nice video. what camera/lens/mic did you use here? thx

Was praying to get an easier AI auto caption feature like every other editor, but these are some good steps, excited to give this update a go!

[@HerrTiSo]

Captionator got your back, pal!

[@PhillGraaf]

Same here!! Waiting for that so badly…

[@MoneyKitchen]

GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD! THEY HATE US!!!! THEY WILL ON PORPOUSE NEVER RELEASE ANYTHING WE ASK FOR! LOL sorry, so freaking frustrated. 90% of my production is for shortform and its insane that every chinese app has this but final cut just wiped their @$$ on our face as always

[@LJSNEVENTS]

Broooo this is what I was thinking. Good bye Final Cut

[@hansschutz398]

@@HerrTiSo I bought and use Captionator almost every single day for my job, but it's no comparison to Premiere's speech-to-text. Captionator is works well with the transcribing but when it comes to synchronizing the captions to the timeline it's a huge mess sometimes. Hoping for a new major update.

[@Editzilla]

cool .. hopefully they keep expanding the AI features to text based editing, captioning.

[@japantruestory]

Step 1: noticing there is a new FCPX update , Step 2: check if there is already Dylan's video regarding it. Thank you dude for best FCPX guide on YT ! period

[@reyvaz2951]

That could happen, the day someone in this company has the desire or the will to listen to its customers. I think anyone who wants a better and more professional alternative, FCP is not going to be that NLE, I've got my money on Blackmagic.

[@CookCaptures]

Wow, hearing DVD Studio Pro really brought back memories 😢 I remember using this in the original FCP Studio and spending hours making custom menus.

[@feelfreetodeviate]

Furrealz! I used to use DVD Studio Pro all the time. I worked at a school, and everyone there thought I was a magician because I could make customized menus that didn’t look like dog food. I was a popular guy, and I helped a lot of people, but then it just stopped. I mean, I still help people, just not with DVDs.

[@Yoshi_Boii]

does DVD Studio Pro work with blurays?

[@CookCaptures]

@@Yoshi_Boii back when I was using it Blu-ray didn’t even exist. Maybe the later versions of it had Blu-ray capabilities.

Some nice additions. The complete lack of captions updates still is wild considering how important they've been for a good few years now for anyone making social media content.

[@Brad_West]

The speed at which you are able to bang these videos out is ridiculous. I'm convinced you can travel through time! 😂 I was excited to learn about these new features but also that Resolve has been around for 25,000 years 😆

[@TheFinalCutBro]

FCP 11 will actually include a time warp feature. I have been using that to go back in time and make these videos.

[@ErikKerber]

Huge thank you for the warning about DVD Support! Unfortunately, I still need it due to a particular archaic situation. I'll hold off on updating until I find a solution. You saved me from a big mess!

[@dylanjohndickerson]

You smashed this, Dyl! It's an update that I'm actually pretty stoked on. Here's to hoping the next couple updates climb the ladder even more 🤘🏼

[@deareeMusic]

already using the new features, I am all about the smooth slow mo for my music videos, and I think they fixed some other stuff like pinch to zoom with the track pad is better and grabbing opacity handles is easier. Hopeful they actually keep putting work in. To me this is already a very nice upgrade

[@TheRebootr]

Thanks for consolidating the note-worthy features. Excited to test these on my next project!

Another great vid, Dylan. RIP DVDs, RIP owning our own physical media (except vinyl records).

[@ComehitherwithHeather]

Loving the excitment on your face!! Looking forward to trying out the colour grading and slow motion effects. Thanks for the info Dylan

[@PhillGraaf]

Well I'm happy they bring good updates but I'll add my hope for captions as well, and what I would absolutely love two is having two timelines of two different projects next to/underneath each other... This way you can work so much easier when you get footage from another editor that you need to add to your project.

[@adrianonsky]

I use fcpx for professional work. But I am very tempted to switch to davinci. How is it possible that premiere is bringin generative fill ai on video and apple comes with: "Great update! Now we can rename the effects!" It's upseting... They clearly want to loose this battle and they don't care about their users

[@yasinvfx]

👏👏You're absolutely right about that.

