This update has appeared only weeks before the expected launch of OS X 10.11. Maybe during a presentation at the FCPWORKS/Soho Editors FCP E XPO… OS X El Capitan compatibility? Perhaps we’ll learn more after product announcements at IBC soon. Looks like this isn’t designed for users to be able to do from within the normal Final Cut interface yet. Some users are more comfortable with library. Part of this feature is a settings file inside Final Cut that third-party applications can use to make libraries using Final Cut. An IBC-friendly updateĪs well as better 4K camera compatibility, a feature seems designed to support developers presenting at next week’s IBC show in Amsterdam:
For now the Canon XF-AVC software hasn’t been udated. Looks like for media compatibility, you need to check if there is any other software you need to update. And, before today you could not mix HD and 4K on the same card, but I assume this limitation is no longer the case – although that’s an assumption, have not tested it. However, if you have 4K clips that were shot by a 2.0 firmware upgraded camera, those now magically work with 10.2.2. Note that the memory card must also be reformatted in-camera after the firmware update. The last FCPX update fixed this for HD – today’s update fixes it for 4K. The 2.0 firmware for the camera is required, and once applied you must reformat the SDXC card in-camera, then record new clips. There is a slight wrinkle for those dealing with media from the Sony X70. Runtime bug in FxPlug effects & transitions used in secondary storylines fixed in #FCPX 10.2.2 /ftOiIwpEJb Peter Wiggins reported on Twitter that some plugins that have been broken since the 10.2 update now work: Improves audio and video sync of closed captions and subtitlesįor many Final Cut users, the biggest news with this update is that the text entry field titles is now resizable:.Restores the ability to use markers for i-frame placement in H.264 exports.Fixes a crash that could occur after migrating a user account to another system.Motion 5.2.2’s note lists a subset of the Final Cut features.

One more thing.I learned on pc, then Mac, bought PCs because they were cheaper, but then went to Mac when I left office life for more creative pursuits.been on Mac alone since 2015. If you want to get deeper without Adobe, I also rec. As mentioned, The photos app will cover your basics. So if your dad already has it, you could just use his. You can use the adobe subscription/log in to add it to any machine, Mac or pc. I will say I use Final cut and motion and Logic Pro a LOT but I also use Adobe for client work when I have to. Tons of tuts all over YouTube that can get you up to speed. You can make your own titles, plug ins, effects, etc that you can use directly in FCP. After effects has some tools Motion doesn't, but for most of your needs, Motion will cover it AND Motion works with final cut in a way adobe just does not. Adobe is the "industry standard" so there is benefit to learning it properly if you are going to work in that area. It is a great deal on the price and they are yours forever.
My suggestion is for the Apple Pro Apps, education bundle.
