APFS will only work on SSD’s for now. Unless you installed an early beta on your spinning drive, it won’t change. https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/apfsfusion

[Andrew Kimery] “From what I read users can opt-out of using APFS on spinning drives, but if the default is APFS then I bet most will users will end up using APFS.”
Well, it seems as though, as it always has, High Sierra Disk Utility defaults to whatever the drive is currently formatted to. If it’s EX-Fat, than that’s the “default”. If HFS+ than that’s the default. You have to explicitly choose APFS on a drive that’s been previously formatted. Not sure what happens on a bare drive, but that’s a pretty unusual scenario for most users.

[Oliver Peters] “I’m sure we can deal with this going forward, but it’s a consideration we shouldn’t have to deal with.”
So, in a perfect world, what’s the solution? Keep the old filesystem? Make compromises to the new FS so it can be read by old OS versions? Update old OS’s (how far back?) to read APFS?
Seems like all you need to do is say “don’t format external drives as APFS” right?

[Oliver Peters] “It will also be a factor for new machines purchased after macOS HS is released.”
In what sense? Also, I’m pretty sure that non-apple SSD’s won’t format as APFS either. I know it’s true of some SSD’s from OWC or other vendors that have been installed internally.

FWIW, it’s my understanding that spinning drives won’t be formatted to APFS so this won’t make any difference. if you’re exchanging SSD’s then it’s a consideration…
For “dual boot” situations, I plan on buying an external HD, and cloning my Sierra system before I update. If for some reason I need to get an FCP 7 project or something, just plug in and reboot.

[Michael Gissing] “My understanding of the Resolve collaboration is exactly that. Multiple users accessing a single shared project.”
Mine too. You can have a different user on each “page”. 1 edit, 1 color, 1 mix, 1 media etc….

[Bill Davis] “It’s the Lightroom wheelhouse of curating batches of photos so you can tag the best in class. Process lots of similar shots with cut and paste global adjustments. And go in and apply things like cropping, gradients for directing the viewers eye and basic image specific adjustments while remaining in the library system – rather than working on a single image.”
You should DL the trial, you can do that stuff. Not exactly the same as Lightroom, but for 39 bucks it’s worth it. For me anyway…

[Neil Goodman] “Obviously Charlie Austin is using it and using it well to deliver high end marketing work but he’s the only one I’ve heard doing so and I hear people talk about X here. When’s the shoe going to drop ?”
Nah, I’m just a hack. ???? FWIW, Sony Worldwide Creative Content (part of theatrical marketing) uses X and has been for quite a while. Not a huge dept, and they don’t shout about it, but still. EDIT: ah, I see you mentioned them. 🙂

[Scott Witthaus] “iMovie for the iPad would have some sort of export function….or did I not RTFM? :-)”
You actually can get from iOS to X, just gotta go through MacOS iMovie as an intermediary. 🙂
