New FCPX confirmed for December

[Nick Toth]

It’s about time I’m able to do my home movies in 4K…

Given the lack of upgrade price, consider the implications for FCPX sales between now and December. Of course not everyone will know this…. I can’t help they’ll be a surprise in FCPX pricing one way or another.

[Mark Dobson] “Final Cut Pro X has been so perfectly tuned to take advantage of the new Mac Pro, you can work in 4K — in real time — without rendering. (Take a minute to let that slowly sink in.)”

I work on half hour cooking shows broadcast on PBS. I’m as interested in working in 4K as I was in 3D. Take a moment for that to sink in.

It’s on the Final Cut Pro page too. At the bottom where they seem to put all the important announcements about FCP X in the past. It’s horrible english, but it’s there…

“The new Mac Pro is coming in December. And so is a new version of Final Cut Pro X.
With support for dual GPUs and 4K broadcast monitoring, Final Cut Pro will be optimized to take advantage of the incredible power built into the new Mac Pro.”

So it’s not called Final Cut Pro 11.

Really? If I ever had any respect for the content you post here, it is completely gone now… Sad.

I’ve got plenty of friends here in NYC that _do_ work on cooking shows that are completely interested in any technology that is powerful enough to work and render realtime in 4k.

The breakthroughs happening for processing power at price point should be of interest to any post professional despite personal reservations about the software or platform.

Just bought that, it’s so helpful and much cheaper than the alternative.

That is pretty nice. And that guy knows how to party.

Sorry to let you down, but for normal broadcast the overhead of 4K in terms of storage, cost, and system speed is not viable for any production I know of.

It’s great for spots, it’s great for short form high-end corporate, it’s fine for features, but why on earth would any broadcast show go there? Who is accepting 4K delivery? Who is broadcasting 4K delivery? What percentage of the TV audience will be able to view 4K for the next 5 years (my guess is you’ll be in single digits.)

It’s nice to be able to pan and zoom on a 4K image, but how about shooting it properly in the first place? And once you pan and zoom then you’re eliminating the possibility of ever broadcasting it 4K.

So go ahead, explain to me why I should give a damm if my editing system can handle 4K multicam any more than I care if it can handle 3D.

The price is perfect. Being able to create look in Resolve and save it as a LUT is the best part.
