  • 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?

    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.

    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
      @AgentProduction88 8 днів тому +2

      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 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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

As for Premier, nah, no way, I’d sooner learn Davinci for sure.

    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 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.

    • @motionfxes

    I left FCP a while ago. Apple only cares about what they want and do not consider our end results and how much we suffer to get their, which includes having in consideration the money we spend in Plugins. I really dislike what they have done and saving my headaches. Now using Davinci Resolve, and would also leave Davinci if Apple ever buys that software.

    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.

      Apple has no interest in camera or broadcast, what makes more sense and justifies the existence of icloud is if Apple bought Adobe, as Adobe is pure rental, you have the power of the creative suite, modified with Apple code, running on icloud, this would then further enhance the fcp for ipad rental.. Resolve would then focus on pro versions, Apple/Adobe on non pro/consumer...

  • @Filmyak01

    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)

    • @RafaelLudwig

      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.ua-cam.com/video/Ag96jZb-I1g/v-deo.html

      How much is 0% of Zero? That's my commission from Blackmagic Design. I agree with you I am not well known. Though, I feel you are conflating Professional and Famous.
      Professional: (noun) A person engaged in a specified activity, as a main paid occupation rather than as a pastime, that is competent or skilled in a particular activity.
      Famous: (adjective) Known about by many people.

      @@pep98 I use both FCP and DR, and would prefer to use FCP for everything, but I can't and more and more I can only use it for the initial rough cut - because there is nothing faster. It's when I have to pass the edit along to others or even to clients at the end of the project almost none of them want FCP project files. I have been holding out for so long that FCP would bring more features that pros would start using it more. But that is not the case. And the reason I made the video - It's hard to recommend FCP for anything other than a crew of one editor.
      I agree with you, the landscape of YT has changed and it's hard to find actual opinions that aren't influenced by gifts or money.
