No no more open CL or Open GL in Mojave? Will this affect other NLEs?

[Shane Ross] “And because of the constant eGPU pushing…I’m not really holding out hope for what the new MacPro might be. “

Or it’s just a hint of how fast the new Mac Pro will be? (Glass half full sorta thing)

Not even Bill can defend key framing in FCPX

[Matt Kemp] “a lesser degree, colour correction, amongst others)”

Latest CC tools look pretty “pro” to me.

[Matt Kemp] ” truly worthy of pro use.

It’s so close, but so far away..”

For you maybe, for all the “Pro” FCPX users I know – it’s very close.

Is it perfect – no but saying it’s not worthy of “Pro” use is ridiculous

[Matt Kemp] “gives me the warm and fuzzies because it makes me feel I’m working with pro kit.”

Well if it makes you feel like a “Pro” then good for you 🙂

[Johnny Smith] “I’ve tried that already. After instagram compresses it it looks horrible. ProRes is the way to go, just need the settings for iphone.”

Pretty sure you can’t play Prores on iPhone

[Brett Sherman] “Honestly, I think that’s why most actual FCP X users have abandoned the forum. I don’t know why I keep coming back.
“

Because buried amongst it there is some EXCELLENT debate on here and Simon is one of the best contributors, Tim occasionally pops back which is always worth it and even Jeremy has taken some time away from his valuable contributions on the “other” forum to post here as well.

Perhaps us FCPX users should frequent the FCPX forum more? Remember how great the Final Cut Pro (classic) forum was?

[Steve Connor]

[Brett Sherman] “Simon has become increasingly dismissive of FCP X. Fine, whatever. Don’t use it. There are those of us who ACTUALLY use it on a daily basis that are plugging away quite proficiently. Do I wish Apple was more energetic about improving X. Absolutely. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s the best tool for my work.”

Exactly!

[Dominic Deacon] “Even as a program it lags miles behind Premiere for professional users “

Remind me again, why do some FCPX users push back so hard on here 🙂

[Steve Connor]

[Neil Goodman] “Most people on here can have a subjective conversation about any piece of kit – there are a couple that cannot which makes this “debate” forum rather frustrating at times, and one of these people will downright call you stupid for wanting more out of a piece of software you paid money for. Its crazy.”

It’s a simple matter of ignoring them, blocking them or just marvelling at how ridiculous some of the comments are 🙂

Just render out a high bitrate .h264, I’ve found the quality to be very good, Instagram will only crush it back down anyway.
