One of a thousand posts with some 10.2 info….

Thanks for the post and excellent article. Was hoping that Cinema DNG raw would be supported in its native format. Very nice update otherwise. Anything new with Motion?

The magnetic timeline, it’s magnetic-o-matic!

3D type, with a new environment and materials system.

This feature apparently applies only to text, not to shapes, so here’s an old-school Smoke/Flame tip, newly applicable to Apple users: take your vector shapes, logos, etc. and create fonts from them.

Boom. Arbitrary 2D vector form extrusion.

Nice 🙂 Also, there have been some nice key framing improvements in Motion (and FCP) Copy/Paste keyframes in the Motion timeline is a pretty nice one…

Not downloading just yet. How does the copy paste work?

In what sense? Effects?

FWIW, this release is very stable. I updated while waiting for a client to call back. All good. 🙂

Hmmm…tempting, but I am in the middle of two large commercial projects. A younger me would jump, but now I’ll wait a bit…

Still. How is it that the major top line feature of a full dot release is a livetype style crazy 3D type renderer?

If they ever did any market research, does anyone think that a mad 3D type engine was top of anyone’s list? How many times have fans on here mentioned native cinema DNG? or improved audio handling? or roles based audio effects mapping? Or a more customisable interface? Or a timecode indicator that isn’t the size of postage stamp rendered in a stupid digital font?

How in the hell did they come up with an overblown 3D type engine as their headline feature? how many use cases does that answer?
