  • Time for an FCP X update?

    Posted by Steve Connor on April 29, 2014 at 3:13 pm

    I’ll be interested to see if the next FCP X update arrives before the new Adobe updates. It’s about time the FCP X developers dropped another big feature or two.

    Been waiting for an update as well. Every single week, on Thursday off to the App store to check for an update. Still not there. This week perhaps?

    One thing is for sure, “Send To Motion” would be very great!

    Tuesday is generally the day for updates of the Feature variety. Maintenance updates are either Tuesday or Thursdays with a few exceptions.

    Are you expecting one? Has there been an announcement? Or is this just general hope? 🙂

    Yup. Apple has stated publicly since 10.1 was released that their goal for updates is 3-4 months. 10.1.1 dropped just over 100 days ago.

    Here’s the little chart I keep in my notes-

    10.0.0 – 2011.06.21 Tuesday
    10.0.1 – 2011.09.20 91 DAYS Tuesday
    10.0.2 – 2011.11.16 57 DAYS Wednesday
    10.0.3 – 2012.01.31 76 DAYS Tuesday
    10.0.4 – 2012.04.10 70 DAYS Tuesday
    10.0.5 – 2012.06.11 62 DAYS Monday
    10.0.6 – 2012.10.23 134 DAYS Tuesday
    10.0.7 – 2012.12.06 44 DAYS Thursday
    10.0.8 – 2013.03.28 112 DAYS Thursday
    10.0.9 – 2013.07.30 124 DAYS Tuesday
    10.1.0 – 2013.12.19 148 DAYS Thursday
    10.1.1 – 2014.01.16 28 DAYS Thursday
    10.1.2 – 2014.04.29 103 DAYS so far…

    bold is feature updates

    See my post below- the LONGEST duration between updates has been 148 days. So at most that would be just over another month from now. But that was also 10.1, which I’m pretty sure was sitting around waiting for the MacPro to be ready. So I’m betting the next update won’t be nearly that far away.

    Some have suggested the update is waiting for 10.9.3 to be released, but I’m not sure why that would be.

    I’m also betting it will be a feature update, and not just bug fixes.

    Perhaps they might surprise us with FCP 11 right after Resolve 11 is released. The new version would include tracks, color wheel and my favorite, “Send To Motion” option as well. 🙂

    Sorry, just could not resist saying that.

    LOL… so glad you said that and not me…

    It’s been 4 months.

    OK, maybe the situation is not that dramatic. But you know, let’s have an update!

    Best get it out before Resolve 11 is released, or it’ll probably get lost in all the R11 chatter…

    While the editorial improvements in Resolve 11 are impressive, I think we’re still a generation or two away from it being competitive with the big 3. At least that my impression from reports. What they’ve done is great- it just has a ways to go.
