ZOMG- I did not know about this…

Yes- you are recompressing an already highly compressed format. That said you might not notice any visual difference in quality except on a high-end monitor. That said- MP4 is such an already compressed format I would suggest keeping the entire take. Or shooting less long takes in your workflow. You can get very cheap hard drives to back that up.

This kinda illustrates why a Hackintosh is a dicey prospect in terms of getting performance gains vs. OS compatibility issues- especially when you don’t get the former. In this case a lot likely has to do with the built-in hardware H.264 encoder/decoder the iMac has which most likely there’s no equivalent on the Hackintosh. That would explain why tasks that would leverage it are slower.

I agree with Bob! DVD output is a bit of a dodo bird in 2018. FCPX itself still makes (rudimentary) DVDs via the Share export window. Of course, you do need access to a burner. More details here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204820 https://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.2/#/verf3fd3f4b

If it happens randomly/infrequently- not much to be done. If you see it consistently on the same clip that’s something that could potentially be analyzed and fixed by Apple.

Actually, FCPX engineering and marketing teams have been at every recent NAB and IBC show, just not in a big flashy official booth like the other NLEs. For example, last year they were answering questions and demonstrating FCPX at NAB during Supermeet and presenting updates about FCPX both at FMC’s Post-Production World and at our own FCP Exchange event:
They invited people directly into the Apple campus for official demos and hands-on of new hardware at FMC’s Creative Summit events for the past 3 years as well- https://www.fcpxcreativesummit.com.
They’ve also presented FCPX publicly in more intimate venues, such as their recent presentations of Final Cut Pro X at LACPUG, for version 10.3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqCpUWyEr3E
and 10.4: https://www.fcpworks.com/apple-lacpug-review/
To Peter’s point, yes it would rock to see a return to the massive Apple tradeshow booths of the ’90s and early 2000’s but that simply isn’t their marketing strategy these days. And even if it were, does anyone truly believe it would move the needle any more than the software itself could? Either you buy into the paradigm of the magnetic timeline and benefit from it, as many have. Or you don’t.

Not seeing your point. It’s just a press release.

[Oliver Peters] “Unfortunately a bit of wishful marketing hyperbole.”
Fair comment but I don’t think that’s endemic to Apple now is it?

But there’s the rub- if I am going to bother to switch over to Windows from Mac OS l, I want a super powerful CPU and GPU I can personally upgrade whenever it suits me.
