Be STILL my BEATING HEART.

Kinda makes you wonder what the developers of FCP X have been doing with all their time since February when they first showed the same version of X that’s still out today to the privileged few, doesn’t it??>

Absolutely. In a good way.

You can then export your AE project to PPro, and get an XML, too.

There are some limitations of course: https://www.foolcolor.net/foolcut

One think you can say is that FCPX seems to inspire ingenuity.
I guess the formula is – drink the Apple KoolAid, hallucinate what you want, make it a reality.
If you read the comments on the video on Vimeo apparently he plans to convert to FCP7 XML to allow send to Resolve.

How about all those people that said that FCPX’s timeline was so “revolutionary” that it couldn’t translate older projects or out to other formats and so on.

Guess they were simply full of it, eh?

[Aindreas Gallagher]

yeah but, that was shagging apple that said it, and here’s a bloke who’s knocked together a full bore automatic duck with apparently little coding experience using applescript or something?

for 70 bucks? They’ll be slashing prices over at automatic duck at this rate.

I have to say – just the sight of that timeline opening up in AE was rather cheering. The editing paradigm in FCPX I think is still irretrievably screwed, but at least that’s magic bullet shot to shot grading sorted for 70 bucks.

It’s the first good news in a while this.

Of course, to use this you still have to edit in FCPX, which is where the big problem lies. 😉

[Aindreas Gallagher]

yeah, if only the experience of operating that timeline wasn’t so shite, and the viewer wasn’t gone, and the keyframing wasn’t so screwed, and the effects weren’t such motion template tripe, and if only you could make a bin/bucket/container, and a video only overwrite didn’t still kill the audio on the clip you’re overwriting, and the audio waveforms weren’t unusable, and the broken out audio wasn’t a permanent operation that never shows off sync, and the arbitrary rules of connected clips and secondary storylines weren’t so stupid, (why can’t I make a dissolve?), if only they had retained soundtrack pro, if only the scrubber wasn’t so bloody annoying, if only the clip in and out points were persistent, if only in precision editor you could set the edit point on the playback space bar halt, if only that colour corrector had never been born, if only clips didn’t do ten frame dissolves when you deleted them, if you could only de-magnetise the timeline, if only you didn’t have to select the correct audioclip of the dozen on that days shoot in order to use audio sync feature, thereby making it half pointless really, and also if only it wasn’t so unreliable even when you had selected the correct audio clip, and if only it wasn’t so scarily buggy, Oh.. if only, if only, if only it all just wasn’t so shite.
I’m still generally annoyed, but at least you can get to AE for colour correction if you have to use it.

Now if they can make this dump into Logic so we can export OMF, I’ll be a long way towards happy.

About five years too late IMO. Though in all fairness, I must admit that I’m decidedly biased against the greedy Duck, and for good reason.

When Wes refused to allow me to sell an unopened version of one of his products I’d bought at full retail, I became a huge non-fan of The Duck.

Bad call Wes!!! And yes, if you see this you’d better believe I’m still pissed, and you’ll never get another buck from me, ever.
