FINAL CUT IS PRO NO MORE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- It’s over for Final Cut Pro. It can drop the pro. After what Apple said at WWDC about final cut and how they highlighted DaVinci resolve has really sealed final cut’s fate to be more a capcut competitor than a serious professional tool. And I have completely lost confidence and hope for the future Pro version of final cut pro. With the Final Cut Pro 10.8 bringing kinda cool features, will the next one prove me wrong and bring all the pro features and Apple intelligence we have been asking for?

“One man’s opinion is NOT everyone’s outlook”
People like to dogpile though
so true
I use FCP everyday and will continue to use it because it's faster at doing the tasks I need it to do to produce income. Ive heard this same argument for a while, it's not like people weren't saying that about legacy FCP when comparing it to AVID. It's always the hands and the mind of the editor, at least for now, that is responsible for producing great content, not the software. FCP is more than capable on almost all fronts. Does it take workarounds on a few things? sure. But its efficiencies outweigh its deficiencies. at the end of the day, use whatever you want.
It would be funny if Apple bought Blackmagic Design
Anyways the answer was always the same: use BOTH. When I need advanced stuff, I use DVR, when I need to make something fast (like my YT videos) - I use FCP because it’s beyond competition in terms of speed
Exactly! My use, too. Fcpx can’t be beat for broad stroke quick delivery. The magnetic timeline is brilliant. Davinci for advanced stuff
I would cry; there are things I don't love about Blackmagic in general-I had to delete most of this comment, since it turned into a mildly schizophrenic rant about cameras shipping in 2023 with horribly unreliable exFAT CFast 2.0 slots and janky USB 3.1 ports, that are too slow, mind you, to even keep up with the insane amount of data some of these cames output, rather than just exposing standard PCI-Express-based storage, as well as the cinema world's mind-boggling obsessionw with Thunderbolt when Ethernet is essentially the standard fabric for literally everything else at this point, with 100Gbps NICs on eBay for $80, 400Gbps available for several years now, and 800Gbps coming soon.
That said, Blackmagic is one of the few manufacturers who hasn't been totally evil, made cinema significantly more accessible and open, and most importantly for me: their software isn't limited to macOS or Windows.
One really nice thing about DaVinci Resolve is that it has native Linux support; I don't have to worry about Apple fucking me over every few years by dropping support for perfectly usable hardware, turning it into e-waste; I don't have to deal with the super flawed, corruption-prone APFS, or NTFS; and there is nothing that comes close to the audio latency you can get from Pipewire and a semi-realtime kernel on Linux.
It's been a dream compared to anything else. If Apple were to buyout BMD, I would be very surprised if other platforms did not slowly but slowly but abrutply discontinued with little warning. I am very happy being able to use a system I can put together with powerful off-the-shelf commodity hardware, having the freedom to tune the system to my performance needs, and the ability to audit, strip, and lock things down; I can't get that with Apple or Microsoft.
😮 If Apple bought Resolve, they will ruin it, BMD makes gear and gives away Resolve Studio for free if you bought a BMD camera gear. BMD continues to update Resolve, unlike Apple they don’t do a good job as they used to do in the past. BMD listen to their users, Apple no longer does, all they ask from you is to report it!
As a DR linux user, please no.
Apple is a close source system. A disaster for open source users.
I still think I can edit and cut a video the fastest on FCPX.
Same!
Same here
I just purchased it a few weeks ago? Learn about multicam & can cut a video now in a min lol
Me too!
same

Thanks for watching and the comment!
And it works, we both clicked 🤷♂️

It was even worse before he changed the thumbnail and the title. Looks like he took some feedback but still ridiculous and I unfollowed him.
@@fitbody360 you’re still here?
Why does Final Cut doesn’t have auto captions.. don’t get it
The title of this video should be FINAL CUT IS PRO NO MORE FOR ME
OR…
you could just not get triggered by words. Life is not that serious.
@@ab85main73 If they aren’t serious why did you feel the need to reply? Life’s not that serious. Chill. 😎
Kind of cool? No NLE has anything even close to "Enhance light and color" option that works like that. The only reason why you would use Davinci is exactly why you're using it, not because it's better but because you work with people who are using it so you're practically forced to use it. For solo editors there is nothing even close to Final Cut, no matter how it's called, and that's like 98% of the market :)
I agree and that is what I said in the video, and yes the enhance light and color is kinda cool, it's one step above auto color balance with more fine tuning. I love FCP as a crew of one, and 98% of the Mac market, which is only 11% of the total market. CapCut is coming to eat FCP's lunch, similar features, plus more kinda cool features, ease of use, and cross platform, and (mostly) free.
