FCP X Summit: new features/news

Precisely.
I’ve lost nothing. Folks who wanted extended color tools gained something.
We all win.
Works for MacBook Pro people – the iMac and the new iMac Pro folks. (Those were beautiful and multiple streams of 8k runningly fluidly was pretty impressive – especially if you’re delivering 1080 – that’s a LOT of leeway to re-frame for a wide, medium and CU as needed, perhaps
Also notice in the top shot below, the iPad Pro next to the MBPro? You can shoot in iOS in HEVC – Airdrop it into X on a laptop – and X will now open those files directly for refinement.
An iPad Pro as a basic camera/prompter – iPhone for quick B-Roll maybe- quick review and select on the same iPad via iMovie iOS – then AirDrop into X on a MBPro for color and cut – and push it to the world…
How does anyone keep information under wraps – when a whole useful production kit can basically fits into a large manilla envelope?
There’s no need for most of us to do that – we already have superior traditional tools – but there WILL be people in places where this will enable interesting stories to emerge that maybe weren’t as possible before this astonishing capability lived in such a small and and inconspicuous footprint.
We live in interesting technological times.

If Apple are so keen to develop a third party ecosystem do extend FCPX’s features, why are they adding features that are already available through this ecosystem?
Would love to see them push NLE development even further, I hope there’s a few more changes when 10.4 actually arrives

[Bill Davis] “An iPad Pro as a basic camera/prompter”
Awesome idea. I just found a few apps that do exactly that. Pity the camera on the screen side is HD and not 4k like the one on the other side. -

It feels more like Resolve minus the tracks. ????

Just to remind everyone – there was Apple Color way back when. I think ProApps knows how to do this. ☺

I like the new color wheels! Best and easiest I’ve ever used are in Capture One Pro 10 which is a stills app. Now finally in an NLE…
It was at a Vegas premiere that I resolved to become an avid FCPX user.

So it took FCP 10 six years to add features that were already in virtually every other NLE? Yes, 360 VR virtually didn’t exist back then in any NLE…but how many actually use this?
Still no tracks or virtual mixer — but Bill doesn’t need them, so no one else does either.
Bravo!

I know.
It’s so weird so many of us are now getting work done every day without “tracks and a mixer.” It’s probably all just an evil spell and soon, the “veil of deception” will be lifted and those years of X-crafted content in films, docs, tv, music, commercials and training will simply disappear in a shimmering haze of myst.
Not an hour ago I was watching footage of hundreds of producers, story editors and finishing editors cutting big time content collaboratively on X – and not a traditional audio track or skewomorphic virtualized version of a 1970s-style mixer in sight.
Who could have EVER seen any of THAT coming?
