    MotionVFX, XEffects, and others have movement plugins such as this that may do what you’re looking for. You’re just going to have to shop around. Or keyframe one manually, copy it, then Paste Attributes to place the same keyframes on all the other clips at one time.

    That’s a bug from almost two years ago, it’s been fixed with macOS updates since.

    Check System Settings, you may have a “hot spot” set that is triggering the screen saver.

    This is not typical behavior, and I’ve never heard of it before. When you add a file to a Batch, nothing should happen except that file was added to the batch, nothing should be automatically applied. Did you create any custom presets or custom destinations. I’d sure love to see a screen recording of this in action.

    So, there’s some typical troubleshooting we can try. First is to go to the Preferences for Compressor, in the General tab, verify default settings for jobs and destinations.

    Next, go to the Advanced tab, click the Reset Queue button, select Cancel Jobs, click the Reset button Go back into Reset Queue again, this time select Repair Compressor, click the Reset button. Quit and relaunch Compressor. See if this helps.

    Yeah, this is one of the very “professional” features that FCP7 had, but FCPX has never bothered to even care about. You may try this, but I don’t know that it will help you. Yep, I’d have stayed in Resolve, not touched FCPX for this format. Been there, done that…

  • I’ve used this myself in both, and as a sound engineer, I turned my back to the video during the comparisons and couldn’t tell either was different, except for two of the comparisons, but they were both so close it wasn’t worth mentioning. In my experience, both are really, really good, one neither better or worse than the other.

  • Many of those services do language translations. But if you need to do it yourself for some reason, FCP is going to be clunky and there you have it.

    The issue is lack of timecode. If there’s no timecode assigned in the transcript, then no, you can’t do this.

    Now, if you got your transcript from a service, they should be able to supply you with an SRT file.

  • Well, since FCP keeps everything as its own timeline, there’s no need. Just select each clip after import, then from the Clip menu, “Open Clip”. It’s now open in its own timeline, ready to be processed. Then just export the clip. No need for comps, it already exists. If you do this often enough, assign a custom keyboard shortcut to Open Clip, like I did with Alt-Cmd-O.