Thanks for watching and the comment Vlad!
And if you are bulding your own team, just focus on FCP. I own my editing studio, so if Windows got in there, that would be on me. How did he end up with "all these tools" on different platforms? Heck, for us, Linux WOULD be the second choice platform, not Windows.
@@RafaelLudwig CapCut is not “free”. You pay by giving away a lot of privacy and rights, don’t you? I use it sometimes for quick social media versioning of client videos. It creates dynamic captions so effortlessly, that is tempting. But I do feel guilty when I use it, as I am submitting material that my client paid for to the TikTok machine. I have my doubts, because I feel that I am legally in a grey zone as soon as I upload any client footage to CapCut.
I’m actually looking forward to next final cut pro update. The ease pf use sometime underestimated. For content creators who are more focused on story rather than visual quality this is great option for fast workflow. For me having both davinci resolve and final cut is a great option, for fast youtube videos my go to is final cut pro but for film festival short films and collaborating with colour corrector and sound designer davinci is awesome. So I actually like this divergence to give us more diverse tools rather than two tools that do pretty much the same thing.
Shout outs to all the OG Final Cut Pro 7 users who have already gone thru this once already….
its not the program its the editor.
Unless it crashes like Premiere
I left FCP a number of years ago for DaVinci and have never looked back. I still have FCP on my Mac but never open it.
@@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker how? DR is the worst app dealing with 3rd party templates such as titles and transitions, I must use another project to edit or import it to my project and this is not practical at all
Same here... And I REALLY wanted to like/use Final Cut.
At the end of the day, no one can look at a film and say, "hey that was edited with FCPX".
Yup, no one cares what something was edited on.
Except when you have to hand off a project!
Thanks for watching and the comment!
You are 100% correct, Apple fell asleep at the wheel years ago. They had a window to take over the editing space, but didn’t put the time and energy into it. They left the door wide open for Resolve to jump in and take over. In the next 3 years Resolve will be the go to editor and color correction king. Facts
Yup! I called it 3 years ago that DR was coming to eat everyone's lunch.
Thanks for watching and the comment!
I think you’re right - if you are a hardcore Pro Davinci is arguably peerless at this stage. Me, I’m a graphic designer and video content creator and FCP has always been my go-to for speed and simplicity, and I hope it will always stay that way. As long as Apple keep supporting and improving it on that level (and please add a few desperately needed features like auto caption-creation) I’m happy for the distinction. As for Premier, nah, no way, I’d sooner learn Davinci for sure.
You hit the nail on the head! My thoughts exactly! As a content creator who needs a quick workflow it works for me. But I could imagine that if I were still doing more professional work I would have left FCPX in a heartbeat
I'm done waiting for FCPX breakthrough. The lack of professional audio editing is a DEAL BREAKER. DR I'm coming!
agreed
Why not just use Logic for that?
All we need is a keyframe editor for fcpx and im fine 😂😂
this plus better Audio! An awesome integration with Logic Pro would cut it for me too. But it is too unstable.
@@joachimiseni6428audio is fine just get izotope and you can transfer seamlessly into logic if you need to and mix there
Read the manual. You can edit keyframes in FCP…
@@KilianMusterbut there is no graph editor with which u could control the smoothness of the keyframes.
@@KilianMuster no graph editor in Fcpx yes their is very limited keyframe capabilities but you cannot ease effects either
A few months ago, I switched from FCP to DR, and I really love it so far. It was a huge learning curve at first, but there are so many things you can do with Resolve. However, from time to time, I do miss FCP, mainly for its simplicity and magnetic timeline, but I feel like it's too basic for my current needs.
@@Romafedorov hi just curious, what are things that you can do in DR that you can’t do in FCP?
@@djepodjepo Edit audio based on tracks, magic mask, noise reduction, Fusion, node based color grading, color space transforms, better mask/power window options. These some of the things that are better in Resolve. There's so much more..
