Lacking Features of Final Cut Pro 10.8: - Spatial Conform needs "Pixel Coloring Option" for "nearest neighbor", "bilinear", "cubic," "Catmull-Rom," etc, and "Apple MetalFX". Default is only bilinear and that's NOT good!!! - Each video track could have an "effect start stop" within the clip so as to not always apply the effect filter. - More Video Effects need "ease in/out, Accel, decel, Constant, etc" options in the video keyframe editor. - Adjustment Layer MUST be included as a default title in FCP, not just 3rd party. - FCP Audio Unit for noise, sine wave, PWM.... Currently a "TEST AUDIO UNIT" only for Logic. - Audio Units that Generate sound shouldn't require an existing audio file to overwrite. - Unified audio processing, eg There should be a Master audio channel and master audio chain for Audio Effects. - Better Video zoom in/out, to match the control/feel of Motion "zoom in/out" of the video.

@@dylanjohndickerson I’ve been hearing that there are a lot of random issues when you update FCP without updating to macOS Sonoma 10.7.5…

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

First tests..... 1) Outdoors, natural light, GoPro 12: Light Enhance made things worse. Not good. 2) Indoors, studio lights, Fuji XS20: Light Enhance really made the colors and lighting pop. Success. That's it, two quick tests.

[@judsonbertoch7928]

I learned from your course...If I want to try "Enhance Light and Color" - I'm not sure where to place that in the vertical stack - above or below the Rec 709? (since it covers several of the corrections/adjustments both above and below the Rec 709). Thoughts?

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Thanks again for joining! Place it after, so below. To be honest, you're better off using what you learned in the course though. You're going to be more accurate that way.

[@viajareumprazer]

Where is the curves for motion animation? Gzzz

[@dougmorato]

Why don’t you like to use adjustment layers for the FXs? Any particular reason?

[@dylanjohndickerson]

I don't like adjustment layers for grading for a number of reasons. First, the grade affects everything underneath, so all of my transitions and any effects that I have applied to clips, like mMovie Lights which is applied directly to clips, for example, get affected. Two, I often make individualized tweaks to certain clips, whether that be shape masks to isolate the viewers eyes, etc, so I end up cutting up a lot of the adjustment layers so they're just over that one clip. And that leads into the third reason I don't, if I cut down the clip, I then have to adjust the adjustment layer or it overlaps onto the following clip. It's too annoying for my workflow so for grading, I don't go that route. I go over this in my color grading masterclass 😊 www.fcpcolorgradingmasterclass.com

We need auto-trim gaps to quickly remove all the non-speaking parts of a video. We also need to be able to edit the video using the captions that SHOULD be generated (it's 2024 afterall). Maybe Apple Intelligence and OpenAI can make this happen soon.

[@woodvineandco]

Literally the only new thing I'd find helpful is the Ai slow Mo. Definitely getting tempted to move away from final cut seeing how fast the other editing programs are adding heaps of super handy Ai features.

[@dylanjohndickerson]

This update seemed to add a few things that help with speed of editing and organization and that's what makes FCP stand out over other NLEs. However I have a feeling that since the iPhone will have AI built in, FCP will see more soon.

[@PaulVanCaesbroeck]

My main issues are that "add freeze frame" still doesn't work correctly and at Apple they still don't know that Mongolian is a real language. I asked several times to add it to the language list in the captions but even in 2024 (!) it is still not added. This new version of FCP looks more like a beta version.

[@2kime]

Hi Dylan, in another tutorial you mentioned selecting 2 clips and use option T to smooth out transions. I get a tuuut and no crossfade. Also I tried adjust audiofades, crossfade, make crossfade tells me no space between clips. So nothing happens. I have 10.8 FCP. How can I fix this? My video is a day at the beach and the transions between two clips are pretty abrubt. Thank you, Frans/Bali

[@VictorAgredaJr]

Found a bug where some footage will just freeze up rendering at frame 1 if you use the new Enhance Light and Color. I created a duplicate of a project, in the dupe I added the new Enhance effect across several clips (including the first one), and it brings FCP *and* Motion to its knees. This is on a M3 Mac with a 20TB RAID 2 array, so no it's not an issue of hardware.

[@jeremy_woods]

There’s some solid gold in this update. For me it’s still insanely lacking in the audio department. I spend more time sound designing and i hate having to jump out of the program to do it. Applying a reverb effect to an audio clip only allows the reverb tail to go as long as the clip is still really stupid. I have to create a compound clip long enough to match the correct length. Dumb af.

[@donjohnsmusic3116]

Just downloaded it today and was not very impressed. Just more of Apple hype. Not one wants to put in the time to do the work. Everyone wants instant gratification. I think it’s more of the same.

