Im an editor that uses final cut. I make tutorials so if your ever wondering how to do a certain effect just let me know! I would really appreciate if you guys could check out my channel. I really put a lot of effort into my videos and i would really appreciate if more people watched my videos and learned from them! More videos are on the way!
I'm a noob at this but basically when I try to play my edited footage, it just plays my original footage from the Event Library on the Canvas, instead of my edited footage from the Timeline. This means I can't see how my footage looks! Also to make matters worse my Playhead has gone to shit! When I select or scroll over footage in my Timeline it doesn't show up on the Canvas...meaning I can't see what I'm doing and I can't edit!
CAn some one answer me. Will final cut pro allow me to make short films that are like, lets say star wars or the new movie chronicles.... Can i create a person throwing a car out of a bride with it? Or is that not movie editing?
nah there just to welfare to get off there ass's and go buy Motion 5... Some editors you have. They really know how to use final cut X... :S pice of advise go back to filming school LOL
Conaco Productions LLC - thank you for validating my continued dislike of Conan! =)

The purpose of FCPX is to bring up a new generation of home users who will replace professional editors in the years to come. Once again, technology is used to bust labor.
@unclethermo I agree, but the thing is, the software isn't good enough to edit professional movies. You don't understand how much time and effort is used to produce movies. The software is basically iMovie. No professional would use iMovie to edit. Apple is all about making things easy. Apple wants four year olds to know how to edit. There is no "easy" way to edit a great movie. If apple continues, soon two year olds will be flying planes.
If you feel that this video is a real critique of FCP X and it is influencing your next purchasing decision, something is wrong with you. If you didn't get it, it is supposed to be a joke. I'm sure any pro editor and Apple's FCP dev team found this skit quite funny.
I been getting used to FCPX and it is not as bad as some are saying. It seems to be the best 'one size fits all' editing package on the market. I think formatting it to feel a lot like iMovie and dropping the price will encourage amateurs to take the leap into a higher end editor. I'm not sure that is a bad thing.
Agreed... the only places still using tape are low budget regional tv stations who can buy up old tape cameras on the cheap because everyone else is switching to solid state (and more reliable) storage. Pretty much everything pro nowadays is digital files on SD, CF in the case of HD-CAM's, SSD drives or HDD's
Even the old practice of telecining feature film to tape for an offline edit is 99% defunct, with most editors now just pulling a full 2K or 4K master scan for the edit.
@JulianGerretsen Yeah. Uhm...talk to Spike network and ask them what their current tape delivery format is (as within the past week). You'll be surprised who is still using tape.
FCPX was just misadvertised as being professional software, they should have never given it the Pro name, huge mistake. Hopefully FCP 8 will be along shortly...
it is definitely a shame that the new Apple CEO.. didn't even have the decency to keep Steve Jobs picture up on the Apple site.. at least until the end of the month or year. that he died... this is similar to a Shakespearean play the king is not yet cold.. and the queen has married his brother.
@TroyTheEditor The new UI makes more sense when you look at the UI used in most OSX applications. FCP7 was using an OS9 era UI. It just needs some getting used to. People whined about OSX when it came out too saying it missed this and that from OS9, but they added things back and improved them, then added new features too. They made a nice solid foundation for the future, just like FCPX is now. It'll improve as time goes on, just give them time.
@cosmicbdog Final Cut Pro X has only been out for several months, you idiot. If you're talking about Final Cut Pro 7, then yes, it's great. As a film editor, FCPX is utter shit though.
I don't understand why everyone's being such a whiny little bitch about the new FCP, I mean it works nice for me. FCP 7 wasn't half as nice, in my opinion, but keep being a whiny bitch if you like, I'm not your boss. I love all the crybabies, really. Need a whambulance anyone?
Apple's recent Final Cut incident is so embarrassing for the company I think they'll need to provide their managers with facilities to go and hide away in caves out of shame. But if they keep on with their present attitude it will be proof we live in dangerous times.
@R1ProductionHouse Premiere Pro isn't all that popular in Hollywood. Most films are cut with Avid and Final Cut in that order. Same goes with After Effects. Most compositions and effects are made using Nuke and some still use Shake.
@TalesOfWar Not for long. I work at one of the biggest studios in the U.S and we are using AE a lot nowadays. BTW, most studios actually use Flame and Smoke :)
Don't sleep on Adobe, they are creeping up. You may be surprised by the future.