@@Romafedorov ok appreciate the answer, thanks
Thanks. Downloading DaVinci now.
Worth it, if it's what works best for you! Thanks for watching and the comment!
@@RafaelLudwig I’ve been thinking about trying something new and also thinking about FCP not being so pro anymore for a while now. Your video just pushed me to try out something different. Thanks again.
@@RafaelLudwig And how many percent did you earn now?
Admittedly, I only use FCPX and have never used DV, but I came here to see the primary features I’m missing. Looks like they are Windows version, deeper sound editing & deeper color grading.
I don’t need Windows - for years I’ve worked in an all Mac shop. I could see the value in more sophisticated color grading - even AI color grading - but the FCPX tools have been adequate for me.
The main improvement I’d wish for would be better audio management - even just an extensive graphic equalizer. But not only is this a fairly rare need, and not only could this easily appear in a next upgrade, but it’s even not so hard to process audio separately in a different app in the rare situation I’d need that.
Did I miss any *other* key FCPX failings?
oh well, yessir, drop FCP and at the same time bring out the Final Cut Camera for iOS & iPadOS. Klingt echt nach nem Plan.
I will not switch from FCP to any other video editor, because for my current projects it is the best in terms of stability and speed. For example, on Mac mini M1 with minimal configuration multi-camera project with color correction and graphics layer it renders fast enough, - in a minute and a few seconds it renders a ten-minute video. DaVinci on a Mac mini will only be able to run, but it can't run on such weak hardware.
FCP is still my favourite NLE for a crew of one! It's a smart choice. I wish I could use it from start to finish of every project! Thanks for watching and the comment!
Why do we care, I’m not coming to you as a client. You want to use that toy final cut as opposed to the greatest editing system in the world… Da Vinci resolve. Be my guest you Keep driving your Ford focus I’ll stick with my Tesla.
And everybody keeps talking about how fast they can edit… Speed is so unimportant compared to quality and thoughtfulness and meaningfulness… Bunch of dummies on the Internet who think that the faster you edit the better. People are dumb as dirt
Thanks Rafael you always say the truth about Final cut pro. 1 year ago i understand everything Apple were doing, and i switched to resolve.
I wonder what that would mean for ApplePro Res Raw?
From my understanding FCP is really the only software that can properly edit this codec?
The adobe suite works just as well with pro res raw; plus if you convert pro res raw to cinema dng, you can use it in resolve. I agree with you there will always be a place for fcpx because it manages to balance the right amount of professional capabilities with a consumer friendly tools designed for ease of use, and obviously transcoding media to cinema dng is time and storage consuming.
I think you’re right and as a basic content creator I’m excited about that.
I use Davinci for everything and I am the typical "one man show" who produces little video here and there for family and orgs I'm involved with.
I also have live/recording audio background. Because of this, I absolutely cannot deal with the "iMovie-esque" audio system in FCPX.
Fairlight wins me over, being intuitive to all other DAW-type software.
I love that in Davinci I can throw an adjustment clip over a whole bunch of clips from one venue and color grade them all (to 95%) in one shot. Then do the same for the audio track.
I can cut, edit, color correct, tweak audio, transitions, and deliver a video blazingly fast in Davinci compared to FCPX.
All the crazy tools are there to do advanced stuff, but I barely use most of them.
The appeal to Davinci for me is that each of the 'pages' presents the info in a way that allows for intuitive use if you have some background in that area, say color, or audio. As opposed to FCPX which forces you to use an inspector-driven and individual-clip approach for everything. Even when it is an entirely sub-optimal workflow - audio in my case.
Right on! Yeah the audio is leaps over anything FCP could do. Apple would have to integrate Logic into FCP to come close. DR is clearly the winner for you.
Thanks for watching and the comment Will!
Sorry to hear Raf this as it's part of your workflow and revenue stream. I can't say that I'm surprised though. Everything post FCP7 (IMO) hasn't been with the aim to an the industry leader. Their focus has been more on hardware.
I have been using whatever is best for the current project I am on. I am NLE Agnostic, Personal project FCP, team projects DR. I'll use iMove and CapCut if there is nothing else to use. the fundamentals to editing remain the same. Thanks for watching and the comment!
