Whilst there is a Resolution dropdown in the BRAWReader effect on the clip, so you can adjust the decode quality - the source clip will always still be 3072 x 1728, which could be a quality issue if you want to access the full image data or want to send a FCPXML to DaVinci Resolve.

We were transcoding the R3D files to Apple ProRes 422 HQ files at 1920×1080. We were using the full debayer quality, and REDSpace for both the Colour & Gamma spaces. This took a HUGE amount of time (almost two weeks of none stop processing), but at the end of the day we ended up with some terrific Quicktime files that we could throw into Final Cut Pro and start editing, plus we could also send these clips to the visual effects kids so that they could start playing. We did run into one slight problem after we THOUGHT that everything was done. On inspection of the transcoded files, we realised that all the Quicktimes for Day Two of shooting were EXACTLY the same as Day Four. I’m still not sure whether that was human error or REDrushes being annoying – but either way we had to re-transcode all of the day four footage. Unfortunately at this stage we had to give back the MacPro, so we had to do all of this on a stock standard first generation MacBook. It wasn’t quite as fast as the MacPro, but it got the job done. Eventually.","Although in the end we didn’t end up using any of the sync audio – we recorded audio separately to a Sound Devices 744T, which was synced to a Smart Slate. Originally we had planned to sync the camera to the 744T as well, but for some reason we couldn’t get it to work on the first day of shooting, so we gave up. I believe the problem has since been fixed with one of the RED ONE Firmware Updates. We only had one microphone on set – a Sennheiser 416 on a boom. We basically just recorded sound to use as a guide track for when it came to adding sound effects later on.","Although the plan was always to shoot to card for safety reasons (we’ve all got disaster stories to tell about Firestore’s dying and hard drives being dropped!) – we decided to gamble and record straight to the RED-DRIVE (a special drive designed for the camera which can store 320GB in a RAID 0 configuration). Not only that – but we decided to leave the dumping to the end of the day. This was a HUGE risk, because if the drive died at the end of the day, we’d potentially loose a whole days worth of shooting. However, we didn’t have the crew available to have a dedicated “data technician”, nor did we have the hardware to dump the cards on a regular basis. This may seem really silly (I mean seriously – all you need is a Mac laptop and a card reader!), but we had neither of those things at the time, and it was just easier to use what we had available. Luckily – nothing went wrong, and the RED-DRIVE was faultless – it never dropped a single frame! However, to anyone else planning to shoot on RED – I strongly recommend you do the complete opposite to what we did! Record to CF card and dump as soon as the card is full.","And that is the workflow we decided to use for Sakooz! At the moment we are just archiving all the project files to DVD, and keeping all the media on the SATAII drives. At some stage we will eventually put everything to LTO drives as a final backup – but we don’t have the money at the moment.","Arctic Whiteness has confirmed that Final Cut Pro Library Manager v3.98 works \"awfully well\" with Final Cut Pro 10.7.1.","At the end of each shooting day we dumped the RED-DRIVE and the 744T to two seperate 1TB SATAII drives. For the duration of the shoot we managed to borrow a brand new MacPro Tower from Julian at Eidolon Creative and used this machine to do all the dumping as well as the transcoding. We put the two 1TB drives directly into the MacPro. We ended up with 508.34GB of camera footage, and a couple of GB of audio. We ended up purchasing two additional 500GB SATAII drives to make another backup of all of the R3D files – which we then stored at two separate locations away from our master edit suite, just in case. We called the drives Pinky (Master Edit), Bluey (Backup of Master Edit), Tumbles (R3D Master) and Splash (backup of R3D Master), because that’s what the names of the Sakooz creatures are called. Anyway… Now normally, on a “proper” production, you would have RAIDs and RAID 5 protection, etc. But unfortunately, we simply didn’t have the money for that, so we just had to make do with what we had. We had to manually copy and paste the files for backup purposes – we basically did this at the end of each day. We also kept a copy of the Final Cut Pro project on two USB thumbdrives just in case. Just for laughs, here’s a photo of some of the drives from our rather odd-ball collection. The top right one is Pinky. We ended up taking the covers off the enclosures as we found they got too hot when in use all day and night long.","Beta 14 introduced Lua scripting - allowing you to programatically generate whatever text you want!","Big news: Colourlab Ai V3 Creator for Windows and Mac has landed! It's not just an update – it's a game-changer, rebuilt from scratch with a new Ai Color Engine, offering 10x more precision than ever.","Builder NLE v4.1.11 is out now with the following bug fixes:","By printing off the EDL we now had a hard copy of the trailer’s edit – which is always a good thing! But more importantly, it allowed us to easily track and manage everything. Because we couldn’t afford to purchase software such as Crimson Workflow, and we didn’t have time to write up our own proprietary software, we ended up doing a lot of things manually. For instance, we ended up going down the EDL line by line, and exporting a 1920×1080 DPX sequence from REDCINE. We made minor adjustments in REDCINE to get the most clean image and exported away. We put each shot in a different folder based on the EDL number assigned to the shot. For example, the first shot in the trailer was called 001_000001.DPX. This kept things nice and simple. Once every shot was exported out of REDCINE as DPX sequence (which took a night), it was ready for grading!","Carsten Kurpanek posted this really interesting Tweet on his Twitter feed:","Chris!","Color Intelligence writes:","Critical bug fix for loading new clips into the preview player (introduced in version v4.1.10)","From that Quicktime master we than could do any DVD, web, Blu-ray, etc. encodes using Compressor.","Grab Your Gift!

Download Gyroflow Toolbox today from the Mac App Store.","Happy Holidays and Happy Grading!","I’m not even sure how this is possible, but we were able to play one video track of 1920×1080 ProRes on the eMac over Firewire 400 in realtime without any issues. And so, we basically edited away for several weeks in Final Cut Pro 6. We ended up doing a very rough grade using the 3-way Colour Corrector just so that when we showed other people to get opinions, they were looking at something that looked half decent. We tried a huge amount of different things in terms of the edit – we used a lot of different music as guide tracks. We even copied the audio from other big Hollywood trailers (such as the Dark Knight) and cut our footage to their soundtrack just to see what we could come up with. It was a very painful, long, but fun and creative process that I certainly won’t forget any time soon!","If you have any questions about the workflow or how we did anything, feel free to post a comment. At some stage in the future we also hope to post some more detailed information on the various visual effects that featured in the trailer, so stay tuned!","In terms of Principle Photography, everything pretty much ran exactly the same as if we were shooting on film. We lit it exactly the same way, and Ben (our DOP) still had his light meter by his side. Because we needed to shoot so much very quickly (time wasn’t on our side), I decided against setting up a “video village” and even a directors monitor – preferring to be there in the action, behind Ben, peaking over his shoulder to watch the on-camera LCD. This worked really well.","Inspired by this Tweet, here's an old blog post I wrote back in December 2008:","It reminds me when I was back in film school in 2008, working on my SAKOOZ feature film proof-of-concept, which we shot on an early RED ONE.","It's still very much a work-in-progress, with the aim to release on the Mac App Store by end of January.","It's terrible, but you can watch the SAKOOZ trailer here:","It's worth having a look through the entire thread, as Carsten gives a lot of interesting insights into this fun workflow.","Merry Christmas Team!","Now with a whole heap of beautifully graded DPX sequences, it was time to do the online. I ended up doing this at University on a nice and speedy MacPro in After Effects CS3. I imported all of the DPX sequences, and then manually put them all in the correct places based on the printed EDL. Once that was complete I simply rendered out a Quicktime File using the Animation Codec. Here is a photo taken at about four o’clock in the morning after I’d been at uni for about fourty hours STRAIGHT working on Sakooz. You can see the insanity in my eyes.","Offlining using such high quality media may seem a little silly – I mean, really, we could have done a quarter res transcode to DV, and save a huge amount of time and disk space. Also, considering we were doing the offline on a bunch of eMac’s over Firewire 400 drives (that’s right… really old school eMac’s!), it would have also made the whole editing process a lot more fluid. However! By editing at such a great quality, it meant that whenever we did test screenings or had to show potential investors or sponsors, we could easily burn off a high-quality 1920×1080 Quicktime Movie that looks simply gorgeous even before grading. Here is a photo of our main editing machine.","Once the offline edit was complete, we tidied up the timeline so that everything was on the one track (where possible) and printed off an EDL. This then became our bible. At this stage, all the audio had been done in Final Cut Pro, with the occasional effect being done in Protools LE and Soundtrack Pro, and then exported out as an AIFF. We were still using guide track music.","Originally we had planned to do the grade at one of the major post houses in Melbourne, but due to a lack of time and money, we ended up getting a very talented film school graduate called Nick Reid to do the grade in Apple’s Color. Getting the DPX files into Color proved to be a bit more tricky than anticipated! We ended up purchasing yet another 1TB SATAII drive (called Gizmo) for the colour grade.","Quick Notes:","Season's Greetings, Colour Graders!","Simon Says Transcription v3.9.5 is out now with improved performance and bug fixes.","Syncs with DaVinci Resolve (more compatibility coming soon). January: Adding Premiere and FCP support. February: Pro Release with RAW support, SDI, and Tangent. Requirements: OS13+ or Windows 10.","The Metaburner Pro beta period continues the excitement with new awesome new features in each TestFlight release.","The only thing left to do was sound! Once Frank (our composer) finished, he simply gave us a 24-Bit 48KHz Broadcast Wave File, which we threw into Final Cut Pro. After a bit of tweaking – adjusting the sound effect levels to suit the new score, the sound was ready to rock and roll! Originally we had planned to do a quite complex 5.1 mix just for fun – but at the end of the day, no one was ever going to listen to it in surround sound anyway, so we decided to skip on that idea (for now at least). Once the sound was done, we exported an AIFF and then merged the Animation Codec video and AIFF together to create the Final Quicktime Master!","This wasn’t exactly the quickest workflow in the world (we did a lot of things manually that could have been easily avoided by using software such as Crimson Workflow, plus we used extremely old Mac’s and PC’s in a lot of cases), but a lot of it came down to money vs time. In some cases money won out, but more often than not, we decided to save money and do things the manual way. To be perfectly honest, it actually felt really nice to have a printed out EDL on which to direct everything! It felt much the same as the good old days with film!","We ended up with 16 visual effects in total (including graphics). Once a visual effect shot was completed it was exported as a 1920×1080 DPX sequence ready for grading. For your viewing pleasure, here are some photos of After Effects genius James Otter, working away! I have no idea what the cardboard cartons are for, or where he got them. Needless to say, these photos were taken at some ridiculous early hour of the morning, after James and I had been stuck at uni for AT LEAST forty hours STRAIGHT!","What we ended up doing was wrapping all the DPX files as Quicktimes manually using AJA’s free DPXtoQTTranslator utility. Once all of the DPX’s were wrapped (including all the visual effects), we manually re-created the Final Cut Pro timeline based on the printed EDL using the newly wrapped Quicktime files. We then exported out a XML file from Final Cut Pro. This XML file was brought into Color and grading could commence. Nick took a couple of days to do the grade, and once completed, he handed back Gizmo, ready for the final stages!","When we first started thinking about the best way to put together the Sakooz trailer, we originally thought that Super 16mm and a film scan route would be the most appropriate option given our budget, and the “Hollywood trailer” look that we were after. However, after various camera tests (we’ll post some further information on these tests another time), and a bit of number crunching, it became clear pretty quickly that shooting on the RED ONE was going to achieve better results, cost less and make the post production just that little bit easier (at least in theory) by keeping everything digital. And so, after getting in touch with Cail & Pete from Inspiration Studios, and doing some tests with their brand new toy camera – we decided to shoot the Sakooz trailer on RED.","Whilst I was trying to lock down the picture, others were playing around with the visual effects. Initially, tests and trials were done by the various VFX artists using the ProRes Quicktime files. However, once we had locked down the trailer in terms of the edit, we used REDCINE to export out 4K TIFF sequences and 2K/1K DPX sequences for the visual effects people to work on. Ashley Smart (who did the effects for the Shed Explosion Sequence) was using 4K TIFF Sequences in After Effects on a laptop (which is quite incredible). James Otter used 1K DPX sequences in Nuke, and After Effects to achieve a lot of the effects shots, on a PC. And I used a good old MacBook, running After Effects and Shake to do the remaining shots. I ended up using After Effect’s own tracker for most of the tracking work, although I did use PFTrack for one of the shots. I also used Syntheyes on an old Dell Laptop for a small section of another shot. For Pinky eyes, I ended up brining in 4K DPX sequences into After Effects – which was fairly interesting on the poor old MacBook! But it worked, and the shots came out OK considering…","With the grade now completed, we exported out AJA 10-bit Uncompressed RGB Quicktimes. We then used the AJA QTtoDPXTranslator to unwrap the Quicktime Files back to DPX files. As the AJA tool simply “wraps” the files – it doesn’t transcode them or anything like that, this process is really fast, although you do have to do it manually. For me, that means I have to do everything 69 times which isn’t too bad. The only annoying thing is that you have to rename all the clips again, as Color names everything sequentially, and we wanted everything named as per the bible (i.e. the EDL).","You can download the latest version on the Mac App Store here.","You can learn more and join the TestFlight beta here.","You can learn more here."]},{"l":"22nd December 2023","p":["Final Cut Pro 10.7.1 is out now!","This release includes:","Improves stability on Intel-based Mac models when using Color Wheels or Color Curves on H.264 video clips (reported on FCP Cafe here).","Fixes an issue with some default keyboard shortcuts working incorrectly on non-English keyboards.","Thanks for the fast turnaround Apple!","We'll test it over the coming days and weeks to see if there's any other undocumented changes/fixes.","Builder NLE v4.1.10 is out now with the following bug fixes:","Bug fixes for syncing the preview player with the selected text block after spliting or merging paragraphs","Bug fix for offline media warning dialog","You can download the latest version on the Mac App Store here.","Tight.

And no automatic dacking.","A podcast is my comfort zone.","A subset of an XML or an extension of XML, that is FCP XML.","Alex makes some incredible tools such as:","Alex Raccuglia is the genius behind Ulti.Media, based in Italy. He's a commercial director and software developer.","Almost everything that you can think about can be described in this XML.","And because I developed an autodacking feature for my app Ultimedia Converter and it works, it's cool, it's powerful, it's... yeah! Using artificial intelligence Firefly by Adobe I created this icon with a dack with a lot of speakers and it's beautiful.","And doing an automatic dacking for this is... it's a pain in the ass.","And I needed to do something like this and then I said to myself \"Ok, this is an app that is out since 2017.","And I said to myself \"Ok, let's try to research this as a side-side project because I'm very focused to put out on the market FCP Postcutter that will be my super big app of the 2024 because it's a super big app.","And I said to myself, you know, never accept this kind of works anymore because working with so little margins and with clients is so demanding, with an arrogant way.","And I say to myself it would be nice to understand, to learn how to send data from Final Cut Pro to my app, to my apps and then send them back.","And last, but not least, we have FxPlug.","And so I said to myself if I'll ever do an automatic dack, a version 2 of autodacking, I will use this as an icon.","And so I started doing a little research.","And then I said to myself, \"This thing is very complicated.\" Because think about a simple timeline, okay? You have a lot of dialogue.","And then recreate a very complex structure of dialogues, segments of dialogues and music segments of music to produce this unique dialogue segment and a unique music segment, add keyframes and then send it back to Final Cut Pro.","And then the music should go down and then should go up and that should go down to not interfere with the dialogue.","And then you have a background music.","And this is one of the easiest way of having a timeline.","Another significant aspect of FxPlug is its compatibility with Apple's Metal framework. This integration leverages the full power of modern Mac hardware, delivering accelerated performance and smoother playback, even with complex effects and high-resolution footage. The use of Metal also means that FxPlug plugins can harness the capabilities of the latest graphic processors, further enhancing the efficiency and speed of video editing tasks.","At its core, FxPlug enables third-party developers to create advanced effects, such as custom filters, transitions, and generators, expanding the capabilities of Final Cut Pro beyond its native features.","BeatMark Pro","Because of this, you can easily drag objects from the Final Cut Pro Browser to your Workflow Extension, and vice versa.","Because you can create a Custom Share Destination that can export roles as seperate audio files, the user would just need to export to a single Share Destination, then at the end of the export/render, you could programatically send these files to the Workflow Extension for processing. Once processing is complete, the user could drag a new project from the Workflow Extension to their Final Cut Pro Browser, which would have Compound Clips of the individual audio roles, and levels/effects applied to those compound clips.","BRAW Toolbox and Gyroflow Toolbox both use FxPlug under the hood.","But aside from that - that's really all Workflow Extensions can do. They're just a dumb window that a developer can control essentially.","But I said to myself \"Ok, let's do this some kind of side-side project while I'm working in the office of my wife.\" Doing this kind of stuff is hard.","But I totally agree with Alex in that CMTime is really hard and FCPXML can get insanely confusing.","But it will be super, super, super, super, super, super, super useful if it can work inside Final Cut Pro, take in a timeline with many dialogues, stuff and many musics and then do automatic docking on the complete timeline.","But once, a lot of time ago, before the introduction of JSON, we used XML.","But they should do this.","But Workflow Extensions are only one technology that third party Final Cut Pro developers get access to...","By having these additional tools integrated directly into the editing environment, editors can save time and effort. Tasks like searching for media, managing files, or transcribing audio can be done quickly and efficiently within Final Cut Pro.","Choose one music, you choose a lot of clips and then you can send all the stuff to Bitmark Pro to create a new timeline with the beats in sync with the music and then edit it in sync with the music and send the final result back to Final Cut Pro.","Ciao!","Cleanterview","Controlling the playhead via the API is a lot smoother and reliable than pressing virtual shortcut keys, or triggering menubar items.","CoreMelt has released CoreMelt Manager v1.1.4.","DAWFileKit is made by Steffan Andrews, who is an absolute genius.","Doing video is something like I do to force myself to look into a camera and try to do something not so ugly.","Essentially they're a way to \"trigger\" external apps once a render/export is complete - for example, this shows how Xsend Motion is triggered:","Essentially though... FxPlug is basically just Filters& Generators for Apple Motion:","Everything started because I needed to do an automatic docking.","FCP Cafe keeps track of all the available Workflow Extensions here.","FCP Cut Finder","FCP Diet 2","FCP SRT Importer 2","FCP Video Tag","FCPX AutoDuck","Final Cut Pro 10.7 has shipped (UPDATED 12/11/23) and export segmentation might speed things up for you","Final Cut Pro sends Apple Events to the third party application - and there's back and forth communication between Final Cut Pro and the third party app.","Finally going back to Alex's video...","For example, in Marker Toolbox you can drag your markers from the Workflow Extension back into your Final Cut Pro timeline as a Compound Clip (drag the green icon):","For example, last night Nguyễn Quốc Hoàng contacted me asking the following:","For example, this is how we get the \"current frame number\" in Gyroflow Toolbox and BRAW Toolbox:","For example:","From a developers perspective, a Workflow Extension is basically just a custom view that you can put whatever you like inside it.","FxPlug is a powerful plugin architecture designed by Apple, specifically tailored for Final Cut Pro and Motion.","FxPlug is a robust and versatile plugin architecture that significantly enhances the capabilities of Final Cut Pro and Motion. Its support for high-bit-depth rendering, real-time performance, integration with Apple's Metal, and customizable options make it an essential tool for video editing professionals seeking to create high-quality, creative, and visually stunning projects.","FxPlug is fairly flexible in that you can add your own custom parameters, and basically do whatever you want to the image.","Gyroflow Toolbox is open source, so you can view the source code on GitHub here.","He recently just posted this great rant:","Here's a full transcript of the video, created using Transcriber(so if there's any typos - Alex can only blame himself, haha):","Here's a look at the BRAW Toolbox Motion Template:","Here's a look at the Gyroflow Toolbox Motion Template:","Here's the solution I quickly came up with (which was posted here on the CommandPost GitHub Discussions):","Hi Chris, wanna ask if you know any app that can transfer / copy tags-metadata from original clips to trimmed clip (based on filename).","Hi there, welcome to the morning rant.","Hope this extended \"rant\" is useful! Any questions, please leave them in the Discussion below. Thanks team!","However, jumping back to Alex's video - I'd LOVE for Transcriber and BeatMark Pro to be quickly accessible from directly within Final Cut Pro.","However, one complaint I've always had is that Alex's tools don't use Workflow Extensions.","HUGE props to Dr Gregory Clarke for all the INSANE work he does with FCPXML - again, another absolute genius. It's a LOT of work - just look at how many updates XtoCC and SendToX have had over the years!","I absolutely love all of Alex's tool - I have personally bought them all, and use them all the time - especially Transcriber, BeatMark Pro and FCP SRT Importer 2.","I don't do this because I'm not a YouTuber, I'm a podcaster.","I don't know how to do this.","I don't know how to translate this into English but me and my wife didn't sleep almost anything and yesterday was a strange day because I couldn't go to the office.","I don't know, sometimes I think that FCP is a die-hard platform but I keep it to myself because I base all my business on Final Cut Pro.","I don't know.","I expect this is an upcoming version of Final Cut Pro but I'm working with an automatic dacking feature since 10.4 and now we have 10.7.","I highlight my commitment to this project as a side venture while prioritizing the release of FCP Pause Cutter in 2024. Despite the challenges and doubts, I share my progress on Twitter, showcasing a potential icon for the app. I express skepticism about the feasibility of creating a seamless and efficient automatic ducking feature but remain dedicated to personal research in this area.","I know that I treat this show as a podcast because you know this should be a YouTube show but I talked to this strange camera on my car as I will talk to a microphone to a simple microphone doing a podcast and that's a problem because this is not a podcast but I treat it as a podcast because I'm a podcaster since 2011 and so after something like more than a thousand episodes I recorded sometimes even longer than one hour so this is my comfort zone.","I know that it will be more, more, more interesting doing this as an audiophile but you know what, I'm trying to experiment.","I like coffee and then we took a lot of coffee yesterday because we needed to stay awake.","I personally have a LOT of Workflow Extensions installed:","I spent something like one hour in the office with my wife in my wife's office trying to produce something but I couldn't focus on anything and so I started doing a little research and considered that I spent one hour but it was segmented in maybe three parts because twice we had to go to the bar and take some coffee.","I think that Bitmark Pro can work like this.","I took one day off because you have to do a lot of things related to my son.","I totally think that Transcriber and BeatMark Pro could easily be ported to a Workflow Extension and improved to make it simpler and easier for Final Cut Pro editors.","I tried to do some research because I created many apps that communicate with Final Cut Pro in the sense of passing data to Final Cut Pro.","I tried to understand if there's some library, some framework on GitHub to parse the FCP XML because Final Cut Pro communicates with other apps via an XML.","I'd love to be able to just drag in an music track from the Browser into a Workflow Extension, do the processing, then drag the clip back into my timeline with markers added.","I'm currently building a new app called Metaburner Pro which is using FxPlug on Swift:","I'm trying to do this as a personal research, to do dacking with maybe one or two, let's keep it simple, one or two musics and a bunch of clips in the main timeline without compounds, without synchronized clips or without multicam.","I've also started attempting to port this example to a more modern Swift - but it's early days. You can track my progress here.","I've never personally played too much with Audio Units, as it's a GIANT rabbit hole, as you can see from the documentation.","I've never personally used DAWFileKit, but I intend to play soon.","I've uploaded the Objective-C example here.","If you haven't already subscribed, Alex has been doing an super fun and entertaining YouTube series, called The Morning Rant.","If you haven't already, you can read his INCREDIBLE Developers Case Study about Transcriber on FCP Cafe here.","Improved stability and robustness when using multiple instances of the plugin.","In BRAW Toolbox once you've imported all your BRAW footage, you can drag an Event from the Workflow Extension back into your Library:","In fact, we decided NOT to use a Workflow Extension for the CommandPost HUD - because there was really no advantage:","In Italy, Espresso is something like a religion and we like coffee.","In terms of bringing FCPX AutoDuck to a Workflow Extension, that's definitely possible too, but as Alex explains, you'd basically need to recreate Final Cut Pro's entire audio pipeline to mimic what Final Cut Pro does in FCPX AutoDuck.","Inside my app I have to recreate the structure of the timeline with all the segments because you don't take a full clip without an in point or an out point.","It analyzes the clusters of the talking and then starts lowering the music before the talking.","It can do this because it works on files and not in real time.","It does automatic docking outside Final Cut Pro because you load the speaker track and then the audio, the music track and then it produces a new timeline with the audio, with the music track, with keyframes that lower the music and raise it up to make automatic docking.","It provides a wide range of customizable parameters for each plugin, giving users complete control over the look and feel of the effects. This level of customization allows for greater creative freedom, enabling editors to achieve unique visual styles tailored to their specific project needs.","It still sells today because it's useful.","It works.","It's 2023 and everybody should not use XML anymore.","It's a great video, and it's inspired me to reply in more depth, here at FCP Cafe...","It's a very huge and complex file.","It's almost impossible.","It's beautiful that today we have JSON because XML is a pain in the I know what and you know what.","It's in Italian, sorry for everybody who doesn't understand Italian.","It's not an automatic docking that works in one direction because it goes backwards.","It's not complex, it's almost impossible.","It's one of my first apps I ever developed.","It's slightly complex - because you need to communicate between the Custom Share Destination and the Workflow Extension, but certainly achievable.","It's something like an old kind of file because today everything is done by a JSON.","It's something like it goes backward in time.","It's something that hurts my stomach and then I need a lot of malox to survive.","It's super powerful.","It's very, very hard and that's the reason nobody ever done an automatic dacking inside Final Cut Pro because it's hard.","It's very, very hard.","It's worth a read to hear more details about how to speed up exports with simultaneous processing in Final Cut Pro for Mac.","MotionVFX has released mFilmLook v2.0.6 with the following fixes:","Move the Playhead Position","My first app was FCPX AutoDock.","My metadata, finder tags are lost.","My problem is, after the project is finish and I trimmed all the project video files into a smaller segments to archive.","Now Bitmark works all in one direction.","Now I have to run in the rain in my car towards Milan because I have a pre-production meeting for a very very very super strong low-budget product production that I don't want to do.","Observe Changes in the Final Cut Pro Timeline","Ok, so you have Workflow Extensions, Custom Share Destinations, FCPXML and FxPlug.","Ok, that's it, now I run to this meeting and cross your finger for me and I'll keep you updated with the things that I will discover in my research trying to understand how Final Cut Pro thinks using XML.","Okay so yesterday was a very strange day because the night before yesterday I couldn't sleep because my son had a little problem trying to sleep and so it was a blank night.","Okay, there are a lot of stuff like this.","One of the key advantages of FxPlug is its support for high-bit-depth rendering, ensuring that the effects and transitions maintain the highest image quality without degradation. This is particularly important for professionals who require precision and high fidelity in their video projects. Additionally, FxPlug offers real-time performance, a crucial aspect for efficient workflow, allowing editors and motion graphic designers to preview effects without the need for time-consuming rendering.","One of the things I really LOVE about CommandPost is how quick and easy it is to build automation tools.","One potential workaround could be to create a Custom Share Destination, allowing you to export AIFFs of dialogue, music and effects separately, and then the Workflow Extension uses these mix downs for the processing, and then applies the audio adjustments to a Compound Clip of all the audio clips in that role.","Originally developed by Reuel Kim and it is no longer maintained. Pipeline Neo was created as a spin-off project to fix and update the library when necessary.","Pipeline Neo is a Swift framework for working with FCPXML files easily.","Sadly, Custom Share Destinations are terribly documented.","Scott Simmons has updated his ProVideo Coalition article:","Smart Video Splitter","So doing a lot of stuff and I didn't have much time to focus on anything.","So I start trying to understand if there's someone who developed something like a parser for doing this.","So I think this is a some kind of a joke because I'm quite sure that I will never do an app that can do this in a seamless way, in an efficient way, in some way, because it's too hard to produce an automatic dacking.","So the music starts and then after 10 seconds of music, after the introduction, you have the first dialogue.","So the workflow works on my app and then after computation, decision making and something like this, the final work can be done, should be done and must be done in Final Cut Pro.","So today I want to talk about what happened yesterday and because it can be interesting for everybody who's trying to understand why something happens and something doesn't happen in the realm of a Final Cut Pro.","So when there's someone speaking or talking, the music goes down and then after the speech, after the talking, the music returns up in a very elegant and seamless way.","Something like a complete and total description of what happens in the timeline, in the event, in the library.","Subtitles Extractor","Thankfully, I happened to have a very old Apple sample project saved in my backups that demonstrates how this works - which has since sadly disappeared from the Internet.","That's all for today and as always I say... Ciao! Oh, remember to comment this video, like this video, subscribe to the channel, blah blah blah, all the stuff that all the good YouTubers do.","The interface is old, maybe ugly.","The main focus of the video is on my exploration of integrating automatic ducking into Final Cut Pro. I reflect on my past app, FCPX AutoDuck, and express the desire to enhance its functionality by making it work within Final Cut Pro. I detail the complexities of the task, involving parsing FCP XML and dealing with intricate timelines, nested timelines, and various editing techniques. I acknowledge the difficulty of achieving automatic ducking within Final Cut Pro, emphasizing the absence of this feature even in the latest versions.","The music goes up and then it fades out.","The video concludes with a mention of a pre-production meeting in Milan and my reluctance to take on low-budget, demanding projects. I express concerns about the future of Final Cut Pro, hinting at a possible decline.","The YouTube description says:","Then the dialogue finishes and then the music goes on for other 10 seconds.","There are a lot of apps that work inside of Final Cut Pro or using Final Cut Pro data and so they can take data from Final Cut Pro, computate them and then send them back to Final Cut.","There are third party frameworks for dealing with FCPXML too...","There is a diverse range of applications, and can vary widely in function, including tools for media asset management, stock footage libraries, music services, transcription services, and more. This variety allows editors to tailor their workflow according to their specific needs.","There's a ton, a ton, a super ton of way of doing a single simple timeline, a common timeline, a normal timeline that you will do in your project.","There's also Custom Share Destinations, which is something I've been digging into deeply recently, to help out Vigneswaran Rajkumar for his exciting upcoming app, Marker Data.","There's also DAWFileKit- a Swift library for reading and writing common import/export file formats between popular DAW and video editing applications with the ability to convert between formats.","They provide seamless integration as they appear as panels within the Final Cut Pro interface. This means editors can use third-party tools and services without leaving Final Cut Pro, maintaining a smooth and uninterrupted editing workflow. Their window position also gets saved in any saved Workspaces.","Think about it, even Apple didn't do an automatic dacking for Final Cut Pro because there's so much you have to understand, to learn, to figure out.","This is a very simple timeline.","This is all possible, and somewhat easy to do.","This is just a video podcast.","This is the perfect problem for something like CommandPost to solve, via it's powerful Lua scripting.","This Workflow Extension is super simple - it's just in Objective-C, and uses web-sockets to communicate back and forth between the Workflow Extension and CommandPost.","Tight.

Richard Taylor is VERY happy.","The only two Command Editor items between Final Cut Pro 10.6.10 and 10.7.0 are Collapse to Connected Storyline and Timeline Scrolling.","The relink progress bar has been improved, so that the progress bar doesn't \"block\" the Relink panel interface.

So far some other users have been able to reproduce this, so it looks like a bug sadly.","This feature still works great on Final Cut Pro 10.7, and can be handy when you want to quickly match back to a Keyword Collection, rather than an Event.","This has been reported to Apple many times over the years.

As in 2023, we’ll be visiting Apple Park as part of the 2024 conference.","With the home base back at the Juniper Hotel, we once again have a bar in the same building as all the talks, and it’s also where most of us will be staying. With many restaurant options in easy walking distance, we should have many more chances for casual and unplanned hangouts with speakers, attendees and special guests.","Dates have shifted a little later this year, and it’s being held from 13-15 November 2024. As in 2023, we’ll kick off with Apple Day; a keynote, then a visit to Apple Park where we will be shown something. Since Spatial Video support has been promised this year, I’d expect there’s a fair chance we’ll see it in action at the Summit, presumably along with other new features, and the latest Macs and other gear in the demo room.","(An aside: is Spatial a big deal? It will be, eventually. I’m a big fan of the Apple Vision Pro today, and if you’ve not tried it yet, definitely do try one out. Yes, it’s expensive, but the experience it brings is unlike anything else, and it will become cheaper eventually. Craving something new? This is it.)","If you largely live online, or (like me) on the other side of the planet, it’s worth getting together with a bunch of like-minded editors every now and again. Online is OK, and yes, you can learn new things there, but food, drink, and proximity to actual people can’t be replaced. I won’t be the only Australian there either — Chris Hocking, the kind and benevolent person behind this site and CommandPost, is coming again this year. Be sure to say hi, and if you’re not already supporting CommandPost, buy him a drink!","After Apple Day, we’ll still have two days of talks, plus panels, special guests, and a tip show. I’m giving two talks this year, teaching you how to Make Useful Editing Tools with Motion on Thursday, and then on Friday 3D, Spatial and Immersive Video. The full program is here and there are some great talks scheduled. I’m personally very keen to learn how the Fitness+ team use FCP, to hear what Strada’s Michael Cioni has to say, and for the chat with Tyler Stalman before the closed-doors-no-recording-gloves-off Q&A with the FCP team.","If you’re an FCP editor, and you travel for just one video event a year, I think this is more fun than NAB — and it’s all about the people.

