All NLEs do the same thing, some do specific functions differently. It’s personal preference.
You can get a free version of DaVince Resolve and try it out. I’d recommend that.
Nothing is universally better, nothing is lacking in features, just try them out first hand, go with what you like best personally. Period.

FCP has always been finicky with AVCHD formats. Personally I’d just transcode to H.264 and be done with it. I’d not ever expect much love from FCP for AVC formats ever, IMHO.

If you start with SDR, you only have that information in the file. Converting it to HDR does NOT add image information that doesn’t already exist. You get the same image quality with a larger file size. You must start by shooting HDR first. And there should not be any need to convert it nor to use optimized files.

How does using ONLY MotionVFX templates and plugins, and blocking out all the others who make a living making templates and plugins, do FCP or Apple any good? It limits your options, not expands them.

They are only going off of the same post we all see on the MotionVFX site, and ASSUMING it was a buy-out. But no where has anyone CONFIRMED it was an acquisition. Those news sites are just assuming.

I hate to say this, but you may have better luck posting on the Apple FCP user forum. There’s a couple of higher end technical guys there who could probably help.

Learn to use video scopes, they’ll help you dial in to the most universal and true settings.

“a hold keyframe keeps its value exactly the same until the next keyframe”
Yeah, you make the first keyframe, set your parameter values as needed, then put the playhead where you need it, without changing any parameters you simply make another keyframe, simple. No need for anything special. As long as you’re not changing parameters between them, it’s a “hold” keyframe. All keyframes are “hold” unless the next keyframe changes a parameter. Simple.

Apple has stopped listing older versions of FCP for older macOS versions. It’s a shame, but they have.