I’m not pro enough the relearn a new program as I think for my vlog fcpx is pro enough. 😅
Next video: "I was wrong - Final Cut just got LIT AF!!!! 🔥"
Oh man I would love that! I would easily say I was wrong if that were the case. But it will more than likely be, “ see, I was right”
Thanks for watching and the comment!
@@RafaelLudwig wait till Christmas. They’re pulling up their socks.
(I don’t even use it, but I know they’re catching up rapidly)
Here's what you missed: Final Cut Pro is STILL a superior editor to anything else out there. Try doing a retime curve on Davinci and count the number of steps. Final Cut Pro lacks in other departments such as sound (sidechaining anyone?) and color grading. It is superior in keywording, batch exports, performance with 10+ bit 4K footage. It sucks in color management (Color Space Transform is dearly needed). I mainly agree with you and have bought Davinci and using it almost exclusively nowadays. However for editing Davinci is eons behind, I can edit 3 times faster in FCP. XML transfers to Davinci are still a pain.
100% agree! I’ve made other videos talking about those things specifically. Thanks for watching and the comment Nikos!
Truly. XML transfers are useless if you have multiple layers and cross fades
How will Premiere Pro function of a Macbook 512Gb M1 of 8gb ram. 4K editing A rolls or B rolls
I personally use FCP for my personal projects and I love it. My only concern about FCP amd Motion is, if they are capable of doing VFX and animation like Premiere and After Effects.
Premiere is a slow and crashing hog, so no FCP won't be as slow and crashing 😁. When it comes to AE, it's definitely more capable but also way more complicated and the UI of AE is created by a blind retarded monkey. So with Motion you can do 80-90% of what you can do in AE, but in 20% of the time (editing and rendering).
I've edited multiple feature films. Avid, Premiere, Resolve, and FCPX...FCPX is without question far and away still my favorite editor and it's not even close. Even with working with my team, granted I only have 4 employees, being an FCPX power user was always a part of my hiring process and we fly through it. The fact that Will Smith and Margot Robbie's "FOCUS" as well as "Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot" and multiple other major studio films have been cut on FCPX over the past decade, this is a ridiculous take lol.
The fact that you have to reference movies from almost a decade ago and working in a small team is proving my point. Look at the list of movies made with Final Cut Pro 7 vs X is a clear sign that Hollywood moved on. Sure Final Cut X has made dozens of Hollywood movies over the last decade - that makes it bespoke at best, not a power house editor. Can the current Final Cut make award winning work, yes. Is it the best for a crew of one, yes, It is the professional industry standard, no, not by a long shot. It is a powerful prosumer tool.
Thanks for watching and the comment!
@@RafaelLudwig The reason it switched up when 7 jumped to X is because old dogs and new tracks yadda yadda yadda. You weren’t convincing guys used to 7 and Avid to learn the magnetic timeline. Every jumped ship to FCP 8, aka Premiere
I don’t know why I got cut off lol. Anyway, everyone hopped on FCP8 aka Premiere, and quite frankly, it makes sense. People don’t really want to learn new things when they’re stuck in their ways and you’ve got guys coming off of the Studio/Shake combination workflow and here comes Apple, talking this crazy “magnetic timeline” theory. Turns out, they were correct tho. Pound for pound IMO it is still the absolute best editor out there and if your entire studio runs on it it’s multitudes more efficient than the others 💯
Final Cut holds an edge in Multicam with multiple audiosources. Resolve and Premiere really suck at this. BUT that is a really small advantage. Resolve is still my go to unless I'm in a big hurry.
This is exactly it! FCP is my fastest editor, I use it for all my rough cuts regardless of the project, footage in, edit assembly, get it in front of clients, as they review I export xml and rebuild in DR and go on to finish there. I wish I could do it all in FCP. No client wants an FCP project file to deal with, DR is still a bit of a hard sell but acceptable once explained. FCP is a hard no.
Thanks for watching and the comment!
tbh almost any most basic software is enough for most people. people use "the best" yet use like 10 percent of the softwares possibilities let alone ,,ost of them don`t actually use it the way is should be used.
I'm not an FCP user but am rooting for it in the professional space as we need options so we have options unlike the photoshop users.
This is probably one of the best reasons for FCP to succeed, very true and insightful. Thanks for pointing out this perspective, you are right! Thanks for watching and the comment!
