I hope they've fixed the wonky Photos tab in FCPX. On my M1 mini, it takes forever for my Photos library to appear when I click on it. It sits there for a few minutes with the little spinning icon before showing me any photos. And I wish it would default to the most recent photos rather than always starting at the beginning of my collection.
With the release of the new Final Cut Pro, expect a lot of YouTube videos entitled, "Why I Re-bought the Mac Studio Ultra After I Returned It."
Lumafusion put's antiquated iMovie to shame. Best money spent.
If they can’t get the interface right for iMovie on iPad, how would Final Cut Pro look like.If only they released final cut pro on the ipadbeen waiting for pro software on the iPad for 10 years and feels like we’re further than ever
Mental choice between fcpX or Echelon Bike...Final Cut Pro goes for $299, probably far steeper than most want to pay (especially as a lot of folks in this thread would rather use the free iMovie and complain about it’s lack of features than spending $39.00 for LumaFusion and actually editing video).
Designing such an app to be touch first would be nigh on impossible I would have thought without being heavily stripped down. And then what would be the point?If only they released final cut pro on the ipad
Given that we have iMovie and LumaFusion on iPad [which is basically a lite version of FCP], I don't see the issue. I've come to the conclusion that Apple does not value iPadOS to the same standard as MacOS. Therefore, Apple has accepted that LumaFusuion is the best option.
I don’t think “value” is the right word. Apple sees the iPad as serving a different function. They see it as fully capable of being a computer, but is not a laptop. It is a touch device, and as such, apps must be written in a certain way to make them touch friendly. Something like Final Cut Pro is an exceedingly difficult app to make touch friendly on a tiny screen. For all we know Apple has been working on a version for years, but something that complex can’t just be recompiled and be finished. The entire user interface has to be rewritten from scratch. Some features probably aren’t even possible on tiny touch screens. Too many think laptops, tablets, and desktops are just interchangeable and that everything is just as easy on one as the other.
I’m a programmer and I find it impossible to think of the two devices as the same. As a programmer, I want nothing to do with Xcode on the iPad because it would be torture to write apps in Xcode on such a tiny screen with a crappy touch keyboard that takes up half the screen. Give me dual 27” or larger monitors. You’ll say, ”just get a Magic Keyboard!” Think about it. If I absolutely had to have a keyboard and mouse to write code properly on an iPad, it’s not a tablet anymore. See why Apple can’t just slap FCP with no UI changes on an iPad and call it a day?
Now picture FCP on a tiny screen where controls have to be magnified to be finger friendly. Not so easy, is it? Everything would have to be completely redesigned from scratch. It’s going to be so different that it’s not really FCP anymore, either. It may have a lot of the same features, but it won’t be the same app.
So no, “value” is not the right word. It is simply different.
Lumafusion is the best alternativeIf only they released final cut pro on the ipad
I'm experiencing a pretty big bug since updating FCP: dropping transitions onto clips does nothing. Anybody else seeing the same?
