[Herb Sevush] “Since it only happens on MacBook Pro’s it’s similar to the situation a few years ago where nMPro’s were melting their GFX cards – hardware is not supposed to blow up no matter how bad the software.
“Unless the software sends out a VERY loud noise through the speakers at full volume which will be enough to break ANY laptop speaker! This doesn’t happen with anything else so it’s clearly a software issue.

[Mark Suszko] “(unless I’m unconsciously commanding it somehow). “
Go to “preferences” and in the editing tab uncheck the “mind control” box

Sadly due to the ridiculous situation we find ourself in the UK, someone UK based may not be able to work for a French company after March 🙁

Yes thanks Ronny, excellent article!

[Jay Soriano] “There seems to be a huge amount of FCPX effects availability out there.”
I would imagine it’s because a lot more people use FCPX to Edit than Resolve and it’s quite easy to develop effects because of the Motion “engine” that underlies it.

Happy New Year to you too David and many thanks for all your contributions on here as well.

[Oliver Peters] “My 2 cents”
Nicely written article Oliver, thanks for posting 🙂

[Oliver Peters] “you can’t use a laptop as a good measure of best performance.”
Yes, but as a reference point it works, both Resolve and FCPX work well with XAVC on my system. PPro doesn’t.

[Oliver Peters] “I don’t mean to minimize these issues. But I live and work in a market with multiple corporations, production companies, and broadcasters with multi-seat Premiere Pro installations on both Macs and PCs. Premiere is probably the single most installed NLE in town, with Media Composer/NewsCutter a second. I have freelanced at some of them and I know editors and managers at all of them. In general, no one has ever mentioned this level of instability. Occasional crashes? Sure. Multiple crashes every day? Nope. There’s clearly some issue causing this on that specific system or with those projects/media.
“I’m sure you’re right, I don’t have a lot of experience recently with PPro, it’s just my experience.
I also still find it’s an absolute dog with 4K XAVC material when using a laptop Mac, whereas FCPX and Resolve are much faster. But again I’m sure with a fast system that is optimised for PPro it’s much better.

[Oliver Peters] “Yes, it is and also very atypical. I work at a shop with 9 edit stations running Premiere Pro,”
Doesn’t mean it’s “atypical” I only have one edit station but I had a few crashes on a recent PPro project I worked on and I REALLY missed FCPX’s save function when it did happen.