Raphael thanks for keeping US INFORMED, and don’t worry about the haters , you just keep on rocking.
Thanks! I make these videos to share my thoughts as I know others feel the same way, or have the same questions. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Sounds like DaVinci Resolve my be in the acquisition scopes for Apple. But we’ll see. Sure most money is made w the general consumer but they really do care about their pro/business demo.
I only use Final Cut when I record in Pro Res Raw ... Nice video btw ...
I've never even heard of this Final Cut, why would you use it if Davinci Resolve is available ?
For me as a beginner, Capcut is much more easer and interface friendly than FCP. Thanks for a video👍
The thing is that the problem you are describing has always been there, as FCP has never been a collaborative NLE.
For sure, I did have hope that it would eventually get there. Now that hope is gone, it’s over!
Thanks for watching and the comment!
@@RafaelLudwig But we knew what was coming in this update. Don't get me wrong: I totally understand your point and the reason why you are switching. But I think that in your case you thought "enough" because of your needs and It is not really related with the update. I'm also tired to see that Apple does the bare minimum to keep FCP alive. I hope that now that a lot of AI features will como with Sequoia and thar Logic got a big upgrade, we will see more requested features in FCP. But I don't think collaborative tools are coming.
I just moved from a PC using Premier and bought a 13” iPad Pro and although I mainly edit photos I did use PP for some travel video and family video projects. I love the iPad for its portability so I’m currently trying PFP for iPad and although it’s super simple and easy to make a quick edit and DOES I put my XFAVC 4k canon clog 3 footage and I can color it pretty nicely there are some simple features that I really used in PP that are def not able to be done in the iPad version. I think I can get like 85% there with FCP but and left wanting more. I’m just a bit intimidated by trying to figure out DR. I know the iPad version is way more powerful I think I just need to get used to it.
I own both FCP and DaVinci. FCPX blows DaVinci out of the water in terms of speed and ease of use for editing. Even in VFX, I've done 20-layer composites on FCP that kept crashing on DaVinci. DaVinci has the upper hand on variety of FX and of course color grading. DaVinci is where I go for color grading and fine-tuning certain VFX or doing Magic Mask. Having both is the way to go.
AI Captions will come in 10 years! that seems to be the timeline for things people ask for.
Truth! Thanks for watching and the comment!
Exactly! Like it’s 2024! I really want a refund.
Remember Aperture? The story repeats.
Filmora is a good video editor though ❤
That's absurd. Apple loves their third party apps, which is why they showcase Resolve and Premiere (and others) regularly. They are crucial to a robust computer platform. As for being your "one stop shop" -- that is clearly not their goal. They are an editing platform. Not a VFX one. Not a high end mixing one. And the renaming effects, and search filter for effects -- are both crucial tools to the professional editing community. This doom and gloom stuff is so tiring.
I want to be able to use FCP on every project, that is what I mean by one stop shop. Personal and client projects. It would be nice to finish, mix and deliver in FCP but that is not the case, so more and more I have to start and finish edits in other apps. For a crew of one, it's great! Having to develop muscle memory for multiple apps that do mostly the same thing differently sucks - I want to use it every time. Tired of trying to convince clients to use it. It's always a hard no. SO Pro it ain't (for me)
Thanks for watching and the comment!
Still waiting to hear why you're comparing Final Cut to Capcut 😂 😂
If your only issue is Final Cut only being on Mac, well duh pick your platform.
Didn't hear any actual valid reasons tbh
Capcut is free and easy to use, Final Cut is easy to use but not free.
The amount of progress CapCut has made in the last 2 years is embarrassing compared to FCP. Another year or 2 and it'll have more capabilities than FCP and a vastly larger user base. Apple has no reason to continue seriously developing FCP when other companies are doing it for free for them. The new generation of content creators are learning on CapCut, and professionals are using DR. FCP user base is not growing, and Apple has a track record of promising pros one thing and not delivering or delivering the bare minimum (ahem Silicon Mac Pro)
If it doesn't get banned in the states, Capcut is coming to eat FCP's lunch with the creative consumer. DR already ate the Pro lunch.
It's over! But I made a video about how Apple could capitalize if the CapCut ban happens.th-cam.com/video/Ag96jZb-I1g/w-d-xo.html
I predict that Apple will acquire Blackmagic Design sometime in the next year or so just like they did with Emagic (Logic Pro) and even the company that first designed the interface in Final Cut Pro X. This would make a lot of sense as both companies complement eachother very well.
