Spot on. I had the iWork suite in mind, when I posted before.
I have to use both Premiere Pro and FCPX for professional work. If it was up to me I'd just use FCPX. It's come a long way since it's botched release in 2011. In my opinion it's the best NLE to use if you have a mac. It's not perfect but nothing comes close to how well it performs.
Does this require you to export XML or an EDL from a project? Or can it convert a FCP7 project without any other process?
You can already AirDrop an iMovie project from iOS to the Mac. Then just FCPX, File, Import, iMovie for iOS Project.
If these updates keep coming like this I might just switch back. I've used about every NLE since 2001 (including Kron) and so far the top of the pile is still Avid (if you have the backbone and $$$ to support it) but Adobe is LAGGING behind in speed and stability. FCPX still isn't stable when working with large 4k projects with After Effects compositions but ...
Neither is Adobe! And FCPX is just STOOPID fast on any modern Mac.
It might be worth it to download the app again and cut a project or two on it.

Let's see... They kill Final Cut because they don't want to pay any highly paid support people (necessary for any software to be called "professional"). They introduce a very cheap substitute, on their App Store to download. No support of any kind, but who cares, it's cheap! Nobody uses it for any work. So slowly they decide to bring back "professional" features, still no support. Does anybody understand what Apple really is after these days? It's a complete mess

Do you mind sharing how you would bring the footage to your iPad? iTunes? iCloud? Anything?

Export an XML from the old project, drag it into sendtox and it does all the conversions.
Must be nice. To this day, I don't see why Apple kept apps for editing video and music and ditched photography. I'll never forgive Apple for the betrayal. I know it sounds silly, but I still think about that event to this day.
IF it happens I'd love to see the option to just leave the RAW on an external SSD connected via USB-C.
I'd hate to have to buy the 1TB version just get a 300-400GB project into a mobile version of FCPX.
Although, I'd love to see a version of Prelude on the iPad. A place where I can tag, keyword, sort, and rough out a project or series of projects on an iPad Pro. Maybe even prepare for a batch export until I get back to an iMac Pro.
When can we get FCP to Motion and back workflow back in? Come on Apple...
Apple stole part of my soul with that one.
Every time I see these Logic and Final Cut updates, I get triggered. It doesn't make sense Apple ditched it.
Every time I pay Adobe that $9.99, I do begrudgingly.
To be fair, Keynote has gradually gotten back some of the stuff it lost (the key one for me being the ability to paste in clean vector graphics straight from Illustrator via the clipboard) but the inspector situation remains a real drag. I can't speak to Numbers as much, but Pages is also still crippled by the same palatte-hostile "one window, many clicks" design.
The quarter-baked apps that have made their way over from iOS in Mojave (Stocks, News) are much the same: Mac users getting sloppy seconds from iOS.
No thanks. Can’t see working on a complex video project from a tablet wirh its relatively small screen. What a frustrating editing experience that would be, along with managing large numbers of clips.
Maybe enhance iMovie a bit for those working on simpler projects and wanting to use a tablet.
It’s not about specs, it’s all about hardware/software integration. That’s why it often beats more powerful computers.
I feel ya, but have you tried Capture One? It's really good.
On the whole, I'm glad Apple cares at least about Logic and Final Cut. Still, Aperture had such a great interface.
I remember people hated FCPX cuz it was too simple like iMovie, yet my twitter feed exploded over how amazing Adobe Rush is...which is basically Adobe's iMovie. I think for a lot of projects (especially on tablets) people are fine with a simple Mickey Mouse version of something, just can't be Apple that does it lol

I’m not a fan of Capture One. The UI is incredibly slow (slow as in seemingly unoptomised) and the algorithms behind things like highlight recovery were miles behind Lightroom.
And that was the main issue with Aperture. Although I loved how simple it was to organise with (unlike Lightroom, that’s a total mess) Aperture’s algorithms were terrible. Even Apple Photos isn’t a great deal improved.
As much as I dislike Adobe, they definitely have the best tech.
That all said, I’m excited to see some proper colour tools in Motion!
And Apple has no Mac Pro that anybody wants anymore, so what's the point?
Maybe they should release it for Windows 10 instead???

Tossing my hat into the "we miss aperture" lot. One of the reasons I bought my first iMac was because of Aperture. I was so happy the day I opened my brand new Intel iMac (The white model, I mean) and was finally able to install Aperture, which I had actually bough in anticipation of the new machines initial purchase.
Missing aperture here as well. My living is video, photography now usually only a hobby, so I'm lucky in that regard .
I still have huge library on a 3.1 Mac Pro I have to decide what software to move to. Tried Capture one with my Sony, but not sure
