You can’t change the default length but you can select them in the Timeline Index, make the timeline window active, then Ctl-D to set the new length of all of them at the same time..

It’s not a Mac app but I use Sony’s DVD Architect. It’s probably the next most powerful authoring app after Apple’s DVD Studio Pro as it’s one of the few to support DVD scripting. I run it in a Windows virtual machine – although I don’t trust it to burn from the VM so I create an ISO and burn that with Disk Utility.

It’s just the wording. FCPX will consolidate to the current Library which can be either managed or unmanaged.

IOS is optimised for h264 and more recently h265. ProRes isn’t supported natively but you can get various apps, such as Infuse, that can play it – or at least the lower-end versions such as Proxy, LT and maybe 422 depending on your processor and the resolution.

Can’t help with a specific recommendation but the effect is reminiscent of Motion’s WideTime filter and I know it’s a an effect I’ve seen a lot in various live VJ apps.

Reelsmart is definitely my favourite motion blur plugin so I’d second that.

There may be some crossover with third party effects depending on what you’re using but the answer is going to be no for the most part. They are completely different animals.

It’s almost certainly a lack of motion blur in the final image.

If you don’t what to purchase a plugin, you can make your own motion blur effect in Motion and publish it back to FCPX.

I agree with Jeremy, Workx4X is generally used for final archiving or I’ll use it to trim down media before I start an edit but in your shoes I’d take the 40 mins you want to work on as proxy files. Workx4X and/or trimming through resolve will create brand new copies of the footage so there’s no linking back to the original footage later.

But if you don’t need to do relink, then Workx4X or Resolve are the way to trim media down to just the used clips + handles. Then re-import the resulting XML and carry on.

Not sure I follow changing the Timecode?

Workx4X is an archiving tool so it consolidates everything into one spot, copies the media trimming it to only include what’s used in the timeline, and writes an XML that you can import back into whatever FCPX library you want. The clips created are completely independent copies of the originals so yes, you can import back to your original library if you want – just like when you round trip to Resolve except I think Worx4X is a little better working with the XML files than Resolve is – certainly it handles FCPXM1.8 where Resolve doesn’t yet.
