Final Cut Pro 10.8 Announced!

[@matthewTobrien]

And how appropriate that this video about the 10.8 update is my 300th video on the channel. Crazy. Are you excited about the FCP 10.8 update? FCP for iPad2? Final Cut Camera???

[@PaulStephenson003]

like most apple updates they state most things as revolutionary, where i see them as evolutionary... great new features, but I don't see purchasing a new ipad yet. I'm more interested in the apps. When looking at the apps I'm not sure how great it was yet either. looking forward to seeing what others have to say. Apple could have got me if they had started to converge and bring more of the pro app experience to the ipad - eg use standard fcp plugins in ipad pro, similar for logic pro, etc... I've only created one video with the ipad version of fcp and it was wanting. I'll update when it's available and see if it changes things.

[@AlisterRobbie]

do you have a feeling for how soon this will be available? I'm in the southern hemisphere, so 'spring' is a touch vague for me.

[@silkogelman]

Very excited about Final Cut Camera and the other updates! I hope you'll do a video about it that shows the perfect home studio setup, finetuning its settings, lighting etc. I expect text-based-editing to appear at WWDC next month, alongside other groundbreaking AI advancements. While Adobe's current version has room for improvement, I have high expectations that Apple will deliver a superior solution. Congratulations on your 300th video, wow! 💪😀👍

[@Thevikingcam]

The fact that you can FINALLY use external drives and no need to import huge prores RAW files in to ipad is huge. givin ipad pro the editing power what it has in it for real use.

[@matthewTobrien]

Agreed!

[@Stealther]

This was what kept me from using the iPad version. I’ll wait for the reviews to see it in practice first but it sounds like it should finally be good to go!

[@matthewTobrien]

Glad that new feature helped seal the deal!

[@Nietzman]

Unfortunately we need a bit more than external SSD support to get feature parity with the Mac. Can we roundtrip and if yes, what about plugins, templates or luts?

[@Thevikingcam]

@@Nietzman For me i do proress RAW to proress 4444 convert in ipad, then colour correct it in resolve 19. Also in ipad.

[@FerryKnijnFotografie]

Hi, well still waiting for the full release notes, but looking at what Resolve is doing every update and Apple.. Does Apple still want to keep the name Pro in FCP??? If these are the only updates, well it feels like a bad joke....

[@matthewTobrien]

I hear you. And yes, Apple has a lot of ground to cover to catch up, but there are some features they simply won’t pursue. Unless they release Final Cut Studio… 🤔

[@xxphactor]

That's how I am. It's nice and all, but that's like 3 changes per year?

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Whoaaaa okay, renaming corrections is sweet (something we should've had a long time ago) but that quick copying of effects is so huge. That's going to speed up my workflow so much more. Great run down, Matthew!

[@matthewTobrien]

Thanks, buddy! And I agree. Definitely going to speed things up for many of us with effects-heavy edits. Can’t wait to try it out!

[@iamericlenz]

Thank you for the thorough coverage! You're my life-saver. I was moving to my new studio all day. 😭 ONE DAY IM OUT OF OFFICE, and Final Cut Pro gets an update... :D

[@matthewTobrien]

My pleasure! I know it's a little quick and dirty with a livestream and an Ecamm-recorded video but most of the info is in there. I did miss that there's a new button in the UI for turning the scrolling timeline on/off. Posted about that on X. And of course the one week I'm out of the country - that's the week Apple releases a "big" update to FCP. Of course.

[@shootitsteve]

Christ… I just want auto-captions… I have to round-trip everything from a PRO SOFTWARE through CapCut just to get captions. Renaming layers isn’t a feature; it’s a mistake that’s taken them a decade to correct. Utterly ridiculous.

[@matthewTobrien]

If you haven't submitted feedback within the Final Cut Pro app to Apple directly, I highly recommend doing so. It's the best tool we have (next to perhaps starting a YT channel and amassing 30k subs and talking about desired features there) to let Apple know what features are most important to us.

Thank you Matthew, Hopefully 10.8 compatible with N-RAW 12 bit (NEV)!

[@matthewTobrien]

Ooooooh, I have my doubts but that would be cool!

[@mihimarugt520]

The Mac version of FCP is updated to adapt to the iPad version, which is a setback for professional software.

[@CraigNiesenPhotography]

It's great to see Apple showing some love to Final Cut Pro. Thank you for sharing the information; I haven't had time to watch the event.

