Detailed article on his zeroth and first day at the #fcpCreativeSummit by @chrisatlatenite - Final Cut tools maven.

Apple Pro Apps team to Motion users today: “You don’t matter”

Strange how Apple updated the user guide for Motion from 5.8 to 5.9 for one of the smallest feature updates in many years.

And that's saying something!

5.8 guide 1414 pages
5.9 guide 1400 pages:


Online version of new section:

Compressor 4.9 new features:
• Transcode stereoscopic video files to spatial video for editing in Final Cut Pro and playback on Apple Vision Pro
• Export spatial video encoded files to Photos to automatically share with Apple Vision Pro

• Add Color Adjustments effect – Option-Command-O
• Add Magnetic Mask – Control-Command-M

Difference between Stereo video and Spatial video in Final Cut Pro 11 for Mac?
“Stereo video and spatial video can both be exported in the MV-HEVC format, but spatial video is exported with additional metadata that enables immersive viewing experiences on Apple Vision Pro.”

60 minute discussion on Final Cut Pro 11 featuring
@thomasgcarter on Tyler Stalman’s latest video podcast.

Thomas was asked by Apple to work on their 89 second promo video.

Final Cut Pro 11 new features.
With links to how they work - from the new documentation.

Motion v5.9 is available

More of a ‘5.8.1’
- if you don't consider 'v5.8' actually more like version v5.6.8

A bugfix update
With feature to do with video decoders
No spatial template features

At least they didn't discontinue it

I mainly social on Twitter. I have a Mastodon account. I’m going to also social on another platform. Which of these two are you on most often?

Warning: If you run the Kartaverse/KartaVR tools to make XR/Immersive videos on the free version of @Blackmagic_News DaVinci Resolve, don’t upgrade to the new version 19.1.

BMD have disabled Reactor Package Manager that these tools rely on.

Starting a short flight, but I hope to stay in the air until Wednesday evening.

Good luck everyone.

New M4 iMac mentions one or two 6K external displays support + ‘Thunderbolt 4 digital video output.’
So that's three or more external displays using third-party options.

Keyboard/mouse charged using USB-C (because that's the cable that comes with it).

Following the details on the new M4 iMac…

The same M4 Apple silicon SoC in M4 MacBook Pros can support
- 16-32GB RAM
- two 6K external displays
- four Thunderbolt 4 ports

Time to mute all tweets mentioning RunwayML’s new technology video-driven animation technology. Although the tech is good, all the tweets are the same. It’s making Twitter super-boring.

Red Herring interview with Steve Jobs from Jan 1996:
SJ: “My goal over the next few years is to stay far ahead of Microsoft, until the Web is so ubiquitous, that even Microsoft can't own it.”
What about Apple?
SJ: “Well, I love Apple. I hope they make it.”

Who says 20th century UIs are over?

After Effects seem to crave improvements in manipulation of their quaint keyframe animation system.
