#FCPX peeps, how would you somehow mark or make a list of clips on the timeline that have some sort of transform (scale), stabilization and/or a specific effect applied?
I have to do a conform in Resolve from graded clips and would like to save some time, not having to check each clip for these adjustments.
So, if you have the #Apple Pro Video Codecs are installed on your Mac, the integrated video player in #NeoFinder can play Sony MXF video files! Pretty cool!
Out of 367 clips in this timeline (that we have to transfer from Premiere to #FCPX using SendtoX), 40 files randomly do not relink. Checksums match, no weirdness in file paths.
And that's where you just stop. Nothing you can do 🤷
Why I'm sticking to #FCPX? Because at the end of the day, it's brutally effective. All NLEs have bugs and quirks, but I just fly with FCPX. You can be fast in all NLEs, but things like keyword ranges and the magnetic timeline are just crazy efficient.
Aaand here we go again. A month into new project. #FCPX stops creating new snapshots. I go "Duplicate as snapshot" as always, and absolutely nothing happens. #bugmagnet
Another project, more random proxies randomly disconnecting. All of them are present on the drive and can be relinked, but #FCPX just decides to drop the link. No shenanigans, ProRes footage, proxies made in FCPX on a M1 Mac.
I really like that the integrated video player in the Gallery View of #NeoFinder not only plays MOV and MP4 files, but also many AVI, MT2, M2TS, M2V, TS, MPG and MPEG files!
Fixed the inability of #FCPX to import folders as Events (1 day of shooting = 1 event) with a Keyboard Maestro macron. Actual importing is a problem rn as there's some issue with drag&drop between finder and fcpx but this is the more annoying and error-prone part. What would take two hours of tiresome copypasting was done automatically within three minutes.
Clipboard buffers in #CommandPost for #FCPX is incredibly useful, It lets you copy and paste multiple things - this goes into buffer 1, that into buffer 2, that into buffer 10, and you can paste any of these independently. Incredibly useful for things like adding recurring elements into shows. A HUGE time saver.
Pretty fascinating to read as this stuff becomes more relevant to the work I'm doing, especially this feature film #FCPX workflow created by the filmmakers:
I have to say #FCPX 10.7.x is remarkably stable with Sonoma. This is a decent-sized library with 9TB of footage of all sorts, tons of effect, animations and whatnot and it nearly never crashes.
#FCPX 10.7.1 won't let me link to externally created proxies (by Blackmagic Proxy Generator).
It links, no error messages, BUT there's still only the Original under Media Representation.
What is super bizarre is when you do Reveal Proxy, it DOES reveal the correct proxy file, BUT when you unmount the drive with the originals and switch to Proxy Only, it will be offline.