That makes zero sense for Apple. They don't need Blackmagic to make FCP better. And the BM business is far more complicated and less profitable than Apple's one.
It would make more sense for Apple to sell (or license) FCP code to black Magic and let them run with it. Or integrated it into DR.
Thanks for watching and the comment!
Does Da Vinci have gaming recording?
Does Da Vinci have similar to Affinity photo?
@@steffdia7080
1: no, you use OBS fir that
2: no, its an video editor
I use DR but would not migrate to DR from FCP UNTIL DR gets a MAGNETIC TIMELINE! Moving videos around is a ROYAL PAIN. FCP does seem to be going down the road of iMovie.
Final Cut will compete with Cap Cut...assuming Cap Cut isn't banned (a la TikTok). Maybe Apple sees an opening with the advanced/prosumer market, and sees that opening is about to get bigger (potentially).
you have consumer, prosumer, and professional. Final Cut is somewhere in the middle and the middle is a bigger market. Thats okay and DaVinci Resolve is phenomenal.
Gotta be wary of free software. When Premier Pro moved to a subscription service, I felt betrayed. At some point, Davinci will need to make money, somehow. For now, Final Cut does pretty much everything I need.
I Think you lack some knowledge about Black magic design. DaVinci resolve is a free editing software with a paid upgrade available. But, they dont earn their money from any of it. BMD earn their primary revenue from hardware like cameras. That is also why they give you an almost free speed editor if you buy the studio version of davinci.
I don’t trust Apple anymore, every time they start a new photo editor and bookmaker they end up just ending it suddenly? Why invest in a company that isn’t going to stick with their products!
Not even Apple uses Final Cut “pro”.
Exactly! Thanks for watching and the comment!
Welcome to the DaVinci Resolve fold. Aussie Aussie Aussie!
I saw your thumbnail and I agreed with your video immediately
Is it possible Apple may be preparing to buy BlackMagic and make Davanci an Apple product the same as they did with Logic (from eMagic)?
Nop
I don't think so. Apple would not want to get into all the hardware BlackMagic produce and the idea of DaVinci is to get people into the whole BlackMagic world.
I seriously doubt it
No they are not.
Thanks for the video, sorry for the off topic, but can someone do a good FCPX with Sony clips roundtrip to Davinci and back again tutorial? I have searched everywhere and can only find old ones that do not work properly. Every single time I try to do it there is some kind of problem. Media not not found in Davinci due to the Timecode problems, which I cn fix manually which is already a PIA, but then Davinci NEVER recognizes my crops and transforms and is useless. I am sure I'm not the Only Sony users and FCPX users that would like to color grade in Davinci. I would actually try Davinci for everything if they had a way of selecting my favorite clips and building a timeline off those selects as fast and easy as FCPX. As for now, there are too many extra folders or keystrokes needed to do it. I can BLAZE through my clips, Hit I/O then F and then only looks at my favorites to build my timeline, There is NO other way in any program to do it faster. Thanks if anybody can make or know where there is a proper FCPX---} to Davinci and Back workflow with Sony clips. PLEASE!!!
Frustrating but a simple fix with the Sony camera Timecodes - download commandpost (free extension for Macs) and use Sony Timecode repair in the tool box - it has saved my butt many times commandpost.io/toolbox/sony-timecode/
It may not solve the crops and transforms perfectly, (if at all) but it'll solve the timecode.
Thanks for watching and the question!
@@RafaelLudwig Yes I have used that, Thank you. Your are right does not fix the crops or transforms. So until then will just have to do everything manually before exporting to DR and then Manually apply with copy paste everything again... Thank you! Command post is my favorite all time tool. Specially for exporting individual clips from a timeline. Life saver!!!
@@ekphotography yeah it’s great! Sorry it didn’t help out more.
Dude imo final cut pro is a BEAST and the "pro" is just a name. Kinda like how airpods pro have it but it doesn't mean anything
Great review (+1 subscriber). And Resolve is optimized for NPU/Copilot+PC, perfect on the Go 🚀
BlackMagic is pro? What is RED or Arri? Super Pro? Nobody is shooting high level content on BlackMagic cameras....
