Current workflow plan is offload cards to our Jellyfish server using @hedgeforvideo, and then just drag the media into #FCPX but if I need to take any additional steps I’d love to know in advance.
My work would be impossible without Intelligent Assistance's Sync&Link X. Kinda sad #FCPX relies upon 3rd parties for "pro" features such as batch multicam sync and AAF export, on the other hand FCPX cost me $299 in 2012 and that's it.
I’ve just batch renamed a bunch on clips in the Finder while #FCPX was open in the background and files are still online. I even restarted the app to make sure it was persistent. Solid!
Another reason to not use #FCPX import window:
If you import to several new events, the flexolibrary file doesn’t get updated until you close the window so if the app crashes or you force quit, all import is gone as the new events are not registered in it.
#FCPX likes "displays have separate Spaces" to be enabled, #adobepremiere likes that to be disabled. If you use both, you're SOL
It's been the case for over a decade, unfixed.
great tip!!!!
I refer folks to this video from Ripple Training about updating #FCPX - it applies to any version update.
#FCP ProTip™
Before upgrading FCP, duplicate your application and rename it with the version #. THEN compress a .zip for archiving, but leave the renamed copy.
Leaving the app allows for a right-click “Open with” menu that allows you to choose which version of FCP you need.
Optional: Drop it into a folder called “Old FCP Versions” to tidy-up the Applications folder.
Bonus: Tag older, key libraries with the FCP version you created it with. You know which FCP version to choose.
I didn't update the last update because I was hearing folks say there was issues with it. I'm anxious to see more reports on this #FCPX update
I hope i'm not jumping the gun here, but dare I say it... #fcp 10.6.8 is quite snappy, especially with Audio Unit effects applied. My audio waveforms have NEVER rendered this quickly.
I hope this isn't a fluke result.
Fun fact: this checkmark doesn't actually do anything. You can't copy/paste retiming in #FCPX.
@latenite #FCPX 10.6.7: when using dual screens, adjusting transform on an upper layer makes the viewer jump to a completely different part of the timeline. Right now, trying to scale a logo over a solid, and it jumps (shows) to an unrelated (always the same) clip. Doesn't happen with single screen. M1 MBP with LG 4k via USB-C.

Marker Toolbox v1.3.0 is finally on the Mac App Store!
Import Timecode+ TSV format.
Export Avid Media Composer Marker Text files.
Jesus Christ, #FCPX STILL cannot read timecode from some Sony cameras. Premiere sees it without any issue.
I can tell a video was edited in #fcpx because of that telltale S-shaped zoom-in when FCPX lets you ease Position but not Scale 😉 not fixed since 2011
