FCPX 10.1.2 Released!

[Craig Seeman]

Looks like some small feature improvements although they can be important.
Looks like this was another round of under the hood work.

As Philip says, be wary if you need XML, any 3rd party apps, like X2Pro, will need to be updated.

Looks like some intuitive use fixes. Drag and drop import of clips and fixing the unintended animation between keyframes with the same position values are pretty significant along those lines.

Not really new features, but I like the ability to keep optimized and proxy clips wherever I want. This is definitely needed for shared storage use. Making X more intuitive is a good focus. To that end, I really want programmable window configurations and some more intuitive UI adjustments.

This was a big request for me, and I’m glad Apple came through. I can’t update until XML apps get approved though the AppStore, but I am looking forward to it.

Any new keyboard shortcuts, like move a clip’s stacking order? 🙂

That would be another small, but nice improvement. I really like they have done with this update. One small complaint, where is “Send to Motion?” Guess it went the way of the dinosaur.

I have a feeling we’ll see another feature-rich update when Yosemite launches. Including, I hope, some UI redesign to match the flatter look of OS X.

Does everyone know what Apple ProRes 4444 XQ offers? Data rates for HD video (no alpha) are 495 Mb/s compared to 330 Mb/s for ProRes 4444 and 220 Mb/s for ProRes 422 HQ. From the June 2014 ProRes White Paper:

Apple ProRes 4444 XQ: The highest-quality version of Apple ProRes for 4:4:4:4 image sources (including alpha channels), with a very high data rate to preserve the detail
in high-dynamic-range imagery generated by today’s highest-quality digital image sensors. Apple ProRes 4444 XQ preserves dynamic ranges several times greater than the dynamic range of Rec. 709 imagery—even against the rigors of extreme visual effects processing, in which tone-scale blacks or highlights are stretched significantly. Like standard Apple ProRes 4444, this codec supports up to 12 bits per image channel and up to 16 bits for the alpha channel. Apple ProRes 4444 XQ features a target data rate of approximately 500 Mbps for 4:4:4 sources at 1920 x 1080 and 29.97 fps.

For the most part, I do like the UI as it is now but would prefer a more custom way of doing things. Perhaps an option to move the windows around, perhaps to a second monitor. A few more shortcut buttons would be nice as well and some additional keyboard shortcuts.

Looking forward to see what Photos will offer when it is released.

This is ridiculous! Now it’s a separate install? I have to re-intall ALL my plug-ins and half aren’t updated so they don’t work even after re-install!?! The program is more sluggish than ever and updating a project to new version is makes the project slow as molasses! And don’t get me started on the Windows version!

Oh wait… that was Adobe CC 2014 not FCPX, false alarm 🙂
