![]()  Initially there’s no visible change, until you choose Clip > Expand Audio Components. There’s a lot of room for improvement in the audio handing in Final Cut Pro X so the new multichannel audio tools are a welcome step in the right direction. (Click to enlarge) Multichannel Audio Tools One Viewer from the Event, one Viewer for the Project. ![]() I can see how this could be useful at times, although truthfully I never missed it. You get one view from the Timeline and one view from the Event. More accurately, the current Timeline Viewer and an optional Event Viewer (Window > Show Event Viewer). I’ll leave that to those with more knowledge. I don’t work with MXF or RED so I’ve had no ability (nor time) to test these functions. Working with MXF files should not feel different than working with QuickTime files.Īlong with RED native support, Apple quietly upped the maximum resolution from 4K (since release) to 5K. The named solutions are MXF4mac and Calibrated MXF Import, but apparently there are others. In keeping with their patten, Apple have supported a third party MXF solution rather than (presumably) paying license fees for each sale when only a small percentage of users will use the MXF input (and yes, output) capability. We have new versions of 7toX and Xto7 waiting for review in the App Store that support the new version 1.2 XML. There’s a rebuilt and more flexible Share function a simplified and improved Unified Import with optional list view, horizontal scopes mode (and scope for each viewer), Chapter Markers, faster freeze frames, support for new titling features inherited from Motion, more control over connection point, 5 K image support, vastly improved Compound Clip structure (both functional and for us the XML), customized metadata export in the XML (for asset management tools mostly), and two features that didn’t make it to the “what’s new” list: Range Export from Projects and a bonus for 7toX customers.Īll up I count more than 14 new features, whereas Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3 had four (although arguably Multicam and Video out were heavy duty features).īecause of the developer connection, I’ve been working with this release for a few months. ![]() I’m ecstatic that selective pasting of attributes is now an Final Cut Pro X feature, but I’m really annoyed that persistent In/Out points made it to this release. Including a feature I wish they hadn’t put in and one I’m extremely pleased they did. As well as the features Apple discussed at NAB  2011: The SuperMeet website has dropped all references to the previously-mentioned presenters, saying “The Final Cut Pro User Group Network is excited to have a very special guest presentation at the 10th Annual Las Vegas FCPUG SuperMeet.Final Cut Pro X 10.0.6 is probably the most feature-rich release since the original one. So, that's what I know, that's what I can say, and if there's anyone from Apple out there, I hope you don't sue me."Īpple is widely believed to plan the unveiling of its new Final Cut Pro at the Las Vegas SuperMeet.Īccording to various sources in the video industry, Apple has booked all stage time for its announcement, forcing sponsors like Avid, Canon, and Autodesk to re-schedule or drop their sponsorship altogether. So, that goes all the way up to June 20th. “I was very impressed,” he continued, “it was awesome and look out, I believe they say it will be available in Spring 2011. They are going to tell you, 'We're going to invent something different.' And that's kind of my take away from it.” ![]() “So, Apple is very good at going their own way and figuring out where things will be. "I would also end with Henry Ford: 'If I asked people what they wanted, they'd tell me they wanted a faster horse.',” Raudonis said. He also might have leaked the release date, and hopes not to get in trouble for divulging it. Mark Raudonis, head of post production at Bunim/Murray Productions, was reportedly present at a FilmMarker Magazine pre-NAB panel discussion where he described Apple’s next Final Cut Pro as ‘awesome.’ Earlier this year, Apple offered the who’s-who in post production a sneak peek of Final Cut Pro and, according to pretty much everyone who’s had a go at it, the new suite is the best thing since toilet paper. ![]()
