But I only use it to edit personal videos for family and a couple facebook friends. Videos of like .. my cats lol, not a big audience and either way - I refuse to touch tiktok. Never knew tiktok owned it. Thanks for letting me know cause I'm definitely deleting it now lol Why is it so hard to find a free app that will let me mirror the images, crop, add text etc.. without watermarks everywhere

I think adobe is really popular because they were the first to do the stuff. For instance, almost all pro artists and painters use photoshop but that is because photoshop was the only tool available at the time. Now we have more dedicated apps for painting like Clip Studio Paint for comics and manga that has many useful features for painting like rulers, realistic painting brushes, shapes, blending brushes, color mixing and more which Photoshop doesn't have. Affinity Photo for photo editing and other software that are dedicated to specific task. I think Premiere will die but Photoshop will get a big hit too. On the other hand, illustrator, indesign and after effects are still the best software available and the consumer base is using them for their specific tasks. Not like photoshop that has consumer base that is using it for many different purposes like concept art or 2D animation or photo bashing to make art. Canva will definitely steal the consumer base that is using photoshop for social media posts especially since they bought Affinity. Competitors are rising for these specific tasks and one day Photoshop will get a hit sooner or later. It might die out because it is still the best software for photo editing but it will lose most of the consumer base that are not using it just for photo editing or that photo editing is not the major aspect of their work.

When you look at the terms and conditions of CapCut and Premiere Pro which use AI, they attempt to have complete control and ownership of your content. It is very contentious, and despite the initial appeal of AI, I would rather FCP focus more on updating and incorporating some of the tools that are now part of Adobe such as remixing music to match the length of the clip or autogenerating text, which are not AI generative tools.

I was bad-mouthing Apple's treatment of FCP and Steve Martin intimated that he'd seen some things and I was crazy. Related: Apple added cool and magical Ai features to the OS and nobody even MENTIONED it! What's THAT about? I like being able to select text in images and videos. It feels magical. And it's handy. (This is not Apple, but I also love the ability to transcribe anything at will locally with MacWhisper. Transcriptions have become disposable!) The other magic thing is instant background removal from any image, ie. Copy Subject. I don't practically use this much, but I like to watch the Cutout animation in 'aware' apps, like Photos or Preview.😹 In any case, if Apple is soon to release private, local, system-level Ai, plus what Steve Martin didn't say, I am more hopeful about FCP - tho it matters less as MacWhisper has taken on much of the heavy lifting. Great discussion. I broadly agree with @seecraig

FCP is way easier to use than Resolve. Just do a right click everywhere and see how many options you have in FCP and how many you have in Resolve. Look how many color management options you have in Resolve and how many you have in FCP. And that applies to the rest of the software: color grading, audio tools, etc. The only "complicated" thing in FCP is that if you come from a "traditional" track based NLE, you will need to spend some time to get used to the magnetic timeline. The rest is way easier in FCP. I've been teaching both softwares since more than a decade and I can tell you that all the students agree with that.

The update Apple has given FCPX over the last 10 years should have been done in 1 year. Apple start great apps, but then basically ignore them. It's almost like they think they've created something of genius. I agree FCPX could and SHOULD be several levels above what it is. It's really not a big ask. Look what they did with Aperture. They had a great product but ignored it. It could have and should have been many levels above Photos. FCP for iPad has opportunities but it already looks like they are ignoring it, its not even on par with once off $30 apps AND why oh why is it called FCP, its nothing like FCPX for Mac. This is Apple now though, all they do is play catch up. FCP for iPad should have been released so many years before. I am fully embedded in the Apple eco, but for the sake of love Apple, 1/ Innovate again 2/ Update your Apps (properly)
@TimelyAdventure10 күн бұрын
Interesting perspective, seems like FCP is a few features and compatibility layers away from being fully professional without having to rely on indie plugins. In a way, that's who's more invested in FCP, pros, and who wants those features. Younger amateurs don't seem to care as much, they'd rather use Capcut and then maybe Premiere. It'd be nice if Apple just made creating stuff easier and possible through feature updates, needed to switch to DaVinci myself for expanded capabilities without having to spend hundreds on plugins for FCP. Maybe there'd be like a mobile and iPad version geared toward social media stuff, and a fully pro version for Macs. I'm honestly considering reverting to Windows (on arm) because FCP was what really clinched me to the Apple ecosystem in the first place, and now I'm really not seeing as many advantages to help me make what I want and to get the high refresh oled screen with way more ram to help me run DaVinci and maybe Affinity photo better at a much cheaper price when money is tight and this MacBook Air m1 with 8gb is not really as powerful as I'd like, it's tough to justify sticking with Apple. Hopefully it's a strong WWDC.