[@meyerdigitalfilm]

just wanted to share my experience as a longtime FCPX user who made the switch to DaVinci Resolve Studio a year ago. This isn't a hater rant; I genuinely loved FCPX and always looked forward to new updates. But for my needs, FCPX just isn't cutting it anymore. Text-based editing in DVR saves me 70% of the time I used to spend on interviews, and features like intelligent masking and proper audio editing are so much better. I adored the magnetic timeline in FCPX, but after getting the hang of the DVR Cutpage, I find it even more enjoyable to work with. Plus, DVR comes with so many built-in tools that I used to buy as third-party add-ons for FCPX, like Color Finale Pro 2 (which had terrible performance) or the pricey MotionVFX subscription tracker. Apple has really dropped the ball with FCPX. The latest update is just disappointing. They have all these great tools across their devices but won't integrate the best features into their software. It’s ironic that they showcase DVR performances during their MacBook launches. Sad but true.

[@ops-uk]

I bought FCP some time ago mainly as a hobby. It works very well. I then bought a Blackmagic camera and discovered their RAW did not work, even with a plugin I bought. I then bit the bullet and tried Resolve. I can't fault it. The free version seems as good as FCP. I then bought the full version (which is cheaper than FCP). I was amazed how fantastic it is . The AI features are off the chart. Import a music video and with a couple of clicks you can remove the vocals, the drums, piano etc. Colour grading is superb and much easier. I can't find an advantage with FCP. I love Apple kit. Apple software is superb but Resolve is on another level. Why not try the free version? Also, have a look at the free Blackmagic camera app for iPhone/iPad. It is fantastic and free with no paid version,

[@bwilesuk]

And yet fundamentally editing still remains faster due to the magnetic timeline. The bells and whistles on other apps are nice but not the driving force of my creativity. Doesn’t prevent me having envy.

[@hustlersplaybook]

mGenerativeFill soon to be added to cinestudio probably

[@CaptainRetriever]

I want to see real tracking & image stabilization. We shouldn’t have to flip images to do the locked on trick. FCPX works ok, but it centers the whole frame on the tracked point, sometimes I just want to track a reference point for stability.

[@postpros-e]

Love the subliminal "Subscribe" in the menu bar! 🤣 Good stuff! Hope you (n dad) are doin' well!

[@Mcabrera145]

OMFG, DVD Studio Pro, that WAS the best DVD authoring app, I loved it, and could kick ass with it! Made lots of DVD's with hidden easter eggs!

[@faheyjamestravel.]

Great video! You got a new subscriber! Cheers

[@ProCoderIO]

BONUS: Somewhere in a previous version of FCP/Compressor, the integration of "Send to Compressor" broke down and caused audio to get dropped when rendering videos. I had to import some of my most-used renderers into FCP. I submitted a bug report to Aple, and they fixed it! I upgraded both and BOOM, we're back in action for FCP-to-Compressor. Batch jobs really do the trick of offloading work from FCP.

[@mex5341]

not a huge improvs but "click and drag effects " and "enhance color " are usefull

[@VinnieCamilleriMusic]

Some great upgrades there, thanks for the heads up.

Why in times of DaVinci would I ever think about switching to FinalCut? This would be my final cut. 😊 But. Dude, if I was with FC, I would not think twice to sub to your channel. You're such a nice guy with nice and clear speech and great teaching appeal. Also, chief, you have a great taste, your colors and text elements are so nice that I couldn't stop watching just to enjoy your nice job.

[@johnprudent3216]

These all sound really awesome, particularly the attributes thing (prided myself on knowing the shortcut by heart shift+cmd+V lol). But I wish they left the DVD option. At work, we still get requests for them. But hey progress marches on lol

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Someone shared Corel's Toast! Might be worth looking into for your DVD needs if you aren't into retro tech and need a new machine to burn DVD's haha!

[@AnthonyRecenello]

really hate how apple dgaf about fcpx. most of these updates shouldve been implemented 10 years ago. how about auto-transcribe for titles? most video has subtitles now and i have to use 3rd party apps to get that. they just don't care about this app as they know it's not where most of their revenue comes from.

[@wilbertbrimm920]

so how are we going to get a product to a customer if we do a wedding are so, if there are no DVD's

[@Kirks_creations]

Hi Dylan, Future updates to Final Cut Pro should include more advanced rotoscoping features, such as precise hair cutting and AI-driven separation of face, body, and background for more effective masking and color correction. Additionally, a lightweight 3D tracker option would greatly enhance the workflow. Exporting color corrections as LUTs for use across multiple clips would be a fantastic addition. Moreover, the ability to directly import 3D assets into Final Cut Pro would significantly boost creativity and convenience, allowing for more dynamic and imaginative projects. These features would undoubtedly elevate the editing experience and open up new creative possibilities.

