Great response, Bob, as always (-:
BTW: It was really great finally meeting you in person at NAB. We may be promoting different companies right now, but you will always have my deepest respect.

Hi Greg,
Two ways you can do this:
1. Locate a sync point in both camera angle clips in the Clip Browser and add a marker at the sync point in both clips.
Then select both clips, R-click the selection and choose “New Multicam Clip”. In the Multicam Clip window, choose Custom Settings and set the Angles Synchronization to “First marker on the angle”. This will create a Multicam Clip with synchronization based on the markers you have added to both clips. Then create a new Project, drop your synched multicam clip from the browser onto the timeline and start cutting away.2. Just create a Multicam clip from both angles, never mind the settings. Then double-click the Multicam Clip to open it in the Angle Editor and manually move one of the angles in the Angle Editor until it lines up with the other angle. Then create a new Project, drop your synched multicam clip from the browser onto the timeline and start cutting away.

Ah, we have seen videos like this before, and we will continue to see videos like this. Just Google “HP computers suck” or “Dell computers suck” and you will see other people ranting over other types of computers. There are even complete “HP sucks” websites with hundreds of comments from disappointed users. Really nothing special.
When you look at the laptop malfunction rates published by Quora in 2017, Apple is right in the middle next to Dell, with Asus having the lowest malfunction rate and HP the highest. The red letters below the chart represent the quota given to tech support for each company, based on real-world tests published in March 2018:
As I said, really nothing special.

Oh yes, I must give credit to Bill Davis for that picture. I shamelessly stole it from his Facebook page because I did not have the time to take a picture myself when I saw that man coming in. BTW: it was great to finally meet you in person, Bill!

I know there are many valid reasons to use an eGPU, Tom. And yes, it will definitely make a difference on the road. I was just looking for an excuse to post this picture (-:

I agree with Mathieu. Resolve really needs things like these to achieve some decent performance on smaller systems, FCP X doesn’t. I have seen FCP X working with eGPU to enhance VR, I’m sure this functionality will be restored soon.
TBH, eGPU sometimes makes me think of people like this man. I saw him at the Supermeet, filming with a DSLR and carrying around a convoluted entrapment to get some decent steady shots, monitoring and audio . I think he would have been much better off buying or renting a real shoulder camera in the first place (-:

I think Scott hits the nail right on the head.
I really like the way Resolve is evolving. It has been part of our companies’ workflows from day 1, and it will continue to be part of my toolset as it continues to grow. I think it is a wonderful addition to Final Cut Pro X, and both apps work together pretty well. Having seen the Premiere and Resolve demos on the NAB floor, as well as the “what’s new” presentations of both companies at the SuperMeet, it is crystal clear now that Blackmagic is going directly for the Adobe video customers with Resolve.
The Supermeet presos felt like a pissing contest, with Adobe and Resolve presenters fighting each other for showing off the largest numbers of new features. During the Premiere presentation, a dozen of (very young and very eastern) BM guys in black stood at the end of the hall watching every move of the Adobe presenter and making notes. You could feel the negativity build up as the presenters started to openly criticize the competition. Each of the companies had also brought their own cheerleader team to the venue, who sat among the crowd (the room was 2/3 full) and made sure that there were some applause and some cheers with every new feature that was announced. It was so obvious that it actually felt cheap, on both sides.
The day before I was at the FCP Exchange event where some 350 people (I have counted) attended the Apple presentation. The room was full, some people had been waiting in the corridor for some time to get in, and many attendees were standing against the walls. No word about any other NLE or any competitor, just a relaxed demo of the new things in FCP X followed by a show from the Ripple guys and a great case study from the director and the editor of “Despacito”. Quite some honest applause from the crowd, no cheerleaders needed.
Apple was also extremely present on the NAB floor. I think they clearly know that they are right on track (pun intended) with FCP X and that they don’t have anything to fear from anyone. Because there really is no competition for FCP X as an NLE. Either you like it or you don’t like it, and today there seem to be many, many people who like it. For the others, there is a shitload of track-based, “feature-packed” solutions to pick from.
So I hope that Adobe and Blackmagic will stimulate each other as they fight for the same client base. I honestly think that Avid is safe for another few years (unless they go broke). But, however this turns out, it will have zero effect on what Apple will continue to do with FCP X.

A great and adequate report, Oliver. And I was very happy to finally meet you in person!

Hello Mathieu,
As mentioned in the article, Netflix and Téléfonica are closing a deal for mutual distribution of their original content on both platforms. So we will probably see La Peste on Netflix soon.
Since February, the Movistar Series platform has started in Chile, Colombia, and Perú. And before the end of this year, the new channel will also land in Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, México, Nicaragua, Panamá, and Uruguay.
