My Wishlist for FCP 11: 1) AI audio transcription in multi languages 2) Text-based video editing ( by editing transcripts) 3) AI music remix to any length 4) Integration of Apple Motion in FCP like Affinity Studio ( Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher are all integrated into one App window and can switch between apps in the same window) 5) Have the same level of text customisation just like you can with Figma or other design tools ( Integrate Pixelmator ?) 6) Adobe Podcast level AI audio clean-up tool.

My wish list for Final Cut, from Davinci: - audio ducking - magic mask - better tracking - better color correction/grading - the smart reframe, to reframe horizontal video in a vertical timeline

I really hope Apple does something revolutionary with FCP. I've used it as my main editor for 3 years, and recently I switched to Resolve, but I really miss the simplicity and reliability of FCP.

I will finally turn on the feature to scan the footage on import, it'll probably be slow though. I am optimisticlly hopeful but would not be surprised if they drag their feet and sandbag adding any of these features to FCP. We've been here before. Great video as always Matthew! At the end 15:15 did you say, "Final Cut Bro will be scrapped" does Dylan know!?

Great video! The future of Final Cut Pro is…Davinci Resolve!

Asking for revolutionary features, while we dont even have build in captions . I have one or two more updates of hope before i decide to move to resolve

I'm so excited to see everything that could be coming to Final Cut Pro. You opened my eyes to see bigger than I thought possible, but if we even got a FRACTION of these features I'll be shouting with rejoice.

Great video, and you answered all the questions I have been impatiently waiting for with an amazing turnaround time and a lovely edit job at that. I would say that along with the transcript of an interview, the ability to do karaoke-like subtitles à la Captionator (with no malice intended to the fine work of Brian Murray here) that could accurately analyze the sound movement down to the syllable level, now that would be right at the top of my wish list and would save me lots and lots of time (even though I don't analyze sound movement down to the syllable level).

wHat Free effecT did yoU use to mAke your voiCe so BuTtery smoOth? Awesome run down, Matthew. Fingers crossed that your predictions will come soon this year 🤞🏼

Matthew, enjoyed your intelligent comments regarding the future of Final Cut Pro!

Hot take: the spatial video update will be part of 10.8, meaning we’re just waiting for longer

The AI editing assistant performing tasks with a voice command is what I'm hoping from apple in the near future. Bro, you produced a great content and I know you put in the time to create it.

So many incredible features, that I really want apple focus on Final Cut Pro. With the iPad version they can make money that I imagine is harder for the mac version. A lot of the iPad features will be great in the version for Mac. I feel the mac version is so behind in AI, features that Premiere has. I have hope for FCPX

Dang, great video. Smart analysis. I could certainly see this pathway for FCP - and am very excited about it!

Never the best messaging when you have the world watching your presentation of an editor using your hardware and not your (supposedly) competing software. It's an interesting thought that there might be a shift to spacial stuff, I just don't think there is enough adoption rate or infrastructure to utilize it on a large scale. It would take 5-10 years I would guess.

Would love to see text based editing and filler word removal like in Descript

Matt do wat ever ya gotta do to be one of the beta testers/people Fcx listens to. Great ideas…but I think we all agree text based editing should have already been here. I feel like they either listen to old avid editors or target content creators that edit their own stuff. When there is all these modern creatives and companies that grew up on Fcx and I feel Fcx isn’t growing up with them,

Incoporating Appe Intelligence into new FCP features seems like a no-brainer to me. I hope that the developers feel the same way because being able to use Siri commands to speed up some mundane tasks would be amazing. Some of the other potential features you outlined would be more than welcome! I also hope that they will give us features we didn't know we needed until we use them and can't live without them. Great video Matthew!

Waiting for a video on Final Cut Camera.

You're great at making content like this. You stand out. Keep it up!

I purchased an Apple Vision Pro and I'm 100% all in on immersive video production now. This is the future and this is worth the pain and struggle/$$ to be on the bleeding edge of production. It's so cool Apple is teaming up with a Black Magic and Divinci to create something greater than the sum of it's parts, and I think the next 2 years are going to be really special for FCP reengaging the pro market back to the platform. All good stuff!

i really want a new final cut pro version

Fantastic video, Matthew. I agree with pretty much everything you said. Especially the natural language search would be amazing. But guys, if Final Cut Pro is dead to you, just move on. I hate the comment section of these kind of videos.