In previous years (2015-2019) we visited the old Apple campus, but this time we get to go to the shiny new one. There have been Global Summits held online, but they’re absolutely not the same.

It’s not because it’s the best in-person FCP event of the year, though it is. It’s not even because you get to visit Apple and talk to the FCP team. Nope, because it’s the best place to make connections in the Final Cut Pro world, and because we haven’t had one of these since 2019.

They have worked very hard for over a decade on making Final Cut Pro better and better. This open letter is aimed at the executives who set the priorities of the Final Cut Pro development team and the Apple managers whose policies limit the public marketing of Final Cut Pro to a couple of website updates a year and some mentions in Apple keynotes about how much faster Apple hardware is getting.","The letter’s signatories aim was to encourage Apple to make a new commitment to the professional TV and filmmaking industry. They believe that would potentially benefit filmmakers the world over regardless of their personal NLE preferences.","Competition is a positive. Apple has demonstrated a willingness to swing big. The very fact that they are not exclusively tethered to our industry allows them to try things others likely can’t. We hope you’ll support us in encouraging one of the heaviest hitters in media and technology to more forcefully push the boundaries of all of our tools.","They gathered some comments about Final Cut Pro and Apple:","Galliano Olivier, editor of ‘Marianne,’ a French TV drama series edited in Final Cut and distributed by Netflix says “In France, it is extremely difficult to get permission to edit TV with Final Cut Pro. You can’t use it without fighting producers, directors, post-production supervisors, sound editors, etc...”","Knut Hake BFS, editor of ‘Blood Red Sky,’ a feature film distributed by Netflix and edited using Final Cut Pro commented, “I think it would make a big difference for workflow consultants, systems integrators and third-party developers if there was a public Beta program for Final Cut Pro. Apple already do it for iOS, macOS and even Safari. It would make Final Cut more reliable and make it much easier for people to fit Final Cut into their plans for the future.”","Steven Sanders, editor in chief of of the Fox TV series ‘War of the Worlds’ season 3 said “The two main reasons why I am often not allowed to chose my favourite editing application, which is Final Cut Pro are: 1. Collaboration! Editing big productions needs collaboration. Different users have to be able to access the same library at the same time. There is no way around this. Avid Media Composer does it and even DaVinci Resolve does it. Apple still targets the single user. They have to change that. That will change everything. 2. Many professionals do not know how Final Cut works. They are afraid of it, even regard is as ‘iMovie Pro.’ I hear that all the time in my business. This perception really has to change.\"","Vanessa E. Brogna, assistant editor of ‘Bridgerton’ one of the top TV shows on Netflix commented: “Final Cut Pro is my favorite NLE. It's an absolute powerhouse and I feel the most creative and productive. Doing one step in Final Cut is about 3-4 in other NLEs. However, the real magic of Final Cut is its free form style of editing.

Known for its powerful capabilities and intuitive interface, Final Cut Pro has come a long way since its inception. Today, let's explore this extraordinary journey of innovation and technological progression."]},{"l":"The Genesis of an Idea","p":["The story begins with Randy Ubillos, a name widely associated with the creation of the first three versions of Adobe Premiere Pro. His team's knack for developing professional video editing programs was then recognized by Macromedia, leading them to embark on a new project, KeyGrip.","KeyGrip was a more professional video editing program, built on Apple's QuickTime, which was intended for Macromedia's portfolio. However, due to licensing issues with Truevision, and Macromedia's shift towards web market solutions, the project hit a roadblock. Macromedia decided to sell its desktop applications, including the embryonic KeyGrip."]},{"l":"Birth of the Final Cut Pro","p":["In a pivotal year of 1998, KeyGrip was renamed Final Cut, and showcased as a 0.9 alpha version at the NAB Show. With no buyers, Apple, recognizing the potential of the software, stepped in and acquired the development team.","Contrary to expectations, Apple continued the development work, despite the lack of a buyer. The team made significant enhancements to the software, such as adding FireWire support, and finally, in 1999, it was released as Final Cut Pro at the NAB show."]},{"l":"Building a Community","p":["To ensure that Final Cut Pro received solid support from the start, Apple adopted an aggressive marketing and training strategy. They joined forces with DVcreators.net to launch a training disc, \"Final Cut Pro PowerStart\", and hosted hundreds of free and paid seminars worldwide. This strategy significantly boosted the software's early market visibility and success.","During this time, Final Cut Pro also capitalized on the decline of Adobe Premiere in the Mac market. A strategic trade-in program in 2003 allowed Adobe Premiere users to switch to Final Cut Express for free or avail of a hefty discount on Final Cut Pro."]},{"l":"Pioneering Broadcast Quality","p":["A defining factor in the success of Final Cut Pro was the robust QuickTime platform, particularly its support for new DV cameras connected via FireWire. The software found its application in the production of the first fully broadcast quality, globally distributed TV show, Women of Wrestling in 2000. Networks, such as Oxygen, also adopted the software to produce shows like SheCommerce.","By 2003, Final Cut Pro was credited for facilitating the production of the controversial film \"PlayCouples, A New Era of Swinging\". The software demonstrated its reliability during the film rendering, and this positive experience led to more endorsements from industry professionals. Such endorsements boosted its acceptance as a professional editing tool and culminated in a Primetime Emmy Engineering Award for its influence on the television industry in 2002."]},{"l":"The Evolution of Final Cut Pro","p":["Final Cut Pro continued to evolve, with the 4th version in 2003, introducing new applications such as Compressor, LiveType, and Soundtrack for advanced editing needs. Over time, the software strengthened its support for various video formats and integrated with additional tools to provide a comprehensive editing solution.","By 2006, Apple stopped selling Final Cut Pro as a standalone product, making it available only as part of the Final Cut Studio bundle. It also introduced the universal binary version, enhancing the software's flexibility and performance.","Subsequent versions, Final Cut Pro 6 and 7, introduced in 2007 and 2009 respectively, brought more functionalities and integrations. Despite its growing capabilities, the software remained a 32-bit application until Final Cut Pro 7."]},{"i":"final-cut-pro-x-a-revolution-in-the-editing-world","l":"Final Cut Pro X: A Revolution in the Editing World","p":["In 2011, Apple launched a major new iteration of its popular video editing software - Final Cut Pro X. This version represented a significant departure from its predecessors, bringing both praise and criticism for its novel approach."]},{"l":"The Launch and Initial Response","p":["The launch of Final Cut Pro X(also known as FCPX or FCP 10) in June 2011, stirred up quite a controversy within the industry. The significant changes implemented by Apple shook many long-time users. Some of the main points of contention were the lack of backward compatibility with projects from previous versions and the initial absence of features like multi-cam editing and the ability to edit tape-based media.","Notably, there was also a transition in the distribution model, as Apple decided to make the software available only via download through the Mac App Store. This change proved challenging for mass enterprise deployment.","To gain an idea of the extent of the initial backlash, you can watch Conan O'Brien's satirical response on his talk show."]},{"l":"Behind the Scenes","p":["Phil Pan on Alex4D's Facebook Group, from the development team reveals that much of the advanced work from the core Shake team during this time was focused on the Helium renderer, a technology that is still central to Apple's Pro Apps today.","Interestingly, Phil indicated that management was more invested in projects such as Motion and Aperture that resonated with Steve Jobs and less in Shake. During this time, Apple acquired French mathematician Christophe Souchard's Senso technology, an advanced image scaling and frame-rate conversion tool using motion vector estimation.","At Apple, Souchard’s skills impressed management so much that his position was titled \"Applied Magic.\" He contributed to the development of next-generation prototypes, introducing methods using partial differential equations. However, due to Apple's policy against releasing compute-intensive software, much of this work never saw the light of day.","The shift in Apple's focus towards mass-market and mobile devices during the final years of Steve Jobs' leadership had a profound impact on the engineering efforts in high-end imaging worldwide."]},{"l":"Rising from the Ashes","p":["Despite the tumultuous start, Apple stood firm, continuously refining and improving FCPX. Through free updates, many of the missing features were reintroduced, and new ones were added.","A significant contribution was the Magnetic Timeline, which allowed for fluid, flexible editing, simplifying the process of exploring story ideas. Additionally, the introduction of Compound Clips further streamlined complex projects.","A major leap forward came with the new 64-bit architecture and GPU utilization. This allowed editors to work with larger frame sizes, higher frame rates, and more effects — all in real-time."]},{"l":"The Current State of Final Cut Pro X","p":["Today, Final Cut Pro X has matured into a powerful and efficient editing platform.

In this post, we will explore the best practices for using Final Cut Pro for long-form feature film editing. This will ensure your workflow is optimized, your output is professional, and your editing process is efficient."]},{"l":"Organise Your Workflow","p":["Create a Sound Workflow Structure:","Before starting the editing process, it's crucial to establish a well-structured workflow. In the context of long-form feature films, this often involves breaking down your project into scenes or sequences, each with its own dedicated project file within Final Cut Pro. This allows for focused editing and simplifies collaboration, as different editors can work on different scenes simultaneously.","Consistent Naming Conventions:","Consistency is key to smooth editing, especially for large projects like feature films. Use consistent naming conventions for your clips, sequences, and projects. This will make it much easier to locate and identify specific assets as your project grows.","Leverage Metadata:","Final Cut Pro allows users to input and leverage metadata for clips, such as scene number, shot number, take number, and more. You can also add custom metadata. Using metadata effectively can greatly enhance organization and searchability within your project."]},{"l":"Understanding RAM Requirements","p":["One crucial aspect of achieving optimal performance with Final Cut Pro revolves around understanding and addressing the software's RAM requirements. In particular, running FCP on Apple silicon (Apple's own line of processors) requires careful consideration. As all new Macs now use Apple silicon, it's important to get this right.","Apple Silicon and Unified Memory:","Unlike traditional computer architecture, where the CPU and GPU have separate memory (RAM and VRAM), Apple Silicon uses a unified memory architecture. This means that the CPU and GPU share the same pool of memory. As a result, your RAM has to serve the needs of both processing and graphics tasks.","For long-form feature film editing in Final Cut Pro, this has several implications:","Greater RAM demands: Feature films require handling high-resolution footage, multiple video tracks, complex effects, and color grading, among others. These tasks can put significant strain on your RAM.","Multitasking needs: If you are using other demanding apps alongside Final Cut Pro, such as other creative apps, your RAM needs will be even higher.","Importance of choosing the right Mac model: When buying an Apple Silicon Mac, you can't upgrade the RAM later, unlike with some previous Intel-based Mac models. So, it's important to consider your RAM needs upfront.","How Much RAM Do You Need?","As a baseline, Apple recommends a minimum of 8GB RAM for Final Cut Pro:","4GB of RAM (8GB recommended for 4K editing, 3D titles and 360° video editing)","However, for long-form feature film editing, you'll likely need more.","16GB RAM: This should be considered the minimum for professional work, such as editing feature films. It will allow for smooth editing of 4K footage and some flexibility for multitasking.","32GB RAM or higher: If you're working with 6K, 8K, or multiple streams of 4K video, or if you use lots of effects, consider 32GB or even 64GB of RAM. These larger RAM options will also provide greater flexibility for heavy multitasking and future-proof your setup as software demands increase over time.","At LateNite we're primarily using MacBook Pro's (2021 16-inch, Apple M1 Max, 64GB RAM, 3TB SSD), and they're rock solid.","While the unified memory architecture in Apple Silicon offers advantages such as increased efficiency and speed, it also places greater demands on your system's RAM. Therefore, when planning to use Final Cut Pro for long-form feature film editing on an Apple Silicon Mac, consider opting for at least 16GB of RAM, or even 32GB or 64GB for more complex projects and improved future-proofing. Remember, it's better to have a bit more RAM than you need, rather than not having enough when you need it most."]},{"l":"Understanding Drive Requirements","p":["An often underappreciated factor that can significantly impact your video editing workflow is the type of storage you use. When it comes to editing in Final Cut Pro, especially long-form feature film editing, opting for a Solid State Drive (SSD) over a traditional Hard Disk Drive (HDD) can make a significant difference.","Choosing the Right Storage for Final Cut Pro: SSDs Over Spinning Disks:","External SSDs: High-capacity external SSDs have become increasingly affordable. They can be an excellent solution for expanding your storage space without having to replace your internal drive.","Faster Read/Write Speeds: SSDs offer dramatically faster data transfer rates compared to HDDs. This means that video files can be read, copied, and written much quicker, which is critical when dealing with large, high-resolution video files typical in feature film editing.","Greater Reliability: Because they have no moving parts, SSDs are less likely to suffer mechanical failures, making them more reliable than HDDs. This is critical when working on important projects like feature films, where data loss can be disastrous.","HDDs, or hard disk drives, are traditional storage devices that use mechanical, moving parts to read and write data. They are made up of spinning disks, hence the name \"spinning disks.\" HDDs are typically slower and less reliable (due to potential mechanical failure), but they usually offer more storage space for a lower price.","Improved Multitasking: SSDs are better at handling multiple tasks simultaneously, such as playing back multiple video streams, which is common in multicam editing or when working with complex timelines.","In 2023, you should definitely be removing slow spinning disks from your editing workflow entirely. (You might still choose to use them for backup.)","Manage Storage Space: SSDs typically have less space than HDDs. Be diligent about deleting rendered files, proxies, and other temporary files that Final Cut Pro generates during editing to free up space.","On the other hand, SSDs, or solid-state drives, are storage devices that use flash memory (similar to your smartphone or USB thumb drive) to store data. Because there are no moving parts, SSDs are significantly faster and more reliable than HDDs. However, they are also typically more expensive per gigabyte.","Practical Tips for Using SSDs with Final Cut Pro:","Quicker Rendering and Exporting: The faster speeds of SSDs also translate to quicker rendering and exporting times in Final Cut Pro. This is particularly important in a professional setting, where time is often of the essence.","The Advantages of SSDs for Final Cut Pro","Understanding HDDs vs SSDs:","While HDDs may be more cost-effective in terms of raw storage space, the speed, and reliability benefits offered by SSDs make them a superior choice for use with Final Cut Pro, especially for demanding tasks like long-form feature film editing.","While SSDs are clearly advantageous for video editing, it's important to use them strategically to balance performance and cost:","Working Drive: If you can't afford a large SSD, consider at least getting a smaller one to use as a 'working drive'. You can store your current project on the SSD for fast performance, then move finished projects to an HDD for long-term storage."]},{"l":"Storage Locations","p":["To keep library sizes as small as possible (which makes backing them up and sharing them easier), we always recommend keeping your media and cache external to the library.","Storing your media inside the library is an option for solo editors who do not work collaboratively, but external media offers more power and flexibility."]},{"l":"Library Organisation","p":["Each event in Final Cut Pro is its own Core Data database.","You can learn more about the library structure here.","Given this, we recommend splitting up your media into multiple events, rather than putting all your media in a single event powered by a single database.","We recommend using emojis in event names, to differentiate the list of events more clearly.","For example, this is from a 5 x 30min broadcast television special:","You can learn more about this workflow here.","Here's an example of a library for a job where all the user interface designs were build in Final Cut Pro for a game:","Here's an example of a library for a basic corporate edit:","If you're working on a very heavy feature film, your current feature length timeline should be in its own event."]},{"l":"Avoid Snapshots","p":["Snapshots are the devil. You're much better off using something like PostLab.","When you duplicate a project as a snapshot, Final Cut Pro embeds copies of compound or multicam “parent” clips in the duplicate, so any changes to other instances of those clips do not affect the duplicate.","Generally speaking, when you're working with a long-form project, all of your media is generally a Multicam Clip (because you're syncing with external audio) — so each time you create a Snapshot you're essentially creating a duplicate of all the clips metadata.","When you create a Snapshot, Final Cut Pro generates copies of your used clips and any connected clips, including titles, effects, compound clips, and multicam clips. All of these elements contribute to the overall size of the Snapshot.","While Snapshots can be a valuable tool for preserving your project's state at a specific point in time, excessive use can have a significant impact on your library size and performance. This can in turn affect Final Cut Pro's performance.","An overly large Final Cut Pro library can lead to several issues:","Reduced System Performance: A bloated library can slow down Final Cut Pro's performance, making it less responsive and lengthening render and export times.","Limited Storage Space: If your library size becomes excessively large, it can occupy a substantial portion of your available storage space. This can be particularly problematic if you're working with limited storage capacities, such as on a laptop with a small SSD.","Back-up Challenges: Large libraries can also be more challenging to back up, as they require more storage space and more time to copy to your backup drive."]},{"l":"Edit with Proxy Media","p":["Long-form editing, particularly at high resolutions (4K, 8K), can be quite demanding on system resources. To ensure a smooth editing experience, Final Cut Pro offers a 'proxy workflow'. This allows you to create lower-resolution versions (proxies) of your footage for editing. Once the editing is complete, you can easily switch back to the original high-resolution files for final output."]},{"l":"Use the Magnetic Timeline","p":["The Magnetic Timeline is one of the unique features of Final Cut Pro. It offers a trackless approach to editing, allowing clips to automatically slide into place and avoid clip collisions and sync problems. This is particularly useful in feature film editing, where you may be juggling hundreds or even thousands of clips."]},{"l":"Master Your Tools and Shortcuts","p":["Final Cut Pro offers a wide range of tools for tasks such as trimming, re-timing, and applying effects. Mastering these tools, along with the keyboard shortcuts for commonly used functions, can significantly speed up your editing process."]},{"i":"leverage-final-cut-pros-multicam-editing","l":"Leverage Final Cut Pro's Multicam Editing","p":["If your film includes footage from multiple cameras, Final Cut Pro's Multicam editing feature can be a major time-saver. It allows you to sync up to 64 angles of video footage using audio waveforms, timecode, or markers. Once synced, you can cut between angles in real time while watching the multicam viewer."]},{"i":"use-compound-clips-and-roles-for-organisation--efficiency","l":"Use Compound Clips and Roles for Organisation & Efficiency","p":["Compound Clips allow you to bundle separate clips together into a single clip, which can then be edited as one. This is useful for managing complex sequences or visual effects compositions.","Roles in Final Cut Pro allow you to label and organize different types of audio such as dialogue, effects, and music. When exporting, you can output multiple versions of your mix (such as stereo and surround) or a file with separated roles for further mixing or mastering."]},{"l":"Keep Regular Backups","p":["Given the scale and importance of feature film projects, it's essential to keep regular backups of your work. Final Cut Pro's built-in backup tool makes this process easy and automatic. Backups can be accessed from the File > Open Library > From Backup command, but they can also be found in the Finder, in Home > Movies > Final Cut Backups > LIBRARYNAME."]},{"l":"Conclusion","p":["Final Cut Pro is a powerful tool for long-form feature film editing, but like any tool, its effectiveness depends on how it's used. By adopting these best practices, you can ensure that your editing process is efficient, your workflow is smooth, and the end result is a feature film of professional quality. Remember, the key to successful film editing is a combination of technical skill, organization, creativity, and storytelling.","Want to contribute?

With a little help from CommandPost, Sam and Knut can create a keyword for each line of dialogue, then attach these keywords to specific parts of each shot, and then gather all the shots for each specific line of dialogue in a custom keyword collection. It’s not quite the same as Avid’s ScriptSync, but it accomplishes similar goals.","Knut Hake (editor) and Sam Pluemacher (assistant editor) have been behind a few Netflix films now — all in German, and directed by Peter Thorwarth. There’s 2021’s Blood Red Sky, 2023's Blood and Gold, and the freshly released Sixty Minutes, out now.","Lastly, if you’re considering using FCP to cut a feature for Netflix, it’s actually possible. You’ll need to prove that you know your workflow as well as Knut and Sam do, and you should probably check out Knut’s Notion workflow for feature film editing.","Many thanks to Chris Hocking for making this workflow possible in CommandPost.","Many thanks to Knut and Sam, and congratulations on your repeated success!","Next, automatically assemble all those clips, sorted by timecode into a fresh timeline — a dailies stringout, in order of shooting. CommandPost’s Auto Sequence Toolbox does this trick, and was developed specifically for Knut and Sam to support this workflow.","Now, you’ll have a Keyword Collection for every line of dialog, numbered in order, with good takes marked as favorites and bad takes rejected. Keywords and Ratings are a fantastic advantage of using Final Cut Pro, and CommandPost can help you to use your script to create those keywords quickly.","Start with Sync-N-Link X from Intelligent Assistance. This tool can batch-sync a day’s worth of jam-synced audio and video clips, and it’s a big time saver here.","That dailies timeline now has all the different takes of each scene, numbered and waiting to be tagged with the day’s scripts. Manual keywording would be very time consuming, so use CommandPost again. First, the lines in the script will be placed into titles, and then, those titles will be placed above each of the shots, to match each line exactly.","The titles are set to become keywords, but you can also create titles named FAVORITE or REJECT to apply those ratings too. Multiple titles can be placed atop the same clip; they’ll all turn into keywords or ratings.","These films were all cut in Final Cut Pro, and made use of CommandPost to help the process along.","This is, however, not a text-recognition system, there’s no AI involved, and it’s not text-based editing. In a script-first workflow, you want to organise the clips based on the script, even if there’s improvisation.","Timing and positioning these titles is the only manual part of the process, but it’s not difficult to duplicate a storyline with titles from one scene to another take, then perform minor retiming on the duplicate titles.","To get started, head to the CommandPost Toolbox, choose Titles to Keywords, and look in the lower half of the panel, called Create Titles from Text. Paste in all the script lines that you want to generate titles for, and CommandPost will automatically number these lines, in order, with an optional prefix and suffix, then send these titles to Final Cut Pro.","When it’s all complete, head back to the Titles to Keywords toolbox and use the top half of the panel to create a new Event with Keywords.","Written by Iain Anderson."]},{"l":"Discuss this page"}],[{"i":"blood--gold","l":"Blood & Gold","p":["Final Cut Pro to After Effects VFX Workflow","Blood & Gold premiered on Netflix on Friday May 26th 2023.

Therefore I was looking for tools that would allow for quick pre-visualization turnovers once Knut and Peter finished sequences that I could start working on.","I found Ximport AE by Automatic Duck on FxFactory which makes the process of sending plates or rough layouts as easy as exporting a fcpxml and importing it into After Effects.","Once a sequence is ready to be worked on, I will create compound clips for our VFX shots and name them accordingly - e.g. \"BAG_001-0010\". Compound clips are great for VFX shots, because any changes inside the compound clip will automatically be reflected in all instances of that compound clip. I will usually add 24 frames of handles to each VFX shot as it gives Knut some flexibility in the editing process.","The compound clips will also show up in your browser and in order to get these layouts over to After Effects, you simply select all shots and export a fcpxml.","Over in After Effects you select \"Import... > Ximport AE...\" and start the import process. This only takes a few seconds and all your compound clips will be imported as Compositions right away. You will also find the original media files next to those. There's a few settings in the import dialogue, but I mostly keep them at default. As Ximport AE references the original media files, you can always adjust the length of any clip in your AE Composition. This is super helpful and an added benefit compared to working with exported/rendered clips.","Open your Composition and you will find all your layers inside, as well as a marker showing you any effect that was applied in Final Cut Pro. Not only does it preserve the layers and timing of your shots, but it will also import the audio of your Synchronized/Multicam clips. This was very helpful on this project, because there were a lot of muzzle flashes that needed to fit to the sound layout.","After organizing and checking all my imported Comps I could quickly start working on the pre-visualizations. Here's a few examples:","Once the work on a shot was done, I'd color-label the shots in After Effects. Using Templates and presets I was quickly able to add the shots to the Render Queue and export them to a pre-defined folder.","Back in Final Cut Pro I would import the shots and assign them to our \"VFX-Previz\" role. All shots then go into their respective compound clip. The compound clips also act as a reference for which clips have been used for a specific composition. This is extremely helpful once you need to turnover the shots to your VFX vendor.","It also allows me to add versions to the compound clips and easily toggle them on or off directly in the timeline without searching for them in the browser.","Whenever there were editing changes or shots changed significantly, I would simply export a new fcpxml (name them by date or version number) and import them into After Effects. Ximport AE will create new folders for each import which makes it very organized and lets you keep track of each iteration.","That's about it.

I now have all assets I need to proceed:","Fast forward to the interesting part of delivery preparation: The simple roles setup is enough to immediately export different assets such as clean-feed or M&E (music and effects) tracks.","Firstly, I of course finished the Director’s Cut, also known as ‘cinema version’. The original 23,98p UHD (4K 16:9) material was edited in a 2K flat 1998x1080 native 24p project (audio set to stereo). FCP working its magic already, the frame rate conform happens automatically and without hick-ups in the background. the extra resolution gave more details when scaled down and noise was reduced. I also had more room for stabilization, framing and ‘ken-burnsing’ that way.","Organization: As commonly done, I created events for corresponding steps in post-production. Through the use of ‘Folder Names as Keywords’ during import I could start editing right away because we took the time of naming folders when copying media to the source drive. I could easily find people, location and topics that way. My process now starts which is not using any typical media management methods besides favorite ranges or in/out points in the browser. I like to assemble groups of clips in the project with gaps in between to move parts around creatively.","Screenshot 1A","Screenshot 1A: The original 24p cinema timeline. Note the clearly assigned roles: For video there are two different types of archive material (different sources) which do not have any other purpose other than source referencing (aka ‘clippings’).

Note that the ‘titles’ role is missing. And the most important part is audio tracks (or ‘stems’ in this case), which are created easily that way. I will end up with 4 files, 3 of which being audio, separated into: Speech (original dialogue and extra recorded narration/voice-over), Effects (all the ambience, atmospherics or SFX I placed manually or were recorded on location) and Music. Music & Effects are stereo tracks, Speech is mono, so a total of 6 channels. It should be clear now which purpose this will server a little later on: A rough, home-made 5.1 Surround up-mix from pure stereo sources for a better cinematic experience. Last but not least: All subtitles/captions as separate SRT files per language (English and German in my case).","Screenshot 3","Screenshot 3: In a new surround (!) project I assemble the just exported stereo audio files and use FCP’s unique and genius surround panner in the inspector (set to the respective purposes) as displayed in the next screenshots. Note: I also export a special M&E stereo track now, which is a combination of all sound effects/atmospherics and music, hence the name ‘music and effects’.

Note: You need a separate voice/dialogue track for this, hence the before mentioned preparation. I would not recommend this (although it is possible and works OK) for just a single stereo mix – if you want to up-mix one single stereo mix, you should choose ‘create space’ as the preset instead.","Secondly, I knew in the end we need to conform to a 52 minutes TV version (Central-European broadcast standard length for docs) and to 25p (which happens by a 4% speed change - what has always been done since the invention of analogue TV), so I needed a 55 minutes for the cinema master in 24p (the FPS conform would take care of the length automatically due to speed up of 4%). To exactly hit 52 minutes I would just adjust the length of credits (scrolling speed) in the very end. For audio improvement I usually use Voice Isolation at 50% combined with the EQ set to ‘Tremble Boost’ – at least for our wireless Sony mics this gives crisp and clear speech.","Setup: The SDR library is located on the internal SSD as well as all cache files, library backups, export renders and transcodes. Nothing gets stored inside the library so that it stays small and fast. For the amount of 600 GB source media, the library clocks in at under 500 MB stat way. All source media is fed from an external RAID (HDD) or portable LaCie SSD.","SRT captions for subtitles (sidecar files)","Stereo mix of everything but also Stereo M&E","Surround mix of everything, but also Surround M&E","Thirdly, I made sure during editing that all roles get directly assigned to the right ones for audio and video alike, also all non-English dialogue (we had German and Kurdish besides the English narration) was translated on-the-go and out into a corresponding SRT captions track. From this point on, whatever I was doing and moving around would clearly be color-coded and ready to be filtered by the timeline index. Grading was done exclusively with the new native ‘Color Adjustment’ correction (plus some shape masks) which allow for easy highlight recovery. For sharpening I used the ‘High-pass Filter’ ported from Apple’s Motion (see bottom for details).","Video clean-feed with titles to be added in yet another project"]},{"l":"Versioning","p":["Checking the list from the beginning again, there are some special requirements for non-cinema releases. Namely R128 (audio) and R103 (video) normalizations. The latter we took care of with the ‘Broadcast Safe’ filter directly in FCP but sadly, Apple has not included audio mastering yet. Again, this task is covered by Davinci Resolve (this time ‘lite’ suffices) where you can normalize audio according to the most important standards via a right click on it in a timeline. So we have to re-import a final mix in R128 once again and put in our project. This is represented in Screenshot 4.","Cinema international version in 2K flat 1998x1080, 24p, 5.1 Surround as ProRes HQ master file with English titles and burnt-in English subtitles (captions).","For audio, I drop in the previously exported Stereo mixes (R128 and M&E) and manually speed-change them (FCP does not do this automatically for audio, which is a good thing!) by 4,1% (remember, the original FPS was 23,98 not native 24p, hence 0,1% more – yes, I know everything is super confusing). Audio should not be in complete sync and at the exact same length as video.","HDTV/VOD version in HD 16:9 (just change project settings for a different resolution), 24p with either Surround or Stereo + M&E as ProRes HQ, with or without titles and captions as separate files (note that there is also a CC track, meaning closed captions, aka SDH, in which also spoken English has been transcribed).","I can now deliver the following as listed in the very beginning:","Let’s not forget to, again, add the Broadcast Safe to the clean-feed to make it ‘legal’. We already know hot to proceed with exporting Multitrack Quicktime files. We are done and have exported several versions which usually takes a lot longer and additional people.","Note: You can either import CSV data into an Excel table (Google knows how to do it) or get the free ‘Table Tool’ on the Appstore to open CSV files easily.","Now comes the last, most tedious, step, which you might not need: The frame rate conversion to 25p for ex-PAL TV stations (in HD 16:9 and Stereo R128). Yet another project created, making sure it is set to 25p. Dropping in the clean-feed in 24p and FCP works its magic. It has already been conformed and speed-changed by 4% and is reduced in length because of it. I exported the Titles role as a separate video (from the 24p project) before in ProRes 4444, which includes an Alpha channel, meaning: Transparency. Why? Because now also the titles get speed-changed and are in sync without me adjusting every single title manually. I can still export another clean-feed, this time in 25p, this way. This is represented by the purple role in Screenshot 7.","Now use Save Timeline Index to CSV to receive a CSV file which you can use to create a MCS (music cue sheet) for royalty reports.","Remember the captions? The only thing not speed-changeable (why not, I ask, would be a neat feature) are the subtitles, so before we can import them here, we need them to be conformed to 25p too. Luckily there is a great free online tool for this purpose as shown in Screenshots 8a-b: https://editingtools.io/subtitles/(expand the ‘advanced’ options).","Screenshot 5A","Screenshot 5A: Using the unique Multitrack option during sharing again, it is easy to deliver a ProRes master file with 12 audio tracks, where tracks 1-6 are the full surround mix in R128 for example (assigned to ‘Dialogue’ role but you could create your own) and tracks 7-12 are surround M&E, meaning everything without speech for dubbing purposes and in full scale (not R128). Also, through removing or adding the ‘Titles’ role it is easy to create a clean-feed or localized English version. Again, cations are exported separately as sidecar SRT files, as shown at the bottom.","Screenshot 5B","Screenshot 5B: Same thing as 5a but now it is a project set to stereo with the corresponding mixes we created before hand from the original project and/or stems.","Screenshot 6A","Screenshot 6B","Screenshot 7","Screenshot 7: The clean-feed 24p assets (audio and video) in yet a new project, which is set to HD 25p for broadcast PAL conforming. Note: This requires a speed change of 4,1% and will make the film shorter (or longer if you go the other way). FCP takes care of most of the process automatically. If you have separate sound (and did not include it in the clean video), you need to change its speed manually: Right click, change duration, use 104,1% for 24p -> 25p.","Screenshot 8A","Screenshot 8B","Screenshots 6A-B: Using the Timeline Index to get a list of music and titles cues as CSV via CommandPost. As you can see, the duration is missing, which would be helpful if requested.","Screenshots 8A-B: This way I can speed change (adjust timings) all SRTs too for re-import.","The actual DCP encoding (which in itself is its own workflow and mastering step) will be done by me as well but using Davinci Resolve Studio (!) which includes Kakadu J2K cinema packaging. The world-wide digital cinema standard is still (and only) DCP IOP and requires you to jump through a few hoops to really guarantee a reliable projection quality and playability. By the way: I offer the only (free) eBook and paid video course for in-depth professional DCP mastering in Davinci Resolve Studio on my website.","The same you can do for titles to receive a CSV for the titles inserts list as demonstrated in Screenshot 6b. It really helps, however a possible improvement would be to have the CSV also include the duration of the clips, not only their starting position.","This is where our beloved CommandPost comes to help. It can save the contents of the Timeline Index, which you should learn to love. It is your best friend, as is CommandPost: In the Timeline Index, select ‘Clips’ at the top and ‘Audio’ at the bottom to get a list of just the audio files at their corresponding position (and with their corresponding role), as demonstrated in Screenshot 6a. Of course, we are only interested in the role ‘Music’.","TV and big VOD platforms also need some documentation and special reports to go with your delivered assets. Usually a music cue sheet (MCS), a titles inserts list (TIL) and a full script of every spoken word for dubbing or localization (captioning). The latter we already have (kind of) with the above mentioned CC (SDH) SRT file – which I created by running a separated narration VO file (exported this one role) through the genius ‘MacWhisper’ app and combined the resulting SRT with the other one within the FCP captions. For the other two report docs we need all the timings (timecode) of both, text inserts and music cues.","UPDATE (1st Dec 2023): Seems like there is an easier and a lot more straightforward solution for cue sheets (music and titles) by using the fantastic companion app Producer’s Best Friend by Intelligent Assistance.