@pyrogyra72 well thats just it, its a huge lie that most Hollywood movies are edited on final cut pro, what avid programme was the entries edited on, was it the £15k version or the cheaper avid programme?
@painsey It's Avid then Final Cut in that order. Either way, whatever it's edited in, it's almost always done on a Mac, so it doesn't really matter to Apple that they're using their software or not. They make their big profit on the hardware.
hahahaha. funny i have final cut pro x and i love it but then again i used iMovie before final cut pro x and never used final cut pro 7 which people say its much better, but i love it
@alanbstard4 It is complete. Final cut X made it simpler for your Average Joe to do editing. It is not professional at all. They are testing to see if this way makes more money.
@justfilmit not according to what they've said, or at least others have said. I shall reserve judgement until I hear one way of the other if they are going to upgrade
@justfilmit The "prosumer" market is far bigger and far more lucrative than the pro market. Pro's are also notoriously adversed to change and stick to the way things have been done for years even when there's better more efficient (and cheaper) ways to do it. The future is digital, Apple see this. Look how popular RED have become in such a short time. Many films will be shot on such cameras as we go forward, and FCPX will be the editor of choice for this kind of stuff.
@divalizzous Uh, if you're a Macfag final Cut, if you have a real computer i'd say Sony Vegas, it's much easier to learn over Adobe Premiere. However, if you run 64 bit you can't save into a format in Vegas that's compatible with Adobe After Effects, while Adobe Premiere is more difficult to use, it has more functions and can easily transfer projects from Photoshop to Premiere to After Effects, ect.
@divalizzous Use what comes with your system. If it's Windows, Movie Maker, if it's a Mac, iMovie. Exhaust the capabilities of these before moving onto something bigger, better and more expensive. No use getting software you won't scratch the surface of until you need the extra power.
How about all you haters go tell apple instead of commenting on some video. If it's as bad as you say it is, write a review about on iTunes. That could actually make a difference.
it's a conspiracy. apple isn't this fucking stupid. or are they? perhaps this streak they had with the ipod, iphone, and ipad were all just luck. back to the early 90's, apple.
Final Cut Studio was the reason I purchased a Mac in the first place because I wanted the best software out there. Apple have now made me think about turning to other software when I "upgrade" because I simply don't want to downgrade to Final Cut Pro X. With so may features being dropped FCP X is not a heavyweight contender in my book any more. I think Apple got one thing right on this putting the ✗ on the end, because they certainly got it wrong this time.
@MECcyclingUK you and pro editors don't understand. Apple is not in the business of looking after a few pro editors
How many people using imovie? And DSLR & camcorders. Millions! Technology is being democratized. Apple is right here
technology is cheaper and more widely available to more people. Prosumer products like DSLR use same technology as pro kit. The Pros are coming to DSLR. Now Sony & Pana have released new cheap camcorders to fight DLSR.
@alanbstard4 Being one of the few that followed everyones advice and went to PPro CS5.5, guess what---it CRASHES like crazy!! Can't import a PSD without a crash, and I don't even get a report. lol. So overrated.
@alanbstard4 Why should the "democratisation of technology" mean that software gets worse? FCP-X isn't ready yet (bugs, as well as design issues), and Apple is losing credibility because of it. Don't forget a large number of FCP users are amateurs and semi-pros. Maybe V2 will be better, but it needs to be released soon! :-).
@TheGrumpstein oh it will be better! Amateurs are using pro gear more and more as technology and pricing brings them together
I have downloaded FCP X because I believe I know what Apple is up to, and this software will be brilliant. I admit they could have done it in a way not to upset people.
@TheGrumpstein FCPX is essentially version 1 of new software, hence the X. Apple shove an X on things that are complete rewrites. OSX for example, when it came out, had people up in arms because it didn't have features found in OS9 or older, but a few versions later people had gotten used to it and they added and improved things and we understood their logic behind the massive change, which turned out to be for the better in the long term. QuickTime X is going through that too, and now FCPX.
@alanbstard4 Imovie (Free app with a Mac) is great for everyday video editing. Final cut pro 7 is a market leader and used all over the world by Pro's and consumers alike. So where does this put final cut pro✗ ? Consumers look to the Pro market and if the Pro market migrates what will the consumer do! As for the DSLR and video, we have had video on consumer cameras for a long time but what's driving the current DSLR boom in the market is that it's better than before and the Pro's like it.
