Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter possible? Thanks for the input everyone.

[Oliver Peters] “There is NO SUCH RUMOR other than what people have conjured up in their own minds based on the EOL of Aperture.”
This is what I was referring to.
I agree with you on the second point in its entirety. Overall very pleased with the direction Apple has taken. Still room for improvement in FCP X but it has improved significantly since its release.
I really enjoy reading your articles. Have learned a great deal from them, thank you.

The most significant update in FCP X history came very late last year followed by a minor update four weeks later. At this point it appears that Apple is focusing on the new OS, thinking it will be a fall release. So my guess is minor updates for now, and perhaps something new later this year or early next year. Then again, we saw an update on a Friday which is a little unusual as Tuesday and Thursday have been the traditional choice for updates.
I just hope that the rumor FCP X will be getting the axe next will simply disappear.

For the most part, I do like the UI as it is now but would prefer a more custom way of doing things. Perhaps an option to move the windows around, perhaps to a second monitor. A few more shortcut buttons would be nice as well and some additional keyboard shortcuts.
Looking forward to see what Photos will offer when it is released.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Any new keyboard shortcuts, like move a clip’s stacking order? :)”
That would be another small, but nice improvement. I really like they have done with this update. One small complaint, where is “Send to Motion?” Guess it went the way of the dinosaur.

When did Aperture receive its last update? Just curious.

Motion and FCP X just got an update! Great way to round out the last week in June.

After some further basic tests:
1. Can not export generators from Resolve to FCP X, same goes for titles and likewise FCP X generators do not go over to Resolve. No surprises here.
2. Unable to select multiple keyframes for editing or deleting. Motion and After Effects allow for this. Keyframing in Resolve is better but would like to see a separate keyframe graph and the ability to select multiple keyframes.
3. It did crash on me today, but given this is beta at the moment this can be expected.
What is improved and useful stuff:
Camera RAW settings
Dual monitor support
Trimming
Audio waveforms
Edit index
Additional render optionsDepending on the project, some finishing work will be done in Final Cut Pro X with title work and motion graphics with Motion, at least for now. Resolve and FCP X are a better match for each other.

Nice to see of having the option to open the keyframe graph directly inside the timeline. There is, however, room for improvement. Unless for some odd reason I am in The Twilight Zone and missing something, there is no way to select multiple keyframes at once. Motion lets you do it, as does After Effects, so this is a bit odd. Then again, the software is in beta. Perhaps when the real deal is here, this will be addressed. For now I think FCP X is an excellent editor.

[Scott Witthaus] ” Tracks suddenly feel confining.”
I agree! Today the only things that need a track is a train or roller coaster. My two cents.