The difference being, it does so through lowering the mix volume, not compressing it (video levels are compressed, not cut, for roll-off).","Screenshot 10"]},{"l":"Discuss this page"}],[{"l":"Guardians of Himalayas","p":["Written by Achu P.

As David told me, the whole thing emerged from a circle of friends. And at the same time it's the cinema debut for many of the team. How did the beginnings of the script come about?","DANIEL: Well, I've known David much longer than Denis (Denis Moschitto, co-director and main cast). We shot the series \"Im Knast\" in 2015/16 and became close friends after the first season. I was ready to make my film debut. Denis wanted to work as a full-blown filmmaker and not \"only\" as an actor. And we figured we want to do this with David, not only as the guy who cuts everything together in the end. So we formed a gang of three - also as proof of concept of how we want to work. It wasn't like, \"Oh, we want to tell this practitioner's story.\" It was more about: how do we actually want to shoot (and produce a film) at all? We took a much more radical approach. The film had an internal working title. We called it: \"Let's fuck shit up!\". So, this freedom was really important to us from the get-go, not for reasons of protectionism, but to not be held back by some kind of structural corset. For example, we didn’t want to work closely with a post-house, rather we wanted to be in control of it ourselves; we wanted to do the exports without calling a technician or anxiously send out VFX lists only to have someone tell us it’s too expensive. We wanted to do it on our terms and with our particular skill-set. And that was at least as important as the story: to figure out our own process, like a personal framework for filmmaking. Is it possible to do it that way? And if so, then we'll cultivate that in the future.","FLORIAN: So you imagined an even more intense collaborative process as filmmaking already is? And you started with the key-positions of editing, acting and directing?","DANIEL: Yes, you could say that. You also have to say that Denis didn't want to play the lead role at first. He wanted to do the part behind the camera. But that ultimately changed during Covid19, I have to be honest.","DAVID: The pandemic changed the script as well.","DANIEL: Yeah, exactly, that opened a door.","DAVID: It inspired parts of the story that weren't there before. Probably the strongest storylines now.","FLORIAN: So I understand it like this: everyone brings their particular skills from a different direction and then you mingle together. And Denis brought his skills from the acting-side?","“ Some even say the Film Editor is like a second director. Denis recently called it shadow-directing. ”","DANIEL: Yes, basically that's right. And if I may say one more thing, which is really close to my heart; a really underestimated part of your (David and Florian’s) work is: Editing isn’t only connecting lines and securing continuity! If you do a somewhat decent job, you finish writing the script in the edit! And I think it's totally important not just to award credits, but, prospectively, understand it as the collective effort it already is. Some even say the Film Editor is like a second director. Denis recently called it shadow-directing. It's sometimes very difficult to distinguish: what is script, what is acting, what is camera, what is staging? And with editing, somehow nobody sees it unless it sucks. Or you win an Oscar, like in this Queen film, because you clearly saw how strong the interventions are there. Unfortunately, there's no real obvious traction for this, neither inside nor outside our line of work, that articulates how much these processes are interdependent and extremely interdisciplinary. And I also think that a lot of the work of directing on set is about opening up spaces for people to do their work well. That's always been a saying that we've had: you don't tell actors how to play it well, but you find people, through casting and all other processes, who work it out with you. And for us, Editing is simply part of that from the very beginning. That's the way it is for me from now on. With every larger project, it's simply an absolute must-have that the editing is there as early as it can be. That you simply talk about everything. So David was even present during prep for blocking the scenes. That all paid off. That's not the most efficient way of working as far as human life is concerned. Nevertheless, for me it’s the nucleus of an ideal shooting situation. To manage this in 30 shooting days, which have come to destroy you. (smiles) To pull that off, that’s killer!","FLORIAN: David, did you actually co-write or just read the script and comment on it?","DAVID: The latter. I’ve never had the script open in Final Draft in this case, but I had read everything since the first treatment draft and we talked about it afterwards. What works well, where do I have ideas for development? It was such a gritty learning process. I would also say that my initial comments were more like, \"yeah, it's all totally awesome, looks awesome, great, exactly.\" The closer the shoot, the more complex the exchange became. And I think that in follow-up projects we’re already noticing how this collaboration has changed and intensified.","FLORIAN: So, you're actually benefiting from this intense work during writing and pre-production. Are you actually getting faster? More precise?","DAVID: Several things. We knew the story and the characters so well that there were few questions left. We developed a lot, of course we'll get to that in a minute when we talk about principal shooting. But I think it's more that through this experience the degree to which I get involved in new projects is now much more intense. By how we've learned to communicate with each other about film, what we like, what works well, what direction we want to go. And also that we can imagine writing a script together. I mean, I would still have to prove that I can do that. But in the process of this film, we came so far that I don't think it would be an absurdity for all of us if that happens."]},{"l":"Workflow","p":["“ My motivation to work like this also came from my buddy Frido, who always used to select in Final Cut with the Playstation controller. He used to sit on the couch, in front of his client monitor, he does a lot of advertising and has a really fat client monitor, so he used to sit on the client couch and did selects with the controller. ”","DANIEL: And Reject, maybe, too.","DANIEL: Yeah, exactly, so since that (FCPX 2012) came out, I've cut everything I could with it. Obviously I haven't edited a feature film, but I've gained a lot of experience in terms of workflow stuff. And I've done a lot with it. And I loved it very quickly. The first version was really bad... but after they changed the library structure, it worked. Also, for David and me, a very important point was that we both had no desire to work on Avid and also had our experiences with Premiere. With Final Cut, you can just dig in and just work sensibly - cut \"from the gut\". And that's what I personally really wanted to do, because I know: You wipe over the footage, make a range, throw everything you find interesting in the timeline - snip, snap, snip - drag scenes to the left, to the right, to the left, to the right and then you're done....","DANIEL: You did, once.","DAVID: And Forward, Backward.","DAVID: And marked In/Out, favorite with the Playstation controller.","DAVID: And Reject still, yeah. And so then I watched and selected. Started editing in parallel as well, but it's a much more fluid and cohesive process.","DAVID: As I said, we wanted to do as much as possible ourselves. But of course, in order to have a certain security, just for insurance and stuff like that, there was still a post-production house involved. And that was WeFadeToGrey. The proxies were created there, then the proxies went to Victor (Rosario, Assistant Editor), and he synced everything. Then I took a walk to Victor's place, because it was very close, and picked up the footage on a hard drive, super oldschool, and if he was already done, also the Final Cut Library, or he sent it to me later.","DAVID: Exactly, yeah.","DAVID: I also created keywords for a few dialogs. But I discarded that relatively quickly, because there's just not that much talking in our film. (Laughter)","DAVID: Nah, actually it always stayed that way. And I didn't split the timeline into reels either, I just started and kind of kept going and when Final Cut slowed down I just reduced the library (deleted older timelines) and then everything rolled again smoothly. That way I didn't have the need to structure it differently. Admittedly, our workflow was really very low-tech in that respect. And, what we haven't said yet is that I hadn't worked on Final Cut once before.","DAVID: No, I had one event per shooting day and then sorted the scenes by keywords.","DAVID: Totally. Although our workflow and also the structure of the library was not ideal. But the pure editing, that went super fast, well off the cuff. Basically, I've never understood it if you only want to work with one technique or one software. Because first of all you’d limit yourself. And I think they all have their advantages and disadvantages. Final Cut is simply years ahead! But still, both Avid and Premiere have their justification. At btf, we worked on Premiere for all those years and it was perfect for one-shots that had a lot of graphics and VFX shots. It would have been unthinkable to work on Avid. And that was kind of the approach to learn the \"new hot shit\" as well. Of course, that started with the viewing and selecting, how much fun that is! Because otherwise, in Premiere or in Avid, with every new project, I'm actually always faced with such a conundrum first, that I have to decide how I want to watch and select now.","DAVID: Unlike with Avid or Premiere, I don't have to decide: do I just watch everything first? Do I do markers or a select sequence or do I start cutting directly and slowly work my way through the footage? When I'm working on Avid or Premiere, I usually do it in such a way that I start cutting right away and then go from the footage further into the structure, into the deep. With the way you can mark favorites in Final Cut, I've gone back to doing selects classically without feeling like it's costing me too much time, energy, and motivation. I feel like selecting with other NLEs, maybe that's fun, too. But when you're done you haven't done anything yet. (Laughter) You don't have that feeling with Final Cut. So: I marked my favorites, and then in the next step, in the View I already hid everything (note: show only Favorites in Browser) and with that I had my select reel in the Browser as a starting point. My motivation to work like this also came from my buddy Frido, who always used to select in Final Cut with the Playstation controller. He used to sit on the couch, in front of his client monitor, he does a lot of advertising and has a really fat client monitor, so he used to sit on the client couch and did selects with the controller.","DAVID: Well, I once assisted a friend (Frido Körner) on a commercial, with the approach \"I want to learn a little Final Cut\". I did rough cuts there, too, and mainly got the assistant stuff down, to understand how Final Cut works in the structure. Then I looked at your (Florian, German editor’s association internal) introduction again, in preparation for the film and then just jumped in at the deep end and started. Because Daniel knows Final Cut so well, I had no worries for the time after the shooting. And during shooting I could always call Frido if I had any questions...","DAVID: Well, once, I did once....","DAVID: Yes, from Stella Fachinger. I was also on the set for the first two days of shooting, and then we talked on the phone, and in the classic way there were Lockit files digital ScriptSuper-notes that Victor transferred into FCP).","Editing a feature film with Final Cut Pro","Event structure of the editing project","FLORIAN: And have there been notes from the ScriptSupervisor?","FLORIAN: And then there was one event per scene? Or did you do it via keywords?","FLORIAN: And with this Favorites-concept you went through the whole film? So it's not like you did extra keywords again? That would be my method: the favorites all get one keyword, then the favorites get suspended and I select favorites of that keyword (fine selection).","FLORIAN: He put the shortcuts on the controller?","FLORIAN: Okay, do you mind telling us briefly what the technical workflow was like, from the set to the editing room. And after that, we would look a little bit at how you actually worked dramaturgically on set. How were the proxies delivered to you and how were they created?","FLORIAN: Okay, let's start there. You get the first shooting day in for SCHOCK, and then: how do you select?","FLORIAN: Okay. And David, did it feel for you like that right away? All this throwing in and freestyle mixing clips, as Daniel describes the whole thing?","FLORIAN: Okay. Then you split it into reels yourself at some point, or scene-Events?","FLORIAN: Play, Pause, In/Out, Favorite, that's all you need.","FLORIAN: So it’s been ProRes proxies?","FLORIAN: Wait a minute, Daniel, but you've done a lot before, smaller projects?","FLORIAN: Wait, this is where it gets interesting.","FLORIAN: What do you mean not once?","FLORIAN: Yeah, exactly. We haven't even mentioned that yet. I'll add that later in the short summary.","FLORIAN: Yes."]},{"l":"Watching Dailies","p":["Shooting day briefing “New School”","FLORIAN: And then let's say now, you're done with the shooting day and then came the special thing, which maybe was still common in the past, that you did something similar to watching dailies with the head-of’s. Now that went a bit differently with you guys. That's of course totally interesting, how this process was at the end of the shooting day between the two of you. Or three of you, together with Denis?","DAVID: Exactly, and sometimes even four, with DoP Paul Pieck together. We already met with the motivation, relatively classical, to watch dailies. Then, when you're sitting in a café where it's a little bit louder, that's not such a good idea anymore. And relatively quickly we moved on to not discussing the previous day's dailies, but rather doing a kind of style critique. On the one hand, how the camera works and how we want to narrate cinematically with the camera, and on the other hand about the character development.","DANIEL: We did make some drastic decisions, it has to be said. For example, we changed the character who gets shot at the end in the showdown. That was originally a different person. And that evolved exactly from those conversations. David was telling Paul all the time, \"Dude, fuck the axis, go in, shoot sloppy, it doesn't matter, let go!\" And that totally triggered a lot. You really can't underestimate that. It was incredibly important. Yesterday, in a moment of madness, I looked at the version we shot - not one stone was left unturned, except for very important details. The film changed incredibly during principal filming. And that was totally cool, I would say. To always discuss with each other and to hold each other up. It was a constant comparison: here we are on the right track, there we have to put in more, there we give less. It's also a film that intentionally leaves out information in a lot of places, in a way that hopefully doesn't bother you. Without those conversations, we never would have been able to do it that way.","DAVID: Frustration management, too. The shoot was tough as nails. There were really few shooting days for what we had planned. And of course the guys were used up quickly. And I gave a lot of motivational speeches. Not because it didn't work. It was often about saying: we're on a good path!","DANIEL: Yes. With David, at the end of the day, it was another view from the outside. While I was already essentially the first viewer via the small monitor on set, David was the next first viewer.","FLORIAN: Yeah, logical. I can also feed back to you that, my impression after the premiere. Because I knew that David was there, I also tried to notice the editing and the mise-en-scene. In other words, I tried to watch actively, what I usually avoid at the first screening. And it's striking: the film is extremely varied! Longer camera movements, pans, montage-sequences, but also more classic blocking and also somewhat fancy camera angles. And still, the thing seems to be made of one piece. It just doesn't fall apart, but it makes the whole thing lively and exciting. And maybe that's also due to this process.","DANIEL: For sure.","DAVID: We didn't just talk about the footage, but also about the next day and what’s planned. And that's where we sometimes developed together, we said \"come on, this scene: one shot!\", or \"come on: two safety, but no shot-reverse-shot!\", just brave: something interlaced, or maybe a bit architectural... And these are then ultimately also the scenes where the shots could last very long (without a cut)."]},{"l":"Redefining the Genre","p":["Without negating the legacy","FLORIAN: The film manages to stay tough and serious. How hard was it for you not to drift into satire or coolness? And that maybe ties into what you guys were just talking about.","DANIEL: So it's a mixture of very easy and very, very, very difficult. When we decided to make a movie at that time, the idea came up, \"what about a gangster movie?\". And then we actually said, \"no, this coolness, somehow we're not up for it at all\". And that was, I think, a narrative demand that had been seething with us for so long that we couldn't get past it. We wanted to play with it. For example, Fahri (Yardim, supporting cast) is wearing a cool leather jacket and is looking grim, but in such a way that it doesn't tip over into a comic reality. That was actually a very simple decision. A film that nevertheless serves the genre, with a showdown, with a certain form of depiction of violence. That it has to be a bit borderline. Not a film that has to please everyone. It was ultimately about going a little bit to the extreme. For example: How little can you talk without thinking it’s a student film where the task was: you're not allowed to talk. So, getting the coolness out of it wasn't that hard. But a film that builds a coherent atmosphere and world within these 114 minutes, without classically learned mechanics, without a love interest, with a main character for whom you can't clearly say why he's actually acting like this. That was very, very difficult. And it took a lot of time.","“ How little can you talk without thinking it’s a student film where the task was: you're not allowed to talk. ”","FLORIAN: Cool gangster movies - there would be a lot of references. So there are pitfalls when you're staging it the opposite way and dealing with actors who are used to it differently. There's a lot for you to do on set, isn't there? Always holding them back a little bit or nudging it in a different direction.","DANIEL: Yeah, ..., we still have a few ADR parts in it that are a thorn in our side. That's why I watched the raw footage of a scene again. And I was totally surprised. It's the scene where Bruno is at Giuli's house for the first time and treats this wound. The scene is just forever long. The footage is forever. And Denis is acting with this medicine bag that was completely filled, like, 300 times in the movie. Incredibly hard to act shit. It's an awkward prop. Incredible number of times he has to open it, close it.","DAVID: Gloves always on, mask too.","DANIEL: The handling, the continuity - that wasn't the difficulty. It was the ability to remain calm. Not to go for efficiency in storytelling. Not to tell it like: now he's sitting with his sister, then he has to say \"sis\" three more times so that people understand.","DAVID: For the scene, we had a relatively steep idea for the character constellation in the days before (during the dailies-discussions). There's not much of that left in the result, but it led to quite a lot of nuances.","DANIEL: There used to be a different ending, it has to be said.","FLORIAN: They're hugging, aren't they?","DAVID: Exactly.","DANIEL: Actually, something else happened after the hug.","DAVID: Right. And also in between, some other stuff happened where the relationship between brother and sister gets a different conflict that we ended up leaving out, but it totally helped the buildup of the scene. Because a conflict arose between the three of them. That was then left out. But it still remained as a basic conflict in the constellation of the characters. And this development was totally exciting for us. A bit like a director's trick, but without being shitty to people, so that they reach their limits. Like throwing in an idea to push everyone to the brink. Coming back to the genre arc, what was really important for the shoot as well: to actually show a lot of things and to be explicit. Not to cut away in moments where it's about violence, or even the consequences of violence, or everything that's medical in the film. We wanted to be in these moments and absolutely show it. For example the treatment of the gunshot wound. How he pulls the thing off and you see the \"pizza\" (inflammation around the wound) and the hole. We have been so lucky with our make-up artists, Daniel Schröder and Annette Schirmer. It had to look good. He takes off the patch and you think \"oh shit, this fucking hole in the back\". Starting from there to the thumb at the end (of the film), we wanted to show everything. Not to cut away in those moments and only tell it with sound because it's easier. Sound also works, because it hurts associatively. But we wanted to show it all, as statements of intent to the genre.","DANIEL: Immanence, that was a total buzzword for us when we were shooting. We tried to hold it up everywhere we could. For the genre. To somehow get pressure into it. Meaning: real shots, real locations, no car rides in LED hell. And above all, to let actors play and not only shoot for the edit."]},{"i":"creative-struggles--frustration-management","l":"Creative Struggles & Frustration Management","p":["_“ Final Cut invites you to go on forever: fade here, something there, jab jab, while it is running (!), ... ”","DANIEL: Exactly, the letting go, even of frustrations from the set. We had that with two or three other scenes that took a little bit in the edit to get done. At some point, one of us said, \"Nah, come on, let's do it. We'll take out the montage-sequence and we'll go through it properly, again.\" I mean, you know for yourself when you're sitting in the edit and suddenly the knot unravels. And you know you’ll just need three frames here, a different setting there, and maybe a little bit of a different mindset ... We also had a small, very early test screening with Rainer Nigrelli and Flo Böttger. Watching it with different eyes has also totally changed a lot for us. And for David it was just stress, because there are two guys sitting behind him and say, \"Get in early.\" - \"No, out earlier.\" - \"Boom, there's music.\" - \"Nah, without music.\". That was really super untechnical. That's why, I think, we haven’t had real conflict, except for general frustration management. But there was a long phase, also during editing, where we had no idea whether the film would work. I think we were really afraid that we would cut it and then it would just completely suck.","DANIEL: I got two, three things. David?","DANIEL: I think 30 days in total. I remembered 18 weeks of editing.","DANIEL: That was surprising. That was really surprising.","DANIEL: Totally. It's totally crucial. I've also suffered a lot in Premiere and Avid. More in Premiere, even less in Avid. I really think: getting access to the footage, so you just have a visual reference of what you're working on, that's easy in Final Cut - I can’t understand why you wouldn't want that in editing. I really don’t fathom.","DANIEL: Vape, vape, vape ... I picked up the mouse every once in a while. I really like seeing the timeline to get a feel for what's happening. And what I find so nice about Final Cut is that you can just let it run, trim another clip while it's running, turn the music down a bit, you can just march through. Even Denis felt the vibe that you can just march and “massage” the footage as you like. We actually took moments now and then to get away from the computer and watch it on a TV-Set. Because Final Cut invites you to go on forever: fade here, something there, jab jab, while it is running (!), and so constantly the attention is gone. But I don't think I'm a better editor than David, on the contrary. I'm just a bit more into technical shit, whereas David is more into \"I'll edit the scene nice and tidy\". If there's a new Voice Isolation thing in there, I immediately want to know how it works. Where the limits of it are and where they aren't. David just doesn't give a shit. So I was doing more of an editing assist, if you will.","DANIEL: We thought that was going to happen, but it didn't.","DANIEL: Yes, it could be that I did that once. It wasn’t the usual \"there's a director sitting around\". We always sat behind David, jerking around like dudes, which had to be annoying sometimes, right?","DAVID: 18 weeks of editing, but that was including principal shooting. We were together the whole time. And just fought our way through. It was an incredibly intense process. But at the same time, you have to say, we had no single night shift. Not on any day.","DAVID: 18 weeks was all right. We always said to ourselves, if it takes longer: screw it. We had an extremely low budget and we made super little money on the film. But because it was all of our big screen debut, we didn't give a shit.","DAVID: Exactly, and there again, this whole process is totally awesome that we wrestled for this scene so much and it changed for the better.","DAVID: Exactly, we thought it was going to happen. Sometimes I like that, too, as a certain protection mechanism. If I don't happen to know the director or producer that well yet, then maybe I’d like to have time alone to try something out and not have someone sitting behind me. With Daniel and Denis, there were no such insecurities or fears, for sure. But of course, when you're three guys... How many weeks did you shoot, Daniel?","DAVID: For example, we cut out the death of the character Naimee, the prostitute, very early. And built it so that that strand basically ends loosely for Bruno. After she’s got the sepsis and then an allergic reaction, it just got better again and he doesn't hear anything of her anymore. Particularly Denis and I favored that for a very long time. In the end, it's always a bit theoretical. You kind of have an idea to tell it differently and think: that's okay, it didn’t have as much impact as we thought it might anyways. Naturally, that's the easy way to get rid of it. And that's where Daniel really pissed us off, in a positive sense. He \"beat us up\" to not leave it like that and to give up. And I also think my ethos developed a lot during that time. As an editor, you probably don't want to admit that, but of course sometimes the path of least resistance is a grateful one.","DAVID: Nah, I don't think so. I think during that time there was an update with Dupe Detection. That was great. Because that was totally missing. Then all of a sudden it was there. And it was like \"Thank you!\".","DAVID: Right, and I'm not very interested in that.","DAVID: That was very surprising. Because Daniel and I are geared to spend the whole night. Maybe we were there until 10 p.m., but then the last two hours were mostly talking.","DAVID: Vaping noises, behind me all day.","DAVID: We had a rough cut of, I think, 2:45 hours. The first days were a bit wild … aftermath of the wrapping party. And then we really just sat together every day. So I don't remember any situation where we discussed something, now they're going to leave, we'll talk more tomorrow and I’ll execute.","DAVID: Yes, and I think with me it derives from \"learned stress\" from other projects. I had to unlearn that, in a way. We're editing together again at the moment. Daniel can say \"yes, let's have another look\", as often as he likes - I'm rarely annoyed. Except maybe when I'm tired, the dog is barking and I'm hungry and I think to myself, \"now leave me alone!\" The three of us have had a lot of things to deal with, I guess. Even Denis, who has never sat in the edit so intensely. I mean, with three people, if there's a disagreement, then it's two against one. There's no other way. And of course you’ll get annoyed sometimes. But in the end we all mastered these challenges, even if it took a little while. Denis is also happy now that Naimee's death is still in there. And I also like the way we approached the scene in the edit and with elliptical storytelling. How Bruno sits there and is desperate about what happened. That's how it became a strong scene. Not an action sequence of \"will he manage to save her?\". He arrives, she's already dead, and through our editing his desperation becomes very clear and relatable.","FLORIAN: And the Voice Isolation came with the same update, I think.","FLORIAN: Bitter reality.","FLORIAN: Daniel, can I just ask, with your Final Cut background, were there moments where you said, “let me do it myself”? Did you also sometimes, maybe for the better, push the keyboard over to each other?","FLORIAN: I think it’s great.","FLORIAN: My experience is almost the other way around, that I always say, \"I know you don't like it, but I'll remind you in two days, that maybe we should cut it out.\" Here the director is fighting obtrusively for something? But I guess it makes sense in your collective construct?","FLORIAN: The filmstrip view and how visually Final Cut presents everything, even to a bystander, is helpful to your work.","FLORIAN: We agree on that. Were there certain challenges in this fine-cutting phase, where you struggled and fought or where it just took longer and you were able to solve them?","FLORIAN: Yeah, cool. Let's go into your fine editing phase then. David, you had Denis and Daniel sitting there all the time - or did you send them out of the studio sometimes?","FLORIAN: Yeah, that’s in every process, usually after three weeks of fine editing or so. I would now slowly shift towards post and then wrap the whole thing. Maybe a little question about Final Cut: Did you miss something essential in the whole process? Or where you guys said, \"Gee, that feature would actually be good.\"","FLORIAN: You haven’t been so limited in time. For a TV movie you have to be done after 10 weeks.","Picture Lock Timeline with Playouts and Burnins above"]},{"l":"Post Production","p":["Delivering with Final Cut Pro","DANIEL: Yeah, it's awesome. I think during the edit itself - no complaints. Since I also did VFX, I took over the project technically after editing. And there are a few things during the handovers. For example, I would like to be able to lock the cut. That you can kind of say, Primary Storyline: no more timing change. That would be nice, for example. And sometimes it's a bit annoying that metadata in the Event and Timeline don't stay in sync. For example, if you create a Role for a VFX-source, that is not reflected in the Event, e. g. as a keyword-range. The information is only in the timeline. We had VFX shots marked with their own Roles to get them out as sources for VFX. I just did the math again. 71 fullblown VFX shots, but in reality it was more like 90. And that's not counting stabilizations. Because I did it all myself it was quite a lot of stuff. Then, of course, like I think a lot of people, we also had problems with stabilization, one should just be able to rebuild them 1-1 on other workstations, I think. And timecode... Or is that solved now? There is this timecode window. Is it possible to display the different tracks? I still don't think so.","FLORIAN: Well, you can display it, but you can't burn it in.","DANIEL: Exactly. That's also really annoying, for example, that you can't do proper burn-ins. That would be really nice for a professional workflow, when you send it out to sound-post. So I brought the stuff into Resolve and made burn-ins there, then brought it back into Final Cut. It always takes time.","FLORIAN: Well, there are workarounds inside FCP for these problems, but it could be better. And what was the point with stabilizing? So it wasn't the same on one computer as it was on the other?","DANIEL: No, that worked. But at some point it was like, you do a stabilization and everything is good. If you open it up on another computer, the analyzing never stops (note.: is constantly re-rendering). And the still frame is different from the moving picture. Feels a little wonky, I'd say.","FLORIAN: It would actually need some kind of render lock for one clip. That's what Alex4D once suggested.","“ I also think that you can't design sound as beautifully in almost any other tool as you can in Final Cut. It's an incredibly cool sound tool! ”","DANIEL: Exactly. At least some kind of rebuild function for the internal effects, which are otherwise great. And of course a render lock would be great as well. I think those are the few things I can think of right now. I also think audio lanes are great. I'm very happy about that. I also think that you can't design sound as beautifully in almost any other tool as you can in Final Cut. It's an incredibly cool sound tool! And that's super important to all of us. We worked on sound a lot and very precisely. So it's a shame - but this is a ProTools issue - when you put so much work into details that then all goes down the drain in transfers. I think that's really sad. If I still had time to learn programming somehow, I would do everything I could to get the sound in the studio to be exactly the same as it is in the edit. And also this \"In Avid, a lot of people only edit with mix-tracks\"-paradigm, that you don't really care about the sound in the edit, that bothers me.","FLORIAN: So, when you think about the deliveries now, David, you just handed it over to Daniel? And although you onlined it at WeFadeToGrey you still did the VFX and even the grading?","DANIEL: Exactly.","FLORIAN: But in Resolve probably.","Audio Lanes View of final edit"]},{"i":"pre-gradinghome-office","l":"pre-grading@home-office","p":["DANIEL: Exactly. The film got proper grading after all. And of course, that's only possible because I did a relatively intensive pre-grading. I built myself a nice little grading box in the office with black styros. With my Mac Studio and a 4K-DCI Eizo monitor, which I calibrated to 709. Then in Resolve I worked in full resolution in DaVinci wide gamut/intermediate, which is the RCM-2 color space, a color managed workflow. So I prepared grading on my 709 monitor and cut in all the VFX, then I could just switch to P3D65 to prepare it for the grading cinema. So that process worked extremely well if you ask me.","FLORIAN: Kind of like ACES, right?","DANIEL: So when ACES came out, I was always working in ACES. And when RCM-2 was released from Blackmagic, and the new HDR grading tools ... that is, I think, from the usability so fine, so nice to work with, I find ACES in comparison a bit ... sharper, feels more brutal somehow. I think (as a director) it makes much more sense to colorize your own film than to edit it. You can quickly change things radically. And develop a taste and build and try things out. Long story short, it's been a bit low-tech of course that I did it here in my office but then we moved to WeFadeToGrey and had the total opposite there in the grading cinema. That's kind of where the magic is for me. And what we haven't even said yet: We shot with the Sony Venice on full frame Cooke lenses, all 3:2 open gate in RAW (X-OC-XT), so 2:1 anamorphic 6K. Which is a quasi-12K image (de-stretched) or 12096x4032. But the finish was in 4K. WeFadeToGrey helped us a lot, especially Swen Linde supported us very well. We can only be very grateful. I don't think you could have done much more deluxe in Cologne. They were major supporters of us.","DAVID: Exactly, even though we wanted to do a lot ourselves, they really helped us out a lot.","FLORIAN: And this high resolution, of course it helps with VFX, as well as in editing, when you want to zoom a little further into the frame.

I think now we should, but I'm still interested in the VFX workflow, briefly. So did you do those in Resolve or did you send them back to Final Cut?","DANIEL: Well, I did the onlining in Resolve. You have to know, during film school, I already had gathered experience in title design, grading and VFX-stuff for family and friends. My secret, technical post-production life, so to say. (smiles) So I did the VFX partly in After Effects, partly in Fusion. We don't have any 3D composites in it. But I always sent everything back into Final Cut easily via fcpxml, so that we could make clean playouts and sound transfers \"offline\" with the 2K proxies. We also re-delivered if anything was needed, or looked for another take. The Final Cut project was still in use during that process.","FLORIAN: Okay, okay, okay.","DAVID: Maybe a mini remark about the VFX. We just really had an endless number of retouches.","FLORIAN: Removals, retouches, split screens.","DAVID: Split screens and also really complex split screens, sometimes with two or three other retouching layers.","FLORIAN: Especially because of the handheld camera every single plate has to be tracked before comping, probably a bit tricky.","DAVID: Exactly, and therefore mostly zoomed in a bit. So it's not an uncomplex thing that Daniel did there. Which was just cool, briefly back to the editing process, because we were just never in the situation of having to think about whether it can be paid. We just did what we wanted to do in the end. Denis and I rather tried to hold Daniel back and say, hey, can't we not kill this VFX-shot, because you know what else you have to do.","FLORIAN: Daniel, how long did it take?","DANIEL: Yeah, a long time. I think three, four weeks at least. It was really crazy. But it was also cool. It was glamorous. Almost all the tracking stuff I did with Mocha because I did a lot of rotoscoping stuff with it as well and I just really like using Mocha. Also the performance with these 6K, de-stretched, was relatively good. I mean, I don't even want to pretend it had good performance when it comes to that kind of footage. It was overwhelming. A violent footage tornado that ran through my equipment. I worked with Mocha Pro. It was super awesome, I have to say. But then I had some problems with Mocha. There's a relatively new surface tracker in the Pro version that you can use to track organic stuff. It always crashed.

