10.2 Released!!

So, Closed Captioning can be added in Compressor when you publish. But where do the .scc files come from? (crosses fingers, looks for a plug-in in FCPX that generates this).

This bit about needing a vendor/content delivery network to publish to iTunes… surely, you don’t need that just to make a master file, right?

The one and only benefit IMO of the color board was that it was available by default on every clip. Now that it’s gone, why would anyone ever use it?

That’s nothing new, Compressor has been supporting that since before FCPX came out. A plugin that does accurate speech recognition for CC output would be a holy grail type solution, but in the meantime there are many services you can upload an MP4 to and get back an .scc file.

Did you read the whitepaper?

It works the exact same way, though.

Hit command-6, the color board shows up, and now, you can stack it in the order that you need, which is helpful if you use any types of LUT/transforms, also help with composite and masking or any other effects.

While I was initially disappointed, now that I have downloaded it and tested it, it’s totally fine, and better, plus we can now see shape masks and color masks with the “View masks” toggle.

To me, this is actually better.

Some day, I will learn to type in actual English.

On an OSX 10.10.3 with the new FCPX 10.2 I just noticed that Quicktime 7 now seems to have Quicktime 7 Pro features. This machine has been untouched by FCP Studio legacy.

[Craig Seeman]

I can’t think of anything else that would have enabled it on a machine untouched by Legacy.

I would have preferred to have it already in the effects queue but disabled. Hitting Command-6 is no big deal though. I’ll just have to learn to do it.

I do wish they had added a curves tab in the Color Board, then it would be more comparable with Lumetri.

[Craig Seeman]

I think user demand for control over filter stacking order led Apple to move Color Correction to an Effects Filter.

I have little doubt that Apple has been hammered with requests for curves. I wouldn’t be surprised that development priority moved that to a later release. Probably getting the multi scope view and moving CC to an effect were mission critical to making future changes in CC more useful. For the same reason I think improvements in keyframe took the lead over actual tracking. Which may now be more viable to implement.
