Oliver Peters: Apple Final Cut Pro X is proving to be a viable platform for the professional user.

All the usual suspects, good summary Oliver and good find Garry 🙂

One software which I just discovered yesterday should be added: Backups https://npassociatesllc.com/backupsforfcp/

I’m not affiliated at all with this company but I highly recommend this back up solution for Events and Projects.

I used Pro-versioner and unfortunately it doesn’t really work. Specially when using Event Manager which I think is a must to keep things tidy and economical. Also Pro-versioner is very unstable and temperamental at times.

Backups is very elegant and really backs up what you need if you are concerned about having no copy of the current projects or event database files on a second hard drive in case the media drive dies. And they fully support ‘hidden’ folders created by Event Manager. On their website they also have a white paper about back up strategies with FCPx which can be a good read if you’re new to the problem.

my 2 cents 🙂

Happy Editing

We’ve got an update coming next week with new features, bug fixes and support for Event Manager X.

My software:
Pro Maintenance Tools – Tools to keep Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro running smoothly and fix problems when they arise
Pro Media Tools – Edit QuickTime chapters and metdata, detect gamma shifts, edit markers, watch renders and more
More tools…

Hello

Another application to add would be Vordio https://vordio.net/ for those who wish to edit FCPX audio in an external track based DAW, in this case Reaper https://www.reaper.fm/

I too, have an upcoming release of ‘Backups’, which I have just submitted to iTunes.

• Initial support for Xsan network locations.

• You may now double-click on a .fcpBackups archive to initiate a restore.

• You may now control backing up Transcoded Media with an option.

• Show the shortfall if a backup or restore was abandoned because of insufficient disk space.