[@ChrisReviews.]

What we do actually need is more IA featurettes like IA green screen, IA music extension/reduction, IA subtitles (come on!)

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Wouldn't be surprised if they are in the works! Tim Cook just said it in an interview I watched a few days ago. They are never trying to be first. They are trying to be BEST. Hoping that philosophy holds true for FCP!

[@ebelleau]

@@TheFinalCutBro how about an autonatic scene detection lol like come on

[@pablomaresca]

All nice and useful updates no doubt. I hope they can simnifically make a better tracking feature. I always get not that decent results.

[@british31]

What I really want is to be able to save transitions that I made on the timeline that I use over and over again, save them to a favorites transition folder. One last little detail.

[@DaveTaylorMP]

Huh, I never used the DVD export from FCP, I just always exported a video file and used the open source "Burn" to make'em.

[@EditorMusket]

Great video! Has there ever been an FCP update where you actually had to use the backup because the FCP update corrupted your project?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Never had an update corrupt projects. But I had an update that crashed every few minutes, which I had to go back for!

[@Lmartynowa]

Thanks for the video!!! 👍

[@matthewpateofficial]

Looking forward to Autocaptions in 2030!

[@spearcy]

I still wish they would have added a speed graph for any keyframing actions. And why can't we apply optical flow to a compound clip with a speed change in FCP? In Davinci you can. In FCP, you have to export the compound clip before you can apply optical flow to a speed change.

[@ryansnydercg]

All i want is the ability to sync audio and video on the timeline instead of in the media bin. Literally the only thing holding me back form using FCP full time

[@tr3dio]

Have you tested going from Compressor Presets to create a DVD preset destination in FCP for this release?

[@realfabiocesar]

Muito bom Dylan, vou atualizar agora mesmo!! 😄

[@friedpicklezzz]

I’m waiting for: - automatic audio ducking - automated close captioning with control over style - role based audio mixer & more audio master controls I suspect some of the above might be introduced after macOS Sequoia, since they will implement Apple Intelligence with similar features so FCP will just piggyback on those.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

These would be ducking great!

[@mastermindproductions4719]

Can u please inform me which latest versions of Fcpx support to mac os monterey 12.7.6

[@chanivideo]

The 'draw mask' feature doesn't work since the 10.8 update. If i select the area with the pen tool, the Final Cut will stop working and won't be able to use any of the features. It works if you press and touch it instead of clicking with a touch on the trackpad, but it's still very slow. Does anyone know a workaround?

[@FromAverageToWarrior]

Nice upgrades but nothing outstanding for me. I wish they would integrate ReCut functionalities inside the FCP one day 🤞🏽 Thanks for the video!

[@dzughy]

Is it just me or the noise reduction effect is much better now?:) can you have a check?

[@videoeventjakarta]

Auto caption and auto audio sync from external recorder would be helpful for me.

[@DamianSwarlik]

Much more I need in Fcpx stable version. Eg when I adding some effect to timeline suddenly player stop working.

[@hustlersplaybook]

this might explain the messing up mTracking surface for vertical video!

[@amrezyofficial]

I updated my FCP but don't see the new slo-mo feature 😭

[@GrigoryStepanov]

Thanks for the video! cool update! But I'm still waiting for a simple function to display multiple footage at once. For now I’m using a third-party developer, Command Post, but it doesn’t work stably and you can’t use a computer when it’s running. As a stock videographer, I really need this. I colored a lot of clips, trimmed the beginning and end of the file and simply displayed the entire timeline track by track! It's so simple. Maybe you Dylan can tell me how to do this? I did it using a compound clip, but it’s a lot of button pressing :)

[@TheFinalCutBro]

I'm not 100% this is what you're looking for. But you can enable the "Event Viewer" which is found in your Menu Bar under Window > Show In Workspace > Event Viewer. This allows you to skim clips in your browser, while still keeping the regular view of the timeline open. Hoping that helps at least a little!

[@StuartHetzler]

some much needed updates 👍

[@elinetzer1577]

we need more keyframe control similar to what the opacity graph editor looks like!
