#FinalCutPro

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Welp, #DavinciResolve can’t render to AV1 on a #MacBook Pro, and as we all know you can’t get them with actually-powerful GPUs like Nvidia or AMD, so that’s that app out of the running.

Given the fact that #FinalCutPro is a third as much again as #VegasPro for Windows (which is fully capable of rendering to any format via CPU or GPU) which I already own, I think this particular quest has come to an end.

Macs just aren’t built for this purpose. Damn shame as I love the screen on my MBP.

There's a stupid thing in #FinalCutPro

You can't seem to import/copy subtitles into an existing project and combine it with existing or new subtitles. It always creates a new subtitle track, and you can only have one track active at a time.

Example. You're making a compilation show, and you want to use the pre-existing subtitles from the source programs. They won't integrate.

Dumb solution: I worked each track separately (no overlap) exported both, asked an LLM to merge them.

Worked!

Anyone have experience with exporting #captions/subtitles from #fcp and having them be visible in #vlc? I can add them, export the mov file and see that the subtitle track is there, enable it in VLC, but nothing is showing. (And yes, I am using that 608 format)

What is the magic trick?

“Burning” in the captions works, but is not the optimal workaround if you want to support more than one language.

“¡Final Cut Pro se actualiza! 🎥 Ahora incluye ‘Image Playground’ con Apple Intelligence para crear imágenes estilizadas con IA, mejoras en máscaras magnéticas y efectos de audio avanzados. Disponible en Mac e iPad.¡La edición de video nunca fue tan creativa! #FinalCutPro #Apple

I suppose it's pointless to look any further into #FinalCutPro.

Cost - FCP: $299, Vegas Pro $169
License: Perpetual for both

Both popular, both comprehensive.

The deciding factor is that one platform supports a GPU (which can be upgraded over time if needed, along with the CPU, along with the RAM) to facilitate faster editing and especially video encoding, and one requires you to purchase an entirely new machine and doesn't support external GPUs at all.

Plus I already own #SonyVegas.
