I wonder how Adobe engineers reacted when Apple engineers told them to just enable the `NSMightNeedToWorkAroundBadAdobeReleaseBug` preferences key to potentially fix the issue they were having. Kinda funny that every app on macOS checks for this preferences key on launch.
Coming Soon! I got bored waiting for Apple or Blackmagic to add BRAW support for Final Cut Pro, so I've built something myself. BRAW Toolbox will be released later this year allowing you to import BRAW files natively into Final Cut Pro with audio and full metadata. Woohoo!

CommandPost is the Swiss Army Knife for Post Production Professionals.
It adds HUNDREDS of handy features to Final Cut Pro. It has advanced control surface support, like Razer, Tangent, Loupedeck & Blackmagic. And lots more!
Free & Open Source!

Got a Final Cut Pro X project that's acting a bit funky? There's a hidden "Verify & Repair Project" option in the "Clip" menu - simply hold down OPTION when you press "Clip" to access it.

Exciting Times! Lots of very smart developers told me it would be impossible to add BRAW support to

. Lots told me it would be impossible to do it on the App Store. However 131 days later - here we are!
Turns out you CAN go from Final Cut Pro on Mac to Final Cut Pro on iPad!
Even Secondary Storylines come across, and custom Motion Templates. You can't modify colour board effects, but they are applied.
This kinda changes... a lot.

Coolest Final Cut Pro 10.7 feature… they’ve enhanced “Reveal in Browser” so now if you’re in a keyword collection in the browser, it will stay in that collection if you reveal a clip from the timeline that’s in that collection. No longer goes back to the “base” event! Woohoo!
Today Apple has announced that Final Cut Pro will gain spatial video editing at some point next year.
iOS 17.2 beta 2 and macOS 14.2 beta 2 also introduce the “Spatial” media type in Photos for easy filtering.

For those confused about the upcoming "Collapse to Connected Storyline" feature in Final Cut Pro 10.7, this screenshot that Apple provided to
@LarryJordanFCP
showcases how it works. It basically just intelligently "flattens" things.
In the next public beta of BRAW Toolbox you can easily get from FCPX to DaVinci Resolve. Offline with BRAW in FCPX, then grade with BRAW in DaVinci Resolve! Coming soon.

One week to go! Unless something unexpected happens, we plan to release BRAW Toolbox on the Mac App Store next Monday 30th!

HUGE thank you to everyone who's helped make this happen! Onwards & Upwards!
Stream Deck 4.5 now supports Corsair K95 integration, which is very interesting and exciting.

My thoughts on FCPX for iPad. This is my first new iPad since the original release. FCPX is SO much more intuitive than LumaFusion, Premiere Rush & DaVinci Resolve for a new iPad user. It's SUPER fast and easy to get your head around. Great user interface. Simple, yet powerful.
Do NOT upgrade to macOS Ventura 13.2 if you’re working in Final Cut Pro with a large amount of clips. There’s a new bug in macOS that will cause FCPX to crash when using events with a large amount of clips. Thanks for reporting

I've had the great privilege to have an inside look at

today. It's pretty mind-blowing. It's still a very early alpha build - but playback performance is pretty insane, considering it's a browser app. Feels very FCPX-y. The commenting system is really cool - and
Our producers said it was about time for an official trailer...
Introducing, Sequence: Video editing, rebooted.
It's like Figma for video editing, by creators, for creators.
Exciting news! This media is stored on an external SSD on Final Cut Pro for iPad.
The trick? It needs to be imported on Final Cut Pro (for Mac) first, using "Leave files in place" - and obviously needs to be on the same SSD.

After spending a day with Final Cut Pro 10.6.7 on a new, big and complex timeline, with heaps of Motion Templates, effects, stills and random footage, it's pretty buggy. Have had to restart it a few times due to Viewer going black. Would stick with 10.6.6 if I was you.

Pretty exciting that at the start of the year I had never released a paid app, and soon I'll have five out in the wild!
BRAW, Gyroflow & Marker Toolbox are Objective-C. Transfer & Recall Toolbox are Swift UI. Using Apple's Workflow Extensions & FxPlug4 APIs.
Just got a message that said:
"You can quite literally ship this in its current form and it’s ready for prime time. This plug-in has saved me DAYS of transcoding time between FCP & Resolve. BRAW Toolbox is a plug-in every FCP editor should own."
Awesome.

Big News >> MediaExtension framework provides a means for developers to create format readers and video decoders for media that the system doesn’t natively support.
Looks like we might be able to add even better BRAW support to Final Cut Pro!

The product manager for FCPX is a professional editor. A lot of people at the top of the “open letter” to Apple are also on their professional advisory committee. Pretty much all the features in 10.7 are for pro’s. Apple is listening and does care.

Apple have been working on timeline and waveform performance for years. Looks like they’ve finally nailed it in the iPad version, so fingers and toes crossed the improvements have been ported across to Final Cut Pro 10.6.6!
One thing I was looking for in

for iPad was how waveforms would behave when zooming in & out. You can see where she pinches to zoom on the timeline & the waveform on the music track doesn’t flicker or visibly redraw. It finally looks smooth!

Rethink EVERYTHING. Build it all around collaboration, and open frameworks and technologies. Use machine learning heavily on ingest stage. Everything should be automatically transcribed, analysed and automagically synced. Automatic rough cut, with contextual machine learning

Totally, but weirdly, I feel like I can do ANYTHING in Final Cut Pro really quickly. I drive it like a Flame/Smoke. It FEELS creative. When I jump in Resolve, I feel like a technician/surgeon - not a musician. Ironically, I also don't use that many third party tools in FCPX.