@MECcyclingUK pros don't drive the market, amateurs do, cos they are in their millions. Technology is driving pro apps& amateur apps together. Apple knows many know imovie already and FCP X will be a pro editing system based on imovie which everyone knows, so no need to learn a new system. Apple will add the pro side soon
Apple made $7billion last quarter. They know what they are doing. The market is their business. Don't listen to pro editors. Their job is to edit & STFU
@alanbstard4 Consumers drive the market- THE PEOPLE THAT SPEND MONEY- the very people that bought FCP7 - the Pro market and Pro Consumer! Apples current version FCP✗ has to developed very rapidly to retain this market.
@MECcyclingUK Most studios use the same software for years. Infact, it's common in most industries for companies to move to the current version of software only when the next one is announced and given a release date. In the graphic design field it's pretty much the norm to for example buy CS4 as Adobe announce a release date for CS5, as by this time the previous version is generally as stable and bugless (lol, bugless Adobe software) as it'll ever be. Companies don't run out to get the latest.
@TalesOfWar The features in FCP 7 are pretty extensive and allow an editor to work and change things pretty much as they want. FCP✗ has some pretty gimmicky features which would be more fitting to an upgrade for IMOVIE. In comparison FCP✗ lags well behind the competition. Apple have lost their edge in producing market leading software. You can edit using any software, it's when you want to fine tune the project that you really need all the features of Pro software and FCP✗ does not have them.
@MecCreativeStudio A lot of the features people were complaining about not being there were actually there, just in different places. Right now it isn't as feature rich as FCP7, but this is a "reboot" so to speak. It's starting from square one again. They rewrote the entire thing from the ground up to take full advantage of all the modern hardware and software features found in todays Macs, it's a solid foundation for the future. Give them a few versions and it'll be kicking ass again.
@TalesOfWar What happened to Colour, DVD Pro, Cinema Tools, Soundtrack Pro, Multi-cam editing, and a host of features too. Everyone agrees (Including you) that FCP✗ is lacking many of it's predecessor great features. If Apple are really that good why have they put an unfinished product out on the market? would you buy an unfinished house? It's not what you say you will do that count's, it's what you do! If I were making a purchase right now it would not be FCP✗ I don't trust Apple right now.
We used this as an excuse to switch to Adobe Premiere, as it is nicely integrated into the rest of the CS5 suite of Adobe Products.
On the next hardware upgrade, we'll also be able to get similar hardware from big-box brands with smaller profit margins on their products and no longer be tied to only the few items available in the Mac lineup.
Should Apple call it iMovie Pro instead of Final Cut Pro X? The interfaces are much like iMovie while Final Cut Pro interfaces are not. I've read many websites and seen many clips on YouTube about "Final Cut Pro X" causes so many confusions to many Final Cut Pro editors because they don't want to spend times, moneys, and effforts to learn and master the new software while they have been experiencing and mastering the Final Cut Pro for years. I hope Apple team will release a new Final Cut Pro 8.
Premiere CS 5.5 is the way to go. And made by the exact same company that makes After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.... It is the end of an era. Goodbye Final Cut Pro.
@applestoreapps Nope, best video editing on a Mac is Avid MC. Grab it on the Avid site for $950, and you can be safe in the knowledge that Avid won't making stupid changes to their programe, ever!
Apple doesn't make enterprise products, and they never have. Adobe being such a faithful partner with them in the 90s is the only reason Macs still have such a large present in the professional world. When will people wake up? Get Adobe products running on PCs, you can have 30-50% better performance on a PC for the same price AND get Mercury Playback Engine, which is amazing. Final Cut Pro is not even close to being as good, in the real world. Set biases aside, people.
I would be still working in Premiere if not Hollywood snobbism towards PCs in general. If Apple is going to quit on us like that, it is Avid/Premiere all the way, and - hey - I don't have to buy any more Macs!
I'm just going to wait and see. According the the FAQ on the apple website they are going to fix the XML problem, the multicam, and a bunch of other stuff. The only question is are they going to pull a dick move and charge for those updates too.......
Orwellian-Lies, surveillance, and manipulation of the past in the service of a totalitarian agenda... Yes, I'm talking about Apple. Ironic,because the 1st Mac was introduced in the 1984 ad using the allegory of the new Apple Macintosh computer to provide an inspirational creative spark that would free individuals from the overbearing control of "Big Brother"... or should we say the "Big Apple"?... Why did you lie to me Apple, I trusted you, and you back stab me like that....
I can't buy fucking final cut 7 anymore... so lameeeeeee.. i tried the trial and this thing is a piece of shit...