Even the re-delivery process was very relaxed. If you document it thoughtfully! And if there's one tool that invites you to do that, it's Final Cut. ”","DANIEL: I have one last thing. And I'll make this real quick. What was so cool for us was when our producers and everybody said we're going to go back into the mix and we're going to re-cut. That everyone worked together like that. With EDLX, I pushed out EDLs for reconforming and created changelists with \"Change List X\". With reference audio because we cut with stems and only brought in original audio where there were changes. I provided the Soundpost with a small flood of deliveries and that worked super well. So don't be afraid to change things afterwards. It's not like we changed every other frame now, it was much more selective. We added one more scene, took one out, changed a few timings and tried to relax so that we didn't have to go into the whole process again. In the process, two or three VFX shots were created and I did the conforming in Resolve, I bounced the transfers back to our audio post, which worked really well. And I have to say, a little bit of “new school filmmaking” is that you don't let technical shit like that stop you. That just because you have a Picture-Lock planned, you're not going to change anything anymore. It's important, of course, that you do it reasonably and don't, like a maniac, say, “I'm not going to stop editing the film”. Technically, I found that going through this process with Final Cut was incredibly convenient. Even the re-delivery process was very relaxed. If you document it thoughtfully! And if there's one tool that invites you to do that, it's Final Cut. You get lists beaten out of there, technical solutions via Resolve and other tools... you can do things that are otherwise very difficult.","DANIEL: I think they were a bit keen on it, but they also saw, I think, that I do comparatively complex tracking stuff that you have to get to grips with somehow. But I was totally accepted by them. They sent me an alpha version early on so that I could work here. And that was just totally awesome, I thought. It was like a little nerd convention, over email and a little bit of chat, just solving problems with each other. So, you know, the nice thing was that I didn't really have a deadline. It wasn't like, fuck, now I've lost three days with some technical problem and I have to hustle through it so that I can keep to my timing. And I had a short contact with the X2Pro people, Marquis Broadcast. They also helped a lot to identify the problem in the first place. For example, we were talking about 32-bit audio. I think they've got a handle on all that in the meantime. (edit: yes. Fixed in 4.5.16) And that was just great that someone could make a reasonable statement. That you don't somehow only look for the error in yourself and don't understand why there is only noise in ProTools.","DANIEL: I worked with that as well. Yeah, that was great. So I did all the VFX lists with Producers Best Friend. Absolutely awesome. Even with thumbnails! If I had done that by hand, I would have been on it for a week.","DANIEL: Probably.

This was all tracked using a Google Sheet with the shots available to the whole team via Box.","As the edit started to come together, I’d share my thoughts with Mike and the producer who would look at WIP edits and communicate notes back to the animators based on shots that may need some minor tweaks to help the edit. It might be a frame here and there or (very occasionally) a whole rethink, but due to time restraints, we’d often have to compromise, focusing on what served the story and what was achievable in the time and with the resources we had at our disposal.","Being from a live action background, this was a different workflow for me. During pre-production, Mike would board each episode and build an animatic in Storyboard Pro which had a voice scratch track that Mike would produce himself, along with basic sound design elements and some music tracks for reference.","Below you’ll see my basic library setup for the project. The Library title was unfortunately auto generated by PostLab so the naming convention is a bit funky. A while ago, Chris Hocking who is the head of post at LateNite introduced using emojis in our Event & Folder naming structures. Although a simple thing, I’ve found this to be useful in identifying folders and events quickly and efficiently, particularly when you’re under the pump. Sometimes it’s the little things that help to keep a workflow moving.","Due to the pace in which we were working, and with multiple animators across each episode, there would occasionally be minor slip ups with the colour of a prop or a missing design element as we cut from a wide to a tight. In this instance, if we could we’d do a quick fix we would, rather than having to go back to the animator who might’ve already moved on to the next episode.","For post, we set up the project in PostLab so we could utilise the collaboration tools it offered. We encountered a few issues, with some work lost when uploading changes, however the terrible internet in Melbourne could have equally been to blame. As mentioned, the animatics for the series were produced in Storyboard Pro, from which we could export Final Cut Pro XML (.xml) files, along with any rendered visuals separated by panels. Using SendToX, I then produced a timeline with cut points along with Mike’s temp audio work. This was essentially my starting point.","Hi! I'm Kevin, the editor of The Future of Everything, a 2D animated anthology comedy series created by writer/director Mike Greaney.","If we got stuck, we’d occasionally have to pull some tricks, like repeating frames or holding frames to get the frame or two required to fix our issues.","Once I got into the edit, I would use Mike’s animatic for timing, to spot any unwanted changes that may have occurred during the migration, and to spot missing shots that may have gone unallocated or missed by the team. On episode one, I would sometimes use the .xml from the animatics to do scene detection in DaVinci Resolve, however I found that the exports from Storyboard Pro were reliable, so I abandoned this step pretty early on.","Once we had what we’ll call our first assembly edit in place with our completed shots, I’d look at the rhythm of each shot in the context of the edit, and start building a more robust sound design from the animatic.","Once we locked our edit - we’d then turn over our temp sound and music to the designer and composer respectively. On this job we were fortunate that Dead on Sound handled both. We’d export an AAF with X2Pro, with settings to discard any inactive or disabled audio. We’d also embed the audio with eight-second handles. When the mixes and stems came back as .wav files, it was just a matter of adding them as connected clips, assigning a new role, and disabling all other audio roles.","One area where live action differs from animation, is that the animatic is where you get your timing and ‘edit’ right before you start animating. Our focus during this period was sharing notes between the team on Frame.io and finessing the animatic so that by the time we entered the edit, there were really only minor tweaks required to reach our final locked off master.","That first episode was about setting up how our workflow was going to function, so there was a bit or trial and error involved, but once we found something that worked for our post team, as well as Mike and the producers, we stuck to it for the remainder of the series.","This Post-it note on top is my first prop design debut, helping to fix a continuity problem.","To finish with an interesting aside - we found that the episodes with less dialogue and narration tended to be the ones that required more tweaks, as the pacing tended to be more dictated by the animation rather than sound. Not hugely relevant to our workflow, but interesting none the less!","With the first twelve shots that I received, I exported ProRes 4444 from Adobe Animate and then imported them into keyword collections, that were organised by date, in the Animations Event I’d created. This became my process, eventually welcoming all 51 shots into my timeline for episode one. As mentioned, I used the .xml to help me lineup shots for timing, and would export weekly WIP edits for Mike and the producers to review."]},{"l":"Watch Series"},{"l":"Discuss this page"}],[{"i":"der-schatten-the-shadow","l":"Der Schatten (The Shadow)","p":["Case Study for a Mystery Thriller Series"]},{"l":"The Story","p":["A young journalist, Norah, moves from Berlin to Vienna to start a new job.

These little chunks are reordered so that you can watch every similar part of every take in succession. In this way you can quickly compare every angle and find the best shot or dialogue.","Shortly before our production started Chris Hocking had the Titles to Keywords feature for CommandPost ready (commissioned by Knut Hake) and it rendered my old workflow obsolet. Before, we would tag every Sync Clip in the Browser with keywords. Even with dedicated shortcuts and scripting it was not an easy task. If you made a mistake and had to go back one step you could loose orientation. Now, we can complete the entire process within a timeline and with titles and we can also adjust each step throughout the process.","As you can see below its as easy as:","Create a title with dedicated name (e.g. part 01)","Copy it over to the next take, adjust length, and so on","then you send it to Titles to Keywords and are presented with an Event, where all takes are thoroughly tagged with a keyword for every part , which you can then rename with more information, if needed.

This is small enough to have good orientation and, at the same time, not too many keywords, which also can be distracting. Depending on the length of the scene, we would have 5-9 keywords for our \"parts\"-system. The new process takes around than 20 minutes per scene, compared to the old approach, which could take up to 1 hour. The result is something like what's shown in the picture above: When you click on the keyword, which has parts of dialogue or a description of the moment in the name, you can quickly find the line you're looking for (circled in yellow). With the skimmer, it's a matter of milliseconds to play them in succession, select one, and exchange it with the take in the timeline. I also use this for the initial selection process in longer scenes.

I am a Producer-Director and Editor based in New Delhi, India. I collaborate on independent projects while also running my own creative production company called The Qurious Studio. I am the Editor on the Discovery+ India science documentary India’s Space Odyssey. It bagged the award for Best Current Affairs programme for a single Asian market at the Content Asia Awards.","I have used FCP X since its inception in 2011, while we were still working on FCP 7 and I have been a FCPX user ever since FCP 7. The transition from FCP 7 to FCPX was fairly smooth for me, however it was not the same story out there. For most editors the change was overwhelming, particularly the Producers and Production companies became extremely hesitant towards editing on FCPX. And with FCP7 dissolving, premiere occupied most of its space.","So, when I was asked to edit Space Odyssey, like a disclaimer, I had to tell them I edit on FCPX and if that is cool. Now, FCPX has to not just struggle with lack of information on it but also misinformation in the popular circle. I addressed few of their concerns holding my ground with confidence and then I believe they did not had much of a choice given the pandemic as well, so they gave it a nod.","India’s Space Odyssey is the story of the Indian Space Program that goes six decades back to as early as 1962 and before. That meant there was going to be a plethora of data to be managed, while we edit. A lot of which has to be archival footage, in all kinds of files and formats and the last thing to be shoot data. Like I remember the first batch of data, about 20 GB, sourced from NASA archives was eventually never used. All that clubbed with the data, Pria who produced and directed, and her team, shooting remotely in different parts of the world, would also come to my edit studio as they happen.","So I could anticipate much in advance that the core need on this project would be to have a robust data management within FCPX and outside as well. I took some time before the data could start coming in to do some homework on organising and structuring data, in order to follow a process that helps me when the project grows up to be complex. For this specific process demand, I could bring everything to work from keyword collections, smart collections to notes and metadata. Further I spoke to a few seniors but mostly wanted to peek into any pro editors process. Looking around YouTube, I feel most fcpx tuts/videos are often created in context to YouTube content only and there’s limited resources on YouTube for Pro editors. But I did find some help, one of the helpful videos I easily recall was from This Guy Edits, that helped look around the process of an editor to a Academy Nominated Doc. In conclusion, I think by end of project nothing else proved more crucial than doing that homework on organising and building a process to manage data because I never missed or struggled to find a file till the project finished.","Outside FCPX, I had used a drive cloning application to make an automated clone of the drive I was working on every few hours, since I was editing from my home studio and there were no RAID Storages.","Further, I had introduced Frame.io to the production team, since review and feedback were in question as I insisted on editing at my home studio and did not wanted to edit at a rental studio given my COVID-19 precautions/reservations. At the end Frame.io just didn’t turn out to be a saviour but it was so well received that it was further used by the production team on their other projects as well.","In terms of editing, I was editing on a 2017 27-inch iMac with 24GB RAM and an external monitor and I’ve never had a considerable hiccup with regards to FCPX’s performance and stability. It is one of those reasons that I had never left FCPX for, it is safe, stable and unbothering. Good organising, optimising legacy formats, keeping ample space in drives, managing volumes of render files, using Video-Audio roles from scratch, easy multicam syncing-editing and good old cutting were some key highlights to my workflow. Additionally, the documentary, perhaps due to budget constraints, was also colour corrected and graded in FCPX mostly using default tools. All in all, I could simply focus much more on the creative aspect of edit and lesser on the technical requirements once correctly setup. The FCPX workflow allowed me to have the headspace to discuss the edit creatively with my director and address creative concerns.","That said, there were still some genuine questions during the project, some answered and some had to be taken outside FCPX for help. Those addressed were like when exporting master the Discovery specification required a .mxf (OP1a) and I had to dig internet to learn and satisfy my director, that FCPX’s MXF export is by default wrapped in OP1a format. Others that did not find an answer were like the LKFS parameter, for which I could not find a solution within FCPX and I had to take my export file to Premiere Pro which had a LKFS meter.","Beyond performance and stability, I also use FCPX because I find the interface design much less intimidating and chaotic as compared to its contemporaries. The only complain is that there’s much less confidence in the industry on FCPX. And since I do not edit on any other NLE, I am turned down on many many more gigs compared to the numbers I am accepted on. Apple too seem to not take it with much seriousness as they do to their other products.

With Blood & Gold we moved into a new studio in Berlin which made us reconsider a few key aspects of our workflow.","We've been using PostLab for a couple of years already and love the stress-free collaboration and its backup abilities. Working on large libraries requires a lot of up- and downloading which were constrained by our internet bandwidth. I setup a PostLab Local server on a M1 Mac mini which greatly reduced upload times (down to around 60 secs from previously 10-15 mins). The instructions to setup a Local server can be found in the Hedge documentation and we were able to set it up in 2 days without any prior knowledge of GitLab. For additional security we implemented Tailscale (Wireguard VPN) to restrict access to the server, which also allows us to access libraries remotely.","We considered a Jellyfish NAS for our media management, but couldn't justify the cost for our 2-person studio. PostLab Drive is a great tool for working remotely, but it still requires all media to be uploaded to their server. We were looking for a similar tool that would keep our media in sync which lead me to Syncthing. It allows you to sync directly over your local ethernet network, but also syncs peer-to-peer over WAN access. For additional security these connections are also running through Tailscale. This setup allows us to be very mobile and we solely work off OWC Envoy Pro SX 4TB drives which are super-fast and rugged. In addition we keep daily backups on two OWC ThunderBay Flex 8 drives.","Before shooting started we talked with our post-production supervisor, sound recordist, script supervisor, camera department and DIT on set to align our workflows.","We discuss editing codecs and naming of media files. We usually prefer ProRes 422 LT files because of the excellent quality to size ratio that is suitable for cinema screenings.","It is especially important to make sure they shoot with permanently synced timecode. For the sound files it is important to carry over the iXML information so that FCP can read the correct channel names.","With all of the above set we continue to setup our edit bays and our workflow down this project.","An in-depth version of our workflow can be found here: Final Cut Pro Workflow for feature films"]},{"l":"System Setup","p":["Post Haste allows you to save folder structures as a template. Huge timesaver as we name all drives or RAIDs identically and work with the exact same folder hierarchy.","Syncthing enables us to synchronize all media in the background between our different edit bays. It works over the internet as well as on a local network without the need to upload lots of data.","Tailscale is a super easy VPN solution for building secure networks and allows you to remotely access from any network or physical location.","Notion is our database to keep track of the production status of each scene, VFX shots and other useful information."]},{"l":"Edit Preparation","p":["We use a number of different tools to prepare our shooting days:","PostLab offers stress-free collaboration for Final Cut Pro. Upload your FCP Library and everybody on your team can access it over the cloud. It also serves as a time-machine as you can revert to any uploaded iteration of your library. Starting with this production we moved to PostLab Local.","Lockit Network is a powerful script supervising tool that collects metadata on set which can be ingested into Final Cut Pro without the need to manually copy-paste important script notes.","Sync-N-Link is a tool to batch synchronize dual-system audio and video and to batch-create multicams. You can also use a target project to create synced clips in a different aspect ratio.","CommandPost is the Swiss Army Knife for Post Production Professionals. It offers several toolboxes that offer huge time savings. One of which is to create line-by-line keywords:\" The Titles to Keywords toolbox is a huge timesaver when editing complex scenes.

We used MacWhipser with on-device transcription and then translate it using DeepL to generate captions.","Blood & Gold included lots of fighting and shooting sequences. We used Audio Design Desk to do temp SFX layouts which made this process fun and super quick. Their Final Cut Pro integration made things a really smooth process.","We used chapter markers to tag VFX shots as they are easily searchable in the timeline Index.","Create a Compound clip for every VFX shot and place all iterations inside.

I said straight away I was going to edit this on FCP. Augusto told me, \"I don't really care what you use to edit. That's your thing. Run with it\".","FCP is so fast that we spent more time focusing on the creative aspect of editing and not on the technical ones.","For sound turnovers, she used X2Pro to create AAFs, which our sound team praised. Our AAFs were very well organized. We can thank FCP roles feature for that.","However, when I was asked to edit Netflix's \"Gloria\", I opted for Premiere instead, due to the post-production house's lack of experience with FCP.","I also called the color grading and sound studios to talk about validating my XMLs and AAFs. That workflow test went seamlessly.","I wish this case study could be longer, but the editorial process was so smooth that I really don't have much to say.","Marcos Castiel (Ep's 1, 2, 5 & 7)","Originally, the plan was for me to edit all seven episodes, but time constraints meant I had to share my workload with another editor, Pedro Ribeiro.","Our 1st assistant, Maria Ruiz, smoothly handled VFX turnovers and color using FCP's native XML.","Pedro is an avid user and veteran editor, so I had to break the news to him that, for this one, he was using FCP. Pedro spent two weeks learning the software, and that was it.","The editorial collaboration was made possible by PostLab, a third-party software tool since FCP does not have native collaboration built-in.","The English title of the upcoming series, \"Turn of the Tide\", holds a deeper meaning for me.","The production company asked for a workflow test, which I confidently agreed to.","The production company initially resisted the idea of using FCP, and I vented my frustration to fellow editors about the lack of trust in FCP for major projects.","The same issue arose when I edited the feature film \"Remains of the Wind,\" which was also done in Premiere.","To prepare, I read Knut and Sam's Notion Workflow Guide for FCP on feature and episodic TV, which I highly recommend to anyone using FCP for fiction.","We used shared storage and edited seamlessly without technical hiccups."]},{"l":"Trailer"},{"l":"Poster"},{"l":"Screenshots"},{"l":"Discuss this page"}],[{"i":"neighbours---erinsborough-high","l":"Neighbours - Erinsborough High","p":["As you can see in the screenshot below, we group everything by shoot day (in the year, month, day format so it’s listed alphabetically), then a sub-folder for individual cameras, sound and continuity notes, and then separated by card. We were sometimes shooting 50fps on the Odyssey 7Q+, so the “B” cards listed below are from those.","Because we were doing regular card dumps, we were only really ever a card dump or two behind the shoot. Within a couple of hours after wrapping the whole shoot, we had rough assembly edits of all episodes in Final Cut Pro.","Because we’d done so much organisation and prep-work both before the shoot and during the shooting, it meant we could spend our editing days just being creative, which was so much fun. During the producers screening, the feedback was incredibly positive, and we were able to action of lot of the feedback straight away. This is where Final Cut Pro really shines.","Chris Hocking from LateNite Films explains how his team used Final Cut Pro to edit, mix, grade, and deliver the much anticipated series \"Neighbours - Erinsborough High\" for Fremantle Australia.","Chris Hocking has been working in the entertainment industry professionally since he was fourteen – although he’s been hanging around backstage since as long he could remember. His first proper job was operating animatronics for a BBC kids show, before moving on to lighting design for live productions which has taken him all around Australia as well as Taiwan, South Africa and New Zealand. He was previously the Post Production Supervisor at Melbourne’s award winning editing house The Butchery, and finishing house The Refinery. He’s the founder and General Manager at LateNite Films, and has both producing and editing credits on a wide variety of projects including high profile music videos, television series, documentaries and feature films.","Everything went fairly smoothly. There are some things that Apple could definitely implement to make our lives easier, such as mask tracking in the colour tools, better sharing and relinking in relation to Camera & Custom LUTs, the option to turn on a timecode overlay on the A/V Output for client reviews without putting a timecode generator on the top of your project.","For final delivery, we needed to deliver ProRes masters with bars and tone, countdown and slate and OP-59 compliant audio. To create the legal audio, we exported each episode out as a AIFF, then brought it into RX7 to make compliant then brought back into FCP. We prefer this method, rather than using a compound clip and a loudness plugin within FCP.","For the few Odyssey 50fps clips that spanned multiple files, we decided to just manually combine them within a synchronized clip in FCP. We also manually synced the slowed-down audio using a clapperboard, so we had that as a reference.","For this year, Fremantle developed a 5-part spin-off series titled “Neighbours: Erinsborough High”, delving deeper into the lives of the teen characters at Erinsborough High with more complex storylines reflective of issues faced by teens universally. Creator Jason Herbison and Series Producer Natalie Lynch stepped away from the traditional look and tone of Neighbours, creating a darker look and broody feel.","How did you get involved in this project?","I did all of the sound design myself directly within FCP with the help of iZotope RX7, ERA 4 Bundle Pro, and a handful of other Waves plugins. There were a couple of tricky lines that I needed to take out to RX7 standalone to cleanup, but most of the time I could do any noise reduction right on the FCP timeline with RX7.","I have a huge hatred of emoji’s in general, and refuse to use them on my phone, however, they’re a massive help in FCP to allow you eye to easily navigate to something. We also used other emoji’s as a visual aid, for example we used a snail to easily highlight 50fps shots and a camera to highlight video diary scenes.","If you haven’t already read Bradley’s amazing article comparing all the popular offload software solutions - I highly recommend it. Bradley is an extremely knowledgeable camera assistant and DIT who has worked with us on numerous jobs. Whilst he wholeheartedly recommends Silverstack, I got to spend a bit of time with the Hedge team at NAB earlier in the year, and I’m happy with my decision to continue to use it as my preferred off-load tool. It’s fast, simple, rock-solid and has a beautiful modern UI.","In 2018, Neighbours recognized the newly introduced marriage equality bill with the first same-sex wedding and this year introduced to the regular cast the first transgender character played by actor and trans advocate Georgie Stone. Neighbours screens locally on Network TEN’s Peach channel and 10 Play and is among the highest rating programs on Channel 5 in the UK.","In hindsight, what was your experience doing everything inside FCP from ingest to delivery?","In terms of our master library layout, this is how it ended up:","In terms of visual effects, there was a bunch of general cleanup work we did in FCP, and a handful of shots that we took to Adobe After Effects & Mocha Pro for things like object removal, digital makeup and cleanup.","In the series, the characters are constantly communicating with each other via iMessages. For the graphics for this, after testing a bunch of other products, and experimenting with our own Motion template, we ended up using the incredible “Text Message 2” Motion Template from BretFX. Bret Williams was absolutely fantastic in terms of addressing some special feature requests we had, and gave us access to a pre-release of “Text Message 2” for this show.","It has been a stepping stone for Australia’s biggest Hollywood names and musicians such as Kyle Minogue, Guy Pearce, Jason Donovan, Margot Robbie, Delta Goodrem, Alan Dale, Jesse Spencer, Eliza Taylor-Cotter, Natalie Imbruglia and Holly Valance, just to name a few.","It would also be awesome if FCP or Compressor had audio loudness and compliance tools built-in, and it would be amazing if you could apply effects and adjust the master gain on audio Roles and Subroles. The way I see this working is you’d select the role in the Timeline Index, then adjust it in the Inspector.","Jaque had developed his own LUTs for each scene after doing camera tests prior to the shoot, which he was using both on-set for the directors monitor, which we also used in post for the offline edit. At the end of each day, if there were any LUTs that didn’t feel right when he was shooting, we would send him a still at the end of the day, and he would create a new LUT at home in Resolve and send it to us to replace in Final Cut Pro.","Just little things like having the opening titles as Compound Clips meant that I could quickly adjust something and all edits would update instantly, or if I needed to tweak a temporary grade, I could just do it within the Multicam clip to automatically update all other instances of the clip.","Kevin ended up doing the grade all within Final Cut Pro. We used a mixture of all the built-in colour tools (wheels, board, curves, etc), Magic Bullet Cosmo II, FilmConvertPro2, Colorista III, mLut by motionVFX, and the CoreMelt Everything bundle. We also used Alex4D’s adjustment layer and Grow/Shrink and SmoothMove extensively.","Kevin was working off a 5K iMac, and I was working off my MacBook Pro connected to an 5K LG. Our main storage was an OWC Jellyfish Mobile connected via 10GbE to both Mac’s. The Jellyfish was literally just sitting behind our iMac. The fact that it’s very powerful yet so quiet and easy to transport (thanks to its top handle), makes it an ideal on-set shared storage system.","Luckily, as I’ve worked with Jaque the cinematographer before, we had a really good on-set relationship. So he was happy for me to essentially act as a 2nd AC in a lot of ways. We were also very fortunate that we’ve worked with a lot of the other crew on various other jobs over the years, so every one was very happy and excited to be mixing things up.","Luckily, the producers gave us a huge amount of freedom and trust to use whatever tools we wanted, and allowed us to design our own workflow. We started chatting with the team in May, by July it was agreed that LateNite would handle the full post production workflow using Final Cut Pro.","Mixing 5 x TV half episodes all within FCP was more time consuming for me compared to using a DAW such as Protools or Logic Pro. However, the benefit was that if I couldn’t fix something easily in the sound design stage (we didn’t have time to do ADR for example), I could simply adjust the edit there and then. If I came up with an audio-based gag, I could also adjust the edit to make things work.","Most of the cast were still also working on the main show simultaneously, which made this project a massive logistical endeavour for the production team. As we were constantly jumping back and forth between locations due to cast availabilities, we uploaded frame grabs of each scene to Dropbox so that our DP could easily compare lighting setups. To do this, Kevin would just insert a shot from each scene into a temporary timeline, bulk change the duration to one frame, then use CommandPost’s Timeline Batch Export feature to export individual stills with the same clip naming.","Neighbours is the longest-running drama series on Australian television, celebrating its 35th Anniversary in 2020. It is produced by Fremantle and still today is viewed by a global audience of millions, making it one of Australia's most successful media exports.","Once a card dump was synced, keywords applied, clips rejected and favourited, we’d then merge these events into our master library on the Jellyfish and delete the temporary library. In terms of splitting the workload between Kevin & myself, generally I would do all the data wrangling and syncing, then either Kevin or myself would do the keywords and rejection/favourites.","Once in keyword collections, we reject any unusable bits of footage, and favourite anything that stands out. The great thing about the Sound Devices 788T is that you can set it up to prefix filenames with an @ symbol if they’re “circled takes”. We’d then manually rename these clips after they’ve been synced to use an emoji for an easy visual cue:","Once we had copied the rushes to three drives, we then used good old drag and drop to bring the media into FCP. We would create a new temporary library for each card dump, where we’d bring in the media, give the two cameras an angle label, then use Sync-N-Link to sync them up, using the filename from the audio files.","Our company LateNite Films has had close ties with Neighbours for a number of years. My business partner Nicholas Colla is currently directing a block of the main show and his wife (and LateNite writer director/producer) Nicolette Minster wrote Episode 1 of this spin-off series. When Neighbours producers Natalie Lynch & Natalie Mandel were in the planning stages for Erinsborough High, they reached out to us to get a quote for the visual effects and colour grading for the series because they loved our work on The Wizards of Aus - a series we did a few years back that premiered as 3 x 30’ episodes for television and later released as a 6-part web-series on YouTube.","Our in-house LateNite colourist and editing guru, Kevin Luk was on-set with me for the shoot, and we were setup in one of the spare production offices. I originally was going to setup a standing desk on one of our Magliner trolleys - but I ended up loaning that to the production team to make transporting gear around the studio easier, so I improvised.","The cast is a mix of regulars from the main series and new faces, along with some students and teachers who've previously only appeared on the main show in a guest capacity. The series runs in parallel to the main show, as the disappearance of a Year 12 student during the exam period leads to some surprising revelations from the students.","The Jellyfish was our “master” drive, and the two 4TB SDDs were our backups. Each night both Kevin and myself would take a drive home for safety, and I would backup my drive to another hard drive overnight.","The main show has a very traditional paper-based workflow, with lots of marked up scripts for the editors, continuity notes, camera reports, sound reports, etc. and they’re used to doing a maximum of two card dumps a day - so it was definitely a little bit of a shock to the system for the 1st AD when we demanded much more regular card dumps, and requested no physical paper of anything.","The Neighbours team produces 259 episodes a year for the main show. From story plotting to on-screen It takes six months, and from filming to on-screen it’s 11 weeks. They assemble rushes daily, then have a 2-3 day directors cut, and a 1-2 day producers lock-off for the offline. As you can imagine their post team is pretty much always flat out, so adding an additional 5 half-hour episodes was obviously going to put a lot of additional stress on their already busy department.","The next week, we had one more day with the director to do any final tweaks that he wanted to do, and another day with him to build recaps for each episode, then it was straight into finishing.","The original plan was for the in-house Neighbours post team to handle data wrangling and offline editing using Media Composer at their studios in Nunawading, then we’d tackle grade, sound, online and delivery. As we learned more about the series, we explained the advantages of taking the whole post production process external.","The ProRes masters were delivered the post team at the main show who use Technicolor to do a final QC and review prior to dispatch. We used Producers Best Friend to generate music reports that were used to create music cue sheets.","The series follows the highs and lows of the residents of Erinsborough, a fictional suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, providing an entertaining reflection of today’s diverse community.","The shoot was 2 days of exteriors with minimal crew, 5 days in the studio, and 1 day of exterior pickups. Everything was on the studio grounds, with the exception of an afternoon shooting at an actual school across the road from the studio.","The show was shot on two Sony FS7s. Majority of the footage was shot to 1920x1080 ProRes @ 25fps, however for the occasional 50fps shot, they switched over to recording to an out-board Odyssey 7Q+, also in ProRes, as the camera can’t capture 50fps in ProRes natively. We’re very much used to shooting 4K or 8K, and it wouldn’t have had any impact on our post workflow, but it was decided to just shoot HD to stay consistent with the main show.","The sound recordist (the legendary John McKerrow) was using a Sound Devices 788T which was timecode synced to both cameras using Tentacle Sync’s. We made sure the sound recordist accurately labelled all tracks, and did circle takes where appropriate. We’d use a EPISODE-SCENE SHOT-TAKE filename, which we’d later use in FCP to label our rushes.","This article was originally written for fcp.co in 2018. Ronny Courtens has kindly allowed us to release it on FCP Cafe. Thank you! Thank you to Tyler Nelson for formatting for FCP Cafe!","This was fantastic, as it meant we were cutting with pictures that looked the way the DOP intended. Kevin also had a calibrated Eizo monitor connected to his iMac, which meant we could accurately judge the footage on-set.","To me, “driving” Final Cut Pro feels the same as taking control of an Autodesk Flame or Smoke - you truly feel like an artist and a musician, where the tools can keep up with your mental thought process.","We decided early on to attempt to do the grade, sound design and delivery all within Final Cut Pro for both schedule and budget reasons, but also to creative flexibility as we could adjust the edit as needed when doing both sound design.","We did one final half day of pickups on a Monday, then we packed up our temporary office and moved back into the LateNite office. Kevin spent the afternoon finishing off the assemblies of all episode, then he handed over the controls to me to take over editing.","We ended up with a tiny 2.17 TB of rushes at the end of the production. Because the shooting schedule was so intense, there was no time for the director or cinematographer to review rushes. When shooting in the studios, the producers had camera feeds into their production offices so they could review throughout the day.","We then had Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday morning to do a directors cut of all Episodes ready for a producers screening on the Thursday at 3pm. Over the years, we’ve competed in and won quite a few 48 Hour Film Project competitions. So, whilst the schedule was fairly intense, it wasn’t as scary or stressful as some projects we’ve done in the past.","We tried to do as many regular card dumps as we could - generally around 6 a day. Because we were all in the same location, I would get a text message from the Script Supervisor when they were close to wrapping a scene, and I would walk up ready to collect the two camera cards, and a sound card. I’d then take it back to our little lair, and use Hedge to backup the cards to two 4TB SSDs and to the Jellyfish.","We used a Blackmagic MultiDock 10G via USB-C for dumping the Odyssey SSDs, and a USB3 reader for dumping the XQD cards. The Sound Devices cards came to us as CF cards.","We used the same folder structure as we use for all jobs. We have a folder for rushes, and then have sub- folders for each application. We don’t use a template or Post Haste, as I don’t like having a bunch of empty folders making things messy. Instead we just have a standard procedure that all our staff follow, so everything’s consistent.","We’d then go through and keyword everything into ScriptSync-style keywords for easy access. Kevin built these keywords based off the script prior to the shoot, and we modified them as needed.","When a card dump was all organised and in the master library, Kevin would start putting together an assembly edit, with generator placeholders for missing scenes based on the script.","When we first started shooting, we had Daryl Watson (the incredible script supervisor) working off a Shot Notes X Excel template, which we intended to import back in as metadata. However, after the first couple of card dumps we decided against this, as we were getting “circle takes” and scene/shot/take in the sound metadata anyway. Rather than go off his “favourites”, we had time to do our own selects when reviewing and assembling the footage anyway. We still got Daryl to email us the Excel documents at each card dump as a reference if needed, but we didn’t actually use Shot Notes X in the end.","When we first started toying with the idea of taking over the entire post workflow for this series, we knew that the only way we’d agree to do it is if we had the freedom to use Final Cut Pro as our tool of choice - as opposed to Avid Media Composer, which is used on the main show. I’m very used to an Avid workflow and whilst I love certain aspects about it, I feel way more creative when I use Final Cut Pro.","When we heard that this series was edited and finished in Final Cut Pro by LateNite Films, I decided to sit down with Chris Hocking, one of the founders the company and also the creator of the free and open source automation tool 'CommandPost'. We will talk in detail about how they used Final Cut Pro to not only edit the entire series, but also handle the grade, the sound design, and the final delivery. Enjoy!","Written by Ronny Courtens."]},{"l":"CommandPost","p":["A scrolling timeline.","Ability to Ignore Inserted Camera Cards.","Absolutely.

