You are right, nothing comes too close to Final Cut Pro X on iOS apps.
However, I was impressed by Luma Fusion. Pretty darn good actually, miles away better than iMovie and some other video editing apps.
Got a tip for us?

Included with the many new cool features. They love bashing at Cupertino.

The interface admittedly takes some getting used to, but it isn't slow (at least for me) and highly customizable. They added more hardware accelerated features some versions ago. But yes, it's not an Apple interface. Unfortunately I very much dislike the Lightroom UI.
For me, the main feature of Capture One is the RAW conversion quality. They have individually optimized import profiles for almost any camera sensor and IMHO nothing comes close. I haven't extensively used Lightroom for quite a while, so they may well be ahead in some algorithms, but not in the RAW conversion. I'm just getting the edit done so quickly.
The downside of a solution like Capture One is they are not really a DAM for organizing pics. I loved the integrated views of Aperture for editing as well as structuring photos. Also for its time the brushes were really the best.
What took 6 years to happen? It's not the first update to FCPX.
Have the features brought by the 10.4.4 update been present in competing apps for 6 years?
Have people been asking Apple to implement those precise features for 6 years?
Have Apple promised they would bring those features back in 2012?
Assuming by professionals you mean people paid to create videos: Yes. They might not be Hollywood movies (although Whiskey Tango FoxTrot and Focus were both cut on it!) but a lot of single shops (myself included) use it and its blasting fast for it. The latest integration with Frame IO is amazing and will change the way I work.
Its also got a quite a bit of traction within BBC News with one of the regular Newsnight producers regularly posting his FCP X timelines on Twitter.
It would be a smart movie on Apple's part, for I learned After Effects in a couple of Motion Graphics courses I took in college and it was real easy switching back and forth from Premiere. The way Apple has Motion Graphics is a little clunky and awkward. I say let the user decide what should be down with with the clip AFTER it's is imported to FCPX. I don't understand the audio portion of Apple Motion, for it seems a little backwards to me.
Motion Graphics isn't as good as After Effects, but it's pretty solid.
I’ll say one thing for Keynote, my band took a leap of faith on using it for our entire video projection/backing track audio solution on an old iPhone 6S Plus....and a year’s worth of shows later, it hasn’t failed us yet. I can’t believe how well a 7GB keynote file can work smoothly on an iPhone plugged into an hdmi adapter, but it does. Nice work Apple.
Yeah, it's completely badass software and PowerPoint can't touch it -- believe me, I've tried at my old job to get PPT to turn out good results and it's a losing battle. All my complaining is about Keynote's UI and ease of use at this point, not the final product, which is awesome.
Keynote is a smart way to package up media for live entertainment like that. I can't tell you how many times I've been to some performance and seen a projector get fired up only to watch someone's entire desktop come into view for everyone to see, then watch them manually click on the video or whatever they're showing. It looks so cheesy, even assuming you don't catch a glimpse of whatever crap they have in their dock or spread out across the desktop. If you just embed all that into Keynote slides, it's so much more smooth and professional for the audience.
Yeah performance wise FCPX is the clear winner. I'm switching over to Resolve, but used FCPX the other day to build a slideshow since it's still makes certain things extremely easy.
I would never update in between a project. Denver Riddle said not to update yet but a new version coming out in a week.
I work for a small production house which is also a small distribution agency. I use compressor extensively when making different versions of films for different clients (broadcast, DVD sales, online VOD). I have a RAID5 TB2 drive with all the master files connected to my old Macbook Pro and compressor installed on all the macs in the office, while they are connected to each other via gigabit ethernet. Usually orders come in batches and I just create a new batch on compressor with multiple films and outputs and using the qmaster functionality I utilise all the hardware from all the macs in the network (14 cores ) for super fast conversions that's really easy to set up.
I also use compressor when I need to export a film from FCPX but I need to use it at the same time for something else, by using the "send to compressor" option inside FCPX.
Generally its a very sweet and easy product, although when something goes wrong, good luck fixing it. But that's very rare now.
No we don't. We just need to keep enhancing it and allow for a scaled down remote on the iPad.
Shake? Really? Maybe you can find an old copy somewhere and run it on ancient hardware. I am pretty sure Motion is as far as you can get from Apple.