I should have been more specific - Post production pro equipment - I was more referring to DaVinci Resolve, and at this point Black Magic is the only one that has a camera that will should 8k for each eye for immersive video.
Thanks for watching and the comment Scotty!
Exactly. BlackMagic is entry to mid level pro. Nikon/RED and Arri are extreme high end pro. That's exactly what it is.
Good luck!
I heard the new release from Apple and walked into a retailer to buy the DaVinci Resolve speed editor with the pro version of the software over the weekend. I’m so done with the lack of innovation in Final Cut and seeing CapCut do things that I have hundreds of dollars in plugins to do is like a slap in the face. Done and gone
I think like you.. I have now definitively switched to davinci.. Final cut for those who don't try.. it's more than fine
this is a new age, an editor must have and know how to use at least 2 NLE's. FCP and Davinci Studio add up to $600. If you are going to be making money of editing, it's a small price to ask. Try buying a plumbers tools, set yourself up as an electrician. $600 is a fair cost.
I thought that what's iMovie was for 😭
Totally understand, can't understand why there's no auto captions or text editing... even Capcut has more features. I'm leaving FCP because I don't want to be left behind. Think Apple is more a hardware company than software. Waited over 10 years for FCP to catch up. Even if apple release a massive update, they have lost trust and their silent treatment does not help.
I don't understand your point, how on earth a NLE that lost everything it had, livetype, soundtrack, color, which in its time was at the level of what is now the resolve color page. Look, FCPX was and still is, an upgrade of iMovie to this day. In what world do you live in, so far, this program has never been Pro, lost that title, a long time ago. They thought, that the program would become something Pro, with Motion, very complicated.
I have a feeling that apple will buy Black Magic
It makes no sense for Apple to buy Blackmagic. It's a completly different business.
It's more likely Apple sells FCP to Black Magic at this point, and let them deal with it.
This has been what Apple has been doing over the last decade or so. Have dropped applications, not only in the professional world, but in the normals world.
To this day, I miss the KISS Apple iWeb application demise.
It cost $50 a month to use the rotoscope 😢
This one should have been an easy one for Apple to solve well enough, but they drop the ball on that as well. Thanks for watching and the comment Tom!
FCPX is epic. I love it
I remember when final cut pro 7 was the professional editing software and adobe was for the kids that couldn't afford it. I feel like final cut is just a joke now and adobe forgot why they became market leaders and is going to go the way of final cut when resolve overtakes it.
Where does that leave imovie 😂
That's a great question! My daughter would rather use CapCut than iMovie, that speaks volumes! Thanks for watching and the comment!
Wait… people still use a windows computer? Didn’t know people still like random crashes
I try and try to convert them to Mac but they are stuck in their ways!
Thanks for watching and the comment Lee!
@@RafaelLudwig not a problem good Sir!
Features: yes FCPX needs to better service for modern needs, e.g auto audio ducking, auto close captioning, role based audio mixing.
But purely as an NLE it works so much better. It’s a very fast and reliable video editor.
I expect Apple to focus more on backfilling AI powered features after the provide Apple Intelligence to their operating system, because some of it will be shared through an AI service (such as close captioning)
Yeah I feel they will introduce those features as they introduce them to the OS. And it’s still my favourite NLE out there, just harder to convince clients to finish projects in.
Thanks for watching and the comment!
F this video Final Cut will always be the Top G
The devs truly hate us!
It's not the Devs, it's Apple's focus, they are a consumer hardware company, and initially make the software to showcase the hardware, look at the App Store, why develop something that others are doing better for free (essentially) I believe the dev's hands are tied.
FCP died many years ago, when FCPX came. That's when i stopped using it.
LMAO. This guy thinks Final Cut Pro is only 13 years old... Kid, I've been using Final Cut Pro since 2002. When Final Cut X came out, it lost its position as Hollywood's choice in NLVE. So hearing you share your hyperbolic opinions about Final Cut Pro's future is cute.
Someone took the Delorean back to 2014.
Davinci is tha king
Final Cut Pro DID NOT come out 13 years ago. Final Cut Pro 10 came out 13 years ago. Final Cut Pro (1) came out 25 years ago released at NAB ( The National Association of Broadcasters trade show ) in 1999.
