Feature Requests for 10.0.4
Now that I’ve played around with the new version of FCPX, I have some feature requests for the next version. I’ve already sent these off to Apple but I thought it would be fun for everyone to chime in. At least Apple seems to be listening, which is a good sign.
1. Source monitor. This is a very big issue for me. I’ve worked on just about every non-linear system and they all have a source and program monitor. I would like to be able to pull my source files up to look at and compare to my timeline and to mark in and out points. Seems like Apple could just add this as a pull down under where the waveform and histogram are. Back in the 90’s Media 100 had a single program monitor and it was a pain in the butt. The little filmstrip they have to mark in and outs doesn’t work for me at all.
2. Manual folder organization under the events clips area for better organization. I would like to be able to manually organize my clips if I want to.
3. The ability to turn off events and projects and the ability to be able to relate events to projects. If I turn off a project then I’d like all the events associated with that project to be turned off. I know there is a third party solution, but it would be very nice if it was integrated.
4. Better integration with broadcast monitoring. Right now it’s a little convoluted and lags a little. I guess that’s why they are calling it beta. I’d like it to be as responsive as my media composer 6 app is will Kona.
Those are the big four for me. Apple has added a lot since last year, so hopefully they keep going.

P.S I don’t think you will get a Source Monitor:-)

Not quite understanding #2. What do you mean by manually organizing your clips?
“Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.”

I’ll add my $.02. I would love to see a return of batch exporting and in-timeline chapter marks. These seem like simple features to add back in.
-
- play range to export clips
- copy paste effects thats actually useful for grading or metadata e.g. like aperture has
- proper colour wheels in colour corrector
- hue curves
- no big project bloat
- keyboard commands for colour correction or some form of modality
- colour correction/audio filering auto-applied via metadata
- transitions working across composite modes on connected clips
- midi controllers
- audio bussing or outputs based on roles
- paint/roto tools
- send to motion
- OMF export native instead of 3rd party
- some form of locking on timeline to not allow for rippling (no the position tool isnt sufficient here)
- shared projects
- metadata mapping
-
You forgot one:
– ability to keyframe color corrections
– No Parking Production –
2 x Finalcut Studio3, 2 x Prod. bundle CS5.5, 2 x MacPro, 2 x ioHD, Ethernet File Server w. X-Raid…. and FCPX on trial
-
– Indicator that tells audio offset compared to original video.

[Ben Scott] “OMF export native instead of 3rd party”
This is top of my list. Address this and I might start to take FCPX seriously – until then it’s still just an amusing toy.
