If you are looking to go into Resolve, then I believe you can publish out a DPX sequence and round trip it. The software is still in Beta and a pre-release is set for June. So nothing is concrete right now.

I was one of the demo artist at NAB for Smoke2013. The eh angles in editorial makes it easier and more comfortable to simply edit and finish in Smoke at the same time.
But can still still conform XML or aaf and work with your prores and DNxHD or AMA media….but try editing in Smoke when the free pre-release trial comes out in June.

[TImothy Auld] “But now with this Smoke rumor which, from what I read, involves FCP X, I don’t know what to think.”
I would say it involves FCP7 more than FCPX.

Of course. That’s the point. Only ting from our art dept (C4D) would have been the flipping 13 logo.

[Steve Connor] “Care to share some thoughts on Smoke as an editor? What are it’s strengths, what is it’s media management and edit toolset like?”
See this is the problem that I hope this announcement will fix. No one really knows what Smoke is. It has always been a finishing system, but always had a good basis in editorial. It’s just that it’s cost and placement in the post production world narrowed it’s role to being a great finishing suite. But I have been editing on Smoke for 6 years in a broadcast station environment cutting promos, commercials, graphics, and long form.
The editing tools set works just like any other, track based, trim, ripple, slide, slips. But Smoke has a set of deep and powerful tools for color grading, stabilization and 3D compositing. And many of these are available via the timeline as soft effects. And it’s speed in processing and processing at high quality 16bit 4:4:4 at every turn.
As far as media management goes. It just works. Smoke is designed as a finishing system, so it accepts EDL, AAF, XML, and anything from h.264 to .r3d. You can edit natively, or you can transcode, or a mixture of both. You can change a transcoded clip to a native clip and back again easily. The transcoded clip retains the original metadata of the clips path, and you can see it via the clip properties in the timeline.
Everything I have said here is nothing new, it’s all in the current version of Smoke. So I can’t wait to see what is coming.. or changing…. for the better. Cost is the main issue right now for Smoke for Mac. So hopefully this will be addressed as well.
Here is a new reel I put together. It’s a bit graphics heavy…

Trust me… This will be a big announcement. That’s all I can say. I have been editing, ,actual editing on Smoke for years. So it’s very much an editor as well as a finishing system.

They are known as light leaks.
https://www.fcpeffects.com/collections/entire-catalogue/products/organic-light-leaksor Artbeats has some as well.
Light Leaks are the new Lens Flares.

FCPX can’t make custom, nonstandard resolutions. If I am correct.