You are correct, FCPX came out in 2011 - that is what I was referencing. Currently it's the only Final Cut Pro, that I believe is pro no more.
Thanks for watching and the comment Steve!
Bugs, bugs, bugs😢
fcp has never been for any pros, it's just in the name.
fcpx is competing with caput AND LOSING. no auto captions and no KEYFRAME EDITOR. rename it movie maker at this point
what a clickbait title....
Oh absolutely, Thanks for watching and the comment!
Why do you think apple made Final Cut Pro and Apple Motion?? They’re trying to kill Adobe!!!
13 years later and Adobe is bigger than ever. Didn’t seem to work.
Thanks for watching and the comment!
@@RafaelLudwig But wouldn’t you rather not pay a subscription?
@@GemTappX 100%! Though I work with non Mac users, so project hand offs are near impossible with motion and fcp. Motion and fcp aren’t well established in the industry to be a standard. Easier to get work with Adobe than fcp and motion. Not my preference but a reality currently.
@@RafaelLudwig Ah, that makes sense. You work with others so handing off a project using Adobe because it’s cross platform works perfectly. In my case I’m switching to Final Cut Pro and Motion, I still have a subscription to Adobe’s Creative Cloud which includes Premiere Pro and After Effects but I find that Premiere Pro gets slower and slower over the years. Adobe keeps updating it with a bunch of stuff I don’t need..
Final Cut X was the end of Final Cut.
@@Robert08010 I went back to Final Cut 7 after forcing myself to complete my first FCPX project. That’s when I found out how slow FCP7 was, and actually a total surprise, instead of loving it or just feeling clunky and familiar, I hated it as much as I hated FCPX for the first week. I went back to FCPX and none of the pain was there anymore.
@@whophd That's interesting. I went back and forth too using FCP 7 at home and FCX on my work machine. I never noticed or thought about the render speed of the machine itself. I only noticed the vast number of things I could no longer do or struggled to do in X but was totally fluent in Studio. I didn't hate everything about X. It's multi-cam stuff was a needed feature. especially for me. And it seemed as if compressor was easier to use. What bothered me was in FCPro7/Studio3 I had access to every feature to such an extent I never needed adobe after effects. Because FCPro had key frames attached to everything. For them to dump all that off and call if a version 10 was just a total offense. It felt like they were purposefully trying to insult their existing customer base.
I dumped 7 & X (Apple) in favor of Davinci Resolve around 2019, and I still can't do the same level of work in Resolve that I could in FCP7. The whole nodal way of interacting with fusion is still a bit of a mystery to me. Sometimes I get some results but its rarely what I expected it to be. I can handle everything else that resolve has to offer.
Editing videos with Final Cut Pro on 8G RAM ! Only Apple can do ! Ever! Besides, There is even no such basic effect like "box blur" neither in Final Cut Pro, nor in the "professional" Apple Motion ! Never ! Additionally, many of the 3rd party fonts installed in MacOS that are displayed in font book but could not be identified in Final Cut Pro/Apple motion but they are perfectly listed and working in Adobe premiere pro/ After effect, and as well perfectly in Davinci resolve ! Whatever !
You cannot buy final cut pro for ipad now !!!! I dont know why I turn from windows and android to this company that eat his customer every time every years every month! Live is big not just mobile or computer.
👏👏👏
This is BS. It's just click bait. Ludwig doesn't give a single reason to back up his ranting, citing vagaries like "not precise enough". What? Come on, this is bull poop. Get a life. Use the tool that you want, but stop click hunting. I am out of here.
Sure buddy, Thanks for watching and the comment!
@paulsmedia2024 DR is the future, you are free to choose the tools YOU want.. we'll choose the tool that we need. I am very pleased to see how polite the author has reacted to your comment.. grow up buddy!!
talking crap Final Cut Pro is great
Ohhhhh snap! Apple and Blackmagic have been enemies forever......So maybe this is a first step to finally being able to edit ProRes Raw in Resolve too. Converting to DNG is so bad with artifacts if trying any compression at all.
I’ve edited hour long Documentaries, wedding films, commercials and so many other heavy projects in FCP, I also use it to color everything I film. I definitely wouldn’t say it’s a “consumer software” or less of a tool just because it doesn’t have AI features. Maybe it’s just not for everyone, just like PP wasn’t for me.