I respect your optimism. Man, I really hope Final Cut Pro on desktop Mac gets that "jump the shark" moment and soon. All I saw was Da Vinci Resolve in the Vision OS segment as you illustrated. Logic has pulled ahead with version 11 and AI features.

Hi Matthew great vision you have sir. I would love to see FCP include a KZfaq algorithm video editing feature. I film the content, put all my footage into the timeline and the AI creates a 10 minute video with music aimed at my KZfaq audience. Great video and love the forward vision.

This rapid growth relies on us all having A, end users owning Spatial video goggles and B clients that ask for spatial video for that market. Currently, the amount of work for video creators (in the UK) seems reduced in the mainstream and cost of living high. Neither of these factors bode well for a high priced, cutting edge endeavour. Good luck to Apple. Final Cut Pro needs some text based editing and instant subtitles before all this IMHO. Appreciate the video and insight Matt. Cheers, Adam

I was thinking the same thing! great video!

You stated the other NLEs will catch up with FCPX. Premiere Pro and Resolve can already do some really cool things like transcribing audio and allowing the user to make use of text based editing. Having said that Adobe''s Firefly can already do some of the things you hope FCPX will soon be able to do.

I don't see a world without Final Cut Pro either, it would break my heart. I am wondering if Apple might partner with the Cioni brothers and the great Strada app they are building around the 4 Ts (Transfer, Transcribe, (T)analyse, Transcribe). The 3rd one (Tag & Analyse) will create automatically keywords on each clip and will be perfectly integrated with Final Cut Pro.

I like your ideas about the future of FCP and I hope they are all added.

I'm wondering if the future of FCP is everybody moving to DVResolve

I hope you're right about FCP. I'm surprised it hasn't gone up in price. I mean, the CPI must be up at least 25% since the $300 price was instituted.

I would love to go back to FCP, right now I just jump from editor to editor (Adobe, Wondershare, CapCut,....) but would much rather go back to FCP but right now looking on the other editors FinalCut is like three years behind. If I want some features that all others have (Captioning etc.) I need to get a expensive Plugin. So lets see what comes in the next months. Besides a different pricing would be nice to (subscription, etc.)

I wonder if the upcoming Final Cut Camera for iPhone will use two iPhone lenses to match the new Blackmagic Camera with two lenses. Perhaps moving files as we saw it is Apple simplified answer to cloud transfers. Apple may well have been slow to add AI to FCP because their use of AI in the OS will be the real opening of the door into AI in FCP. Apple isn't always to first but they focus on the entire ecosystem and ease of integration. FCPs search with AI may become the most flexible for any NLE in the industry and will be a killer feature for long-form documentary editors. I agree with your analysis and I think big things are coming. BTW years back when FCPX was released they mentioned a "10-year plan." It''s a bit longer than 10 years but I think we're now seeing the leading edge of that plan for FCP 11.

This month I will upgrade my MacBook Pro 16 M1 Pro. I’m looking at the Mac Studio M2 MAX 38 GPU, 96GB RAM and 1TB. Do you think it will be enough for the next 4-5 years for Final Cut Pro and Davinci Resolve? I wonder if it will be enough to edit a spatial video in the future...

I’ve long thought Apple would be the company to be able to identify with AI the moment a slate claps, but has no audio n the guide track and can still sync with the pro recorded audio…for those times when someone forgot to record the sound d guide track for syncing or the production has no locked timecode between camera and sound. This would be incredibly helpful rather than setting markers to sync manually.

Final cut already has hands-down, the best organization features. So if they use AI to enhance searching, it’s only going to get better. I’m kind of amazed at how other software has not even come close to how efficient It is to organize lots of footage in final cut.

I highly doubt iPhone mirroring will allow you to drag photos and videos into finder. That would be amazing, but I just don’t see Apple doing that. They want to make it as hard as possible to save your photos separate from iCloud…

Thanks for the video, I just started with Final Cut Pro on IPad and I’m facing a major issue, i don’t have sound or audio at all on the timeline clip once I move any clip to the timeline it loses the sound, I would really appreciate your reply

Excellent video! Hope we get a lot of the search and transcription you mention.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

Apple needs to be watching your channel for this.

