FINAL CUT IS PRO NO MORE
Рет қаралды 65,207
Күн бұрынIt’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?

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.
@007Yasir Ай бұрын
😮 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!

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.

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 :)

@@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.

To be completely honest, FCP isn't even a competitor for CapCut; it's not even close. CapCut works on Windows, Mac, mobile, and browser, and offers built-in features like auto-captioning, text-based editing, magic mask, collaborative editing, a keyframe editor, built-in video and photo enhancers, magic light etc. FCP has lost its professional edge and has become just a basic editor. It's basically the new iMovie and people fail to realize that.
@AgentProduction88 2 ай бұрын
If you're a professional, wake up and learn something new like DaVinci Resolve. That's just the reality. Don't get stuck. FCP will always be there for you, but you need to adapt. Collaborative editing is a must these days, and FCP just doesn't support that.

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.

I learned to edit on FCP 1.25 with the traditional NLE design. When FCPX arrived, I carefully read all about how it was designed and adopted a whole new workflow for organizing and editing, which I still feel is far superior. I can't go back. I use Resolve for processing raw and Fusion for VFX. Installing Whisper Ai locally for transcriptions has changed everything. Dealing with online transcription sucked. I'm glad that era is gone.

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.

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.

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.

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
@RafaelLudwig 2 ай бұрын
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.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d81pac2Lx5OtYZs.html

Final cut pro came out 13 years ago??? What??? Are you sure??
@RafaelLudwig 11 күн бұрын
Yes the current and only version that is available right now came out 2011, even apple refers to it as Final Cut Pro - no one calls it X anymore. The previous version which was sunsetted shortly after was a completely different app - only shared a name, it was a compete rewrite. Also on screen it clearly shows Final Cut Pro X came out 2011 if there was any confusion. 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.
@brotherted9212 2 ай бұрын
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?

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.

As I use both I must admit that I use DaVinci Resolve more. Adobe Premiere is too cumbersome using technology such as rendering first which is out of the game for me. Working on Apple computers only, I use anything from Final Cut 7 on my older Macs up to the latest and yes, Final Cut X has fallen behind DaVinci Resolve.

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.

What I love about FCPX is just how easy it is to slap together edits. It can do short films and all that good stuff, but just for quick youtube/instagram stuff, FCPX is pretty great. Resolve has alot more capabilities, especially in comp/colour grading. But feels very over-built for the nonsense crap I edit. I guess iMovie could step up. Meh.... I'm a stupid nobody, nothing I say should be taken as gospel haha

What does "Pro" even mean with an NLE? Seems you can produce "pro"-looking end product on numerous NLEs, and then "consumer"-looking end product on the same NLEs. It all comes down to the "professional" editing the project, and the end result. In that regard, FCP is more than capable.
@RafaelLudwig Ай бұрын
For a crew of one, I completely agree! And yes a solo editor can be a professional. That's not my gripe with it, I can't pass a project along a pipeline or to other team members working on the same project. Round tripping with FCP is a pain, unless we start mixing it down and exporting prores, but then it loses its non distructiveness. So it's not pro (for me) Thanks for watching and the comment!

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.

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.
