Waiting on 10.2.4 and 10.3

As it is, the mouse is needed *way* too much for working with clips on the timeline, and why, oh why, can I only get a 2-up view when using the trim tool with the mouse, and not keyboard

Agree on the 2-up issue... and it would be nice to have more UI customisation options across the board...

Apple if you are reading this...the 2 up without the mouse, please!!!!!!
And and please please please, make the app fill the screen, not leave a pixel width all around, very annoying...and can we please please have the ability to save UI set ups...The only thing I miss from classic is the ability to define and recall UI setups!!!!!

Last year Apple filed a patent for a new Z-depth image segmentation workspace inside FCPX. Here's the article from 2015... www.premiumbeat.com/blog/will-apples-fcp...ionize-the-industry/
What are the odds that we will get cutting edge Z-depth/lightfield technology incorporated into FCPXI / FCPX before we get half decent audio mixing? I'm kidding of course.I'm sure audio is right up there in the new features.

Nothing new if you look at Apples patent catalog for FCP. It would be good to start seeing this patents actually make into the software.

Well this is interesting...

If there’s a maintenance version of Final Cut Pro X out today don’t be disappointed. I’m sure #fcpx 10.3 will be a big update!

Of course you KNOW that's going to result in a lot negative response as people will insist development has ended and FCPX is only in maintenance mode. Not much we can do about that but I really wish Apple had some kind of PR (besides swearing any witnesses to secrecy).

Per Larry Jordan's newsletter earlier this week:

"On a different note, I've had a lot of folks asking why I'm writing so much about Adobe and so little about Final Cut Pro X. I still love Final Cut, but Apple hasn't updated it in a while because they are working on something big. So, the short answer is that I've run out of stuff to talk about. I've covered virtually every feature in the software either in an article, a webinar or part of my FCP X Complete training."

"...they are working on something big..." being the exciting inference. He's been a reliable prognosticator in the past, and along with the awesome folks at Ripple seems to launch new training almost simultaneously with new versions of FCPX.

Maybe this stretch of sustained quietude from Apple in regards to FCPX is an exciting thing. Something's a coming. I'd buckle up in the coming weeks. It's a testament to FCPX that it engenders such loyalty and thrill to its users in a way that we wait with bated breath.

Well, that was as bewilderingly specific as it was inaccurate.

It was an inaccurate guess based on Apple shuffling their Final Cut support page around late on Wednesday night! :woohoo:

At least recent patents awarded to Apple hint that Final Cut has not gone into maintenance mode. I've written up an Apple patent covering audio on my public Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Alex4D/

@Alex4D

Hey Alex,

No problem, and thank you for clarifying this.

To everyone who loves to speculate:

You don't have to be under any NDA, nor do you need to be a clairvoyant, to know that there will be some exciting news coming in the next few months. All the signs are here, you just need to read them. Now let the speculation continue :woohoo:

Don't want to bust your bubble, but there are many Patents for FCP years back that haven't made it today.
Real fact is nobody except for a few know.

Have FCPX updates come usually in the morning or afternoon? I thought I remember some updates coming in at 2pm Pacific time.

I saw this post on Facebook and I was a bit shock and worried when I read this post about the future update of FCPX (10.3) coming this October.

learnfinalcut.wordpress.com/2016/08/16/i...-cut-pro-in-october/

Can't believe this thread was languishing on page 4!

So, chances of something being announced tomorrow FCPX wise?

Tomorrow would be the iPhone event. It's not going to happen there for sure.
Thursday starts IBC conferences.
Adobe has already made their CC announcement.

Waiting for Final Cut Godot.

I think it's pretty clear that FCPX 10.3 won't be released until October or after/at the same time Sierra is released. Either FCPX 10.3 relies on Sierra (which I doubt), it's being held for Macbook Pro/Mac Pro refreshes or it wasn't ready to be released yet and has nothing to do with the other two.

*Perhaps some features require Sierra, but since it was shown off at NAB prior to WWDC where Sierra was released, it makes sense that it can still run on El Capitan.

At this point, given CC has made their announcement, it might be nice if Apple had a sneak peek announcement. I just don't see the need for secrecy at this point. I don't get the silence strategy at this point.

I know this maybe has never been raised, but I have been thinking about the number one thing that is bugging me in FCPX, and well for a long time, I could not distill it to something concrete then tonight, whilst reading the how to edit a music video just posted on the front page, it hit me...

Markers.. Yes yes I know, markers are there, and well there is a huge thing no one has mentioned, and well it is this...

Why do markers have to be attached to anything? Why not have them be fixed in time according to the master timecode, so that they become an anchor on which you connect clips to, instead of connecting to actual video media, the marker is not attached to any video, it is it self a sort of island that is fixed according to the timecode when you set the marker.

This way, if you move, delete, trim, the video/audio it does not move, and any connected clips remain attached to the marker.

Having fixed markers, and yes they have to be colored, solves so many minor frustrations I have...ideas???

Certainly not a bad idea. I can see the use of this.

I have suggested this to Apple via Feedback. Have you? If not you kindly should.

This is associated to the "blank text layer" usage that has been so useful for many thus far....
