Updates out for FCP X, Motion, Compressor, and the Pro Video Formats!

Logic had it's turn recently and the rest of the pro apps just joined the update party. Very happy to see XAVC-L. Curious about the asset management feature.

Interesting, the App Store is still sorting out the Motion update. It's showing an old update with the Open, instead of Update, button.

There we go, the Motion update straitened itself out:

This one really took me by surprise...

I can already say that the infamous bug where you could not eject media after import, is gone.

Uff.

Cool. Apparently a FX Plug "timing" bug is also fixed that affected some plugins. I never saw it but a few people are very glad it's fixed.

I'm just happy for the bug fixes in general and the addition of native XAVC-L support.

Oh ya, and we can now resize the little title text box

Alex4D weighed in on the new asset management feature: Final Cut Pro X 10.2.2 Update: Codecs and workflow

Haven't downloaded yet (on holiday) but got an email from a Chris at Apple Pro Apps telling me the request for a resizable text field box had been added. I obviously don't assume I'm alone in the request but to get back to me via email - that's excellent customer service.

The most notable change so far after loading in these updates is that switching between projects seems much faster. Often do this to copy graphics into new projects. The change is incredibly fast now. Operating on a quad core 2.8 Mac Pro.

There will need to be another update in the near future as this version is still not fully El Capitan compatible and as far as I can tell it is not utilising Metal yet either.

How is it not compatible?

There are interface graphical glitches such as the timecode has lines running through it and the text is displaced, paste attributes icons are just jaggy white blocks. And some general performance issues that need sorting in El Cap. So nothing major but these will need to be fixed when it gets released in to the wild.

Perhaps this?

Can anyone confirm the mask bugs have been addressed?

I tested it yesterday and it's fixed.

Excellent

Shame that the toggle effects shortcut is still broken. Or is that working for other people?

I got this email from Apple tonight:

"This is Michael from Apple Pro Apps. Thank you for your feedback.

Yesterday, we released a Final Cut Pro X 10.2.2 update, which includes a resizable text entry field in the Inspector. In addition, the update includes fixes for a crash that could occur when trimming clips in the timeline, a crash that could occur when replacing footage in the timeline, and an issue in which some clips will show an incorrect frame rate in the Inspector. Whenever you have a moment, please install it from the Updates tab of the Mac App Store, and report back if this solves your issue. If the update does not yet appear, please check later as your Internet service provider may take time to refresh its servers."

I saw another one to someone else where they mention the mask bugs are also fixed. I wish they would put this in the release notes.
