There are limitations when you duplicate a project. A faster way to export a project, based on preference settings. Renamed from “Duplicate Project as Snapshot.” This is the best choice when duplicating projects. Duplicate project as… and give it a new name, rather than just append “copy.”.Opens the project and plays from the last position of the playhead. This removes other, not active, projects from the Timeline but not the Library.Ĭontrol-click the project name in the Browser to see these options. This removes it from the timeline, but not from the Library. (Control-click the project in the Browser to create snapshots.) Remember, if you use compound or multicam clips, do NOT use this option. To do so, select a clip(s) in the timeline or browser, then choose File > Delete Generated Media.Ĭlick the name of your project at the top center of the timeline and new options appear: NOTE: We can now delete render files for individual clips, not just projects or events.
You just to see what’s there to create a rough cut – or a rough multicam edit. Remember, you don’t need great images when editing proxies. If you have an older system, stay with ProRex Proxy, but at a smaller frame size. Both ProRes and H.264 support creating smaller files, though H.264 will be far smaller than ProRes Proxy. However, we now have the option to create H.264 proxies. This format is also the easiest to edit, especially on older systems. (Smaller fractions create smaller files, but with lower image quality.)įor the best image quality, continue to create proxies using ProRes Proxy. As well, it also supports creating proxy files at 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 size. Transcode now supports creating proxy files in both ProRes Proxy and H.264. Transcode was beefed up with more options.Analyze Video moved up from the audio options.(I prefer fades between 1/2 and 1 second.)Īpple rearranged the import options – and added a couple new ones – to the Media Import window.
You can adjust this default duration for audio cross-fades, go to Final Cut Pro > Preferences > Editing and enter a new value into Crossfade. You can change any of these manually.īy default, each crossfade is 0.10 seconds. In normal use, you’d only see one.įinal Cut automatically moves the fade dots and trims the ends of each selected edit point to create a crossfade. In this example, I highlighted the fade dots of each clip. This allows you to see the overlap between clips. Then, if you want to see what FCP did, select the clips with fades and choose Clip > Expand Audio Components. NOTE: This shortcut mimics the video dissolve shortcut of Cmd + T.
All updates are free.Īlso, if you edit RED footage, you’ll need to update the free RED Workflow Installer to version 16.0.0 or later.
However, you will need to update the Pro Video codecs for this version of Final Cut. To upgrade these, go to System Preferences > Software Update. Let me take you behind-the-scenes to discover these smaller gems.Īpple updated a ton of camera codecs. However, Apple also released a flood of small changes that drew a whole lot less press. I’ll post links here when they are ready. NOTE: I’m writing two separate articles covering the new proxy workflow and Smart Conform.
These free updates are available in the Mac App Store.
Apple updated Final Cut Pro X to version 10.4.9 yesterday and the marquee features are an improved proxy workflow and automatic reframing (“Smart Conform”) converting traditional video to the different formats demanded by social media.
