    The whole "Apple Experience" is getting really sour on me. I have defended Macs and Apple to all the Apple haters for years, but I'm done. There's the pathetic display management assigning monitor roles at random, but at least that one you can correct, even if you do so hundreds of times. But...

    How to import/export 4k (Canon 1DX Mark II) to FCPX

    I recently began capturing video with a Canon 1DX Mark II. 4k clips vary between 60 to 120fps. I discovered that FCPX does not recognize 4k files. By this I mean that the largest format option for export is 1920 X 1080. I conducted a quick search and it appears this is a known issue. All of the...

    Final Cut Pro X "Excessive Shake" tag.

    I just find it really funny that if you stabilize a clip in Final Cut Pro X it automatically puts an "Excessive Shake" tag on your entire video. By using the word "Excessive" it seems like they are making fun of how shaky your camera is. I don't know why I find this so funny but I just do! :)
