    No 8k timeline in fcpx?

    Hello, there was a lot of information when Apple announced iMac PRO and it's capability to edit 8k footage in 8k timeline. The thing is, when I try to create a new project in FCPX (10.4.2), maximum resolution is 5k and I can't find 8k option. I have seen a statement from Apple "Video editors...

    FCPX using dual Vendor GPU's?

    Was editing a video in FCPX today, and realized that during export FCP was using my AMD and Nvidia GPU's. I ran several tests to see if it was maybe just using the Nvidia card for downsampling or just effects, but was used across the board even for native 4k->4k video exports. Can anyone else...

    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...

    Dongles not recognised and FCPX crashes with two LG 5K screens

    Title explains... since upgrading I lost all my video editing capabilities. The dongle for Davinci Resolve 14 is not recognised (and neither is an ANT+ dongle that I use for cycling) and my alternative for editing video on my MacBook late 16 (15" with touchbar and 4Gb) can't even handle FCPX...

    Choppy 4K video in Davinci Resolve 14 Lite

    Hi, I've got a 2017 iMac i7, 512GB SSD with Radeon 580 8GB and 8GB RAM. A friend sent me some 4K video files and I can reproduce them perfectly in FCPX and Premiere, but for some reason Davinci Resolve Lite 14 gets choppy. Funnily enough, my friend with a 2015 iMac i5, fusion drive, 1GB GPU...

    FCPX on 2017 Base 27" iMac

    Was wondering if anyone could share their experience with video editing on Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) on their 2017 Base 27" iMac with Radeon Pro 570. Was concerned if there would be any noticeable issues/lag with prolonged/advanced video editing on the base machine in FCPX. I'd imagine that video...

    Audio levels not changing in FCPX

    Just finished creating a video in FCPX. I've been using it for about a year now, and have never had any problems until now. I rendered a video, and when I played in in QT, the background music was too loud. No problem, I simply went back into FCPX, lowered the volume, and rendered another video...

    FCPX Multicam Audio Effect not being heard in Timeline

    I have a limiter applied to an audio-only clip in my Mutlicam clip. It works as should (in the Multicam view): capping the ear-blowing levels out. When I'm editing in the timeline, however - that limiter effect is not in place, is not heard, and ears are blown. Audio is set in timeline to be...

    2016 15" 4K multicam video editing?

    Does anyone have any experience with the new macbook pro 15" and multiple 4K cameras in fcpx? I know the better option would be to get an iMac or build a Windows workstation, however I don't want to go back to Windows. I also need a new laptop and a semi maxed out pro is cheaper than a iMac and...

    Final Cut Pro X always asks for a library

    Every time I open FCP X, it always asks me to locate a library. I know this would happen if I launch FCP X with the Option key held down, but I don't. I have tried to trash FCP X preferences, even reinstall the program but nothing helped. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix...
