Hello all !! I have a mid 2012 15" Retina Display (256gb, 8gb RAM, 2,3ghz i7, Nvidia Graphic Card) running High Sierra. I'm a part-time photographer and videographer. I use Lightroom, Final Cut Pro and Premiere CC. The MBP runs all everyday tasks quite good and hasn't any major problems until I...

Hi, I'm a freelance video editor and I'm currently working on a production that uses FCP 7 (Yes... you read that right). I have FCP 7 on my early 2008 Mac Pro, but I bought a new iMac Pro earlier this year and would like to use it for this job. We all know that FCP 7 is now obsolete with High...

I'm curious if anybody out there has any tips for managing and editing stock footage within FCPX (currently using 10.4.1). I've been mostly doing photography but have an increasing library of footage from my travels and looking to get into stock footage. Here's a rough outline of my current...

Hey everyone, I'm looking into buying a used 2008-2009 Mac Pro on ebay. I want to smoothly edit HD videos on FCP, so I was thinking I should upgrade the internals. -At least 16gb RAM -At least 2gb VRAM (graphics card) Here's a link to the Mac I found...

I use Final Cut X on my 2017 MacBook Pro 13 in, its my workhorse and use if for everything. I want to get into EGPU and understand that an AMD card will increase render time and performance of my Mac because of Open GL. with apple phasing open gl out in 10.14 is it worth getting an AMD card...

So, I've been a Mac user for a long time. I mean, I use PC as well, but for video editing, Mac is my home-boi. Recently, I've wanted to upgrade my kit. Problem is, there's a really, REALLY big gap between my hardware/software, and what Apple offers modern day. So, I suppose this is a question...

So, when I tested the new feature, the captions did not appear in the viewer and could not be exported. I scratched my head as to why this was. I watched some videos, and they seemed to just be able to drop them in and have them work. I figured out why captions didn't work with my projects. My...

I’m purchasing a new computer on Monday and was hoping to get some opinions and advice as to which model to buy. The computer will be used to run Logic Pro X and either Final Cut Pro or Avid Media Composer. I was leaning towards the 5k iMac, however the portability of the 13 inch MacBook Pro...

Hello! I'm thinking of buying an iMac, and my brother is selling an iMac 21.5" Late 2012 (running macOS High Sierra). He got gifted it at work, and doesn't have any use for it, so it's never been used. It looks absolutely gorgeous, and I'd love to buy it off him. However, I do a LOT of heavy...

Hey, I'm only doing a home video for a family members wedding but I have a video that I can't import. All other videos taken that day have imported successfully. Any ideas why this could be? The file plays fine in Photos too.

Hi All, I've taken the plunge and got myself the latest iMac Pro base model with 3.2 Ghx Intel Xeon W, 32 GB 2666 MHz DDR4. The reason I bought it is I have delved into making promo videos for a business. I have been doing this with the macbook pro 13 inch which just struggled. So I took the...

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! :)

Hoping to get some advice on which config to go with to edit 4k drone videos and other 4k video content for my real estate listings. I currently have a 2016 MacBook M7 that seems to take forever to do simple things like stabilize in iMovie. I plan to use final cut to take my content to the next...

Hey guys, I just got the 2017 nTB base model. I was wondering whether anyone has any real first hand experience with Final Cut Pro X on this machine, and can tell me in advance what kind of limitations to expect... Tnx!

Hey guys. I wanted to start this thread to get information together on running the newly announced Vega Frontier Edition on our beloved classic Mac Pros. I currently have an Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti on my 2009 4,1 (upgraded to 5,1 & 12-core) Mac Pro running Sierra 10.12.5. While the GTX 1080 Ti is...

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...

Would love some experienced advice on this. Background: I'm a photographer with very large Lightroom photo libraries and perform high-end retouching in Photoshop. I shoot most weekends and spend very little time deleting unwanted shots, needing to focus my available time on the selected shots...

Hi all, I currently have the 2008 3,1 Mac Pro with 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core processors. - I have the option to replace it with a 2010 5,1 1x Six-Core processor. Is this much of an upgrade? - I've been considering not having a Mac Pro at all and just getting the 2015 Macbook Pro with discrete...

Hello, i need to use Final Cut pro 4 for a project i am currently working on, is there any way of sourcing this version of Final Cut?
