That’s why we backup to both LTO and ODS, but will look elsewhere for an ODS alternative.

10.4.7 Broke captions? That’s news to me.

I did not compress the video first but uploaded the ProRes LT file directly to YouTube. Took about an hour for a 28:30. The PQ footage looked good on my iPhone x but the SDR was pretty low on my computer monitor. However I did not have a proper monitor to grade PQ, so that maybe more on me than anything else.

I’ve been testing here recently. So far I’ve had better success with uploading a HLG ProRes file that was mastered in FCPX with HLG color profile embedded in it. I’ve been testing on my iPhone X and looks pretty, the SDR version on my Apple Monitor looks good too. I tried uploading a PQ version but the SDR conversion turned out to be very low levels and dull.

Maybe the tide has turned, however FCPX is a well capable editor and is hear to stay. It truly works wonderfully for our production and don’t every seeing us pay per month for an edit suite.

I re-exported the file with the updated Motion and still getting the same issue. I can manually go into the Composition and change it to add alpha and works but this was something the FCPX recognized before automatically. My only thought with this clip is that the alpha channel only comes into play at the end of this clip while my other clip that does work uses the alpha channel from beginning to end.

Motion for both files.

[Rick Lang] “As for H.265 encoding, with the release of iOS 8 and the iPhone 6 (with 150Mbps LTE), I suspect Apple will implement H.265 in FCP X and Yosemite this year if the codec is final. I haven’t followed the codec lately, but if they have it in the A8 chip, it must be ready to include in their software.”
To my understanding the codec is final, just working through the patents.

[TImothy Auld] “However, if you have a multicam show that you have to cut down from an hour or more to twenty or so minutes using mostly audio edits that are underneath a shot that is not sync with that audio, then I would ague that FCPX is far from the best choice.”
Our programs are usually 2-3 hours in length but mainly just 2 tracks associated with our Line Cut.

[Herb Sevush] “Is that based on a feature for feature comparison? If so i would love to hear the details. I’m not doubting you, I’m just interested in the reasons why you made that statement.”
We use Softron’s Multi-cam logger for each live shoot to make edit and clip marks on our timeline footage for post production. After importing the clips into Multicam Logger, we export an XML which creates the MC clip when imported into FCPX with all of our notes laid out from the live shoot. During the re-cut all of the marks stay on the MC footage no matter what angle we cut to. Now it’s been a year or so since I’ve worked in Premiere but the Multicam User interface in FCPX seems more easily accessible takes just a short-cut to turn on or off, the way the MC clip acts like a regular clip in the Timeline, the ability to go back into the angle editor and either add a filter or change a parameter and have it apply to previously made cuts is what sold us. Along with the fact that we don’t have to pay for it each month for 5 different editors, 3 of which are part time.