In this way a user can apply and execute different prompts just by selecting the single set.","Perhaps this thing I wrote may sound a bit ... “ pompous,” or “ self-praising,” however, I tried very hard to think from the end user's point of view: the organization of prompts into sets allows you to generate an immense amount of content by simply doing two clicks by first selecting the set and then running the analysis.","My competitor with this application, MacWhisper, an application that I greatly value and respect (let me be clear!) has been providing for several months now the ability to query ChatGPT with prompts, but these must be written by hand.","My system, on the other hand, provides for doing the work once, and then applying it later all the times automatically, and in the case of more common prompts, these are ready-made and implemented by yours truly.","The system by the way allows for prompts and sets to be updated, continuously, without having to update the application."]},{"i":"one-small-planet-many-different-languages","l":"One small planet, many different languages","p":["When I started writing the first prompts-which, I recall, are the “ questions” posed to the artificial intelligence to be answered-I thought I would have to create numerous prompts in all the languages I wanted to support.","Of course, I started with English, thinking that I would then be able to translate all these prompts more or less automatically, specifying the language as well.","Later, almost by accident, I submitted an Italian text for analysis using English prompts. To my surprise, I noticed that in most cases the response was still given in Italian. By repeating the processing several times, I was sometimes getting answers in Italian, sometimes in English.","It is important to know that unless you intentionally force them, the responses of all these artificial intelligence systems, not just ChatGPT, have a component of probabilistic variability. This means that, using the exact same prompt, you can get very different results as well.","These systems do not really understand languages, but rather are formidable imitators of human language. They do not even know the words themselves, but rather the particles that make them up (in jargon called tokens). They respond by trying to find the best solution to the question formulated.","If most of the text is in Italian, even if the question is asked in English, there is a good chance they will answer in Italian.","So I went a step further: at all system prompts I specified to answer using the same language as the content, even if the question is in English. In this way, I was able to achieve a very high success rate: to date, out of more than 200 prompts, in only one case was the answer given in English against a text in Italian. By repeating the request, I obtained the desired solution.","In conclusion, with a margin of error of less than 1% (and probably much less), NQR provides results in the same language as the content being analyzed.

And we were still talking about GPT-3 a couple of years ago. I had seen with my very own eyes, finally, a machine pass the Turing test brilliantly.","But then, as with all things, I delved deeper, had my own experience, and realized which things LLMs do excellently and which, still, struggle to solve even with sufficiency.","Given that these tools are continually improving, at a breakneck pace (but at some point the power consumption will be so high that they cannot go beyond a certain ceiling), I have learned to exploit them for what they are: a great help, an excellent kick-start, something that can get you out of the deadlock of the white paper, but definitely not a final solution.","When I record an episode of my podcast, rather quickly, I take advantage of these tools to have description, tags, title. But then, for the most important information, I get on the keyboard and correct the errors, take out what is not needed and add the misses.","My philosophy is to take this metadata that is generated and rework it in such a way that from a “just enough” level you get to “more than satisfactory.”","You have to look at the responses of artificial intelligence a little bit like the work of a newly hired intern: you always have to check what it is doing, because, in the end, anyway, the people who put the face on it are us..."]},{"l":"Discovering hidden things","p":["When I handed over the final version of the application to the guys at FxFactory for them to publish on the store, I then focused on the prompts.","Since these could be added and changed without updating the application, I thought it would be a nice gift for all users to have as much functionality as possible ready “ out of the box”.","Always starting from the content I create, particularly the wine podcast, I developed some prompts that allowed me to have a fresh look at the content itself.","Initially I started with URLs: I wanted to know what links were being quoted in the broadcast, so I created this prompt:","A relatively simple thing that, however, when I ran it, made me discover that there were many more references in an episode than I remembered:","For me it was really a revelation: the clever “ stupidity” of LLMs had made me discover something I had forgotten.","Now, if you think about it for a moment, this is one of the most important and relevant things about this whole article, but also about everything we think or can think about this class of tools!","These objects do a cold analysis, without love, without passion, without even understanding what they are doing, however, they do it rather precisely. I emphasize: “ rather precise,” not “ infallible,” let me be clear.","Simply put, they make us discover or, better yet, rediscover something about the content, so that we can really have metadata that also has semantic meaning!","I went ahead and developed other prompts, such as this one that identifies brands:","Or this one that tries to figure out who the participants are if they are mentioned:","I realize that I have only begun to scratch the surface of what can be done.

Basically, instead of me writing what I needed, as I always did, I asked the artificial intelligence, again via one of NQR's prompts, to write the prompt for generating the image, to be passed then, by copying and pasting it, into Firefly.","It is interesting this first level of recursiveness: one prompt generating another prompt...","But then, since OpenAI has the API to directly generate images with the DALL-E model, I thought it would be nice to bypass this whole round. At a not insignificant cost-we're speaking of a few cents, not a few thousandths-I decided to go ahead with direct generation.","That said, as of now images can be generated directly from within Transcriber!","You can choose the model, DALL-E 2 or DALL-E 3 (DALL-E 2 is absolutely unqualifiable in quality, I think they only keep it on because there are some applications that use it). For DALL-E 3 you can choose to generate a square or 16:9 image, either horizontally or vertically.","You can also choose to generate a standard image or one with a “vivid” pattern, which creates more aesthetically pleasing results that look more like stock photos instead of regular photos.","Generating a 16:9 image comes in at a cost of $0.12."]},{"i":"money-money-money","l":"Money, Money, Money!","p":["But how much does this stuff cost?","Probably by the time you read this article I will have updated Transcriber with the new version of the system that also shows how much you paid per generation.","The costs, using the GPT-4o-mini model, are really low: we're talking about $0.15 per million prompt tokens($0.60 per million response tokens), which translates, roughly speaking, to something like $0.003-0.004 for a single prompt and its response on a 30-minute video.","Simply put, doing a dozen or so prompts, more or less, with even an image, you end up spending something in the range of $0.15-0.25.","If you are not interested in image generation, the costs drop into the range of $0.01-0.03!","A lot? Little? I'll leave it up to you to decide; as far as I'm concerned, these are really small prices.","Just to do the math: with what a coffee at the bar costs here in Italy (which, despite being the home of coffee, is one of the places where coffee, although the best in the world, costs less) you can run hundreds of prompts.","In August, in which I tested this system far and wide with all my content, even generating dozens of images, I spent only $4 with OpenAI: the cost of a cappuccino and a brioche...","You may argue that the model I use, GPT-4-o-mini, is much cheaper than GPT-4, which is, according to OpenAI, more refined.

And what ties it to ChatGPT? I will try to explain things in a simple and certainly inaccurate way, so those who understand a little about artificial intelligence, plug their ears...","Whisper is a transformer, and while Siri, Alexia, and Google try to understand the word or phrase that was spoken, Whisper goes a little bit wide and also tries to understand the context of each phoneme, and through a very broad knowledge base as well as statistical calculations, tries to make each word follow the word that makes the most sense, consistent with what is being spoken.","Whisper's wide model takes up a good 3GB, a little more in memory when it runs, but it is still to be considered a \"basic\" model, probably ChatGPT four is at least 100 times bigger - which is why it will be difficult to run something like this on our computers.","Rose-water technical details aside, this is one explanation of why Whisper is so much more accurate and also succeeds where other transcription systems stall: in the unfortunate event that it does not understand a word or part of a word, it \"reconstructs\" it from what comes before and what comes after.","Another major struggle was to \"teach\" (although perhaps the correct term would be to specify) Whisper to also generate punctuation marks, such as periods, commas, question marks, and escalation marks.","Pay attention to this: when you dictate to Siri you have to specify the punctuation mark you want to add.","Small color note: this very article is accomplished by dictating to Siri while I am moving between home and office by car.","One of the great peculiarities of Whisper is that it can also figure out what punctuation marks are, but this is not something it does automatically, you have to specify some input parameters so that it understands that the context has to include them as well."]},{"l":"Before the prototype","p":["In short, teased by the Twitter discussion and the endorsement, I started playing around with this system, trying to figure out what I could get out of it and what the limitations of the technology were.","I think I managed to make a very first prototype, with, of course, a horrible user interface within 7-10 days. And, of course, I started testing it with all the work I was doing in March 2023, projects of various kinds: from pharmaceutical video presentations to a video game trailer to some tutorials.","Here I encountered the first limitations of Whisper, which performs exceptionally well when the audio is quite clear, content with a speaker or interviews, while it goes deeply into crisis in case music or sound effects are present.","Initially, I told myself that this would not be a big problem, just specify in the requirements that the application was best suited for spoken content, nevertheless I felt the need to refine it, so I rolled up my sleeves and wondered if there was a possibility of parsing the audio in such a way as to find the points where there was speech and then eliminate those where there was only music or sound effects.","I succeeded by taking advantage of some libraries provided by Apple for analyzing sounds. Subsequently, one thing I have been working on in parallel with both this app and the one that does text-to-speech is the highlighting of sentences in sync with the video (or, rather, with the audio).","I always thought that when doing a speech review, physically, the people in charge have in front of them a sheet, printed in Courier font, with all the features of the script. For this very reason I wanted the words and sentences to be written in this same style, not so much for skeuomorphism, but because it is still the most effective and efficient method of reading the text while listening to the related audio.","I worked not a little in such a way as to continuously highlight the line of text that is \"spoken\" at a particular moment in time.","When there is information that varies over time, the concept of a timeline is one of the strongest: it transforms the horizontal axis into that of time, so the playhead moves from left to right as the playback continues.","Showing in a two-dimensional screen information that evolves over time is never a trivial matter, not least because it involves making user interfaces and real-time interaction methods, which in some ways have more to do with video games than with video writing programs...","This is why I am particularly proud of this part of the code; not only is the segment highlighted with the sentence being spoken, but it is also easy to interact with it by correcting any transcription errors.","It sounds like a breeze, but believe me, it's not!"]},{"l":"3GB of passion","p":["Another big problem stemmed from the fact that the model I wanted to use, again in open source and with respect to legality, takes up a good 3GB, as I mentioned earlier.","Downloading a 3GB application, as annoying as it may seem, is not that problematic, for the installation to begin with.","But then I thought about all the times there would be a need for an upgrade, and downloading 3 GB of stuff, most of it always the same, would be particularly troublesome, especially in areas of the world where connection speeds are not comparable to those of the big European or North American metropolises.","So I set to work on making a system that would allow the downloading of the template only the first time, and among other things in \"shared\" mode, so that in case I wanted to develop another application based on the same technology, it could safely use the model already downloaded (spoiler: thing I have actually already done with FCP Video Tag)."]},{"l":"The field test","p":["\"Of course yes!\", I replied, and the fact that I had a real use case, with tight deadlines and a not inconsiderable qualitative demand, led me to work heavily on the application, so as to improve as much as possible the interface and also the possibility of exporting the subtitles in different formats, including text with total transcription, unsynchronized, and later also RTF with time code indication in a different style.","And it was during the interviews that it was asked if it was possible to have even a rough transcript of what was being said for medical and scientific review.","And since Transcriber's purpose is to extract the subtitles from the audio, I thought, more or less simply, to add precisely the subtitle overlay to the video, so the eyes are all and always in the same area of the screen.","At the end of April I had to go to Florence to attend a medical conference and do several interviews with many doctors, in a total of 12 languages, including English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Polish, and Brazilian Portuguese.","I patted myself on the back because this stuff, in the end, among the transcription applications, I guess I only had it...","I told myself that there had to be a way to \"split\" a subtitle while still keeping the text in sync with the video.","In practice, the traditional transcription process, which involved typing the texts while continuing to pause the video, translates into an automatic process of \"raw\" transcription, which must necessarily be followed by a (much faster) checking phase.","In the end I decided that, as an option enabled by default, the system tries to figure out whether the user has pressed the ENTER button to wrap, and when it is pressed, the split sentence automatically generates two subtitles that are fairly synchronized to the video, where \"fairly\" means \"more or less imperceptibly.\"","Just by making these doctor interview videos, I told myself that by keeping the video played at the top of the interface separate with the transcribed text at the bottom, the user's attention would be focused on only one of the two.","Just looking at the overlay subtitles, I realized that although I had struggled not a little to try to get Whisper to digest the punctuation marks, in some cases the sentences were so long that they would result in huge subtitles that would take up too much of the screen.","Let me be clear: I have always considered Transcriber as a semi-automatic tool, this means that the transcription should still be reviewed a human being.","The boundary conditions are simple: artificial intelligences are very fast, very efficient and also very effective, but they don't understand what they are doing; it's just data to them. It's up to us to maintain control.","This also sounds like a no-brainer, but it's not, not least because the system, during playback, continuously updates itself (about 30 times per second) to try to figure out where it is, among all the phrases being spoken which one is active at that instant of time, and then highlights it at the bottom and shows the text content superimposed on the video.","This has led to better fluidity in handling the interface and the ability to interact very easily and very quickly on the text stream.","This is the philosophy of all the apps I make: automate as much as possible, while still leaving control, verification and, not least, responsibility to a flesh-and-blood guy.","You see, my applications are born and grow in a fairly almost \"autistic\" way, but then it is really with user testing (and also when I make tutorials) that I discover the limitations and areas where they can be improved."]},{"l":"Text Editor","p":["One of the features of Transcriber that I like best is the text editor, the subtitle editor.","From a purely technical and data structure point of view, each of the scripts corresponds to a different record in the document's \"internal database,\" called the Session.","When working with text, however, for example with Microsoft Word or Pages, what appears in the sheet is a single text that can be edited easily.","I did a lot of work so that text editing would be as similar as possible to that of a traditional word processor, while still allowing for the ability to manage how the texts remain \"attached\" (i.e., synchronized) to the video.","The whole component of transcription, and managing the synchronized texts, was one of the most complex but at the same time also quite elegant things I have ever done.","I tried to make things as simple as possible and as intuitive as possible for the user, while going out of my way to mask any complexities.","If a title is too long, it is highlighted with a red dot which means that, given its length, it would take up too much space in the frame.","The user then has the option of standing anywhere in the text and pressing the ENTER button to wrap, and by wrapping, in a natural way, the subtitle is broken into two different titles while still keeping all the words in sync.","Said like that sounds like a piece of cake, but believe me, this is something non-trivial! And this is also how I have operated with regard to the separation of subtitles while they are being transcribed and generated: trying to isolate sentences or sentence segments (separated by commas, \",\") as much as possible, so that we always have meaningful content to display, without truncated sentences or with subjects being in one subtitle and verbs being in another subtitle."]},{"i":"i-got-a-publisher","l":"I got a publisher!","p":["At the end of 2022 I was contacted by the guys at FxFactory because they were interested in publishing some of my apps on their store, on their marketplace.","This filled me with joy, pride, and also with fear: for the first time I would be playing in the big leagues, and I would have to maintain much higher quality standards; this time I would not be doing everything myself, but I would also have to be accountable to someone else for my work.","Initially we had planned to bring a couple of my most popular apps, such as BeatMark Pro or FCP Diet 2, to this marketplace, adding features and cleaning up the interface.","I, however, proposed that they start with a completely new app, whose name initially was Transcriptor.","I initially met some resistance, partly because such apps already existed, such as the aforementioned Macwhisper.","I then explained the reasons why this new app of mine could be something alternative and provide added and different value than the others.","In concomitance with NAB, where several apps that make use of artificial intelligence to aid production and post production were presented or announced, those in charge of FxFactory were convinced and switched on the green light.","One thing needs to be emphasized: FxFactory is not only a store, a showcase, but those who run it put their faces first and consequently require a level of quality, communication, and even user experience that is far superior to what I had had up to that point.","If I had commercialized Transcriber all by myself, it would probably have come out in some form of its own in late April or early May 2023.","Instead, FxFactory raised my bar higher and higher, trying to reach heights of communication, user interface, functionality, and overall quality level that I was not used to.","And, I have to be honest, I don't think I can thank them enough for making me grow, and making me grow so fast."]},{"l":"Exporting to Final Cut Pro","p":["Initially Transcriber was not supposed to allow exporting subtitles to Final Cut Pro because I already have an application in my catalog that does just that, FCP SRT Importer 2, by the way one of my most successful applications (which means that the gentlemen at Apple and whoever is in charge of managing Final Cut Pro development should ask themselves some questions if so many people need such a basic feature...).","Let's say I didn't want to cannibalize myself, even though I knew Transcriber would be a higher cost application, there would probably be enough of a market for one to buy Transcriber bundled with FCP SRT Importer 2.","But then, again for that Florence job, I realized that the double step: transcribing the subtitles, revising, exporting the subtitles to SRT format, then bringing them back into FCP SRT Importer 2, and finally communicating the whole thing with Final Cut Pro, was really... a big pain in the ass!","In the end I had all the technology, the know-how, why not add this feature to Transcriber as well?","And so I did, in the span of only one day I added all the features that were already in FCP SRT Importer 2 directly inside Transcriber.","It has to be said that, having chosen to make the UI in SwiftUI, creating configuration panels was never very complex, and one could focus more on business logic than on appearance and user interaction.","In short, the app was taking shape the decidedly concrete way."]},{"l":"Multiple SRTs","p":["The work of doctors in Florence has evolved over time, and the client also asked me for the ability to view interviews, but with subtitles translated into various languages.","Nothing could be simpler: after doing the transcription and export in SRT format, I proceeded to have these subtitles translated; and then imported into FCP SRT Importer 2 to make the localized videos in the various languages.","This, however, resulted in a decidedly disrupted workflow where I could not actually see the effect of the translated subtitles without first exporting them, or making a peer comparison between each individual sentence from the original to the translated version.","So it is, in a moment of madness (Alex, for next time, remember not to do this kind of thing again with a product that has not yet been released!) I expanded the underlying model, the data structure, to allow multiple subtitle imports.","Basically now Transcriber allows you to have infinite streams of subtitles, in various languages, and also to show side by side the original and translated sentence.","It may sound like a triviality, but this is really a very powerful feature, especially for those working with \"minor\" languages, for which localization, translation, export, and management of different streams is an integral part of the production and post production process.","Basically, with all this work done under the hood, I had transformed Transcriber from an application that deals with a single link in the localization management chain, into an aggregation center that allows for a global and centralized view of projects, always in synchronization between text and video.","Oh boy, this stuff was getting serious!"]},{"l":"The Dome Factory","p":["In the meantime, we got to the beginning of June 2023, I kept asking to get the application launched, but the publisher kept asking me for more and more refinements and better management of the interface.","They were certainly right, but the timing of these final cleanups and subsequent approval left me with an open project, and every time I used it, which happens pretty much every day, I would come up with little features to add.","As a result, what should have been a \"Minumum Viable Product\" was becoming an increasingly complex application, and of course with the need to handle any bugs I would generate by adding new code."]},{"i":"videos-videos-videos","l":"Videos, videos, videos!","p":["Since I had started to develop a system for synthetic speech of more or less \"sufficient\" quality, I decided to change the way I make promotional videos and this time use a synthetic speaker.","This might be a more or less debatable choice, I am the first to fear very much the \"uncanny valley\" effect, but I believe that the quality level of synthetic voices has reached such a level that, in any case, at least from my point of view, it is preferable to a promotional video made with only overlay text.","So here I made my first promo video.","And, because the application is definitely complex, some things may even seem intuitive, but to understand how the workflow works in my opinion you need to sit down for a moment and understand a little bit what is the best way to operate, I decided to also make some tutorials of increasing complexity, making use of both screen captures and animations made with Adobe After Effects, which is the program I use most in my first job as a video maker.","This time I tried to maintain a distinctly high level of quality, not only in the promo but also for all the side videos, it was a really big effort, maybe it might not look like it, however trying to show things in a quick, effective, clear, understandable way without becoming pompous, is not a child's play...","Find all the videos I made for Transcriber here.","And, in addition, one important thing there is to say: every time I set out to make a tutorial, therefore trying to do things the way any user would do them, I find a lot of mistakes or things that can be improved, so to make a video of a few minutes, it can take me even several days because, in the meantime, I am working on the code and improving the interface or adding features."]},{"l":"The run-up before the jump","p":["By early July 2023, the application had reached a level of stability that FxFactory said was sufficient to be marketed.","I was then asked to create artwork and a minimum description for marketing, as well as a promotional video.","All things I had already prepared, however, small problem: in the promotional video I had made I had used an image taken from a very famous movie.","Nothing you can't see anyway in any kind of promotional material from this same movie, however, the publisher politely asked me to replace it with something else so as to avoid any copyright issues.","Datum done, in one day I revamped the promotional video and made all the art work.","I was basically ready to go."]},{"l":"The

and I noticed because I got the first email notification of successful transaction.","I was finally able to post news of the launch on Twitter with the link to be able to download the app in trial mode (for the record: in the trial version it allows you to transcribe the first 45 seconds of the movie or import subtitles for the first 45 seconds).","I spent months raising expectations about this app on Twitter, to the point where I had probably lost some credibility as well: I felt I was ready to launch in late April, early May, and then instead it was a full two months later...","Was it worth the wait?","From the end users' point of view I don't know, from my point of view?","Heck, yes!","This was the craziest launch ever since I started having this small software development business.","Having a publisher like FxFactory behind me, I achieved in two weeks what I set out to achieve in two years!","This does not mean that I have become rich, this does not mean that the pressure has eased, and after the initial explosion, the values settle down to a more or less quiet regime.","And the first week, but perhaps also the second week, were weeks of great work on my part to improve the things that were missing, add the features that were requested, as well as fix some idiosyncrasies and bugs: I had never been able to test the application with complex languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and I found that syntactic construction and more or less \"special\" characters needed to be handled more accurately.","Let's say that I haven't slept, or slept very little, for about two weeks now..."]},{"i":"and-now","l":"And now?","p":["Now, that this app is in the world, since it is in the hands of so many people, I have discovered so many use cases and

of.","The first weeks, the first months after launch are characterized by a flood of new ideas and suggestions, many of which can be accepted and turned into new features, some of which cannot, because they would meet the needs of too few users or would be difficult to implement...","No app is perfect, no app is complete, software is increasingly something that is constantly evolving and transforming.","Very often I look back and think that many of the programs I have built over the years came about because Apple had not put some functionalities, even very basic ones, directly inside

work with little added creative value.","In the meantime, I'm working on at least two or three other new apps that I'd like to bring to market, tools that can help video makers who do everything

Philip & Gregory have kindly allowed us to release it on FCP Cafe. Thank you!"]},{"l":"Introduction","p":["About ten years ago I wrote an article for KenStone.net called What is XML, and what does it mean for Final Cut Studio users. In that ten years we’ve had a new version of Final Cut Pro with a whole new XML structure, and Premiere Pro CC has added import and export of Final Cut Pro classic XML.","There is a broad ecosystem of apps that depend on XML from Final Cut Pro X or Premiere Pro, many from our company, Intelligent Assistance Software.","Without the ability to round-trip XML it would be up to Apple to implement every single requested feature. We know full well that niche workflows — the type easily supported by XML — take a lot longer to reach the top of the implementation list. Many desirable features will never make it to the main app. An open, well documented, XML interchange format allows third party developers to fill these niches and extend Final Cut Pro X without having to seek permission from anyone."]},{"i":"what-is-xml","l":"What is XML?","p":["It’s likely you’ve heard the term XML and even used some of the workflow or translation apps that it enables, but still aren’t really sure what it is, and how it gets used. That’s not surprising because “XML” is an umbrella term for a way of presenting information that is:","Human and machine readable","Self-describing","When you first look at an XML file, it hardly seems human readable, but it is once you gain a little basic understanding. Most importantly it is readable by software, so Final Cut Pro X can import the XML that describes a Project, Event or Library. Similarly FCP classic and Premiere Pro can import Bins of clips and Projects from the appropriate XML.","That last point is important - from the appropriate XML - because there is no single “XML”. Each type of XML is unique to the application it supports because an XML file describes the data structures of that application.","It should come as no surprise, then that the XML from, or for, Final Cut Pro X is as completely different as Final Cut Pro X is from FCP classic (spoiler alert: there are no tracks in FCPX XML).","In fact, almost the first thing any XML file does is to declare what type of XML it is."]},{"l":"Figure 1","p":["Classic FCP (and Premiere Pro CC) is xmeml:","The modern Final Cut Pro X XML is fcpxml:","Motion .motn file (which is actually XML) is ozml:","These days, the dominant user of xmeml is Premiere Pro CC. For many years now Premiere Pro has imported, and exported, a variation of xmeml. Certainly all development work on our XML translation apps since 2013 has gone to support Premiere Pro’s version of xmeml.","Premiere Pro works with a slightly modified xmeml based on the XML from FCP Classic version 6 — not the latest — that has Adobe specific tags included. Throughout this article we’ll be comparing XML from Final Cut Pro X and from Premiere Pro CC.","The second main attribute — self-describing — is an important benefit we get with XML over other formats like an EDL, or Comma Separated Variables (CSV). With these other data formats we only get the data. It’s up to the user, or software, to know what each element represents."]},{"l":"Figure 2","p":["Here’s some data from an EDL:","With XML each element in the file describes exactly what type of data is going to be presented, as we'll see shortly. In the next section we’ll elaborate on what an element is, and how it fits into Final Cut Pro XML."]},{"i":"whats-inside-xml","l":"What’s inside XML?","p":["If you’ve done any HTML work for the web or other purpose, then you’ll probably notice that XML looks a little familiar. That’s not surprising because they are both Markup Languages (the ‘ML’ in both cases).","For the web we mark up text with a HyperText Markup Language (HTML), which works well for pages of text. But for editing (or motion graphics in Motion) we want to transfer an almost infinite range of different information, which is why the X is for eXtensible. HTML is limited to display options, whereas XML, because it's extensible, does not have limits to the type of data that can be marked up.","Both HTML and XML mark up using tags. HTML marks up blocks of text to tell the browser how to display it. XML marks up blocks of data with tags that tell us what type of information or data is stored.","These markup tags tell us what type of data is stored between the tag ‘open’ and the ‘close’. A simple HTML example would be like this:","There are two sets of tags in this example: the pair of 'p' tags tell the browser to display all the text between the opening p and closing /p tags as a paragraph, and the pair of b /b tags tell the browser to display the word \"beginning\" in bold.","Likewise in an XML file there are tags. but these tags tell the reader or computer what type of information is between the tags. Instead of paragraphs we might have timecode at the start of a Timecode entry, and /timecode at the end of a Timecode entry. Like the b /b tags in the paragraph above, all XML tags can nest as well. This means we can have this piece of XML code that gives keyword and marker details for a Clip (out of a FCP X XML export):","In this example, the keyword tag is “self closing” by the simple use of / inside the last . It also nests data within the tag as attributes. Start, duration and value are attributes for the tag keyword.","It’s a much more efficient structure, which is one of the reasons why fcpxml is so much more concise than xmeml. Expressed the old way without attributes this data would look something like:","XML tags define the type of data that is between the tags. An EDL file, which also carries data about clips and edits (but a much older format) contains only data. Unless you know in advance what each item in each line in the EDL above means, you can't infer it. With XML that data would be explicitly described by being marked up with tags. (An EDL file usually describes the types of data in the first line.)","Each type of XML file customizes the tags for the appropriate data in that file. Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro classic’s XML describes clips (and other items) within a project’s video and audio tracks. Final Cut Pro X’s XML describes clips (and others) within a project’s single primary storyline, with connected clips (and others) and secondary storylines connected to items in the primary storyline. That is why we can’t open XML out of Premiere Pro directly in Final Cut Pro X, or vice versa. They, literally, do not speak the same language.","So it’s important that we know which type of XML file we're talking about and which version. In Figure 1 you can see that we have the type of XML, and also the version number. The version number is also important. Final Cut Pro X version 10.2 can open version 1.5 of fcpxml, but it cannot open version 1.6 from 10.3. (Final Cut Pro X 10.3 allows saving as version 1.5 XML for this reason, and opens older versions of fcpxml.)"]},{"i":"xml-or-aaf","l":"XML or AAF?","p":["As well as Premiere Pro and FCP Classic, there are other applications like Media 100 and Sony Vegas — among others — that support xmeml. There is increasing support for Final Cut Pro X’s fcpxml format other than in the app itself. For example, Atomos recorders only output fcpxml, and Logic Pro X imports fcpxml. Resolve supports both versions for timelines.","The only NLE that supports no version of XML is Avid’s Media Composer. Avid helped develop the ‘open’ Advanced Authoring Format, or AAF, and uses that for it’s Project format on disc.","The primary difference between AAF and XML, beyond the fact that they’re representing different data structures, is that AAF is a binary format that is only machine readable, while XML is presented as plain text, which both machines and people can read. (Maybe you too, by the end of this article.)","Both Premiere Pro CC and Resolve will attempt to translate edited timelines between XML and AAF, and are generally successful with simple timelines, but it’s unlikely effects and transitions will be fully compatible."]},{"i":"lets-get-practical","l":"Let’s get practical","p":["We think it helps to have practical examples that introduce the two types of XML we’re interested in: xmeml (Premiere Pro) and fcpxml (Final Cut Pro X).

These examples are as similar as we could make them.","From both Final Cut Pro X and Premiere Pro you can view XML by exporting an XML file from a Final Cut Pro X Event or Library, or Premiere Pro Project. XML files can be opened in a text editor to view the content.

We’re going to use the exported .xml to find similar information: the file path to the media file, clip frame rate, clip Log Note and Markers:","The clip frame rate comes from a combination of the timebase and ntsc elements. Combined they tell us 30 frames per second but compliant with NTSC standards. We know it as 29.97 fps.","The clip’s Markers are:","The file path to the media is the content of the pathurl tag, and the frame rate is described in the rate element: timebase at 30 frames per second when ntsc is TRUE means 29.97 fps — or more accurately 30,000/1,001 or 60,000/2,002. (If this was 25 fps PAL footage the timebase would be 25 and ntsc would be FALSE.)","The first frame of the media file is 108,418 because this file has timecode and does not start at zero. We’ve also got information about the number of audio channels and the sample rate of the audio.","The first marker has the name“Interview, Michael” and has in and out elements. These numbers represent the relative number of frames from the beginning of the clip, so the first marker starts at the beginning and has a duration of 16,618 - 0 = 16,618 frames which is the end of the clip (yes, markers can have a duration). The first frame of the clip is 108,418, so that’s the frame number where the marker starts.","The Log Note is in the content of the logginginfo element’s lognote child.","The other two markers have an out of -1 which means they only have a single frame at the in point, and the markers are 527 and 1,017 frames respectively from the start of the clip. Markers can optionally have comment text in the comment element.(If this was XML from Final Cut Pro 7 the markers would also have red/green/blue/alpha elements describing the color of the marker, but PPro actually uses FCP6 XML which does not support colored markers.)","To get to the Log Note and Markers we have to skip over descriptions of the audio tracks until we get to this at the bottom of the clip:","To save space, Premiere Pro exports this full file listing only once. Any other time it appears in the XML is a reference back to the full file listing using the unique id attribute, like this:","We set out to find “the file path to the media file, clip frame rate, clip Log Note and Markers”","Wow, that’s a lot of XML and a lot of repetition, but it’s the same information that’s in the asset and format elements in the .fcpxml file. The main difference is that the numbers represent frame counts rather than rational seconds, which makes the math a lot easier.

