I agree totally with Steve on the raw workflow scenario. I would prefer to do titling in Final Cut with stuff published from Motion which really does not complicate anything. My thought is to export audio from Resolve (when needed), export a movie to Final Cut for title work but probably will use Fusion somewhere for touching up shots. One thing I hope for in a later update is the ability to have custom transitions available in Resolve as is possible with Motion, time will tell. Of course there is Sapphire but a bit on the expensive side.

Walter wrote a couple of very nice articles about editing in Resolve that are worth reading.

Two things that caught my attention is the Ripple panel frim Tangent and the Automatic Duck plugin to ship clips from Final Cut over to Motion which will be available later this year.
Resolve is starting to look more impressive but without a beefy system I am a bit uncertain as using it as an editor right now. One thing that really tickled me pink is the Fusion Connect command which will be a huge time saver. The deliever page has improved and more FX available. I do wish software makers woud focus with what’s under the hood rather than go for a new, shiny interior or a jaw dropping body on a car (no super models). Talking about the latest and greatest feature though fad is a better description.
Disappointed that there has been no update to Final Cut Pro X as of yet. Then again this should not come as a surprise. I am really hoping for a role based mixer, the ability to apply a video transition without adding an audio dissolve at tne same time, precision editor in a secondary storyline and being able to save a custom layout. One other request would be to set your preference for spatial conform. To me, it’s the little things that matter most. The latest fad (feature) is of a little use when playback performance or other meaningful improvements are put aside.
The only piece of hardware is the Ripple panel from Tangent thst really caught my eye. I cannot believe how “expensive” it is. I was worried about the build quality but after reading what others had to say it is next on my list of things to purchase, right with the update to Color Finale which is scheduled to be available very soon.
Other than that I added some products from Moion VFX, Core Melt and Ripple Training to my system. I even purchased Shot Notes X to make for a more efficient workflow.
One last item is Boris FX offerings. I am planning on going with a subscription plan with the new version. Still not out for Final Cut as of yet but there will be an automatic update once available. That is all for now!

It has improved but Final Cut is still my preferred tool of choice. Resolve works best with ProRes material, just from my experience. Without out it expexct choppy playback (at best) and long render time. I would not edit anything above 2K on my current Mac Pro as it is the old cheese grater variety. No major issues with HD though ProRes gives best playback performance. A high end Mac Pro may yield better results. Now if Resolve had that magnetic timeline like Final Cut Pro jas, that would be great. I am serious!

Tim, thanks for posting that ad! I wonder if this how the NLE of today came into existence:

Upgrade for Color Finale will not be free. It will be $49 USD, still a nice set of tools coming. I was hoping for additional secondary tools but still excited to see the update will be next month.

Have yet to see what is new with Color Finale, hoping to see something on his website soon.
Resolve looks somewhat interesting but still not a viable editor as of yet. For me, this NAB was a little disappointing, not sure why. Was hoping for some update to Final Cut but that did not happen.

[Andy Field] “That non subscription model doesn’t seem like a recipe for frequent “listen to the user” updates. 🙂
“Best argument for subscription plan. I am going to send Apple a feature request right now! 😉

I loathe tracks! They seem so last century. For me the debate of FCP X is over. We need a new name like FCP X: That’s what I’m talking about!