[@Jimsbo]

Maybe it goes without saying, but you should also remind anyone unlucky enough to have a Mac older than 3 years that this update isn’t quite as hot. We’re just getting burnt instead. The smooth slow is for M1 or better, so those who got the top of the line iMac in late 2020 like I did can’t utilize the new features. I hope there aren’t too many people in the same unfortunate position as me, where I had the money to get it then but can’t currently afford to upgrade just because Apple keeps leaving us in the dust with relentless hardware upgrades. As a basic rule, once you’re past the period covered by Apple Care, you’re automatically covered by Apple Doesn’t Care. Funny how what’s probably the most expensive device in your home is also the one with the shortest lifespan.

In the old days, Final Cut Pro 7 and before, this was a standard feature, so good to see it finally came back. Lets the editing become more intuitive.

[@HoustonBrownPhotography]

I disagree with the drag and drop feature of the color grading. The copy and paste works fine for me and I am not dragging things across my screen. I feel this is more of an option or just another way of doing the same thing but I am not finding it to be a time saver in any sort of way.

[@dylanjohndickerson]

That’s a good point. I think this new method is ideal if the clips you’re grading are right next to each other as opposed to spread out across a large timeline. Copy and pasting likely works better for that. However I’m usually grading in sequential order so the new method works best for me. To each his own!

With AI being added to the iPhone, it's only a matter of time before it comes to FCP. FCP 11 will be the one.

I have a question why is FCPX slowdown option always 50% when actually most 60p, which most people shoot for slow-motion, is supposed to be 40% slowed down? I made a short cut but why FCPX does not have that option on the drop downs is baffling.

For those complaining about the lack of AI captioning. Given all the AI text work coming in Sequoia, we'll likely see it after that. Apple doesn't do things piecemeal to redo their work. It's going to be in the OS and at that point it'll be added to FCP as well. I think many FCP users don't understand how Apple's development path works and when features are going to be integral to their OS it's only at that point they'll be integrated to Apps. This is how Apple's development ecosystem works.

@@dylanjohndickerson loved that one 🤣🤣

[@RaffaelWagenhoff]

First ! An Automatic Caption Generator would have been great.

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Agreed. Fingers crossed for the next one 🤞

[@iamericlenz]

Have you ever been to the room-temperature room? 😂 Great video, Dylan!

Why you’re not a fan of adjustment layers I wonder?

[@dylanjohndickerson]

I don't like adjustment layers for grading for a number of reasons. First, the grade affects everything underneath, so all of my transitions and any effects that I have applied to clips, like mMovie Lights for example, get affected. Two, I often make individualized tweaks to certain clips, whether that be shape masks to isolate the viewers eyes, etc, so I end up cutting up a lot of the adjustment layers so they're just over that one clip. And that leads into the third reason I don't....if I cut down the clip, I then have to adjust the adjustment layer or it overlaps onto the following clip. It's too annoying for my workflow so for grading, I don't go that route.

@@dylanjohndickerson i like them bec i seperate them as lut, light, color etc. İf there are couple of clips on top, i get the adj layer only on top of the video i want to effect. İf it is a same day shoot, in a short video project i like them alot, I t makes color grading much faster for me. I don’t know the workflow in bigger projects though.

[@dylanjohndickerson]

@@xselfcreative To each his own my friend! Thanks for sharing your workflow.

[@michelangelotorres_filmmaker]

Transcipt and a proper color management were (and still are) on my top request list, so I'm little disappointed but I have to admit that AI slow motion is cool and the refined search tool is useful, so I wouldn't is a totally 'Not' but neither a 'Hot', I'm more in between

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Room temperature then?

[@michelangelotorres_filmmaker]

@@dylanjohndickersoncould be useful but it must be refined a little bit, let’s wait for the next update

[@Sherwin]

uodated too!!

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Thanks for watching, Sherwin! 👊🏼

[@ResizeFilms]

Great breakdown on this topic. With that said, FCP is still years behind Resolve and won’t catch up anytime soon. It’s always insignificant updates when FCP would need a totally different approach and new interface. In the end, FCP is a good and fast editing software but with major limitations for professional color grading. It’s a shame that Apple, with all the resources available, just doesn’t seem to care about professionals in this field. I switched to Resolve for some time now and honestly I don’t know why it took me so long. There’s definitely a learning curve to make it work, but it’s not even comparable. Cheers

There is not enough in this update to justify 10.8.... it should be 10.7.5, not impressed. I'm hoping that at some point we will get a 11.0 version with some solid new features.

[@dylanjohndickerson]

I disagree, but to each his own! The AI slow motion, quick copying, and ability to rename color corrections make the 10.8 label enough for me.

[@rockyninja5089]

After 7 months, this is the best they can do?

[@simoncine255]

It is Hot . Give us more tips when you find more

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Will do 👊🏼 thanks for watching!