When you develop an application, your project links to one or more frameworks. For example, iPhone application projects link by default to the Foundation, UIKit, and Core Graphics frameworks. Your code accesses the capabilities of a framework through the application programming interface (API), which is published by the framework through its header files. Because the library is dynamically shared, multiple applications can access the framework code and resources simultaneously. The system loads the code and resources of a framework into memory, as needed, and shares the one copy of a resource among all applications."]},{"l":"History Lesson","p":["Phil Pan writes on Alex4D's Facebook Page:","I worked on that team for five years. There wasn't much work done on merging Shake and FCP. Most of the advanced work done by the core Shake team focused on the Helium renderer, which today is core to Pro Apps today. Shake's genius was how it was ultra-efficient as CPU-only code. Management had little interest in Shake and most resources went to Motion and Aperture; projects that Steve could related to when he wasn't completely absorbed by the iPad, the iPhone and the iTunes business ecosystem. The author of this patent, Christophe Souchard, is a French mathematician who had tons of prior experience at Discreet/Autodesk. He joined Apple when it purchased his Senso technology, which was the first Intel-based library to do advanced image scaling and frame-rate conversion using motion vector estimation. While at Apple, Christophe's skills impressed management enough that his position was labelled \"Applied Magic\", and a veteran aerospace software engineer was hired to perform curation and clerical code management for his inventions. He introduced the team to methods using partial differential equations and while exteremely slow to compute, his next-generation prototypes performed jaw-dropping feats 15 years before similar tools would be introduced by Adobe. None of this work ever came out because Apple had a policy not to release compute-intensive software. Randy Ubillos (father of FCP and close to Steve) wouldn't accept any operation that took longer than a second per frame to render. This relegated Christophe to a research position for a while, until Randy got so impressed that he monopolized Christophe to work on advanced concepts for FCPX. Randy had some clever ideas about shot alignment and automatic editing, and this patent is the result of one of their collaborative projects. Today Christophe works at Unity Technologies doing advanced AR work, and he consults on the side when he has the time. He's recently rumored to have authored the rendering engine for ColorSynth, a complex colour grading plugin for FCPX and Premiere.","Helium was done in Santa Monica by the mad frenchmen team at Apple; Arnaud Hervas, Emmanuel Mogenet and Chrisophe Souchard. Arnaud was the co-founder of Nothing Real, the company that produced Shake. The idea was to do automatic tiled rendering using all available compute resources, so CPU cores and GPU(s). It was a lot trickier than people would think, as math functions would be rounded differently on different resources, and this would affect pixel values. The renderer has to evaluate the render graph to intelligently tile the proper regions-of-interest; i.e. it has to know the size of convolution kernels and all parts of a shader to produce tiles that will later merge properly, and it has to do all of this in real-time. Beautiful work. Emmanuel is now an executive at Google Research in Switzerland. Arnaud is growing tomatoes in Culver City, when he's not working on camera alignement software. Apple could have done a lot more in the high end, but in the last days of Steve, the company shifted its focus on the mass market and mobile devices. It was the right thing to do for all the reasons we know today (the Bottom Line being the most evident), but in so doing it hurt engineering effors in high-end imaging across the world; Adobe was going through a bad patch and the Discreet team at Autodesk was in disarray. The high-end was picked up by The Foundry: Its founder, Bruno Nicoletti (a Discreet alumnus) had the clever idea to acquire Nuke from Digital Domain and he had the skills and industry knowledge to turn it into the work-horse that it's become today. Still, Nuke is a geek's tool and there could have been an opportunity for a more artist-oriented solution in the high-end. This would not be one of Apple's pursuits: After a couple of years of soul-searching it became clear in 2007 that the future of Apple would be the iPhone and that all the Pro Apps stuff was no longer interesting. It survived nonetheless and I'd say that today the spirit of high(ish) end imaging is coming back to Apple. But so is the case at Adobe. In the end, the consumer wins and it's an exciting time to be buying graphics solutions."]},{"l":"Plugins","p":["Internally, Final Cut Pro supports and contains a number of different plugin types and formats:"]},{"l":"Compressor","p":["Contains CompressorKit.bundle- which can also be found in Compressor and Motion - it's basically the Compressor engine."]},{"l":"FCP-DAL","p":["Contains ACD.plugin- a CoreMediaIO plugin that enables the \"A/V Output\" feature in Final Cut Pro.","The CoreMediaIO Device Abstraction Layer (DAL) is analogous to CoreAudio’s Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL).

Let the adventure begin!"]},{"l":"Core Data","p":["Before we dig too deep into the Final Cut Pro library, it's important to understand one of the core technologies Apple uses in Final Cut Pro - Core Data.","Core Data is an object graph and persistence framework provided by Apple in the macOS and iOS operating systems. More than 13 years old now (at the time of writing), Core Data was introduced in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and iOS with iPhone SDK 3.0 and like many parts of macOS, Core Data owes much of its design to an earlier NeXT product, Enterprise Objects Framework (EOF).","You can watch the original 2004 WWDC session on Core Data here.","You can read Apple's official developer documentation on Core Data here.","Core Data is a framework that you use to manage the model layer objects in an application. It provides generalised and automated solutions to common tasks associated with object life cycle and object graph management, including persistence (meaning that, for example, an iPhone App can remember its settings each time the phone is turned off and on again).","It allows data organised by the relational entity–attribute model to be serialised into XML, binary, or SQLite stores. The data can be manipulated using higher level objects representing entities and their relationships. Core Data manages the serialised version.","Core Data can interface directly with SQLite, insulating the developer from the underlying SQL - but it's not a SQL wrapper, and offers a much higher level of abstraction. Instead of writing SQL, you can create complex queries by associating an NSPredicate object with a fetch request. However, because Core Data can use SQLite, it's easy to get confused with the differences between SQLite and Core Data. Remember that Core Data isn’t a database. If you want an Object-relational mapping (O/RM) or SQL wrapper, Core Data is not what you want.","Essentially, Core Data is a model layer technology, that's been designed to help programmers do lots of cool stuff, whilst writing less code. It's a toolkit that allows developers to more easily access and manipulate data. For example, it has built-in undo/redo management, allowing developers to add complex undo/redo functionality to their applications with minimum code.","Even though Core Data is a fantastic framework, there are several drawbacks. These drawbacks are directly related to the nature of the framework and how it works.","Core Data can only do its magic because it keeps the object graph it manages in memory. This means that it can only operate on records once they’re in memory. This is very different from performing a SQL query on a database. If you want to delete thousands of records, Core Data first needs to load each record into memory. It goes without saying that this results in memory and performance issues if done incorrectly.","Another important limitation is the threading model of Core Data. The framework expects to be run on a single thread. Fortunately, Core Data has evolved dramatically over the years and the framework has put various solutions in place to make working with Core Data in a multithreaded environment safer and easier.","For applications that need to manage a complex object graph (i.e. Final Cut Pro), Core Data is a great fit."]},{"l":"DeepSkyLite","p":["Final Cut Pro uses a lot of internal Frameworks, which you can learn more about here.","Within the Flexo Framework, is a framework called DeepSkyLite, which is essentially the \"database engine\" for Final Cut Pro.","Inside the DeepSkyLite Framework is two Compiled Core Data Models:","DSLite_v1.mom","DSLite_v2b1.mom","A .mom file is a binary property list that's NSKeyedArchiver encoded. You can easily open it up in something like BBEdit and have a look, but the easiest and best way to explore a Core Data Model is to just import it back into Xcode.","Here's what Final Cut Pro's model looks like in Xcode:","Patent Screenshot","Interestingly, this model is used for both Final Cut Pro on Mac and Final Cut Pro for iPad."]},{"l":"Reading a DeepSkyLite file","p":["Whilst there are third party tools that can read Core Data database, such as Core Data Lab- unfortunately we can't really use these tools for manipulating Final Cut Pro libraries.","The Core Data Lab developer explains...","To archive and store the mutated data via Core Data, you'll need the same private Apple class.","I'm afraid the only way to mutate the binary data is directly in a SQLite editor.","When using Core Data, your data mutations are validated by the Core Data Object Model. With SQLite you're working low level with nearly no rules, but the end result must still comply to the Core Data Object Model, otherwise the related app can't read the data or crashes.","Loading external libraries is theoretically possible but complicated. I don't know if it is possible in this case, apart from legal issues. Certainly not allowed for apps that you want to sell in the App Store.","So basically, there's no easy way to modify Core Data directly - but because DeepSkyLite is stored in a SQLite store, you can just use regular SQLite tools.","You can still however open them up in Core Data Lab:","You just don't have a lot of easy control to view and modify the binary blobs of data.","However, you can use DB Browser for SQLite to open, read and even manipulate DeepSkyLite data.","However, tread VERY carefully, as it's very easy to make a mistake and corrupt a DeepSkyLite file.","Simply open the .flexolibrary and .fcpevent files from within your from Final Cut Pro Library bundle in DB Browser for SQLite:"]},{"l":"Discuss this page"}],[{"l":"Patents","p":["Alex4D has a great blog post on the Magnetic Timeline patent (Media-editing application with media clips grouping capabilities) here.","The actual patent can be found here.","Here's one of the screenshots from the patent:"]},{"l":"Patents on Google Patents","p":["...it's a deep rabbit hole, enjoy!","Accelerator handles","Adjustment of color values for optimized image processing","Anchor point in media","Application for designing journals","Applying a Realistic Artistic Texture to Images","Associating keywords to media","Auto stacking of related images","Automatic generation of multi-camera media clips","Boolean Search User Interface","Christophe Souchard","Colleen Pendergast","Color adjustors for color segments","Context aware user interface for image editing","Context based adaptive image resampling","Display of multiple images","Edit to tape","Estimating and removing lens distortion from scenes","Fanning user interface control for medium editing application","Fanning user interface controls for a media editing application","Fast creation of video segments","Here's a small collection of Final Cut Pro related patents:","Import directly into specified folders and user interface","Interactive image thumbnails","Ken Matsuda","Media-editing application with media clips grouping capabilities","Method and apparatus for color correction","Method and apparatus for dynamically resizing windows","Method and interface for converting images to grayscale","Modified media presentation during scrubbing","Navigating Image Presentations","Navigation within a large computer file","Optimizing the Execution of Media Processing Routines Using a List of Routine Identifiers","Previewing effects applicable to digital media content","Producing Smooth Motion Compensated Frames by Combining Multiple Interpolation Results","Publishing Media Content to Virtual Movie Theatres","Randy Ubillos","Regular sampling and presentation of continuous media stream","Retiming media presentations","Rolling shutter distortion correction","Select drag and drop operations on video thumbnails across clip boundaries","Smoothing and/or locking operations in video editing","Spatial and temporal alignment of video sequences","Spatial conform operation for a media-editing application","Split edits","Synchronizing video with audio beats","Techniques for displaying digital images on a display","Two-dimensional timeline display of media items","Unified slider control for modifying multiple image properties","User interface tools for selectively applying effects to image","User interfaces for editing video clips","Video and audio waveform user interface","Video format for digital video recorder","Viewing digital images on a display using a virtual loupe","Viewing digital images using a floating controller","Visual presentation composition","Want to contribute?

We were transcoding the R3D files to Apple ProRes 422 HQ files at 1920×1080. We were using the full debayer quality, and REDSpace for both the Colour & Gamma spaces. This took a HUGE amount of time (almost two weeks of none stop processing), but at the end of the day we ended up with some terrific Quicktime files that we could throw into Final Cut Pro and start editing, plus we could also send these clips to the visual effects kids so that they could start playing. We did run into one slight problem after we THOUGHT that everything was done. On inspection of the transcoded files, we realised that all the Quicktimes for Day Two of shooting were EXACTLY the same as Day Four. I’m still not sure whether that was human error or REDrushes being annoying – but either way we had to re-transcode all of the day four footage. Unfortunately at this stage we had to give back the MacPro, so we had to do all of this on a stock standard first generation MacBook. It wasn’t quite as fast as the MacPro, but it got the job done. Eventually.","Although in the end we didn’t end up using any of the sync audio – we recorded audio separately to a Sound Devices 744T, which was synced to a Smart Slate. Originally we had planned to sync the camera to the 744T as well, but for some reason we couldn’t get it to work on the first day of shooting, so we gave up. I believe the problem has since been fixed with one of the RED ONE Firmware Updates. We only had one microphone on set – a Sennheiser 416 on a boom. We basically just recorded sound to use as a guide track for when it came to adding sound effects later on.","Although the plan was always to shoot to card for safety reasons (we’ve all got disaster stories to tell about Firestore’s dying and hard drives being dropped!) – we decided to gamble and record straight to the RED-DRIVE (a special drive designed for the camera which can store 320GB in a RAID 0 configuration). Not only that – but we decided to leave the dumping to the end of the day. This was a HUGE risk, because if the drive died at the end of the day, we’d potentially loose a whole days worth of shooting. However, we didn’t have the crew available to have a dedicated “data technician”, nor did we have the hardware to dump the cards on a regular basis. This may seem really silly (I mean seriously – all you need is a Mac laptop and a card reader!), but we had neither of those things at the time, and it was just easier to use what we had available. Luckily – nothing went wrong, and the RED-DRIVE was faultless – it never dropped a single frame! However, to anyone else planning to shoot on RED – I strongly recommend you do the complete opposite to what we did! Record to CF card and dump as soon as the card is full.","And that is the workflow we decided to use for Sakooz! At the moment we are just archiving all the project files to DVD, and keeping all the media on the SATAII drives. At some stage we will eventually put everything to LTO drives as a final backup – but we don’t have the money at the moment.","Arctic Whiteness has confirmed that Final Cut Pro Library Manager v3.98 works \"awfully well\" with Final Cut Pro 10.7.1.","At the end of each shooting day we dumped the RED-DRIVE and the 744T to two seperate 1TB SATAII drives. For the duration of the shoot we managed to borrow a brand new MacPro Tower from Julian at Eidolon Creative and used this machine to do all the dumping as well as the transcoding. We put the two 1TB drives directly into the MacPro. We ended up with 508.34GB of camera footage, and a couple of GB of audio. We ended up purchasing two additional 500GB SATAII drives to make another backup of all of the R3D files – which we then stored at two separate locations away from our master edit suite, just in case. We called the drives Pinky (Master Edit), Bluey (Backup of Master Edit), Tumbles (R3D Master) and Splash (backup of R3D Master), because that’s what the names of the Sakooz creatures are called. Anyway… Now normally, on a “proper” production, you would have RAIDs and RAID 5 protection, etc. But unfortunately, we simply didn’t have the money for that, so we just had to make do with what we had. We had to manually copy and paste the files for backup purposes – we basically did this at the end of each day. We also kept a copy of the Final Cut Pro project on two USB thumbdrives just in case. Just for laughs, here’s a photo of some of the drives from our rather odd-ball collection. The top right one is Pinky. We ended up taking the covers off the enclosures as we found they got too hot when in use all day and night long.","Beta 14 introduced Lua scripting - allowing you to programatically generate whatever text you want!","Big news: Colourlab Ai V3 Creator for Windows and Mac has landed! It's not just an update – it's a game-changer, rebuilt from scratch with a new Ai Color Engine, offering 10x more precision than ever.","Builder NLE v4.1.11 is out now with the following bug fixes:","By printing off the EDL we now had a hard copy of the trailer’s edit – which is always a good thing! But more importantly, it allowed us to easily track and manage everything. Because we couldn’t afford to purchase software such as Crimson Workflow, and we didn’t have time to write up our own proprietary software, we ended up doing a lot of things manually. For instance, we ended up going down the EDL line by line, and exporting a 1920×1080 DPX sequence from REDCINE. We made minor adjustments in REDCINE to get the most clean image and exported away. We put each shot in a different folder based on the EDL number assigned to the shot. For example, the first shot in the trailer was called 001_000001.DPX. This kept things nice and simple. Once every shot was exported out of REDCINE as DPX sequence (which took a night), it was ready for grading!","Carsten Kurpanek posted this really interesting Tweet on his Twitter feed:","Chris!","Color Intelligence writes:","Critical bug fix for loading new clips into the preview player (introduced in version v4.1.10)","From that Quicktime master we than could do any DVD, web, Blu-ray, etc. encodes using Compressor.","Grab Your Gift!

And so, we basically edited away for several weeks in Final Cut Pro 6. We ended up doing a very rough grade using the 3-way Colour Corrector just so that when we showed other people to get opinions, they were looking at something that looked half decent. We tried a huge amount of different things in terms of the edit – we used a lot of different music as guide tracks. We even copied the audio from other big Hollywood trailers (such as the Dark Knight) and cut our footage to their soundtrack just to see what we could come up with. It was a very painful, long, but fun and creative process that I certainly won’t forget any time soon!","If you have any questions about the workflow or how we did anything, feel free to post a comment. At some stage in the future we also hope to post some more detailed information on the various visual effects that featured in the trailer, so stay tuned!","In terms of Principle Photography, everything pretty much ran exactly the same as if we were shooting on film. We lit it exactly the same way, and Ben (our DOP) still had his light meter by his side. Because we needed to shoot so much very quickly (time wasn’t on our side), I decided against setting up a “video village” and even a directors monitor – preferring to be there in the action, behind Ben, peaking over his shoulder to watch the on-camera LCD. This worked really well.","Inspired by this Tweet, here's an old blog post I wrote back in December 2008:","It reminds me when I was back in film school in 2008, working on my SAKOOZ feature film proof-of-concept, which we shot on an early RED ONE.","It's still very much a work-in-progress, with the aim to release on the Mac App Store by end of January.","It's terrible, but you can watch the SAKOOZ trailer here:","It's worth having a look through the entire thread, as Carsten gives a lot of interesting insights into this fun workflow.","Merry Christmas Team!","Now with a whole heap of beautifully graded DPX sequences, it was time to do the online. I ended up doing this at University on a nice and speedy MacPro in After Effects CS3. I imported all of the DPX sequences, and then manually put them all in the correct places based on the printed EDL. Once that was complete I simply rendered out a Quicktime File using the Animation Codec. Here is a photo taken at about four o’clock in the morning after I’d been at uni for about fourty hours STRAIGHT working on Sakooz. You can see the insanity in my eyes.","Offlining using such high quality media may seem a little silly – I mean, really, we could have done a quarter res transcode to DV, and save a huge amount of time and disk space. Also, considering we were doing the offline on a bunch of eMac’s over Firewire 400 drives (that’s right… really old school eMac’s!), it would have also made the whole editing process a lot more fluid. However! By editing at such a great quality, it meant that whenever we did test screenings or had to show potential investors or sponsors, we could easily burn off a high-quality 1920×1080 Quicktime Movie that looks simply gorgeous even before grading. Here is a photo of our main editing machine.","Once the offline edit was complete, we tidied up the timeline so that everything was on the one track (where possible) and printed off an EDL. This then became our bible. At this stage, all the audio had been done in Final Cut Pro, with the occasional effect being done in Protools LE and Soundtrack Pro, and then exported out as an AIFF. We were still using guide track music.","Originally we had planned to do the grade at one of the major post houses in Melbourne, but due to a lack of time and money, we ended up getting a very talented film school graduate called Nick Reid to do the grade in Apple’s Color. Getting the DPX files into Color proved to be a bit more tricky than anticipated! We ended up purchasing yet another 1TB SATAII drive (called Gizmo) for the colour grade.","Quick Notes:","Season's Greetings, Colour Graders!","Simon Says Transcription v3.9.5 is out now with improved performance and bug fixes.","Syncs with DaVinci Resolve (more compatibility coming soon). January: Adding Premiere and FCP support. February: Pro Release with RAW support, SDI, and Tangent. Requirements: OS13+ or Windows 10.","The Metaburner Pro beta period continues the excitement with new awesome new features in each TestFlight release.","The only thing left to do was sound! Once Frank (our composer) finished, he simply gave us a 24-Bit 48KHz Broadcast Wave File, which we threw into Final Cut Pro. After a bit of tweaking – adjusting the sound effect levels to suit the new score, the sound was ready to rock and roll! Originally we had planned to do a quite complex 5.1 mix just for fun – but at the end of the day, no one was ever going to listen to it in surround sound anyway, so we decided to skip on that idea (for now at least). Once the sound was done, we exported an AIFF and then merged the Animation Codec video and AIFF together to create the Final Quicktime Master!","This wasn’t exactly the quickest workflow in the world (we did a lot of things manually that could have been easily avoided by using software such as Crimson Workflow, plus we used extremely old Mac’s and PC’s in a lot of cases), but a lot of it came down to money vs time. In some cases money won out, but more often than not, we decided to save money and do things the manual way. To be perfectly honest, it actually felt really nice to have a printed out EDL on which to direct everything! It felt much the same as the good old days with film!","We ended up with 16 visual effects in total (including graphics). Once a visual effect shot was completed it was exported as a 1920×1080 DPX sequence ready for grading. For your viewing pleasure, here are some photos of After Effects genius James Otter, working away! I have no idea what the cardboard cartons are for, or where he got them. Needless to say, these photos were taken at some ridiculous early hour of the morning, after James and I had been stuck at uni for AT LEAST forty hours STRAIGHT!","What we ended up doing was wrapping all the DPX files as Quicktimes manually using AJA’s free DPXtoQTTranslator utility. Once all of the DPX’s were wrapped (including all the visual effects), we manually re-created the Final Cut Pro timeline based on the printed EDL using the newly wrapped Quicktime files. We then exported out a XML file from Final Cut Pro. This XML file was brought into Color and grading could commence. Nick took a couple of days to do the grade, and once completed, he handed back Gizmo, ready for the final stages!","When we first started thinking about the best way to put together the Sakooz trailer, we originally thought that Super 16mm and a film scan route would be the most appropriate option given our budget, and the “Hollywood trailer” look that we were after. However, after various camera tests (we’ll post some further information on these tests another time), and a bit of number crunching, it became clear pretty quickly that shooting on the RED ONE was going to achieve better results, cost less and make the post production just that little bit easier (at least in theory) by keeping everything digital. And so, after getting in touch with Cail & Pete from Inspiration Studios, and doing some tests with their brand new toy camera – we decided to shoot the Sakooz trailer on RED.","Whilst I was trying to lock down the picture, others were playing around with the visual effects. Initially, tests and trials were done by the various VFX artists using the ProRes Quicktime files. However, once we had locked down the trailer in terms of the edit, we used REDCINE to export out 4K TIFF sequences and 2K/1K DPX sequences for the visual effects people to work on. Ashley Smart (who did the effects for the Shed Explosion Sequence) was using 4K TIFF Sequences in After Effects on a laptop (which is quite incredible). James Otter used 1K DPX sequences in Nuke, and After Effects to achieve a lot of the effects shots, on a PC. And I used a good old MacBook, running After Effects and Shake to do the remaining shots. I ended up using After Effect’s own tracker for most of the tracking work, although I did use PFTrack for one of the shots. I also used Syntheyes on an old Dell Laptop for a small section of another shot. For Pinky eyes, I ended up brining in 4K DPX sequences into After Effects – which was fairly interesting on the poor old MacBook! But it worked, and the shots came out OK considering…","With the grade now completed, we exported out AJA 10-bit Uncompressed RGB Quicktimes. We then used the AJA QTtoDPXTranslator to unwrap the Quicktime Files back to DPX files. As the AJA tool simply “wraps” the files – it doesn’t transcode them or anything like that, this process is really fast, although you do have to do it manually. For me, that means I have to do everything 69 times which isn’t too bad. The only annoying thing is that you have to rename all the clips again, as Color names everything sequentially, and we wanted everything named as per the bible (i.e. the EDL).","You can download the latest version on the Mac App Store here.","You can learn more and join the TestFlight beta here.","You can learn more here."]},{"l":"22nd December 2023","p":["Final Cut Pro 10.7.1 is out now!","This release includes:","Improves stability on Intel-based Mac models when using Color Wheels or Color Curves on H.264 video clips (reported on FCP Cafe here).","Fixes an issue with some default keyboard shortcuts working incorrectly on non-English keyboards.","Thanks for the fast turnaround Apple!","We'll test it over the coming days and weeks to see if there's any other undocumented changes/fixes.","Builder NLE v4.1.10 is out now with the following bug fixes:","Bug fixes for syncing the preview player with the selected text block after spliting or merging paragraphs","Bug fix for offline media warning dialog","You can download the latest version on the Mac App Store here.","Tight.

This is particularly important for professionals who require precision and high fidelity in their video projects. Additionally, FxPlug offers real-time performance, a crucial aspect for efficient workflow, allowing editors and motion graphic designers to preview effects without the need for time-consuming rendering.","One of the things I really LOVE about CommandPost is how quick and easy it is to build automation tools.","One potential workaround could be to create a Custom Share Destination, allowing you to export AIFFs of dialogue, music and effects separately, and then the Workflow Extension uses these mix downs for the processing, and then applies the audio adjustments to a Compound Clip of all the audio clips in that role.","Originally developed by Reuel Kim and it is no longer maintained.

I acknowledge the difficulty of achieving automatic ducking within Final Cut Pro, emphasizing the absence of this feature even in the latest versions.","The music goes up and then it fades out.","The video concludes with a mention of a pre-production meeting in Milan and my reluctance to take on low-budget, demanding projects. I express concerns about the future of Final Cut Pro, hinting at a possible decline.","The YouTube description says:","Then the dialogue finishes and then the music goes on for other 10 seconds.","There are a lot of apps that work inside of Final Cut Pro or using Final Cut Pro data and so they can take data from Final Cut Pro, computate them and then send them back to Final Cut.","There are third party frameworks for dealing with FCPXML too...","There is a diverse range of applications, and can vary widely in function, including tools for media asset management, stock footage libraries, music services, transcription services, and more.

This means editors can use third-party tools and services without leaving Final Cut Pro, maintaining a smooth and uninterrupted editing workflow.

For example, if you wanted to build a colour correction tool with powerful masking features, you could use OSCar Rectangle to allow your users to draw masks via an on-screen tool in the Apple Motion and Final Cut Pro Viewer.","Whilst OSCar Rectangle has been written in Objective-C using the FxPlug4 API (Apple Motion's Effects API for third party developers) - it's easily accessible within Apple's Motion, just like regular built-in tools, so anyone who's making Motion Templates in Apple Motion can make use of this functionality without knowing any code. Essentially these are tools to make it easier for people to make awesome Motion Templates, which can then be \"exposed\" in Final Cut Pro.","Luke is currently demonstrating OSCar Rectangle via a series of YouTube videos, with the intention of trying to raise funds to cover a new Mac and Apple Developer Account via this Indiegogo campaign. If he can raise the necessary funds to finish OSCar Rectangle, he will release the software for free, and potentially even open-source.","There are very few FxPlug4 developers in the world, especially in terms of solo indie developers - so it's awesome to see Luke really tackling uncharted territory.

As in 2023, we’ll be visiting Apple Park as part of the 2024 conference.","With the home base back at the Juniper Hotel, we once again have a bar in the same building as all the talks, and it’s also where most of us will be staying. With many restaurant options in easy walking distance, we should have many more chances for casual and unplanned hangouts with speakers, attendees and special guests.","Dates have shifted a little later this year, and it’s being held from 13-15 November 2024. As in 2023, we’ll kick off with Apple Day; a keynote, then a visit to Apple Park where we will be shown something. Since Spatial Video support has been promised this year, I’d expect there’s a fair chance we’ll see it in action at the Summit, presumably along with other new features, and the latest Macs and other gear in the demo room.","(An aside: is Spatial a big deal? It will be, eventually. I’m a big fan of the Apple Vision Pro today, and if you’ve not tried it yet, definitely do try one out. Yes, it’s expensive, but the experience it brings is unlike anything else, and it will become cheaper eventually. Craving something new? This is it.)","If you largely live online, or (like me) on the other side of the planet, it’s worth getting together with a bunch of like-minded editors every now and again. Online is OK, and yes, you can learn new things there, but food, drink, and proximity to actual people can’t be replaced. I won’t be the only Australian there either — Chris Hocking, the kind and benevolent person behind this site and CommandPost, is coming again this year. Be sure to say hi, and if you’re not already supporting CommandPost, buy him a drink!","After Apple Day, we’ll still have two days of talks, plus panels, special guests, and a tip show. I’m giving two talks this year, teaching you how to Make Useful Editing Tools with Motion on Thursday, and then on Friday 3D, Spatial and Immersive Video. The full program is here and there are some great talks scheduled. I’m personally very keen to learn how the Fitness+ team use FCP, to hear what Strada’s Michael Cioni has to say, and for the chat with Tyler Stalman before the closed-doors-no-recording-gloves-off Q&A with the FCP team.","If you’re an FCP editor, and you travel for just one video event a year, I think this is more fun than NAB — and it’s all about the people.

In previous years (2015-2019) we visited the old Apple campus, but this time we get to go to the shiny new one. There have been Global Summits held online, but they’re absolutely not the same. Yes, you can learn new things, but if you can’t eat too much Korean barbecue with new friends, it’s just not the same.","On the main two days of the conference, there will be many talks worth attending; some panels, a big, fun tip show, and plenty of talks in two separate tracks.

It’s not because it’s the best in-person FCP event of the year, though it is. It’s not even because you get to visit Apple and talk to the FCP team. Nope, because it’s the best place to make connections in the Final Cut Pro world, and because we haven’t had one of these since 2019.

They have worked very hard for over a decade on making Final Cut Pro better and better. This open letter is aimed at the executives who set the priorities of the Final Cut Pro development team and the Apple managers whose policies limit the public marketing of Final Cut Pro to a couple of website updates a year and some mentions in Apple keynotes about how much faster Apple hardware is getting.","The letter’s signatories aim was to encourage Apple to make a new commitment to the professional TV and filmmaking industry. They believe that would potentially benefit filmmakers the world over regardless of their personal NLE preferences.","Competition is a positive. Apple has demonstrated a willingness to swing big. The very fact that they are not exclusively tethered to our industry allows them to try things others likely can’t. We hope you’ll support us in encouraging one of the heaviest hitters in media and technology to more forcefully push the boundaries of all of our tools.","They gathered some comments about Final Cut Pro and Apple:","Galliano Olivier, editor of ‘Marianne,’ a French TV drama series edited in Final Cut and distributed by Netflix says “In France, it is extremely difficult to get permission to edit TV with Final Cut Pro. You can’t use it without fighting producers, directors, post-production supervisors, sound editors, etc...”","Knut Hake BFS, editor of ‘Blood Red Sky,’ a feature film distributed by Netflix and edited using Final Cut Pro commented, “I think it would make a big difference for workflow consultants, systems integrators and third-party developers if there was a public Beta program for Final Cut Pro. Apple already do it for iOS, macOS and even Safari. It would make Final Cut more reliable and make it much easier for people to fit Final Cut into their plans for the future.”","Steven Sanders, editor in chief of of the Fox TV series ‘War of the Worlds’ season 3 said “The two main reasons why I am often not allowed to chose my favourite editing application, which is Final Cut Pro are: 1. Collaboration! Editing big productions needs collaboration. Different users have to be able to access the same library at the same time. There is no way around this. Avid Media Composer does it and even DaVinci Resolve does it. Apple still targets the single user. They have to change that. That will change everything. 2. Many professionals do not know how Final Cut works. They are afraid of it, even regard is as ‘iMovie Pro.’ I hear that all the time in my business. This perception really has to change.\"","Vanessa E. Brogna, assistant editor of ‘Bridgerton’ one of the top TV shows on Netflix commented: “Final Cut Pro is my favorite NLE. It's an absolute powerhouse and I feel the most creative and productive. Doing one step in Final Cut is about 3-4 in other NLEs. However, the real magic of Final Cut is its free form style of editing. Editing on a magnetic timeline is streamlined and smooth so I can still be organized, but I'm able to spend more time experimenting in the edit creatively and finesse my work.“","Jeff Asher, editor of ‘Big Sky,’ a US TV series on ABC and Hulu, says “As a TV editor, my job consists of being creative and being fast. Final Cut is the best NLE to achieve both of those goals. Now we need Apple on board with a roadmap and open dialogue with Film and TV creators to restore confidence lost over ten years ago.”"]},{"l":"Press"},{"l":"Before","p":["An open letter to Tim Cook about Final Cut Pro, signed by editors and post-production pros around the world (ProVideo Coalition)"]},{"i":"after","l":"After:","p":["Apple responds to the open letter to Tim Cook about Final Cut Pro (ProVideo Coalition)","Apple responds to open letter about improving usage and reputation of Final Cut Pro in filmmaking industry (9to5mac)","Apple Response to “Final Cut Pro in TV and Film” Open Letter (fcp.co)","Apple Responds to Open Letter Demanding Improvement of Final Cut Pro (PetaPixel)"]},{"i":"open-letter-19th-april-2022","l":"Open Letter (19th April 2022)","p":["Abbas Fahdel, Director of ‘Homeland: Iraq Year Zero,’ Feature Documentary, Iraq","Andrea Chignoli, Editor of ‘\"No\" directed by Pablo Larrain,’ Feature Film, Chile","Andreas Menn, Editor of ‘The Colony,’ Feature Film, Germany+Swiss","Andrew McKee BFE, Editor of ‘Eaten by Lions,’ Feature Film, UK","Azusa Yamazaki, Editor of ‘Drive My Car,’ Feature Film, Japan","Benjamin Ikes, Editor of ‘Buba,’ Feature Film, Germany","Benjamin Mercer F.C.E, Editor of ‘Unknown Soldier / Tuntematon Sotilas,’ Feature Film, Finland","Beverly Maguire BFE, Editor of ‘It’s Pony,’ Animated TV series, UK","Bo Li, Editor of ‘Plastic China,’ Feature Documentary, China","Brad Stoddard, Finish Editor / Colorist of ‘Sakura & Pearls: Healing From World War II ,’ Feature Documentary, US","Brett Ramsey, Editor of ‘In Pit Lane ,’ TV News, Australia","Brian Zwiener, Assistant Editor of ‘Terminator: Dark Fate,’ Feature Film, US","Carsten Behrendt, Editor of ‘Helden der Hauptstadt,’ Feature Documentary, Germany","Chad Tremblay, Editor of ‘Hunter Hunter,’ Feature Film, Canada","Chankanet Leksomboon, First Assistant Editor of ‘Bangkok Breaking,’ TV Drama Series, Thailand","Chris Black, Editor of ‘Fly the flag for Human Rights',’ TV Documentary Series, UK","Chris Hocking, Editor of ‘Neighbours: Erinsborough High,’ TV Limited Series/Mini Series, Australia","Christopher Darlington, Editor of ‘The Uncluttered Worlds of Christopher Pratt,’ Feature Documentary, Canada","Clark N Henderson, Assistant Editor of ‘Paramedics: Emergency Response,’ TV Factual Series, Canada","Cris Mertens, Editor of ‘Young Justice: Phantoms,’ Animated Series, US","Daniel Rakete Siegel, Director of ‘Schock (WT),’ Feature Film, Germany","David Maria Vogel BFS, First Assistant Editor of ‘The Colony,’ Feature Film, Germany/Switzerland","David Peterson, Editor of ‘Bluey,’ TV Animated Series, Australia","David Wieching BFS, Editor of ‘Schock,’ Feature Film, Germany","Dayyan Eng, Editor of ‘Wished,’ Feature Film, China","Dear Tim Cook,","Debby Germino, Editor of ‘Genius,’ TV Drama Series, US","Dimitri Amar, Editor of ‘Marianne,’ TV Drama Series, France","Dirk Grau, Editor of ‘Charite II ,’ TV Drama Series, Germany","Fabien Leroy, Editor of ‘Graines d'étoiles, 5 ans après,’ TV Documentary Series, France","Fernanda Tornaghi, Editor of ‘Girl in the Picture,’ Feature Documentary, US","Final Cut Pro is a wonderful application used by many YouTubers, education and small business content creators worldwide.