Many films will be shot on such cameras as we go forward, and FCPX will be the editor of choice for this kind of stuff.

@divalizzous Final Cut Pro X.. easy
judgejgamertag 6 months ago
@divalizzous Uh, if you're a Macfag final Cut, if you have a real computer i'd say Sony Vegas, it's much easier to learn over Adobe Premiere. However, if you run 64 bit you can't save into a format in Vegas that's compatible with Adobe After Effects, while Adobe Premiere is more difficult to use, it has more functions and can easily transfer projects from Photoshop to Premiere to After Effects, ect.

@divalizzous Use what comes with your system. If it's Windows, Movie Maker, if it's a Mac, iMovie. Exhaust the capabilities of these before moving onto something bigger, better and more expensive. No use getting software you won't scratch the surface of until you need the extra power.

How about all you haters go tell apple instead of commenting on some video. If it's as bad as you say it is, write a review about on iTunes. That could actually make a difference.

Final Cut Studio was the reason I purchased a Mac in the first place because I wanted the best software out there. Apple have now made me think about turning to other software when I "upgrade" because I simply don't want to downgrade to Final Cut Pro X. With so may features being dropped FCP X is not a heavyweight contender in my book any more. I think Apple got one thing right on this putting the ✗ on the end, because they certainly got it wrong this time.
MECcyclingUK 6 months ago
@MECcyclingUK you and pro editors don't understand. Apple is not in the business of looking after a few pro editors
How many people using imovie? And DSLR & camcorders. Millions! Technology is being democratized. Apple is right here
technology is cheaper and more widely available to more people. Prosumer products like DSLR use same technology as pro kit. The Pros are coming to DSLR. Now Sony & Pana have released new cheap camcorders to fight DLSR.
Apple know what they are doing

