We finish in ProRes all the time. I love it as a codec. I'd prefer a ubiquitous RAW format to 37 flavors from different cameras. If it came in natively and performed well. I'd happily use it. But I couldn't see ever converting to it at the start of a job as a workflow unless it runs so light that there were no performance issues. I'm typically in Premiere so I'd be curious to see how it runs there.
Got a tip for us?

Aperture never went away. It was End of Lifed, sure. But still works fine on Hign Sierra.
I hated the the way lightroom worked and tried to move over to it a bunch of times, but always got frustrated and went back to Aperture. Until... the revamped Lightroom CC came out before Xmas. Written from the ground up with an all new interface I actually like it. Paying monthly sucks. But I’m really enjoying it and aperture is finally deleted. It’s great having a backup of my library in the cloud too.
Your mileage may vary of course, but worth looking into.
It would be especially wonderful if it would fix corrupted clips that are already in the timeline. I am pretty far along on a project and these little corruptions keep popping up. PITA to fix. But just fixing it for future would be good, too.
Wait... closed captions? You mean it's only now coming to FCP? I could have sworn it was there before.
(Unless I'm confusing FCP with Compressor...)

Holy crap! I work at a film production company and captions are a bane on my life there. I really hope this makes it easier cause they are a pain in the ass to deal with.

You could edit and export but they were a pain to work with.
One thing I can’t tell from the announcement and white paper: will it be possible to transcode existing raw files such as Redcode Raw to ProRes Raw? Or does it have to be recorded in Redcode Raw in the camera or recorder? Given the apparent performance advantages of ProRes Raw, I would love to be able to transcode existing projects shot in r3d!
Adding CC is really exciting. The accepted commercial captions apps for Mac are all crappy and overpriced.
Interesting. Thanks for the information. I only work on FCPX just as a hobby so please forgive my ignorance about this.
CaptureOne has really predatory upgrade pricing. I was stupid enough to buy their Sony Pro package for v10. A few months later v11 came up. No upgrade pricing at all.
I'd recommend Iridient Digital for Canon, Nikon and Fuji sensors. Iridient Digital struggles a bit with Sony colour (so do most photographers!) hence my interest in an alternative engine. I might release some Sony camera profiles for Iridient Digital if I find time.
