  • FCPX 12.3 buggy?

    Given the major version upgrade recently, I’m a little surprised coming back to this forum that it’s so quiet – Creative Cow seems to have lost a lot of traffic, which is a shame as it’s always been my go to for all FCPX related.

    That aside, I just wanted to comment re new version of FCPX with auto subtitling and auto-masking. I’m wondering if others have come across some weird new bugs or whether it might just be my combo of plug-ins and system.

    I’m getting quite common freezes where the timeline either stops playing, or a browser clip continues playing, and J/K/L loses connection control. I find I have to click back and forth, switching browser clip or project and back, and then it’ll sort itself out and start working again OK.

    It happens regularly enough to be quite annoying, and doesn’t seem related to any single plug-in or to using any new features – it can happen quite early on in an edit before applying anything.

    So I’m asking if anyone else is seeing this issue come up or have any suggestions to troubleshoot.

    Also, while on first glance AutoMask is rather impressive, I’ve actually found it ends up looking a bit iPhoney and I’ve had to resort to magnetic masking and analysing in order to get final-edit-usable results. Hopefully it will improve over time, as it has amazing potential.
