You should take a clip and test both of these methods:
1. the file conversion using motion-compensated retiming in Compressor
2. Using Rate Conform in Final Cut with Optical Flow turned on.See which method will provide the best quality. Using Rate Conform may be best in case you need to switch from Optical Flow to Frame Blending for any given clip.

My friend went to AdobeMAX, and as part of his admission cost he got a free year’s worth of Adobe CC.

How many passes do Turbo264 and Telestream use during encoding? Compressor is as slow as it is because, when it does multi-pass H.264 encoding using Apple’s H.264 Encoder, it’s doing eight passes.
By comparison, the MainCOncept encoder used in the Adobe products does no more than two passes.

The only thing I’ll say critically is that the cover looks a tad too shiny. Will someone make thermal-safe covers for it? 🙂
Otherwise, it sounds awesome. Different, but awesome; however, there’$ one more i$$ue that need$ to be di$clo$ed fir$t. Can’t think of it at the moment.

Our office loved this. Thanks.

While the Blur transitions certainly could have been set up better, I think it’s at least a good thing that they’re all now editable in Motion. That was what sold me on FCPX.

You can blur the text now using the text parameters itself. Those could be animated to create a position, but it is possible that someone with great Motion authoring skills (since every FCPX transition is a Motion project) could look at the current blur transition and make one that both works to only blur the top layer and still respects the alpha channel of each layer. I tried playing with it and haven’t cracked it yet.

Many of these are things that can be addressed via feature requests – Apple has been pretty good so far about making substantial improvements to the software.
The Event Manager X issue, I’m not sure – they may leave that as-is as an opportunity for the third-party developers.

Why doesn’t Apple do what I’ve heard a lot of high-end consumer users ask them to do – introduce a mid-level tower in addition to a Mac Pro?
I’ve heard the talk about cannibalizing iMac sales…but would that really be the case?