[@matthewTobrien]

Check it out! I thought the ad where they crush all of the stuff into an iPad was sad, though 😔

[@dwoodog]

Very cool. I just started using FCP last December. The one place I feel FCP is weak is the time code. Seems to me, from the info I've been watching if your using a time code generator and syncing it through the mic jack, you would need something like Davinci to decode it first.

[@Kit.Nicole]

Main thing I’m looking for is the fix to the bug that prevents shared xml files from opening. I was wondering why a small update didn’t come out when the issue was first identified, I guess they may have been bundling it together with 10.8

[@matthewTobrien]

Good to know - I haven't encountered that bug since I'm not really using XMLs in my workflow. Be sure to submit feedback through Final Cut Pro directly to the FCP team - if enough of us do it I think it does have an impact.

[@Kit.Nicole]

@@matthewTobrien Already have 👍 The great part is someone in the Apple Forum was able to identify the choking point in the code, so we at least have a temporary work around until the fix comes.

[@BrewsandWhoKnew]

Thank you for releasing this into a bite size video. I am however pretty let down by FCPX yet again with these updates, it just feels like they are playing catch up with Premiere and Resolve still. It's getting harder and harder for me to leave Premiere and their awful pricing when this is what I'm getting...

[@matthewTobrien]

Wait, you didn't want to watch an hour and twenty minute long livestream replay??? 😂 What features are you using in Premiere that are must-haves for FCP? Not asking because I don't think there are any - just genuinely curious what's so valuable in Premiere and missing in FCP. Thanks for watching!

[@artisanvideography]

How does 'Smooth Slo-Mo' differ from Optical Flow? Aren't they doing the same thing? Do you think the new option is the replacement for Optical Flow or just a renaming? I haven't been able to download 10.8 so I can't check it out yet.

[@matthewTobrien]

I have a feeling it's a new, separate feature and it will use the principles of optical flow but with much better machine learning... it may not work perfectly with all footage but I have to think it will look pretty dang good compared to optical flow for this specific use case.

Hello, do you know if it will include the option of automatic captions?

[@TheEyevan]

Fcpx is long overdue for an audio mixer update. I was really looking forward to audio timline updates, and audio mixers, levels for audio roles and exporting music cue sheets and some audio updates.

[@Josh_Sattin]

Great breakdown of the new features. Thanks Matthew!

[@matthewTobrien]

Ohhhhh my pleasure, buddy. Thanks for tuning in!

[@tobiaslofi]

Renaming and dragging effects in / from the inspector I've missed very much. As it is a default feature in Premiere Pro since at least 10-15 years ... finally!

[@moosefuel]

The slow mo feature is already there, it's called Optical Flow.

[@matthewTobrien]

I have a feeling this will take that to the next level, though. Optical Flow can be a little... off sometimes.

[@AhsanZafar]

apple should feel some shame that 6 months later and a whole version later all you can do it rename layers,( which was a need for sure) but thats bare minimum

[@makemefeelweddings]

They have build FCPX to be open in the FX area, so if there's a plugin that does something, they won't release anything for that. Right now, CapCut has more AI and more interesting features than any other editor. Davinci Resolve and premiere are moving along really well, Premiere will get firefly inside. Davinci already does so much (transcribing, auto subtitles, AI powered masking). Final Cut Pro is lagging now a lot on really important features most editors are using nowadays. welcome additions on 10.8, disappointing that this is what we get.

[@plasmalabtv]

Still waiting for the day when the FCPX windows become dettachable, in order to use 3 monitors at the same time without the laggy "A/V Output"

[@tommiebennett]

Thanks for the quick video.

[@matthewTobrien]

My pleasure! I’ll follow up with more of the press release has any new info. One item I saw was they added a button to the UI to toggle Scrolling Timeline on/off 👌

[@skkver_runs]

Hurray! I’m happy and excited. Thanks

[@matthewTobrien]

Me too!

[@stevensonrf]

Hi Matthew! I have to ask? Are you going to be getting the new iPad Pro?😊

[@matthewTobrien]

Negative. I just haven’t been able to capitalize on the current one enough to warrant the purchase. I haven’t even TOUCHED FCP for iPad in probably 6 months. 😬 I want to make more content about it all but I’ve prioritized other ideas…

[@stevensonrf]

@@matthewTobrien Matthew! I am very foolish. I actually ordered the dang thing today. I’m really excited about that new multi cam app for Final Cut Pro.