alanbstard4 6 months ago
@alanbstard4 Why should the "democratisation of technology" mean that software gets worse? FCP-X isn't ready yet (bugs, as well as design issues), and Apple is losing credibility because of it. Don't forget a large number of FCP users are amateurs and semi-pros. Maybe V2 will be better, but it needs to be released soon! :-).
TheGrumpstein 6 months ago
@TheGrumpstein oh it will be better! Amateurs are using pro gear more and more as technology and pricing brings them together
I have downloaded FCP X because I believe I know what Apple is up to, and this software will be brilliant. I admit they could have done it in a way not to upset people.
I am keeping my CS5 in case I'm wrong:D
alanbstard4 6 months ago
@TheGrumpstein FCPX is essentially version 1 of new software, hence the X. Apple shove an X on things that are complete rewrites. OSX for example, when it came out, had people up in arms because it didn't have features found in OS9 or older, but a few versions later people had gotten used to it and they added and improved things and we understood their logic behind the massive change, which turned out to be for the better in the long term. QuickTime X is going through that too, and now FCPX.
TalesOfWar 5 months ago
@alanbstard4 Imovie (Free app with a Mac) is great for everyday video editing. Final cut pro 7 is a market leader and used all over the world by Pro's and consumers alike. So where does this put final cut pro✗ ? Consumers look to the Pro market and if the Pro market migrates what will the consumer do! As for the DSLR and video, we have had video on consumer cameras for a long time but what's driving the current DSLR boom in the market is that it's better than before and the Pro's like it.
MECcyclingUK 6 months ago
@MECcyclingUK pros don't drive the market, amateurs do, cos they are in their millions. Technology is driving pro apps& amateur apps together. Apple knows many know imovie already and FCP X will be a pro editing system based on imovie which everyone knows, so no need to learn a new system. Apple will add the pro side soon
Apple made $7billion last quarter. They know what they are doing. The market is their business. Don't listen to pro editors. Their job is to edit & STFU
alanbstard4 6 months ago
@alanbstard4 Consumers drive the market- THE PEOPLE THAT SPEND MONEY- the very people that bought FCP7 - the Pro market and Pro Consumer! Apples current version FCP✗ has to developed very rapidly to retain this market.
MECcyclingUK 6 months ago
@MECcyclingUK I quite agree, and I think they will do it
alanbstard4 6 months ago
@MECcyclingUK Most studios use the same software for years. Infact, it's common in most industries for companies to move to the current version of software only when the next one is announced and given a release date. In the graphic design field it's pretty much the norm to for example buy CS4 as Adobe announce a release date for CS5, as by this time the previous version is generally as stable and bugless (lol, bugless Adobe software) as it'll ever be. Companies don't run out to get the latest.
TalesOfWar 5 months ago
@TalesOfWar The features in FCP 7 are pretty extensive and allow an editor to work and change things pretty much as they want. FCP✗ has some pretty gimmicky features which would be more fitting to an upgrade for IMOVIE. In comparison FCP✗ lags well behind the competition. Apple have lost their edge in producing market leading software. You can edit using any software, it's when you want to fine tune the project that you really need all the features of Pro software and FCP✗ does not have them.
MecCreativeStudio 5 months ago
@MecCreativeStudio A lot of the features people were complaining about not being there were actually there, just in different places. Right now it isn't as feature rich as FCP7, but this is a "reboot" so to speak. It's starting from square one again. They rewrote the entire thing from the ground up to take full advantage of all the modern hardware and software features found in todays Macs, it's a solid foundation for the future. Give them a few versions and it'll be kicking ass again.
TalesOfWar 5 months ago
@TalesOfWar What happened to Colour, DVD Pro, Cinema Tools, Soundtrack Pro, Multi-cam editing, and a host of features too. Everyone agrees (Including you) that FCP✗ is lacking many of it's predecessor great features. If Apple are really that good why have they put an unfinished product out on the market? would you buy an unfinished house? It's not what you say you will do that count's, it's what you do! If I were making a purchase right now it would not be FCP✗ I don't trust Apple right now.

We used this as an excuse to switch to Adobe Premiere, as it is nicely integrated into the rest of the CS5 suite of Adobe Products.
On the next hardware upgrade, we'll also be able to get similar hardware from big-box brands with smaller profit margins on their products and no longer be tied to only the few items available in the Mac lineup.

Should Apple call it iMovie Pro instead of Final Cut Pro X? The interfaces are much like iMovie while Final Cut Pro interfaces are not. I've read many websites and seen many clips on YouTube about "Final Cut Pro X" causes so many confusions to many Final Cut Pro editors because they don't want to spend times, moneys, and effforts to learn and master the new software while they have been experiencing and mastering the Final Cut Pro for years. I hope Apple team will release a new Final Cut Pro 8.

Apple doesn't make enterprise products, and they never have. Adobe being such a faithful partner with them in the 90s is the only reason Macs still have such a large present in the professional world. When will people wake up? Get Adobe products running on PCs, you can have 30-50% better performance on a PC for the same price AND get Mercury Playback Engine, which is amazing. Final Cut Pro is not even close to being as good, in the real world. Set biases aside, people.

I would be still working in Premiere if not Hollywood snobbism towards PCs in general. If Apple is going to quit on us like that, it is Avid/Premiere all the way, and - hey - I don't have to buy any more Macs!

Orwellian-Lies, surveillance, and manipulation of the past in the service of a totalitarian agenda... Yes, I'm talking about Apple. Ironic,because the 1st Mac was introduced in the 1984 ad using the allegory of the new Apple Macintosh computer to provide an inspirational creative spark that would free individuals from the overbearing control of "Big Brother"... or should we say the "Big Apple"?... Why did you lie to me Apple, I trusted you, and you back stab me like that....
