You are probably still getting enough performance to hang in there a while longer. It’s hard for anyone to say you will or won’t get significantly faster results without exactly duplicating your file format and workflow. A new machine – iMac Pro or Mac Pro – will likely be faster/better, but does the cost offset the performance gains? Unknown.
You may get better transcode speeds, if – 1 )you use background transcode, and/or 2) export to ProRes first. If you use background transcode, that optimized media will be used in your export, so the export is faster. If you export to ProRes and then transcode that flat ProRes master file for Vimeo, the total time may be faster than a direct export to Vimeo specs.

There’s a key item in her LumaFusion demo and that’s the upcoming FrameIO integration. The later is a very key item for today that would be great to have in FCPX.
Upload clips to Frame at whatever codec/resolution. Frame does its own transcodes, as is normal. Then from the edit bowser, you are browsing the Frame project – NOT, what is stored on your local machine or drive. Once you edit the clip to the timeline, that clip only is downloaded to your device, optimized to whatever your device can handle.
In theory with some sort of similar FCPX integration, you could select from one of the Frame proxies (or original). This makes a pretty interesting hybrid “cloud editing” concept.

Along the iOS lines, this is a good look at LumaFusion with Scott at PVC and Terri Morgan of LumaTouch. The demo starts about 10 min in.

A problem when copying large files.

[Tim Wilson] “The ONLY way FCPX grows is with a strong iPad Pro-enabled release. That’s it. There’s nothing else.
You may not want it on iPad. You may hate Apple for its i-focus when they’re ignoring what you need from them to do your job with your all-Apple office. Doesn’t matter. It’s FCPX on iPad Pro or bust.”I think we both agree on that. I would even venture to say that quite possibly this might even be free to people who already own FCPX. After all, it would only run on the newest iPad Pro, which you would have to buy anyway. But what would really seal the deal is a viable method of sharing – possibly only synced Libraries and proxy media via iCloud. Money comes in via an in-app purchase of more cloud space.
Clearly Apple sees the pro side of the iPad, which is why Adobe, Affinity, Pixelmator and others are being coaxed into bringing more heavy-weight apps to the iPadOS environment. So if you are Apple, do you want pro editing tools on iPadOS defined by Rush and LumaTouch?

[Tim Wilson] “They could, but I don’t think they would. They’ve had nearly a decade to kick that idea around, and it hasn’t bubbled up yet, I think because the downside would be higher than the upside. Every headline would be negative, to say the least. “Doubled the price for early adopters” or some such.”
I think one thing that skews this argument is Apple itself. You are using metrics that make sense for a normal company. I really doubt Apple cares much whether or not their applications make a profit.
I’m sure they do, but for Apple, selling applications is a marketing expense, based on their unified accounting system across all sections of the company. I could be wrong (and I have no inside information), but from everything that’s been written about Apple, I highly doubt that ProApps runs its own P&L accounting.
Whatever decisions are made are solely based on what makes sense for Apple as a whole. That’s why FCPX on an iPad Pro makes a lot of sense. It improves the posture of iPad Pro as a “computer.”
That’s why ProApps is not like Filemaker, which to my knowledge is Apple’s only branded applications subsidiary.

But remember that Apple is also operating under a “work from home” situation. And that company for sure does not function well in that sort of environment. You simply can’t leave the building with certain things. So maybe it’s as simple as nothing is happening right now, because there is simply no urgency for it.

[Mathieu Ghekiere] “It’s a bit of a weird logic that because you are happy in general with a software package, you don’t want some feature updates. You can be happy with a software package and still think it’s not perfect or complete”
Maybe you should have that conversation with our friend Bill ☺
For the record, there are tons of things I’d like to see added to or changed about FCPX. But I also use other NLEs and see the things missing in the FCPX workflow. Better (more useful) relinking, collaboration, roles-based mixing, a behaviors group, etc. – I’m not optimistic.
Since there is no NAB this year and therefore no ancillary events, there is also no pressure on ProApps to release an update with that timing in mind. I’m sure something will come, but it will take as long as it takes. For all we know, Catalina is just as much of a mess for ProApps as it has been for other companies.

I don’t really understand the sentiments expressed here. On one hand, the regulars constantly express their satisfaction with FCPX over any other NLE, but on the other hand lament that there’s no update. What do you want?
FCPX is not an NLE that targeted the professional editor as its primary customer. Sure, Apple wants that customer and has built features into FCPX to attract and satisfy that customer; but it has never seemed to be the main focus of the app. It’s more of an app for the independent creative who shoots and edits and most likely is doing it with some type of DSLR. So I don’t think you can have it both ways?
As far as the Mac Pro, do you really think these are selling right now? I doubt it, given the push to work from home.
If there were FCPX for the iPad Pro, who here would shift to that version exclusively?
