10.3
-
I had a weird issue last night where hitting spacebar in the browser didn’t play the clip, but instead twirled it down to reveal keywords/favorites/markers, etc… I trashed my preferences and restarted the program and the issue seems to have gone away. I’m thinking that rebuilding my keyboard settings from scratch would probably be wise.
The zoom bug is still there – if you remap Zoom In/Out to the up/down arrows the behavior is erratic and unusable. Bummed to see that hasn’t been addressed.
Is anyone using 10.3 with Blackmagic hardware? Has that improved at all?
In other news, I exported a 1.5XML from 10.3 and imported it into 10.2.3 this morning and it came through without issues. It was an incredibly simply sequence, but it’s good to know it worked.
Now – when do we get real background transcoding and rendering? 🙂

“Agreed. I would also expect it to be flaky in existing, upgraded projects (Libraries). Best to evaluate from a totally clean plate.

I am – and nope. Noticeably worse than Premiere Pro on the same machine.

“Sigh. I wish I knew who was dropping the ball here . Blackmagic writing bad drivers for FCPX? Or Apple providing bad hooks for them? At least I’d know who to harass about it.

“Get yourself an AJA TTap. Plug it in when using FCPX. Plug your Blackmagic in when using Resolve. The AJA boxes work very well with FCPX. I’d imagine they have the same hooks as Blackmagic, but what do I know?
Then, if you’re running HDMI out of any of those, get one of these: https://www.kanexpro.com/item/?id=SW-HD5X14K
This will give you remote based HDMI switching for ~$40 in 4k.

Right now, the best performing machine I have access to, running FCPX, is my newish 15″ Retina MBP – when it’s disconnected from external devices of all kinds. It works better than the iMacs, old and new Mac Pros I’ve worked with, from what I can determine. OTOH – Premiere Pro feels much more fluid on these desktop machines and fine on the MBP, too.

You can have the AJA drivers and Blackmagic drivers installed on the same system and they don’t cause any issues? That would be nice, and a testament to how far computing has come! I remember when you couldn’t install more than one NLE on a computer without the risk of an epic meltdown. Is this how you’re system is set up?
I think we have a T-Tap around here somewhere. I’ll have to test it, since I can’t give up Blackmagic since I need Resolve, but the Blackmagic/FCPX combo is heartbreakingly bad. Especially for client attended sessions when every other edit you have to restart several times until it “grabs” and plays back without issues.

Is color finale on any clips?

Does this include external RAIDs, or just video I/O devices? Interesting that a laptop outperforms them all.

Yes. Just the laptop with media on the internal drive.
