**Updated with every stock FCPX look***

Blackmagic Design have released five free RAW shots that were taken on their new unreleased 2.5K Cinema Camera. Our Forum readers have already started posting their grades of the footage from FCPX, so we thought why not put their results on the frontpage.

We love real life examples of work edited on FCPX, so much we actually have a Forum section that you can post your work for feedback. Nick Gregorio sent us details of his latest music video and we thought the work was worth a closer look.

We know what you are thinking - "Hasn't FCPX got built in stabilisation?' The answer is of course yes, but is has limitations. Lock & Load from Coremelt can give better results, faster.

A huge day for Apple applying for ten patents in video editing. The patents range from the FCPX GUI with a magnetic timeline and auditions right through to keying, metadata and yes there is even a mention of touchscreen editing in there.

3D text, extrudes, bevels glints, shines, textures and more - and all within Final Cut Pro X. Plugin company NewBlue has updated their plugin range for FCPX and that includes Titler Pro.

We always like to see the Final Cut Pro X ecosystem expanding, this time we welcome new plugin maker Skippor from Denmark. Two new plugins and a freebie in there too.

Apple have applied a patent for the use of 'Smart Transitions' in video editing, for use in Final Cut Pro X we would assume. What on earth are smart transitions? We take a look.

So hands up, how many editors have ever used an old style EDL? You might not have touched a CMX 3600 standard edit decision list for a while, but there's kit out there that needs a list to function. Now you can make an industry standard EDL from FCPX via XML with the new EDL-X application.

This week Apple won a patent that specifically details various collaborative media production processes. There's a lot of detail in the document too - could this be a hint of what is to come for Final Cut Pro X?

Noise Industries have updated their free static, rolling and crawling title generator Manifesto for FCPX. The plugin also works with Final Cut Pro 7, Motion and After Effects.

Two large names in the Final Cut Pro ecosystem have joined forces to release 'Carousel' a vintage looks plugin especially for FCPX. 

The popular Final Cut Pro guru has got right up to date and launched an iPhone and iPad app for training on FCPX. The downloadable app is free with more tutorials available for purchase.
