One of the advantages of FCPX being built using databases is the fact that other apps can easily get access to the data. That's exactly what the new application Producer's Best Friend from Assisted Editing does when loading timeline or event information into Excel.

As I was making some final edits to a 10-minute long video project, an ad for the new Hawaiki AutoGrade color correction plug-in for Final Cut Pro X (Through Noise Industries FXFactory for $29.00) popped up in my Facebook feed. Normally, I just ignore these FB ads, but this one received my full attention.

It has come as a massive surprise to users of red cameras as it has always been a much requested feature but the official line has always been that GPU cards were just not very good at handling the debayering and wavelet technology that is involved in working with red footage. Well this has all suddenly changed, with a new version of REDCINE-X that supports graphics card technology to take the load off the computers CPU

With echoes of Monty Python in the background, two years on, Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Studio are still widely in use. As I noted in my post from last November, I still see facilities with firmly entrenched and mature FCP "legacy" workflows that haven't moved to another NLE yet.

A container, like a glass containing liquid. That glass would be the metadata and the liquid in that glass would be the essence. I want to replace low quality liquid with high quality uncompressed master resolution liquid. Using the Resolve and Avid Symphony I can end up with an uncompressed .mxf file with embedded “Tape” name metadata created from the best known masters also known as RED, ALEXA, 5D, 7D, GoPro, P2, Phantom, Sequential Files, Tape, etc.