They're different tools for different things. FCP is an NLE. Resolve is actually at least 4 tools: NLE, colour, VFX, DAW. FCP works more like film editing than the traditional NLEs (Premier, Resolve, Avid, etc) which are based more on video editing. They are less non-linear. Of course, transcript-based editing is an enormous non-linear advance: you can see text at a glance, which is superior to being locked into sequential, linear time listening to audio. Resolve has begun development. FCP started early and well with plugins, but didn't natively develop transcription-based editing at all
@NakovGoce9 күн бұрын
@@WarrenPeaceOG FCP and DaVinci are both NLE’s. So no, they are not different tools. The thing that Black Magic decided to combine editing, compositing and VFX, and audio post-production in to one software that has different tabs/pages does not mean it is not NLE. We can debate if transcript based editing which in DaVinci is far from perfect so I need to go over the timeline again and fine tune it or embrace the speed of Final Cut Pro and just listen and trim edit is something we can do. For me….I can do the cleaning of A-Roll much faster in FCP instead using text based editing inside DaVinci.

In the last year there came with 10.6.6, 10.7 and now 10.8 as well as the iPad Version plus a new app called Final Cut Camera. Why would they do all that to kill it then fast. I think they worked a lot on the Ipad Version and now that this platform is working for now, they have resources for the Mac Version. Logic went from 10.8 to the 11 Version. I think the same will happen with FCP this fall at the next Creative Summit. A Final Cut 11 with again a few new features…

You're mostly right but I think your nomenclature is wrong. Social Media Advertising and Marketing is big business. In fact, a lot of advertising dollars have shifted. Rather than compete in old and more or less stagnant business markets go after the fastest-growing new businesses market. BTW I've recently heard that about 4 million Content Creators (2 million of them on KZread alone are making over $100,000 a year). This is a new and growing editorial business. Also consider why Apple is promoting FCP for iPad (and iPad Pro now has an M4 chip) in a market that already has BMD Resolve, Adob Rush, Luma Fusion, and, of course, CapCut). iPad adding Thunderbolt to SSD recording/playback and the move of the built-in camera as well. iPad may well be an alternative laptop within the next couple of years. There's more to say on this but I think Apple has assessed the market and as Wayne Gretzky said and Apple is heeding "Skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been." This is not a "consumer" niche though. It's the new professional.

