    Ventura speeds up nothing

    FYI: many online tests and test of my own work in FCP have shown that when exporting rendered ProRes or HEVC even in 8K the Studio with the ultra chip (48C in my case) is no faster than my 32 core M1 max. The Ultra definitely has a damages with GPU heavy effects and multiple clips (mostly in 8K...

    FCP: Delete Render Files & Create A Lot of Space

    Well, I started off the New Year with a Homer (Simpson) moment. I looked at the size of my FCP library - HUGE. Then I recalled I had not deleted the Render Files since acquiring the 2019 Mac Pro. After I deleted the files, the library shrank by little over 700GB. My New Year's goal is to not...

    QNAP/NAS Will Not Launch FCP

    I recently swapped my drives and SSD into a brand new QNAP (TVS-872XT). The previous QNAP failed and would not power up. After transferring the SSDs I installed the firmware (4.5.4.1892), rebooted, and then installed all eight drives. Every program works with the exception of Final Cut Pro. If I...

    M1 Max - Underwhelming FCPX Video Export Performance (Not a fast as Rene Richie's results)

    I bought a 16" M1 Max (32 GPU cores) and my video export/render times aren't quite living up to what I'm seeing in benchmarks/reviews. For instance the following is from Rene Richie's review on YouTube: (note the M1 Max 13-inch is a typo, it's the 16" model). Here he says he's exporting a 4K...

    Which External SSD for FCP Editing?

    I'm trying to decide what 2TB SSD to get. I'm not worried about the price as much as I am not wasting my money if there is no difference seen between the two types. I have a 2018(2020) Intel i5 Mac mini. I'm trying to decide between a Thunderbolt 3 or a USB-C 3.2 SSD drive. I currently have a...

    High exposure video

    Hi, I filmed some footage on a canon g7x mark iii and the exposure comp was set to high. All the footage I filmed is too bright and white now. I messed with the color and exposure setting in fcp, although I can't get it to not look too bright. I included the clip.

    Hide update: Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content 1.0

    There are two updates of the same name totaling over 1GB that I don't expect to use in the near future, that appear in Software Updates causing an ever-present red badge on the System Preferences icon so it's harder to tell when there are other updates. Any way to effectively hide these updates...

    M1 Mini and FCPX performance question

    Considering an M1 for FCPX and trying to discern actual performance benefits. At present, if I import 4K footage from my Sony a6000, and bring it onto timeline, with the film strip view large, and play the timeline, I don’t always get the audio waveforms drawn in until I pause playback. It then...

    Digitizing from MiniDV tapes, audio is always out of sync

    I'm digitizing a bunch of old MiniDV tapes, which play fine in my old DV camcorder, but when I digitize them using iMovie (latest version) or Final Cut Pro (latest version), the audio is always out of sync in the final files. Has anyone seen this before, and know how to resolve this? In FCP I...

    2019 15" i9 throttles below base clock during final cut renders

    Is this normal behavior and just showing how incredibly optimized fcpx is? I was rendering out different clips to export and noticed my i9/16gb/512/560x couldn't sustain base clock speeds. I have background rendering turned off and fans set to full blast. Latest 10.4.8 installed.

    Final Cut crash

    I updated to latest beta last night and found out this morning that fcpx no longer worked. Crashed immediately. Tried reinstalling fcpx but didn’t help. Reset preferences- no help. I had to revert to previous beta and that solved the problem. I don’t know what changed between betas but it sure...

    What's Faster for FCPx? Top End iMac 5K + eGPU or iMac Pro

    Thinking about my next iMac purchase, and wondering if anyone has any input on this. I was pretty sold on the top end iMac Pro when I heard the specs, but based on the benchmarks so far, it seems the Pro models don't scale well according to the cores and price. Since the top end i7 does a good...
