered on the promise of the software and, if you edit, you owe it to yourself to leave your preconceptions at the door and check it out. ![]()