[@matthewTobrien]

Can't wait to hear what you think about it!

[@criticaltinker]

on the new ipad, can we hook up a mouse?

[@matthewTobrien]

I don’t believe so. I think a mouse only works when it’s connected to a Mac and you’re using your iPad alongside it. That being said, the trackpad on the Magic Keyboard accessory does connect to the iPad and you can use the trackpad like you do on a MacBook.

[@cataloger1]

Release says that FCP for iPad will be out in the spring, but it doesn't say anything about when10.8 will be out. Does that mean it is coming out imminently?

[@matthewTobrien]

I think it’ll be early next week. I’m guessing Tuesday which is typical - FCP updates usually come out on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

[@Grindershachkin]

Sorry, but this is a very weak update. Where are the real AI functions? Text recognising. Video editing based on text. Magic mask? Separation from background without empty frame? With camera movement. Instead, effects can be renamed. Thank you Apple, a great innovative company. Chinese cap cut sometimes has more innovations than fcpx. I really love this program. I want it to become better and correspond to the modern world.

[@matthewTobrien]

I think that's going to be kind of standard for Apple when we're talking about 10.8, 10.9 ... they probably won't do something earth-shattering until FCP 11 and then after that we'll see minor-ish updates in 11.1, 11.2, etc. Let's just all remember, though... the switch to Apple Silicon was earth-shattering and we've all benefitted greatly from it. They'll get caught up with FCP but certainly not as soon as we'd all like.

[@OrigEntertainmentOfficial]

I agree with you. I have kind of given up on FCPX and we are starting to shift to Davinci. The cut page in Davinci sucks but they mentioned at their NAB announcement that they will dedicate more resources to it. I hope Davinci simply copies CapCut or FCPX. Plus add in more AI like Premiere and CapCut though Davinci already has a lot of great AI tools. Plus Davinci needs to improve their multicam. We still use FCPX for fast turnaround projects but for complex projects we are using Davinci. Davinci is much more responsive and faster to implement than FCPX. Just a note, I think Premiere has lots of innovation on the AI front but their subscription model and their bugginess makes them a no go for me.

[@bwilesuk]

That drag effects thing could be really nice

[@edjerle]

The fact that they keep skipping over simple user friendly features like ‘modular windows’ in 2024 is insane. I’m happy about the copy paste attributes though.

[@sjeditor]

i love how those that moved on from fcp, still pop in to complain about fcp updates lol! Anyways, to me, finding missing plugins in the index is HUUUGE. i just went through the process of getting a new computer and opening up an older project and trying to figure out what plugins were missing from new computer, so I could install on my new system. this would have made it so much easier to quickly find those.

[@afshinrohani]

took them some time but finally they are no longer afraid to mention FCP's name on the main-stage with pride - as oppose to always plugging PP in tandem :)

[@criticaltinker]

Any news when will this be out?

[@matthewTobrien]

“Later this spring”. I’ll be checking every Tuesday and Thurs for updates so stay tuned…

[@seecraig]

My guess since FCP has already had color enhancement and optical flow slow-mo, my hunch these are more "AIish" but they don't want to call it that. It really does look like Apple is finally pursuing "catch up" more aggressively and I suspect over the next year or two development is going to look more competitive again. Also seems that iPad Pro is beginning to compete with laptops so they're being a bit more aggressive with FCP there as well. Final Cut Camera is pushing the unique advantages of an Ecosystem for post workflows and that's a good sign. There's much more work to be done but it's truly an "I ain't dead" moment. I can be optimistic again. I really like that they're pushing the Pro Apps ecosystem again and they're motivated by iPad, Desktop integration.

[@mchammer5592]

Ugh, I feel like such a beggar, lapping up a thin puddle of a FCP update, casually tossed from Tim’s chalice.

[@DayedreamMedia]

FCPX has had optical flow for some time now. It is kind of hidden though haha. I'll be curious to see how this smooth slo mo works though.

[@matthewTobrien]

I think this will be a significant improvement on the already existing Optical Flow feature.

[@WarrenPeaceOG]

Optical flow has been around in FCP and Motion for a long, long time; even the morph transition called "Flow" is probably 5 years old. Doh! I was wrong: 9 years ago. FCP got Optical flow in 2011.😹13 years ago
