Larry Jordan dishes some FCPX gossip at IBC
After his FCPX presentation at IBC, Larry Jordan spoke to what he’d heard about the upcoming release.
Apple is working working on a new version of Final Cut. That should certainly come as a shock to all of us. They haven’t told me anything about it… and they haven’t forced me to sign any non disclosures. So what you’re about to hear is pure speculation founded solely on rumour and innuendo; which is where all of us live anyway…
So I thought I’d share something with you. Just that it will not be a minor upgrade. It’s gonna be some heavy, heavy features associated with it.
It will not be this month (September). And what I would do is I would watch for the release date of the MacPro. And when the MacPro ships, which I have serious lust after… When the MacPro ships I think within the same day (24hrs), we’ll have a new version of Final Cut.
My guess is that it will be in October… but you never know. It will be this year, but it won’t be this month.
But it’s gonna be cool.

So now we know what we don’t know even though we don’t know it.
…but will the heavy features increase the weight of the new MacPro?

Larry also hinted at a large production being edited on FCPX. 100-million dollar large production.
I also found it interesting he spent an hour or so talking about FCP7 and X and very interesting tools surrounding X. These indeed where some cool tools. He however never touched FCPX’s major short-coming for many and that is actually editing in the application… 🙂

I talked to quite a few devs at IBC who found what Apple was doing with the MacPro interesting. Having dual GPU as baseline and for many operations the go-to route for speed could bring some great benefits along the way.
AJA seemed like they knew more than they could say about FCPX / MacPro Tube-combo, showing a sneak peak of there TB2 4K I/O. The next few months could get “very interesting”. Telestream hinted similar things, given their desktop products haven’t seen that much love lately. Sonnet was officially supporting TB2 as soon as the MacPro is release claiming it gives around 80% better performance in reality compared to TB1 (1200-1300 Mb/s storeage).

[Erik Lindahl] “Telestream hinted similar things, given their desktop products haven’t seen that much love lately.”
On the Telestream front so far there’s this from AJA
https://www.aja.com/en/articles/41/
and this from Telestream on Wirecast 5
https://www.telestream.net/company/press/2013-09-12.htmAnd an interesting bit about the AJA announcement is mentioning that there’s an SDK for Wirecast now.
Although none of this is directly related to the MacPro or FCPX.

I’m sure it will be “awesome.”

[Erik Lindahl] “He however never touched FCPX’s major short-coming for many and that is actually editing in the application… :)”
Explain please.
Having edited more than 50 projects thus far, I’m interested in your opinion as to where X’s “major shortcomings” are regarding “actually editing in the application.”
What type of editing do “many editors” do that X fails to address?
I’m not at all saying that X (or ANY other NLE for that matter) does not have specific shortcomings. Just interested in which specifically you are facing that causes you to espouse this as if it should be common knowledge at this stage.
Thanks.

This is a really confusing couple of sentences.

I’m personally betting on the iScowl Direct Facial AI Interface tied into iSight.
If you have an X project open – and furrow your brow within a specified elapsed time after an editing action – it automatically invokes UNDO and consults a database with historical “brow furrow depth data” to select from a table of alternate possibilities to try another editing option until it detects an iSmile.

Could it be…. irony?
After all, pre-announcing it at the WWDC was a kinda 90 degree turn for Apple.
