If I could 'like' this 100x, I would. By far my favorite app Apple has ever created and favorite app period! Even after all this time, nothing available now feels as good to me.

Apple Adds New Features to Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Motion, Compressor, and Logic Pro

Aperture was brought up at a Q&A with Apple staff on the FCP team at the Final Cut Pro Creative Summit, and they said explicitly that FCP will not be discontinued like Aperture, it won’t happen.

Lower entry price point for non-pros. They don't have to pay $300 up front. $5/month is pretty easy to swing if it's not your livelihood.
Logic is not in the same situation as Aperture at all. Logic is produced in Germany, last time I checked, and has a dedicated team working on it that originated from emagic. Music is a different field completely. There is constant new features being added etc. Apple learned a lot from the FCPX intro and the killing of Aperture. The Logic team made sure that none of that happened on their side of things when Logic Pro X shipped and no one wants to repeat that either.
Apple had guts to do it (fcpx) but it needed more time in the oven before releasing as a final product. Maybe a Beta until 10.1 or 10.2 would have solved a ton of perception issues, along with continuing to sell and support FCP Studio for a few years after. That was the actual issue, the way it was launched as if version 8 shipped instead of X cutting off of version 7 which is not what was going out the door.
Same here!
If I was CEO or somewhere else of importance at Apple, that would be something I would do right away, dust off what was Version 4, update it for 2024 and ship it out. It would also be able to import Version 3 Libraries with everything the way you had it etc.
I am running aperture on my m3 with retroactive … he still has a choice to use it. And if he hates lightroom so much, there’s always capture one or raw power.
No
Since FCPx, the entire program is a single window and if you want various sections on a secondary display you must choose that in the program.
My issue is that there is now way to choose which display is secondary in a scenario with more than two displays.
What do you mean? I always export 4K 60 fps

Which in Apple parlance, means "It won't happen today". Staff have no idea what management is going to do. They could strike another deal with Adobe and bang its gone. Apple has no perseverance for user functionality. In fact, I think it is a distinct possibility that Apple hates its users. At least in everything except the revenue stream.
how do you do that please? show me . i've just tried and im unable to have 60fps unless i use 1080p
Its because your project/event/library settings dont match the clip.
For more years than I can count I have been updating a student bundle that gave me Logic, Motion, Compressor, and FCPX for $200

Excellent ideas and proposal sir! You think of options I hadn't, and they're all forward thinking, making use of tech that simply wasn't there when Aperture launched.
Apple today released updates for its Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Motion, Compressor, and Logic Pro software, introducing new features and optimizations. Apple announced the Final Cut Pro updates for iPad and Mac earlier this month and has now launched them.
Final Cut Pro on the Mac has been updated with organizational refinements like automatic timeline scrolling. Users will be able to keep their clips in view during playback, with the view able to be adjusted using keyboard shortcuts or the Zoom option.
The organization of the timeline is viewable at a glance, and it is easier to differentiate clips by assigned role using distinct colors. Apple also added tools for cleaning up complex timeline sections and fine tuning edits by combining overlapping connected clips into a single connected storyline.
On Apple silicon Macs, exporting projects in H.264 and HEVC is faster than before as Final Cut Pro is able to send video segments to available media engines for simultaneous processing.
On the iPad, the updated version of Final Cut Pro includes voiceover capabilities that let creators record narration and audio directly into the timeline with the iPad. In pro camera mode, stabilization now improves shaky footage for smoother video, and there are new options for combining connected clips. Editing is being sped up through new keyboard shortcuts for voiceover and grouping clips, plus there are new color-grading presets and titles.
iMovie and Compressor include the same file exporting optimizations on M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2 Max, M2 Ultra, and M3 Max machines. iMovie also includes new options for creating stereoscopic packages for the iTunes Store, and support for JSON and XML when batch exporting submissions using the command line.
Motion has improvements to the Object Tracker on Macs with Apple silicon, and for Logic Pro, Apple has added bug fixes.
Final Cut Pro for Mac is priced at $300, and Final Cut Pro for iPad is priced at $4.99 per month or $49 per year. Compressor and Motion for Mac are priced at $50 each, Logic Pro is $200, and iMovie is free.

’new features’? Sure, like FCP breaks things (just like their OS) if you use other pro devices & 3rd party sw in any kind of production situation. In this case with FCPX, it now can no longer use a BM Decklink graphics card; broken. What BS. Fortunately I no longer have to depend on this rubbish & mostly use DaVinci Resolve Studio.
No idea about Logic, don’t care. Using Steinberg Nuendo, Pro Tools etc.

Yup, another DaVinci Resolve user here…
Actually I have two editors, Avid Media Composer and Resolve. I stopped updating composer when they tried to make it look like Resolve. Actually for critical editing I still prefer Avid, but Resolve is the future.
But Avid still has better multi user media management, so I still see Avid and Resolve around for awhile - in the professional sphere; Final Cut and Premiere Pro and Vegas and the like, not so much…
This is a shame as I was always envious of the original Final Cut for indie work. Making titles and rolling credits was in another universe with Final Cut as opposed to Avid. How the mighty have fallen…
I'm on sonoma. The issues have only been on here, ventura was fine for me. In fact, the issues occurred after sonoma was released publicly, the beta worked fine.
is media composer really good? Gotta try it. FCP is dumpster juice. Still a Premiere Pro fan... I never have to issue other ppl have. Guess I'm just lucky.
Forgive the thread bump, but did anyone notice one of the recent versions of iMovie added an adjustment slider for video effects? Now you can control the intensity of a video filter or effect, compared to past versions (since iMovie '09 first added such video effects).
Of course you don't get various effect perimeters like in iMovie 3 to HD 6, or keyframe control like in Final Cut Pro, but this is definitely a good thing for beginners or anyone making fairly simple video projects, giving them a little more control over yet another aspect of their movie.