Related: Apple added cool and magical Ai features to the OS and nobody even MENTIONED it! What's THAT about? I like being able to select text in images and videos. It feels magical. And it's handy. (This is not Apple, but I also love the ability to transcribe anything at will locally with MacWhisper. Transcriptions have become disposable!) The other magic thing is instant background removal from any image, ie. Copy Subject. I don't practically use this much, but I like to watch the Cutout animation in 'aware' apps, like Photos or Preview.😹 In any case, if Apple is soon to release private, local, system-level Ai, plus what Steve Martin didn't say, I am more hopeful about FCP - tho it matters less as MacWhisper has taken on much of the heavy lifting. Great discussion. I broadly agree with @seecraig
I don’t know about them turning Shake into Motion. They are completely different tools. Motion is more of an After Effects competitor whereas Shake was more of Resolve competitor at that time. I wish Apple would have made the treeーbased compositing part of FCP. They still could, if they actually wanted to compete with Resolve but it’s not looking good.
Final Cut is NOT easy to use compared even to Resolve.
FCP is way easier to use than Resolve. Just do a right click everywhere and see how many options you have in FCP and how many you have in Resolve. Look how many color management options you have in Resolve and how many you have in FCP. And that applies to the rest of the software: color grading, audio tools, etc. The only "complicated" thing in FCP is that if you come from a "traditional" track based NLE, you will need to spend some time to get used to the magnetic timeline. The rest is way easier in FCP. I've been teaching both softwares since more than a decade and I can tell you that all the students agree with that.
@@motionfxes "if you come from a "traditional" track based NLE, you will need to spend some time…" That is the issue, I know how to work with Premiere, anyone does, and with Resolve ir required a day to understand the GUI, but with FCP, there are so many things missing, and the GUI isn't intuitive at all, I can handle it, but I truly don't like it.
I really don't understand why Apple dont buy Capcut and the Affinity software. When you go to buy a Mac have it ready loaded. But maybe they will be skirting with a Monopoly charge if they do that.
Because CapCut steals info from you
The update Apple has given FCPX over the last 10 years should have been done in 1 year. Apple start great apps, but then basically ignore them. It's almost like they think they've created something of genius. I agree FCPX could and SHOULD be several levels above what it is. It's really not a big ask. Look what they did with Aperture. They had a great product but ignored it. It could have and should have been many levels above Photos. FCP for iPad has opportunities but it already looks like they are ignoring it, its not even on par with once off $30 apps AND why oh why is it called FCP, its nothing like FCPX for Mac. This is Apple now though, all they do is play catch up. FCP for iPad should have been released so many years before. I am fully embedded in the Apple eco, but for the sake of love Apple, 1/ Innovate again 2/ Update your Apps (properly)
Interesting perspective, seems like FCP is a few features and compatibility layers away from being fully professional without having to rely on indie plugins. In a way, that's who's more invested in FCP, pros, and who wants those features. Younger amateurs don't seem to care as much, they'd rather use Capcut and then maybe Premiere. It'd be nice if Apple just made creating stuff easier and possible through feature updates, needed to switch to DaVinci myself for expanded capabilities without having to spend hundreds on plugins for FCP. Maybe there'd be like a mobile and iPad version geared toward social media stuff, and a fully pro version for Macs. I'm honestly considering reverting to Windows (on arm) because FCP was what really clinched me to the Apple ecosystem in the first place, and now I'm really not seeing as many advantages to help me make what I want and to get the high refresh oled screen with way more ram to help me run DaVinci and maybe Affinity photo better at a much cheaper price when money is tight and this MacBook Air m1 with 8gb is not really as powerful as I'd like, it's tough to justify sticking with Apple. Hopefully it's a strong WWDC.
You’re out of your mind… Da Vinci resolve blows final cut out of the water in every possible way!
Not in every way, the browser is a lot better in Final Cut, also the Editing is the fastest and most uncomplicated of them all. In those 2 things it shines very bright, but I agree that in almost all other ways davinci kicks Final Cuts ass
It is robust, clunky and requires extra steps to achieve something simple. If you are let’s say freelance editor which does not work and need to work in big teams there is no better, more intuitive and faster editing software then FCP.
They're different tools for different things. FCP is an NLE. Resolve is actually at least 4 tools: NLE, colour, VFX, DAW. FCP works more like film editing than the traditional NLEs (Premier, Resolve, Avid, etc) which are based more on video editing. They are less non-linear. Of course, transcript-based editing is an enormous non-linear advance: you can see text at a glance, which is superior to being locked into sequential, linear time listening to audio. Resolve has begun development. FCP started early and well with plugins, but didn't natively develop transcription-based editing at all
@@WarrenPeaceOG FCP and DaVinci are both NLE’s. So no, they are not different tools. The thing that Black Magic decided to combine editing, compositing and VFX, and audio post-production in to one software that has different tabs/pages does not mean it is not NLE. We can debate if transcript based editing which in DaVinci is far from perfect so I need to go over the timeline again and fine tune it or embrace the speed of Final Cut Pro and just listen and trim edit is something we can do. For me….I can do the cleaning of A-Roll much faster in FCP instead using text based editing inside DaVinci.
CapCut isn’t going to get banned. It’s selling off TikTok is the law that was passed.
I could see Apple just buying out CapCut because they're trying to ban it here in the US along with TikTok and DJI LMAO! It would be so easy for them to build on top of whats already been built in CapCut since they can't seem to do it with FCPX
Not really Apple's MO, plus a ban seems unlikely to me. But what do I know?
I really suspect FCP is about to be end of life'd, more than 5 weeks since they announced 10.8, it had not been published... The fact that the hardware and software are out of sync with each other..FCP is dead soon..
I dont think so. At the creative summit they said they have plans for FCP for several years. In the last year there came with 10.6.6, 10.7 and now 10.8 as well as the iPad Version plus a new app called Final Cut Camera. Why would they do all that to kill it then fast. I think they worked a lot on the Ipad Version and now that this platform is working for now, they have resources for the Mac Version. Logic went from 10.8 to the 11 Version. I think the same will happen with FCP this fall at the next Creative Summit. A Final Cut 11 with again a few new features…
You're mostly right but I think your nomenclature is wrong. Social Media Advertising and Marketing is big business. In fact, a lot of advertising dollars have shifted. Rather than compete in old and more or less stagnant business markets go after the fastest-growing new businesses market. BTW I've recently heard that about 4 million Content Creators (2 million of them on KZread alone are making over $100,000 a year). This is a new and growing editorial business. Also consider why Apple is promoting FCP for iPad (and iPad Pro now has an M4 chip) in a market that already has BMD Resolve, Adob Rush, Luma Fusion, and, of course, CapCut). iPad adding Thunderbolt to SSD recording/playback and the move of the built-in camera as well. iPad may well be an alternative laptop within the next couple of years. There's more to say on this but I think Apple has assessed the market and as Wayne Gretzky said and Apple is heeding "Skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been." This is not a "consumer" niche though. It's the new professional.