We would need search AI in finder really, who imports videos into photos? .. finder needs more power for FCP to be better

SOOOO many possibilities (perhaps not limited to AI?) -Voice Commands: Instead of shortcut keys or using mouse/finger to select input type etc. Imagine selecting a clip on timeline, then just telling Siri to Lift, replace, insert, cut and snap, etc. Or, no longer needing to manually adjust volumes, which sometimes can be finicky with a trackpad mouse or finger, and instead just saying "raise volume on track 3 by 1 and play a 3 second loop, starting from cursor. -More powerful and simplified processes and review: Imagine telling FCP to "add a gaussian blur to the start of the selected clip, and preview. Then do the same with a wipe. Let me see a 30 second loop of both versions, one after another: In future versions "play both clips side by side" ... -Bring the cleanup features over to FCP: Removal of objects would be somewhat obvious. We have seen how Apple has been implementing audio features like dialogue enhancement, voice isolation etc. Use these features and Similar in FCP. -Templates and automations: Titles, sequences, etc can be easily called up and applied. Imagine starting a certain type of project and being able to have the titles, basic structure/timing, effects that may need to be duplicated, automatically come up upon selecting a template. Then from there you can replace and tweak within the framework. So everything's from the timing, effects, titles, transitions levels are all part of the template and now all you have to do is replace the content within. Imagine being able to just tell Siri to save the framework as a template, or ask Siri to recall a clip/pic/effect/etc from project ABC

FCP for iPhone Pro Max paired with Apple Intelligence could see all of us turned into cinematic film makers. Imagine shooting a scene on iPhone and then getting an analysis from Apple Intelligence on how to 'reshoot" or "add the next scene" THEN AI edits those shots from the day into a complete production! Amazing future for filmmaking...

Can provide information about FCP ipad 2 release date

Search functions and Siri voice commands are unnecessary fluff as far as I’m concerned. It makes me sooo confused that the ai base color correction and slow mo coming to 10.8 aren’t the things most discussed. Maybe it’s not useful for KZfaq videos or the countless Final Cut feature films(lol). Seriously though…without taking a poll…I can only guess that most FC usage is commercial/lifestyle videographers. Give me something like topaz ai inside FCP and I’m golden. I realize that my needs are no more important than others but visual AI tools are way more important than being able to ask Siri where I left my keys. I’d rather the end product LOOK better than save a couple hours working on a lesser quality product. Monotone rant over….😂.

This was my thought when everyone was complaining on twitter...AI AE is finally coming to FCPX hahaha...

FCP gets overtaken by all the competitors. Resolve, CapCut and Premiere all have already implemented next gen features that make cutting more efficient and faster. So what’s the matter Apple? Apparently they have completely lost the connection. FCP 11 in November? Ridiculous and too late.

Sometimes I feel sorry for Final cut users then I realize I edit on Adobe.

Kickass video

Who cares about Spatial Video Editing??? 1% of the user base?? How about catching up with Capecut in regards to AI features or even better, fixing many of the long lingering bugs and inconsistencies in FCP

Nice

Excellent

I recently found out that ketchup improves broccoli.

FCPX has become a product that serves the latest hardware and software, rather than an application tool in the professional field.

Siri, my folder of videos and images is here. Review all the other folders in that directory and compare them to the final edits for each one and create and edit for this new folder. Oh, and make me a sammich, please. 😃

I had no idea about searching in Photos. Very impressive. Lots of great ideas and future NLE insights! 🙏 FWIW, Siri is trans. It's pronoun is it ;-) My wife sometimes mentions him. I accused her of misgendering a woman of colour. Hers is a man from England. Mine is a woman from India. Also, it's software! It has no gender. It's an it

Basic things like sound effects organization which is a disturbing mess….never fixed.

I feel sad you're out here thinking more for apple than apple thinking for themselves. This definitely sounds light years ahead

Apple desintelligence

PLEASE...FIX...OPTICAL FLOW!!!

Mannnnnnn, hope you are right.....

I hope you are right, but Apple seems to be only doing this to finally not miss out on the AI hype train that's going to lead to a bubble anyways, sure what they announced seems cool but they will probably only put it in the flashiest places so they can sell to investors. Microsoft dethroned Apple from no1. spot, thats why these ai features exist.

The future of FCP is Davinci 😂😂😂

They aren’t intelligent enough to do any of this and ipad is FCP2

Final Cut Pro is dead
