Work or Share Final Cut Pro Remotely with Splashtop

Oh - and a big thank you to John and also Dan T in Ealing for helping out

I'm curious about how other screen sharing software would work. I gave up TeamViewer because of the expense when i could get Jump Desktop as part of my setapp subscription. I'll have to try Jump and see how well that works. They have a similar client side sharing app that isn't the full utility.

Yeah, TeamViewer just nose dived into oblivion. Our TV station switched to ConnectWise. Because of a write up I found somewhere else last year, I set up a Splashtop account for my personal/professional use outside of the station. Loving it so far!

Jump Desktop all the way. It supported audio streaming early last year, and also a low-latency setting. Updates often and works/sets up easily via google auth. I use my iPhone iPad and laptop to connect and edit from the office all the time. It’s flawless. And it switches audio config seamlessly so you don’t have to. Also auto sizes displays, and has great key input support.

Great article. I'm hoping to be using this soon on a doc I'm assisting on.

Anybody on a Mojave and later can use the screen sharing and remote control built into Messages: support.apple.com/guide/messages/screen-sharing-icht11883/mac

I've done this on remote FCP sessions and it was usable  but somewhat laggy. Turning off the skimmer was best. There is also an issue of limited control over remote volume. I could hear the remote FCP volume but I wouldn't want to edit audio that way. Despite some limitations, MacOS screen sharing is built in and doesn't require purchasing or installing anything.

The Splashtop video Peter posted showed good skimmer performance in the event browser which is impressive. It's great to see better options are being developed. Thank you for posting that.

If you can live with the quality hit, zoom works well . Just set your zoom client to see your desktop, and use FCPX as usual. You won’t get remote control, but for casual 2 way discussions it works well, depending on your connect speeds.