To create an event, select the library where you want the event, then go to File > New > Event(or use the keyboard shortcut OPTION+N).","Importing Media: You can import media directly into an event. To do this, select the event, then go to File > Import > Media(or use the keyboard shortcut COMMAND+I).","Moving and Copying Events: To move or copy events between libraries, you can simply drag and drop them in the library browser.","Renaming Libraries and Events: To rename a library or event, click on its name in the library browser, then enter the new name.","Deleting Libraries and Events: To delete a library, first make sure it's closed (select it, then go to File > Close Library). Then you can delete it in Finder, like any other file. To delete an event, select it, then press the DELETE key.","Backing Up Libraries: To back up a library, you can simply copy it in Finder to another location, like an external hard drive. You can also use the built-in library backup feature, which automatically saves backups to your Movies folder.","Remember that managing libraries effectively can help you keep your projects organized, and make it easier to find and work with your media files. Each library contains all of the media, edits, and other work associated with a project or a group of projects, so it's important to give them clear, descriptive names that make it easy to tell what they contain."]},{"l":"M"},{"i":"money---how-much-does-it-cost","l":"Money - How much does it cost?","p":["You can find the latest pricing information on the Mac App Store.","Though Final Cut Pro has everything you need to edit and share your video projects we want to point out that professional workflows may demand additional Plugins and Apps.","We recommend at least:","Sync-N-Link- Batch-sync Audio with Video and Metadata","X2Pro- AAF Audio deliveries to Pro Tools","PostLab- collaboration with other Editors and Assistant Editors","You can learn about these and many others on this site under Tools and Plugins."]},{"l":"Motion Tracking","p":["Yes, you can do object-based tracking in Final Cut Pro.","You can learn more here.","There's also a great tutorial by Brad West here."]},{"l":"Multicam Editing","p":["Some say Final Cut Pro has the best Multicam handling in the industry.","You can learn more here."]},{"l":"P"},{"i":"performance---stay-snappy","l":"Performance - Stay Snappy","p":["What is causing delay and laggy behaviour or even increased freezes?","FCP can lag with timelines longer than 30 minutes. Aside from slow drives, too less RAM or bad media management, it is the sheer amount of clips (Audio and Video) in a timeline that could hit on performance. It's hard to pin-point exactly, but it starts from around 500 assets (clips, titles, effects) in the timline.","Apple Silicon Macs do perform significantly better than Intel Macs. With M1 Pro/Max+ timelines of 40-60 minutes should be no problem.","there are several tricks and workarounds to keep long timelines without lags","workarounds","RAM should increase with the lengths of your projects. Though it's possible to edit 90 minutes with 16 GB, we would recommend 32-64 GB of RAM with feature-length timelines. This reduces the risk of freezes, when FCP has to suddenly load big Events.","working in reels:","You can segment your timeline into regions of around 20-25 minutes and put them into Compound Clips. Inside the Compounds you drive the edit. \"Outside\" the Compounds you compose the film. For example you could try out different styles of music. With smart Role-management you can turn on/off different music types, for example. important note: before export, you always have to check the joints between the reels.","stay snappy:","With the aforementioned reels-system you could have even 3-hour-timelines. you also could temporarily put a segment of the edit into a Compound to work faster and break it apart afterwards.","stay snappier:","We are big fans of transcoding beforehand.

Known for its powerful capabilities and intuitive interface, Final Cut Pro has come a long way since its inception. Today, let's explore this extraordinary journey of innovation and technological progression."]},{"l":"The Genesis of an Idea","p":["The story begins with Randy Ubillos, a name widely associated with the creation of the first three versions of Adobe Premiere Pro. His team's knack for developing professional video editing programs was then recognized by Macromedia, leading them to embark on a new project, KeyGrip.","KeyGrip was a more professional video editing program, built on Apple's QuickTime, which was intended for Macromedia's portfolio. However, due to licensing issues with Truevision, and Macromedia's shift towards web market solutions, the project hit a roadblock. Macromedia decided to sell its desktop applications, including the embryonic KeyGrip."]},{"l":"Birth of the Final Cut Pro","p":["In a pivotal year of 1998, KeyGrip was renamed Final Cut, and showcased as a 0.9 alpha version at the NAB Show. With no buyers, Apple, recognizing the potential of the software, stepped in and acquired the development team.","Contrary to expectations, Apple continued the development work, despite the lack of a buyer. The team made significant enhancements to the software, such as adding FireWire support, and finally, in 1999, it was released as Final Cut Pro at the NAB show."]},{"l":"Building a Community","p":["To ensure that Final Cut Pro received solid support from the start, Apple adopted an aggressive marketing and training strategy. They joined forces with DVcreators.net to launch a training disc, \"Final Cut Pro PowerStart\", and hosted hundreds of free and paid seminars worldwide. This strategy significantly boosted the software's early market visibility and success.","During this time, Final Cut Pro also capitalized on the decline of Adobe Premiere in the Mac market. A strategic trade-in program in 2003 allowed Adobe Premiere users to switch to Final Cut Express for free or avail of a hefty discount on Final Cut Pro."]},{"l":"Pioneering Broadcast Quality","p":["A defining factor in the success of Final Cut Pro was the robust QuickTime platform, particularly its support for new DV cameras connected via FireWire. The software found its application in the production of the first fully broadcast quality, globally distributed TV show, Women of Wrestling in 2000. Networks, such as Oxygen, also adopted the software to produce shows like SheCommerce.","By 2003, Final Cut Pro was credited for facilitating the production of the controversial film \"PlayCouples, A New Era of Swinging\". The software demonstrated its reliability during the film rendering, and this positive experience led to more endorsements from industry professionals. Such endorsements boosted its acceptance as a professional editing tool and culminated in a Primetime Emmy Engineering Award for its influence on the television industry in 2002."]},{"l":"The Evolution of Final Cut Pro","p":["Final Cut Pro continued to evolve, with the 4th version in 2003, introducing new applications such as Compressor, LiveType, and Soundtrack for advanced editing needs. Over time, the software strengthened its support for various video formats and integrated with additional tools to provide a comprehensive editing solution.","By 2006, Apple stopped selling Final Cut Pro as a standalone product, making it available only as part of the Final Cut Studio bundle. It also introduced the universal binary version, enhancing the software's flexibility and performance.","Subsequent versions, Final Cut Pro 6 and 7, introduced in 2007 and 2009 respectively, brought more functionalities and integrations.

The significant changes implemented by Apple shook many long-time users. Some of the main points of contention were the lack of backward compatibility with projects from previous versions and the initial absence of features like multi-cam editing and the ability to edit tape-based media.","Notably, there was also a transition in the distribution model, as Apple decided to make the software available only via download through the Mac App Store. This change proved challenging for mass enterprise deployment.","To gain an idea of the extent of the initial backlash, you can watch Conan O'Brien's satirical response on his talk show."]},{"l":"Behind the Scenes","p":["Phil Pan on Alex4D's Facebook Group, from the development team reveals that much of the advanced work from the core Shake team during this time was focused on the Helium renderer, a technology that is still central to Apple's Pro Apps today.","Interestingly, Phil indicated that management was more invested in projects such as Motion and Aperture that resonated with Steve Jobs and less in Shake. During this time, Apple acquired French mathematician Christophe Souchard's Senso technology, an advanced image scaling and frame-rate conversion tool using motion vector estimation.","At Apple, Souchard’s skills impressed management so much that his position was titled \"Applied Magic.\" He contributed to the development of next-generation prototypes, introducing methods using partial differential equations. However, due to Apple's policy against releasing compute-intensive software, much of this work never saw the light of day.","The shift in Apple's focus towards mass-market and mobile devices during the final years of Steve Jobs' leadership had a profound impact on the engineering efforts in high-end imaging worldwide."]},{"l":"Rising from the Ashes","p":["Despite the tumultuous start, Apple stood firm, continuously refining and improving FCPX. Through free updates, many of the missing features were reintroduced, and new ones were added.","A significant contribution was the Magnetic Timeline, which allowed for fluid, flexible editing, simplifying the process of exploring story ideas. Additionally, the introduction of Compound Clips further streamlined complex projects.","A major leap forward came with the new 64-bit architecture and GPU utilization. This allowed editors to work with larger frame sizes, higher frame rates, and more effects — all in real-time."]},{"l":"The Current State of Final Cut Pro X","p":["Today, Final Cut Pro X has matured into a powerful and efficient editing platform.

In this post, we will explore the best practices for using Final Cut Pro for long-form feature film editing. This will ensure your workflow is optimized, your output is professional, and your editing process is efficient."]},{"l":"Organise Your Workflow","p":["Create a Sound Workflow Structure:","Before starting the editing process, it's crucial to establish a well-structured workflow. In the context of long-form feature films, this often involves breaking down your project into scenes or sequences, each with its own dedicated project file within Final Cut Pro. This allows for focused editing and simplifies collaboration, as different editors can work on different scenes simultaneously.","Consistent Naming Conventions:","Consistency is key to smooth editing, especially for large projects like feature films. Use consistent naming conventions for your clips, sequences, and projects. This will make it much easier to locate and identify specific assets as your project grows.","Leverage Metadata:","Final Cut Pro allows users to input and leverage metadata for clips, such as scene number, shot number, take number, and more. You can also add custom metadata. Using metadata effectively can greatly enhance organization and searchability within your project."]},{"l":"Understanding RAM Requirements","p":["One crucial aspect of achieving optimal performance with Final Cut Pro revolves around understanding and addressing the software's RAM requirements. In particular, running FCP on Apple silicon (Apple's own line of processors) requires careful consideration. As all new Macs now use Apple silicon, it's important to get this right.","Apple Silicon and Unified Memory:","Unlike traditional computer architecture, where the CPU and GPU have separate memory (RAM and VRAM), Apple Silicon uses a unified memory architecture. This means that the CPU and GPU share the same pool of memory. As a result, your RAM has to serve the needs of both processing and graphics tasks.","For long-form feature film editing in Final Cut Pro, this has several implications:","Greater RAM demands: Feature films require handling high-resolution footage, multiple video tracks, complex effects, and color grading, among others. These tasks can put significant strain on your RAM.","Multitasking needs: If you are using other demanding apps alongside Final Cut Pro, such as other creative apps, your RAM needs will be even higher.","Importance of choosing the right Mac model: When buying an Apple Silicon Mac, you can't upgrade the RAM later, unlike with some previous Intel-based Mac models. So, it's important to consider your RAM needs upfront.","How Much RAM Do You Need?","As a baseline, Apple recommends a minimum of 8GB RAM for Final Cut Pro:","4GB of RAM (8GB recommended for 4K editing, 3D titles and 360° video editing)","However, for long-form feature film editing, you'll likely need more.","16GB RAM: This should be considered the minimum for professional work, such as editing feature films. It will allow for smooth editing of 4K footage and some flexibility for multitasking.","32GB RAM or higher: If you're working with 6K, 8K, or multiple streams of 4K video, or if you use lots of effects, consider 32GB or even 64GB of RAM. These larger RAM options will also provide greater flexibility for heavy multitasking and future-proof your setup as software demands increase over time.","At LateNite we're primarily using MacBook Pro's (2021 16-inch, Apple M1 Max, 64GB RAM, 3TB SSD), and they're rock solid.","While the unified memory architecture in Apple Silicon offers advantages such as increased efficiency and speed, it also places greater demands on your system's RAM. Therefore, when planning to use Final Cut Pro for long-form feature film editing on an Apple Silicon Mac, consider opting for at least 16GB of RAM, or even 32GB or 64GB for more complex projects and improved future-proofing. Remember, it's better to have a bit more RAM than you need, rather than not having enough when you need it most."]},{"l":"Understanding Drive Requirements","p":["An often underappreciated factor that can significantly impact your video editing workflow is the type of storage you use. When it comes to editing in Final Cut Pro, especially long-form feature film editing, opting for a Solid State Drive (SSD) over a traditional Hard Disk Drive (HDD) can make a significant difference.","Choosing the Right Storage for Final Cut Pro: SSDs Over Spinning Disks:","External SSDs: High-capacity external SSDs have become increasingly affordable. They can be an excellent solution for expanding your storage space without having to replace your internal drive.","Faster Read/Write Speeds: SSDs offer dramatically faster data transfer rates compared to HDDs. This means that video files can be read, copied, and written much quicker, which is critical when dealing with large, high-resolution video files typical in feature film editing.","Greater Reliability: Because they have no moving parts, SSDs are less likely to suffer mechanical failures, making them more reliable than HDDs. This is critical when working on important projects like feature films, where data loss can be disastrous.","HDDs, or hard disk drives, are traditional storage devices that use mechanical, moving parts to read and write data. They are made up of spinning disks, hence the name \"spinning disks.\" HDDs are typically slower and less reliable (due to potential mechanical failure), but they usually offer more storage space for a lower price.","Improved Multitasking: SSDs are better at handling multiple tasks simultaneously, such as playing back multiple video streams, which is common in multicam editing or when working with complex timelines.","In 2023, you should definitely be removing slow spinning disks from your editing workflow entirely. (You might still choose to use them for backup.)","Manage Storage Space: SSDs typically have less space than HDDs. Be diligent about deleting rendered files, proxies, and other temporary files that Final Cut Pro generates during editing to free up space.","On the other hand, SSDs, or solid-state drives, are storage devices that use flash memory (similar to your smartphone or USB thumb drive) to store data. Because there are no moving parts, SSDs are significantly faster and more reliable than HDDs. However, they are also typically more expensive per gigabyte.","Practical Tips for Using SSDs with Final Cut Pro:","Quicker Rendering and Exporting: The faster speeds of SSDs also translate to quicker rendering and exporting times in Final Cut Pro. This is particularly important in a professional setting, where time is often of the essence.","The Advantages of SSDs for Final Cut Pro","Understanding HDDs vs SSDs:","While HDDs may be more cost-effective in terms of raw storage space, the speed, and reliability benefits offered by SSDs make them a superior choice for use with Final Cut Pro, especially for demanding tasks like long-form feature film editing.","While SSDs are clearly advantageous for video editing, it's important to use them strategically to balance performance and cost:","Working Drive: If you can't afford a large SSD, consider at least getting a smaller one to use as a 'working drive'. You can store your current project on the SSD for fast performance, then move finished projects to an HDD for long-term storage."]},{"l":"Storage Locations","p":["To keep library sizes as small as possible (which makes backing them up and sharing them easier), we always recommend keeping your media and cache external to the library.","Storing your media inside the library is an option for solo editors who do not work collaboratively, but external media offers more power and flexibility."]},{"l":"Library Organisation","p":["Each event in Final Cut Pro is its own Core Data database.","You can learn more about the library structure here.","Given this, we recommend splitting up your media into multiple events, rather than putting all your media in a single event powered by a single database.","We recommend using emojis in event names, to differentiate the list of events more clearly.","For example, this is from a 5 x 30min broadcast television special:","You can learn more about this workflow here.","Here's an example of a library for a job where all the user interface designs were build in Final Cut Pro for a game:","Here's an example of a library for a basic corporate edit:","If you're working on a very heavy feature film, your current feature length timeline should be in its own event."]},{"l":"Avoid Snapshots","p":["Snapshots are the devil. You're much better off using something like PostLab.","When you duplicate a project as a snapshot, Final Cut Pro embeds copies of compound or multicam “parent” clips in the duplicate, so any changes to other instances of those clips do not affect the duplicate.","Generally speaking, when you're working with a long-form project, all of your media is generally a Multicam Clip (because you're syncing with external audio) — so each time you create a Snapshot you're essentially creating a duplicate of all the clips metadata.","When you create a Snapshot, Final Cut Pro generates copies of your used clips and any connected clips, including titles, effects, compound clips, and multicam clips. All of these elements contribute to the overall size of the Snapshot.","While Snapshots can be a valuable tool for preserving your project's state at a specific point in time, excessive use can have a significant impact on your library size and performance. This can in turn affect Final Cut Pro's performance.","An overly large Final Cut Pro library can lead to several issues:","Reduced System Performance: A bloated library can slow down Final Cut Pro's performance, making it less responsive and lengthening render and export times.","Limited Storage Space: If your library size becomes excessively large, it can occupy a substantial portion of your available storage space. This can be particularly problematic if you're working with limited storage capacities, such as on a laptop with a small SSD.","Back-up Challenges: Large libraries can also be more challenging to back up, as they require more storage space and more time to copy to your backup drive."]},{"l":"Edit with Proxy Media","p":["Long-form editing, particularly at high resolutions (4K, 8K), can be quite demanding on system resources. To ensure a smooth editing experience, Final Cut Pro offers a 'proxy workflow'. This allows you to create lower-resolution versions (proxies) of your footage for editing. Once the editing is complete, you can easily switch back to the original high-resolution files for final output."]},{"l":"Use the Magnetic Timeline","p":["The Magnetic Timeline is one of the unique features of Final Cut Pro. It offers a trackless approach to editing, allowing clips to automatically slide into place and avoid clip collisions and sync problems. This is particularly useful in feature film editing, where you may be juggling hundreds or even thousands of clips."]},{"l":"Master Your Tools and Shortcuts","p":["Final Cut Pro offers a wide range of tools for tasks such as trimming, re-timing, and applying effects. Mastering these tools, along with the keyboard shortcuts for commonly used functions, can significantly speed up your editing process."]},{"i":"leverage-final-cut-pros-multicam-editing","l":"Leverage Final Cut Pro's Multicam Editing","p":["If your film includes footage from multiple cameras, Final Cut Pro's Multicam editing feature can be a major time-saver. It allows you to sync up to 64 angles of video footage using audio waveforms, timecode, or markers. Once synced, you can cut between angles in real time while watching the multicam viewer."]},{"i":"use-compound-clips-and-roles-for-organisation--efficiency","l":"Use Compound Clips and Roles for Organisation & Efficiency","p":["Compound Clips allow you to bundle separate clips together into a single clip, which can then be edited as one. This is useful for managing complex sequences or visual effects compositions.","Roles in Final Cut Pro allow you to label and organize different types of audio such as dialogue, effects, and music. When exporting, you can output multiple versions of your mix (such as stereo and surround) or a file with separated roles for further mixing or mastering."]},{"l":"Keep Regular Backups","p":["Given the scale and importance of feature film projects, it's essential to keep regular backups of your work. Final Cut Pro's built-in backup tool makes this process easy and automatic. Backups can be accessed from the File > Open Library > From Backup command, but they can also be found in the Finder, in Home > Movies > Final Cut Backups > LIBRARYNAME."]},{"l":"Conclusion","p":["Final Cut Pro is a powerful tool for long-form feature film editing, but like any tool, its effectiveness depends on how it's used. By adopting these best practices, you can ensure that your editing process is efficient, your workflow is smooth, and the end result is a feature film of professional quality. Remember, the key to successful film editing is a combination of technical skill, organization, creativity, and storytelling.","Want to contribute?

With a little help from CommandPost, Sam and Knut can create a keyword for each line of dialogue, then attach these keywords to specific parts of each shot, and then gather all the shots for each specific line of dialogue in a custom keyword collection. It’s not quite the same as Avid’s ScriptSync, but it accomplishes similar goals.","Knut Hake (editor) and Sam Pluemacher (assistant editor) have been behind a few Netflix films now — all in German, and directed by Peter Thorwarth. There’s 2021’s Blood Red Sky, 2023's Blood and Gold, and the freshly released Sixty Minutes, out now.","Lastly, if you’re considering using FCP to cut a feature for Netflix, it’s actually possible. You’ll need to prove that you know your workflow as well as Knut and Sam do, and you should probably check out Knut’s Notion workflow for feature film editing.","Many thanks to Chris Hocking for making this workflow possible in CommandPost.","Many thanks to Knut and Sam, and congratulations on your repeated success!","Next, automatically assemble all those clips, sorted by timecode into a fresh timeline — a dailies stringout, in order of shooting. CommandPost’s Auto Sequence Toolbox does this trick, and was developed specifically for Knut and Sam to support this workflow.","Now, you’ll have a Keyword Collection for every line of dialog, numbered in order, with good takes marked as favorites and bad takes rejected. Keywords and Ratings are a fantastic advantage of using Final Cut Pro, and CommandPost can help you to use your script to create those keywords quickly.","Start with Sync-N-Link X from Intelligent Assistance. This tool can batch-sync a day’s worth of jam-synced audio and video clips, and it’s a big time saver here.","That dailies timeline now has all the different takes of each scene, numbered and waiting to be tagged with the day’s scripts. Manual keywording would be very time consuming, so use CommandPost again. First, the lines in the script will be placed into titles, and then, those titles will be placed above each of the shots, to match each line exactly.","The titles are set to become keywords, but you can also create titles named FAVORITE or REJECT to apply those ratings too. Multiple titles can be placed atop the same clip; they’ll all turn into keywords or ratings.","These films were all cut in Final Cut Pro, and made use of CommandPost to help the process along.","This is, however, not a text-recognition system, there’s no AI involved, and it’s not text-based editing. In a script-first workflow, you want to organise the clips based on the script, even if there’s improvisation.","Timing and positioning these titles is the only manual part of the process, but it’s not difficult to duplicate a storyline with titles from one scene to another take, then perform minor retiming on the duplicate titles.","To get started, head to the CommandPost Toolbox, choose Titles to Keywords, and look in the lower half of the panel, called Create Titles from Text. Paste in all the script lines that you want to generate titles for, and CommandPost will automatically number these lines, in order, with an optional prefix and suffix, then send these titles to Final Cut Pro.","When it’s all complete, head back to the Titles to Keywords toolbox and use the top half of the panel to create a new Event with Keywords.","Written by Iain Anderson."]},{"l":"Discuss this page"}],[{"i":"blood--gold","l":"Blood & Gold","p":["Final Cut Pro to After Effects VFX Workflow","Blood & Gold premiered on Netflix on Friday May 26th 2023.

Therefore I was looking for tools that would allow for quick pre-visualization turnovers once Knut and Peter finished sequences that I could start working on.","I found Ximport AE by Automatic Duck on FxFactory which makes the process of sending plates or rough layouts as easy as exporting a fcpxml and importing it into After Effects.","Once a sequence is ready to be worked on, I will create compound clips for our VFX shots and name them accordingly - e.g. \"BAG_001-0010\". Compound clips are great for VFX shots, because any changes inside the compound clip will automatically be reflected in all instances of that compound clip. I will usually add 24 frames of handles to each VFX shot as it gives Knut some flexibility in the editing process.","The compound clips will also show up in your browser and in order to get these layouts over to After Effects, you simply select all shots and export a fcpxml.","Over in After Effects you select \"Import... > Ximport AE...\" and start the import process. This only takes a few seconds and all your compound clips will be imported as Compositions right away. You will also find the original media files next to those. There's a few settings in the import dialogue, but I mostly keep them at default. As Ximport AE references the original media files, you can always adjust the length of any clip in your AE Composition. This is super helpful and an added benefit compared to working with exported/rendered clips.","Open your Composition and you will find all your layers inside, as well as a marker showing you any effect that was applied in Final Cut Pro. Not only does it preserve the layers and timing of your shots, but it will also import the audio of your Synchronized/Multicam clips. This was very helpful on this project, because there were a lot of muzzle flashes that needed to fit to the sound layout.","After organizing and checking all my imported Comps I could quickly start working on the pre-visualizations. Here's a few examples:","Once the work on a shot was done, I'd color-label the shots in After Effects. Using Templates and presets I was quickly able to add the shots to the Render Queue and export them to a pre-defined folder.","Back in Final Cut Pro I would import the shots and assign them to our \"VFX-Previz\" role. All shots then go into their respective compound clip. The compound clips also act as a reference for which clips have been used for a specific composition. This is extremely helpful once you need to turnover the shots to your VFX vendor.","It also allows me to add versions to the compound clips and easily toggle them on or off directly in the timeline without searching for them in the browser.","Whenever there were editing changes or shots changed significantly, I would simply export a new fcpxml (name them by date or version number) and import them into After Effects. Ximport AE will create new folders for each import which makes it very organized and lets you keep track of each iteration.","That's about it.

I now have all assets I need to proceed:","Fast forward to the interesting part of delivery preparation: The simple roles setup is enough to immediately export different assets such as clean-feed or M&E (music and effects) tracks.","Firstly, I of course finished the Director’s Cut, also known as ‘cinema version’. The original 23,98p UHD (4K 16:9) material was edited in a 2K flat 1998x1080 native 24p project (audio set to stereo). FCP working its magic already, the frame rate conform happens automatically and without hick-ups in the background. the extra resolution gave more details when scaled down and noise was reduced. I also had more room for stabilization, framing and ‘ken-burnsing’ that way.","Organization: As commonly done, I created events for corresponding steps in post-production. Through the use of ‘Folder Names as Keywords’ during import I could start editing right away because we took the time of naming folders when copying media to the source drive.

Music & Effects are stereo tracks, Speech is mono, so a total of 6 channels. It should be clear now which purpose this will server a little later on: A rough, home-made 5.1 Surround up-mix from pure stereo sources for a better cinematic experience.

TV needs this for dubbing their own language version. They would re-mix audio after adding their own voice-over and synchro. Same for surround. Tedious, I know, but necessary.","Screenshot 3A","Screenshot 3B","Screenshot 3C","Screenshot 4","Screenshot 4: In yet another project (still 2K flat 24p but set to surround) I copy&paste all titles on top of the re-imported clean-feed, which I also added the ‘Broadcast Safe’ effect set to standard ‘0’ to. I also re-import the captions and prepared audio files. Now I have full control over ‘versioning’, which means cinema or broadcast/streaming in ‘clean’ or ‘fixed’ English.","Screenshots 3A-C: The presets for Dialogue (tuned to 90), Ambience and Music delivery a solid, yet quick & dirty, way to create a 5.1 surround mix by spreading audio signals over all channels but keeping speech mainly in front (center speaker behind the cinema screen). Note: You need a separate voice/dialogue track for this, hence the before mentioned preparation. I would not recommend this (although it is possible and works OK) for just a single stereo mix – if you want to up-mix one single stereo mix, you should choose ‘create space’ as the preset instead.","Secondly, I knew in the end we need to conform to a 52 minutes TV version (Central-European broadcast standard length for docs) and to 25p (which happens by a 4% speed change - what has always been done since the invention of analogue TV), so I needed a 55 minutes for the cinema master in 24p (the FPS conform would take care of the length automatically due to speed up of 4%). To exactly hit 52 minutes I would just adjust the length of credits (scrolling speed) in the very end. For audio improvement I usually use Voice Isolation at 50% combined with the EQ set to ‘Tremble Boost’ – at least for our wireless Sony mics this gives crisp and clear speech.","Setup: The SDR library is located on the internal SSD as well as all cache files, library backups, export renders and transcodes. Nothing gets stored inside the library so that it stays small and fast. For the amount of 600 GB source media, the library clocks in at under 500 MB stat way. All source media is fed from an external RAID (HDD) or portable LaCie SSD.","SRT captions for subtitles (sidecar files)","Stereo mix of everything but also Stereo M&E","Surround mix of everything, but also Surround M&E","Thirdly, I made sure during editing that all roles get directly assigned to the right ones for audio and video alike, also all non-English dialogue (we had German and Kurdish besides the English narration) was translated on-the-go and out into a corresponding SRT captions track. From this point on, whatever I was doing and moving around would clearly be color-coded and ready to be filtered by the timeline index. Grading was done exclusively with the new native ‘Color Adjustment’ correction (plus some shape masks) which allow for easy highlight recovery. For sharpening I used the ‘High-pass Filter’ ported from Apple’s Motion (see bottom for details).","Video clean-feed with titles to be added in yet another project"]},{"l":"Versioning","p":["Checking the list from the beginning again, there are some special requirements for non-cinema releases. Namely R128 (audio) and R103 (video) normalizations. The latter we took care of with the ‘Broadcast Safe’ filter directly in FCP but sadly, Apple has not included audio mastering yet. Again, this task is covered by Davinci Resolve (this time ‘lite’ suffices) where you can normalize audio according to the most important standards via a right click on it in a timeline. So we have to re-import a final mix in R128 once again and put in our project. This is represented in Screenshot 4.","Cinema international version in 2K flat 1998x1080, 24p, 5.1 Surround as ProRes HQ master file with English titles and burnt-in English subtitles (captions).","For audio, I drop in the previously exported Stereo mixes (R128 and M&E) and manually speed-change them (FCP does not do this automatically for audio, which is a good thing!) by 4,1% (remember, the original FPS was 23,98 not native 24p, hence 0,1% more – yes, I know everything is super confusing). Audio should not be in complete sync and at the exact same length as video.","HDTV/VOD version in HD 16:9 (just change project settings for a different resolution), 24p with either Surround or Stereo + M&E as ProRes HQ, with or without titles and captions as separate files (note that there is also a CC track, meaning closed captions, aka SDH, in which also spoken English has been transcribed).","I can now deliver the following as listed in the very beginning:","Let’s not forget to, again, add the Broadcast Safe to the clean-feed to make it ‘legal’. We already know hot to proceed with exporting Multitrack Quicktime files. We are done and have exported several versions which usually takes a lot longer and additional people.","Note: You can either import CSV data into an Excel table (Google knows how to do it) or get the free ‘Table Tool’ on the Appstore to open CSV files easily.","Now comes the last, most tedious, step, which you might not need: The frame rate conversion to 25p for ex-PAL TV stations (in HD 16:9 and Stereo R128). Yet another project created, making sure it is set to 25p. Dropping in the clean-feed in 24p and FCP works its magic. It has already been conformed and speed-changed by 4% and is reduced in length because of it. I exported the Titles role as a separate video (from the 24p project) before in ProRes 4444, which includes an Alpha channel, meaning: Transparency. Why? Because now also the titles get speed-changed and are in sync without me adjusting every single title manually. I can still export another clean-feed, this time in 25p, this way. This is represented by the purple role in Screenshot 7.","Now use Save Timeline Index to CSV to receive a CSV file which you can use to create a MCS (music cue sheet) for royalty reports.","Remember the captions? The only thing not speed-changeable (why not, I ask, would be a neat feature) are the subtitles, so before we can import them here, we need them to be conformed to 25p too. Luckily there is a great free online tool for this purpose as shown in Screenshots 8a-b: https://editingtools.io/subtitles/(expand the ‘advanced’ options).","Screenshot 5A","Screenshot 5A: Using the unique Multitrack option during sharing again, it is easy to deliver a ProRes master file with 12 audio tracks, where tracks 1-6 are the full surround mix in R128 for example (assigned to ‘Dialogue’ role but you could create your own) and tracks 7-12 are surround M&E, meaning everything without speech for dubbing purposes and in full scale (not R128). Also, through removing or adding the ‘Titles’ role it is easy to create a clean-feed or localized English version. Again, cations are exported separately as sidecar SRT files, as shown at the bottom.","Screenshot 5B","Screenshot 5B: Same thing as 5a but now it is a project set to stereo with the corresponding mixes we created before hand from the original project and/or stems.","Screenshot 6A","Screenshot 6B","Screenshot 7","Screenshot 7: The clean-feed 24p assets (audio and video) in yet a new project, which is set to HD 25p for broadcast PAL conforming. Note: This requires a speed change of 4,1% and will make the film shorter (or longer if you go the other way). FCP takes care of most of the process automatically. If you have separate sound (and did not include it in the clean video), you need to change its speed manually: Right click, change duration, use 104,1% for 24p -> 25p.","Screenshot 8A","Screenshot 8B","Screenshots 6A-B: Using the Timeline Index to get a list of music and titles cues as CSV via CommandPost. As you can see, the duration is missing, which would be helpful if requested.","Screenshots 8A-B: This way I can speed change (adjust timings) all SRTs too for re-import.","The actual DCP encoding (which in itself is its own workflow and mastering step) will be done by me as well but using Davinci Resolve Studio (!) which includes Kakadu J2K cinema packaging. The world-wide digital cinema standard is still (and only) DCP IOP and requires you to jump through a few hoops to really guarantee a reliable projection quality and playability. By the way: I offer the only (free) eBook and paid video course for in-depth professional DCP mastering in Davinci Resolve Studio on my website.","The same you can do for titles to receive a CSV for the titles inserts list as demonstrated in Screenshot 6b. It really helps, however a possible improvement would be to have the CSV also include the duration of the clips, not only their starting position.","This is where our beloved CommandPost comes to help. It can save the contents of the Timeline Index, which you should learn to love. It is your best friend, as is CommandPost: In the Timeline Index, select ‘Clips’ at the top and ‘Audio’ at the bottom to get a list of just the audio files at their corresponding position (and with their corresponding role), as demonstrated in Screenshot 6a. Of course, we are only interested in the role ‘Music’.","TV and big VOD platforms also need some documentation and special reports to go with your delivered assets. Usually a music cue sheet (MCS), a titles inserts list (TIL) and a full script of every spoken word for dubbing or localization (captioning). The latter we already have (kind of) with the above mentioned CC (SDH) SRT file – which I created by running a separated narration VO file (exported this one role) through the genius ‘MacWhisper’ app and combined the resulting SRT with the other one within the FCP captions. For the other two report docs we need all the timings (timecode) of both, text inserts and music cues.","UPDATE (1st Dec 2023): Seems like there is an easier and a lot more straightforward solution for cue sheets (music and titles) by using the fantastic companion app Producer’s Best Friend by Intelligent Assistance.

As David told me, the whole thing emerged from a circle of friends. And at the same time it's the cinema debut for many of the team. How did the beginnings of the script come about?","DANIEL: Well, I've known David much longer than Denis (Denis Moschitto, co-director and main cast). We shot the series \"Im Knast\" in 2015/16 and became close friends after the first season. I was ready to make my film debut. Denis wanted to work as a full-blown filmmaker and not \"only\" as an actor. And we figured we want to do this with David, not only as the guy who cuts everything together in the end. So we formed a gang of three - also as proof of concept of how we want to work. It wasn't like, \"Oh, we want to tell this practitioner's story.\" It was more about: how do we actually want to shoot (and produce a film) at all? We took a much more radical approach. The film had an internal working title. We called it: \"Let's fuck shit up!\". So, this freedom was really important to us from the get-go, not for reasons of protectionism, but to not be held back by some kind of structural corset. For example, we didn’t want to work closely with a post-house, rather we wanted to be in control of it ourselves; we wanted to do the exports without calling a technician or anxiously send out VFX lists only to have someone tell us it’s too expensive. We wanted to do it on our terms and with our particular skill-set. And that was at least as important as the story: to figure out our own process, like a personal framework for filmmaking. Is it possible to do it that way? And if so, then we'll cultivate that in the future.","FLORIAN: So you imagined an even more intense collaborative process as filmmaking already is? And you started with the key-positions of editing, acting and directing?","DANIEL: Yes, you could say that. You also have to say that Denis didn't want to play the lead role at first. He wanted to do the part behind the camera. But that ultimately changed during Covid19, I have to be honest.","DAVID: The pandemic changed the script as well.","DANIEL: Yeah, exactly, that opened a door.","DAVID: It inspired parts of the story that weren't there before. Probably the strongest storylines now.","FLORIAN: So I understand it like this: everyone brings their particular skills from a different direction and then you mingle together. And Denis brought his skills from the acting-side?","“ Some even say the Film Editor is like a second director. Denis recently called it shadow-directing. ”","DANIEL: Yes, basically that's right. And if I may say one more thing, which is really close to my heart; a really underestimated part of your (David and Florian’s) work is: Editing isn’t only connecting lines and securing continuity! If you do a somewhat decent job, you finish writing the script in the edit! And I think it's totally important not just to award credits, but, prospectively, understand it as the collective effort it already is. Some even say the Film Editor is like a second director. Denis recently called it shadow-directing. It's sometimes very difficult to distinguish: what is script, what is acting, what is camera, what is staging? And with editing, somehow nobody sees it unless it sucks. Or you win an Oscar, like in this Queen film, because you clearly saw how strong the interventions are there. Unfortunately, there's no real obvious traction for this, neither inside nor outside our line of work, that articulates how much these processes are interdependent and extremely interdisciplinary. And I also think that a lot of the work of directing on set is about opening up spaces for people to do their work well. That's always been a saying that we've had: you don't tell actors how to play it well, but you find people, through casting and all other processes, who work it out with you. And for us, Editing is simply part of that from the very beginning. That's the way it is for me from now on. With every larger project, it's simply an absolute must-have that the editing is there as early as it can be. That you simply talk about everything. So David was even present during prep for blocking the scenes. That all paid off. That's not the most efficient way of working as far as human life is concerned. Nevertheless, for me it’s the nucleus of an ideal shooting situation. To manage this in 30 shooting days, which have come to destroy you. (smiles) To pull that off, that’s killer!","FLORIAN: David, did you actually co-write or just read the script and comment on it?","DAVID: The latter. I’ve never had the script open in Final Draft in this case, but I had read everything since the first treatment draft and we talked about it afterwards. What works well, where do I have ideas for development? It was such a gritty learning process. I would also say that my initial comments were more like, \"yeah, it's all totally awesome, looks awesome, great, exactly.\" The closer the shoot, the more complex the exchange became. And I think that in follow-up projects we’re already noticing how this collaboration has changed and intensified.","FLORIAN: So, you're actually benefiting from this intense work during writing and pre-production. Are you actually getting faster? More precise?","DAVID: Several things. We knew the story and the characters so well that there were few questions left. We developed a lot, of course we'll get to that in a minute when we talk about principal shooting. But I think it's more that through this experience the degree to which I get involved in new projects is now much more intense. By how we've learned to communicate with each other about film, what we like, what works well, what direction we want to go. And also that we can imagine writing a script together. I mean, I would still have to prove that I can do that. But in the process of this film, we came so far that I don't think it would be an absurdity for all of us if that happens."]},{"l":"Workflow","p":["“ My motivation to work like this also came from my buddy Frido, who always used to select in Final Cut with the Playstation controller. He used to sit on the couch, in front of his client monitor, he does a lot of advertising and has a really fat client monitor, so he used to sit on the client couch and did selects with the controller. ”","DANIEL: And Reject, maybe, too.","DANIEL: Yeah, exactly, so since that (FCPX 2012) came out, I've cut everything I could with it. Obviously I haven't edited a feature film, but I've gained a lot of experience in terms of workflow stuff. And I've done a lot with it. And I loved it very quickly. The first version was really bad... but after they changed the library structure, it worked. Also, for David and me, a very important point was that we both had no desire to work on Avid and also had our experiences with Premiere. With Final Cut, you can just dig in and just work sensibly - cut \"from the gut\". And that's what I personally really wanted to do, because I know: You wipe over the footage, make a range, throw everything you find interesting in the timeline - snip, snap, snip - drag scenes to the left, to the right, to the left, to the right and then you're done....","DANIEL: You did, once.","DAVID: And Forward, Backward.","DAVID: And marked In/Out, favorite with the Playstation controller.","DAVID: And Reject still, yeah. And so then I watched and selected. Started editing in parallel as well, but it's a much more fluid and cohesive process.","DAVID: As I said, we wanted to do as much as possible ourselves. But of course, in order to have a certain security, just for insurance and stuff like that, there was still a post-production house involved. And that was WeFadeToGrey. The proxies were created there, then the proxies went to Victor (Rosario, Assistant Editor), and he synced everything. Then I took a walk to Victor's place, because it was very close, and picked up the footage on a hard drive, super oldschool, and if he was already done, also the Final Cut Library, or he sent it to me later.","DAVID: Exactly, yeah.","DAVID: I also created keywords for a few dialogs. But I discarded that relatively quickly, because there's just not that much talking in our film. (Laughter)","DAVID: Nah, actually it always stayed that way. And I didn't split the timeline into reels either, I just started and kind of kept going and when Final Cut slowed down I just reduced the library (deleted older timelines) and then everything rolled again smoothly. That way I didn't have the need to structure it differently. Admittedly, our workflow was really very low-tech in that respect. And, what we haven't said yet is that I hadn't worked on Final Cut once before.","DAVID: No, I had one event per shooting day and then sorted the scenes by keywords.","DAVID: Totally. Although our workflow and also the structure of the library was not ideal. But the pure editing, that went super fast, well off the cuff. Basically, I've never understood it if you only want to work with one technique or one software. Because first of all you’d limit yourself. And I think they all have their advantages and disadvantages. Final Cut is simply years ahead! But still, both Avid and Premiere have their justification. At btf, we worked on Premiere for all those years and it was perfect for one-shots that had a lot of graphics and VFX shots. It would have been unthinkable to work on Avid. And that was kind of the approach to learn the \"new hot shit\" as well. Of course, that started with the viewing and selecting, how much fun that is! Because otherwise, in Premiere or in Avid, with every new project, I'm actually always faced with such a conundrum first, that I have to decide how I want to watch and select now.","DAVID: Unlike with Avid or Premiere, I don't have to decide: do I just watch everything first? Do I do markers or a select sequence or do I start cutting directly and slowly work my way through the footage? When I'm working on Avid or Premiere, I usually do it in such a way that I start cutting right away and then go from the footage further into the structure, into the deep. With the way you can mark favorites in Final Cut, I've gone back to doing selects classically without feeling like it's costing me too much time, energy, and motivation. I feel like selecting with other NLEs, maybe that's fun, too. But when you're done you haven't done anything yet. (Laughter) You don't have that feeling with Final Cut. So: I marked my favorites, and then in the next step, in the View I already hid everything (note: show only Favorites in Browser) and with that I had my select reel in the Browser as a starting point. My motivation to work like this also came from my buddy Frido, who always used to select in Final Cut with the Playstation controller. He used to sit on the couch, in front of his client monitor, he does a lot of advertising and has a really fat client monitor, so he used to sit on the client couch and did selects with the controller.","DAVID: Well, I once assisted a friend (Frido Körner) on a commercial, with the approach \"I want to learn a little Final Cut\". I did rough cuts there, too, and mainly got the assistant stuff down, to understand how Final Cut works in the structure. Then I looked at your (Florian, German editor’s association internal) introduction again, in preparation for the film and then just jumped in at the deep end and started. Because Daniel knows Final Cut so well, I had no worries for the time after the shooting. And during shooting I could always call Frido if I had any questions...","DAVID: Well, once, I did once....","DAVID: Yes, from Stella Fachinger. I was also on the set for the first two days of shooting, and then we talked on the phone, and in the classic way there were Lockit files digital ScriptSuper-notes that Victor transferred into FCP).","Editing a feature film with Final Cut Pro","Event structure of the editing project","FLORIAN: And have there been notes from the ScriptSupervisor?","FLORIAN: And then there was one event per scene? Or did you do it via keywords?","FLORIAN: And with this Favorites-concept you went through the whole film? So it's not like you did extra keywords again? That would be my method: the favorites all get one keyword, then the favorites get suspended and I select favorites of that keyword (fine selection).","FLORIAN: He put the shortcuts on the controller?","FLORIAN: Okay, do you mind telling us briefly what the technical workflow was like, from the set to the editing room. And after that, we would look a little bit at how you actually worked dramaturgically on set. How were the proxies delivered to you and how were they created?","FLORIAN: Okay, let's start there. You get the first shooting day in for SCHOCK, and then: how do you select?","FLORIAN: Okay. And David, did it feel for you like that right away? All this throwing in and freestyle mixing clips, as Daniel describes the whole thing?","FLORIAN: Okay. Then you split it into reels yourself at some point, or scene-Events?","FLORIAN: Play, Pause, In/Out, Favorite, that's all you need.","FLORIAN: So it’s been ProRes proxies?","FLORIAN: Wait a minute, Daniel, but you've done a lot before, smaller projects?","FLORIAN: Wait, this is where it gets interesting.","FLORIAN: What do you mean not once?","FLORIAN: Yeah, exactly. We haven't even mentioned that yet. I'll add that later in the short summary.","FLORIAN: Yes."]},{"l":"Watching Dailies","p":["Shooting day briefing “New School”","FLORIAN: And then let's say now, you're done with the shooting day and then came the special thing, which maybe was still common in the past, that you did something similar to watching dailies with the head-of’s. Now that went a bit differently with you guys. That's of course totally interesting, how this process was at the end of the shooting day between the two of you. Or three of you, together with Denis?","DAVID: Exactly, and sometimes even four, with DoP Paul Pieck together. We already met with the motivation, relatively classical, to watch dailies. Then, when you're sitting in a café where it's a little bit louder, that's not such a good idea anymore. And relatively quickly we moved on to not discussing the previous day's dailies, but rather doing a kind of style critique. On the one hand, how the camera works and how we want to narrate cinematically with the camera, and on the other hand about the character development.","DANIEL: We did make some drastic decisions, it has to be said. For example, we changed the character who gets shot at the end in the showdown. That was originally a different person. And that evolved exactly from those conversations. David was telling Paul all the time, \"Dude, fuck the axis, go in, shoot sloppy, it doesn't matter, let go!\" And that totally triggered a lot. You really can't underestimate that. It was incredibly important. Yesterday, in a moment of madness, I looked at the version we shot - not one stone was left unturned, except for very important details. The film changed incredibly during principal filming. And that was totally cool, I would say. To always discuss with each other and to hold each other up. It was a constant comparison: here we are on the right track, there we have to put in more, there we give less. It's also a film that intentionally leaves out information in a lot of places, in a way that hopefully doesn't bother you. Without those conversations, we never would have been able to do it that way.","DAVID: Frustration management, too. The shoot was tough as nails. There were really few shooting days for what we had planned. And of course the guys were used up quickly. And I gave a lot of motivational speeches. Not because it didn't work. It was often about saying: we're on a good path!","DANIEL: Yes. With David, at the end of the day, it was another view from the outside. While I was already essentially the first viewer via the small monitor on set, David was the next first viewer.","FLORIAN: Yeah, logical. I can also feed back to you that, my impression after the premiere. Because I knew that David was there, I also tried to notice the editing and the mise-en-scene. In other words, I tried to watch actively, what I usually avoid at the first screening. And it's striking: the film is extremely varied! Longer camera movements, pans, montage-sequences, but also more classic blocking and also somewhat fancy camera angles. And still, the thing seems to be made of one piece. It just doesn't fall apart, but it makes the whole thing lively and exciting. And maybe that's also due to this process.","DANIEL: For sure.","DAVID: We didn't just talk about the footage, but also about the next day and what’s planned. And that's where we sometimes developed together, we said \"come on, this scene: one shot!\", or \"come on: two safety, but no shot-reverse-shot!\", just brave: something interlaced, or maybe a bit architectural... And these are then ultimately also the scenes where the shots could last very long (without a cut)."]},{"l":"Redefining the Genre","p":["Without negating the legacy","FLORIAN: The film manages to stay tough and serious. How hard was it for you not to drift into satire or coolness? And that maybe ties into what you guys were just talking about.","DANIEL: So it's a mixture of very easy and very, very, very difficult. When we decided to make a movie at that time, the idea came up, \"what about a gangster movie?\". And then we actually said, \"no, this coolness, somehow we're not up for it at all\". And that was, I think, a narrative demand that had been seething with us for so long that we couldn't get past it. We wanted to play with it. For example, Fahri (Yardim, supporting cast) is wearing a cool leather jacket and is looking grim, but in such a way that it doesn't tip over into a comic reality. That was actually a very simple decision. A film that nevertheless serves the genre, with a showdown, with a certain form of depiction of violence. That it has to be a bit borderline. Not a film that has to please everyone. It was ultimately about going a little bit to the extreme. For example: How little can you talk without thinking it’s a student film where the task was: you're not allowed to talk. So, getting the coolness out of it wasn't that hard. But a film that builds a coherent atmosphere and world within these 114 minutes, without classically learned mechanics, without a love interest, with a main character for whom you can't clearly say why he's actually acting like this. That was very, very difficult. And it took a lot of time.","“ How little can you talk without thinking it’s a student film where the task was: you're not allowed to talk. ”","FLORIAN: Cool gangster movies - there would be a lot of references. So there are pitfalls when you're staging it the opposite way and dealing with actors who are used to it differently. There's a lot for you to do on set, isn't there? Always holding them back a little bit or nudging it in a different direction.","DANIEL: Yeah, ..., we still have a few ADR parts in it that are a thorn in our side. That's why I watched the raw footage of a scene again. And I was totally surprised. It's the scene where Bruno is at Giuli's house for the first time and treats this wound. The scene is just forever long. The footage is forever. And Denis is acting with this medicine bag that was completely filled, like, 300 times in the movie. Incredibly hard to act shit. It's an awkward prop. Incredible number of times he has to open it, close it.","DAVID: Gloves always on, mask too.","DANIEL: The handling, the continuity - that wasn't the difficulty. It was the ability to remain calm. Not to go for efficiency in storytelling. Not to tell it like: now he's sitting with his sister, then he has to say \"sis\" three more times so that people understand.","DAVID: For the scene, we had a relatively steep idea for the character constellation in the days before (during the dailies-discussions). There's not much of that left in the result, but it led to quite a lot of nuances.","DANIEL: There used to be a different ending, it has to be said.","FLORIAN: They're hugging, aren't they?","DAVID: Exactly.","DANIEL: Actually, something else happened after the hug.","DAVID: Right. And also in between, some other stuff happened where the relationship between brother and sister gets a different conflict that we ended up leaving out, but it totally helped the buildup of the scene. Because a conflict arose between the three of them. That was then left out. But it still remained as a basic conflict in the constellation of the characters. And this development was totally exciting for us. A bit like a director's trick, but without being shitty to people, so that they reach their limits. Like throwing in an idea to push everyone to the brink. Coming back to the genre arc, what was really important for the shoot as well: to actually show a lot of things and to be explicit. Not to cut away in moments where it's about violence, or even the consequences of violence, or everything that's medical in the film. We wanted to be in these moments and absolutely show it. For example the treatment of the gunshot wound. How he pulls the thing off and you see the \"pizza\" (inflammation around the wound) and the hole. We have been so lucky with our make-up artists, Daniel Schröder and Annette Schirmer. It had to look good. He takes off the patch and you think \"oh shit, this fucking hole in the back\". Starting from there to the thumb at the end (of the film), we wanted to show everything. Not to cut away in those moments and only tell it with sound because it's easier. Sound also works, because it hurts associatively. But we wanted to show it all, as statements of intent to the genre.","DANIEL: Immanence, that was a total buzzword for us when we were shooting. We tried to hold it up everywhere we could. For the genre. To somehow get pressure into it. Meaning: real shots, real locations, no car rides in LED hell. And above all, to let actors play and not only shoot for the edit."]},{"i":"creative-struggles--frustration-management","l":"Creative Struggles & Frustration Management","p":["_“ Final Cut invites you to go on forever: fade here, something there, jab jab, while it is running (!), ... ”","DANIEL: Exactly, the letting go, even of frustrations from the set. We had that with two or three other scenes that took a little bit in the edit to get done. At some point, one of us said, \"Nah, come on, let's do it. We'll take out the montage-sequence and we'll go through it properly, again.\" I mean, you know for yourself when you're sitting in the edit and suddenly the knot unravels. And you know you’ll just need three frames here, a different setting there, and maybe a little bit of a different mindset ... We also had a small, very early test screening with Rainer Nigrelli and Flo Böttger. Watching it with different eyes has also totally changed a lot for us. And for David it was just stress, because there are two guys sitting behind him and say, \"Get in early.\" - \"No, out earlier.\" - \"Boom, there's music.\" - \"Nah, without music.\". That was really super untechnical. That's why, I think, we haven’t had real conflict, except for general frustration management. But there was a long phase, also during editing, where we had no idea whether the film would work. I think we were really afraid that we would cut it and then it would just completely suck.","DANIEL: I got two, three things. David?","DANIEL: I think 30 days in total. I remembered 18 weeks of editing.","DANIEL: That was surprising. That was really surprising.","DANIEL: Totally. It's totally crucial. I've also suffered a lot in Premiere and Avid. More in Premiere, even less in Avid. I really think: getting access to the footage, so you just have a visual reference of what you're working on, that's easy in Final Cut - I can’t understand why you wouldn't want that in editing. I really don’t fathom.","DANIEL: Vape, vape, vape ... I picked up the mouse every once in a while. I really like seeing the timeline to get a feel for what's happening. And what I find so nice about Final Cut is that you can just let it run, trim another clip while it's running, turn the music down a bit, you can just march through. Even Denis felt the vibe that you can just march and “massage” the footage as you like. We actually took moments now and then to get away from the computer and watch it on a TV-Set. Because Final Cut invites you to go on forever: fade here, something there, jab jab, while it is running (!), and so constantly the attention is gone. But I don't think I'm a better editor than David, on the contrary. I'm just a bit more into technical shit, whereas David is more into \"I'll edit the scene nice and tidy\". If there's a new Voice Isolation thing in there, I immediately want to know how it works. Where the limits of it are and where they aren't. David just doesn't give a shit. So I was doing more of an editing assist, if you will.","DANIEL: We thought that was going to happen, but it didn't.","DANIEL: Yes, it could be that I did that once. It wasn’t the usual \"there's a director sitting around\". We always sat behind David, jerking around like dudes, which had to be annoying sometimes, right?","DAVID: 18 weeks of editing, but that was including principal shooting. We were together the whole time. And just fought our way through. It was an incredibly intense process. But at the same time, you have to say, we had no single night shift. Not on any day.","DAVID: 18 weeks was all right. We always said to ourselves, if it takes longer: screw it. We had an extremely low budget and we made super little money on the film. But because it was all of our big screen debut, we didn't give a shit.","DAVID: Exactly, and there again, this whole process is totally awesome that we wrestled for this scene so much and it changed for the better.","DAVID: Exactly, we thought it was going to happen. Sometimes I like that, too, as a certain protection mechanism. If I don't happen to know the director or producer that well yet, then maybe I’d like to have time alone to try something out and not have someone sitting behind me. With Daniel and Denis, there were no such insecurities or fears, for sure. But of course, when you're three guys... How many weeks did you shoot, Daniel?","DAVID: For example, we cut out the death of the character Naimee, the prostitute, very early. And built it so that that strand basically ends loosely for Bruno. After she’s got the sepsis and then an allergic reaction, it just got better again and he doesn't hear anything of her anymore. Particularly Denis and I favored that for a very long time. In the end, it's always a bit theoretical. You kind of have an idea to tell it differently and think: that's okay, it didn’t have as much impact as we thought it might anyways. Naturally, that's the easy way to get rid of it. And that's where Daniel really pissed us off, in a positive sense. He \"beat us up\" to not leave it like that and to give up. And I also think my ethos developed a lot during that time. As an editor, you probably don't want to admit that, but of course sometimes the path of least resistance is a grateful one.","DAVID: Nah, I don't think so. I think during that time there was an update with Dupe Detection. That was great. Because that was totally missing. Then all of a sudden it was there. And it was like \"Thank you!\".","DAVID: Right, and I'm not very interested in that.","DAVID: That was very surprising. Because Daniel and I are geared to spend the whole night. Maybe we were there until 10 p.m., but then the last two hours were mostly talking.","DAVID: Vaping noises, behind me all day.","DAVID: We had a rough cut of, I think, 2:45 hours. The first days were a bit wild … aftermath of the wrapping party. And then we really just sat together every day. So I don't remember any situation where we discussed something, now they're going to leave, we'll talk more tomorrow and I’ll execute.","DAVID: Yes, and I think with me it derives from \"learned stress\" from other projects. I had to unlearn that, in a way. We're editing together again at the moment. Daniel can say \"yes, let's have another look\", as often as he likes - I'm rarely annoyed. Except maybe when I'm tired, the dog is barking and I'm hungry and I think to myself, \"now leave me alone!\" The three of us have had a lot of things to deal with, I guess. Even Denis, who has never sat in the edit so intensely. I mean, with three people, if there's a disagreement, then it's two against one. There's no other way. And of course you’ll get annoyed sometimes. But in the end we all mastered these challenges, even if it took a little while. Denis is also happy now that Naimee's death is still in there. And I also like the way we approached the scene in the edit and with elliptical storytelling. How Bruno sits there and is desperate about what happened. That's how it became a strong scene. Not an action sequence of \"will he manage to save her?\". He arrives, she's already dead, and through our editing his desperation becomes very clear and relatable.","FLORIAN: And the Voice Isolation came with the same update, I think.","FLORIAN: Bitter reality.","FLORIAN: Daniel, can I just ask, with your Final Cut background, were there moments where you said, “let me do it myself”? Did you also sometimes, maybe for the better, push the keyboard over to each other?","FLORIAN: I think it’s great.","FLORIAN: My experience is almost the other way around, that I always say, \"I know you don't like it, but I'll remind you in two days, that maybe we should cut it out.\" Here the director is fighting obtrusively for something? But I guess it makes sense in your collective construct?","FLORIAN: The filmstrip view and how visually Final Cut presents everything, even to a bystander, is helpful to your work.","FLORIAN: We agree on that. Were there certain challenges in this fine-cutting phase, where you struggled and fought or where it just took longer and you were able to solve them?","FLORIAN: Yeah, cool. Let's go into your fine editing phase then. David, you had Denis and Daniel sitting there all the time - or did you send them out of the studio sometimes?","FLORIAN: Yeah, that’s in every process, usually after three weeks of fine editing or so. I would now slowly shift towards post and then wrap the whole thing. Maybe a little question about Final Cut: Did you miss something essential in the whole process? Or where you guys said, \"Gee, that feature would actually be good.\"","FLORIAN: You haven’t been so limited in time. For a TV movie you have to be done after 10 weeks.","Picture Lock Timeline with Playouts and Burnins above"]},{"l":"Post Production","p":["Delivering with Final Cut Pro","DANIEL: Yeah, it's awesome. I think during the edit itself - no complaints. Since I also did VFX, I took over the project technically after editing. And there are a few things during the handovers. For example, I would like to be able to lock the cut. That you can kind of say, Primary Storyline: no more timing change. That would be nice, for example. And sometimes it's a bit annoying that metadata in the Event and Timeline don't stay in sync. For example, if you create a Role for a VFX-source, that is not reflected in the Event, e. g. as a keyword-range. The information is only in the timeline. We had VFX shots marked with their own Roles to get them out as sources for VFX. I just did the math again. 71 fullblown VFX shots, but in reality it was more like 90. And that's not counting stabilizations. Because I did it all myself it was quite a lot of stuff. Then, of course, like I think a lot of people, we also had problems with stabilization, one should just be able to rebuild them 1-1 on other workstations, I think. And timecode... Or is that solved now? There is this timecode window. Is it possible to display the different tracks? I still don't think so.","FLORIAN: Well, you can display it, but you can't burn it in.","DANIEL: Exactly. That's also really annoying, for example, that you can't do proper burn-ins. That would be really nice for a professional workflow, when you send it out to sound-post. So I brought the stuff into Resolve and made burn-ins there, then brought it back into Final Cut. It always takes time.","FLORIAN: Well, there are workarounds inside FCP for these problems, but it could be better. And what was the point with stabilizing? So it wasn't the same on one computer as it was on the other?","DANIEL: No, that worked. But at some point it was like, you do a stabilization and everything is good. If you open it up on another computer, the analyzing never stops (note.: is constantly re-rendering). And the still frame is different from the moving picture. Feels a little wonky, I'd say.","FLORIAN: It would actually need some kind of render lock for one clip. That's what Alex4D once suggested.","“ I also think that you can't design sound as beautifully in almost any other tool as you can in Final Cut. It's an incredibly cool sound tool! ”","DANIEL: Exactly. At least some kind of rebuild function for the internal effects, which are otherwise great. And of course a render lock would be great as well. I think those are the few things I can think of right now. I also think audio lanes are great. I'm very happy about that. I also think that you can't design sound as beautifully in almost any other tool as you can in Final Cut. It's an incredibly cool sound tool! And that's super important to all of us. We worked on sound a lot and very precisely. So it's a shame - but this is a ProTools issue - when you put so much work into details that then all goes down the drain in transfers. I think that's really sad. If I still had time to learn programming somehow, I would do everything I could to get the sound in the studio to be exactly the same as it is in the edit. And also this \"In Avid, a lot of people only edit with mix-tracks\"-paradigm, that you don't really care about the sound in the edit, that bothers me.","FLORIAN: So, when you think about the deliveries now, David, you just handed it over to Daniel? And although you onlined it at WeFadeToGrey you still did the VFX and even the grading?","DANIEL: Exactly.","FLORIAN: But in Resolve probably.","Audio Lanes View of final edit"]},{"i":"pre-gradinghome-office","l":"pre-grading@home-office","p":["DANIEL: Exactly. The film got proper grading after all. And of course, that's only possible because I did a relatively intensive pre-grading. I built myself a nice little grading box in the office with black styros. With my Mac Studio and a 4K-DCI Eizo monitor, which I calibrated to 709. Then in Resolve I worked in full resolution in DaVinci wide gamut/intermediate, which is the RCM-2 color space, a color managed workflow. So I prepared grading on my 709 monitor and cut in all the VFX, then I could just switch to P3D65 to prepare it for the grading cinema. So that process worked extremely well if you ask me.","FLORIAN: Kind of like ACES, right?","DANIEL: So when ACES came out, I was always working in ACES. And when RCM-2 was released from Blackmagic, and the new HDR grading tools ... that is, I think, from the usability so fine, so nice to work with, I find ACES in comparison a bit ... sharper, feels more brutal somehow. I think (as a director) it makes much more sense to colorize your own film than to edit it. You can quickly change things radically. And develop a taste and build and try things out. Long story short, it's been a bit low-tech of course that I did it here in my office but then we moved to WeFadeToGrey and had the total opposite there in the grading cinema. That's kind of where the magic is for me. And what we haven't even said yet: We shot with the Sony Venice on full frame Cooke lenses, all 3:2 open gate in RAW (X-OC-XT), so 2:1 anamorphic 6K. Which is a quasi-12K image (de-stretched) or 12096x4032. But the finish was in 4K. WeFadeToGrey helped us a lot, especially Swen Linde supported us very well. We can only be very grateful. I don't think you could have done much more deluxe in Cologne. They were major supporters of us.","DAVID: Exactly, even though we wanted to do a lot ourselves, they really helped us out a lot.","FLORIAN: And this high resolution, of course it helps with VFX, as well as in editing, when you want to zoom a little further into the frame. I assume that you also used that more often.","DAVID: Yes.","DANIEL: Yes"]},{"i":"director--vfx-artist","l":"Director = VFX-artist?","p":["FLORIAN: Okay. I think now we should, but I'm still interested in the VFX workflow, briefly. So did you do those in Resolve or did you send them back to Final Cut?","DANIEL: Well, I did the onlining in Resolve. You have to know, during film school, I already had gathered experience in title design, grading and VFX-stuff for family and friends. My secret, technical post-production life, so to say. (smiles) So I did the VFX partly in After Effects, partly in Fusion. We don't have any 3D composites in it. But I always sent everything back into Final Cut easily via fcpxml, so that we could make clean playouts and sound transfers \"offline\" with the 2K proxies. We also re-delivered if anything was needed, or looked for another take. The Final Cut project was still in use during that process.","FLORIAN: Okay, okay, okay.","DAVID: Maybe a mini remark about the VFX. We just really had an endless number of retouches.","FLORIAN: Removals, retouches, split screens.","DAVID: Split screens and also really complex split screens, sometimes with two or three other retouching layers.","FLORIAN: Especially because of the handheld camera every single plate has to be tracked before comping, probably a bit tricky.","DAVID: Exactly, and therefore mostly zoomed in a bit. So it's not an uncomplex thing that Daniel did there. Which was just cool, briefly back to the editing process, because we were just never in the situation of having to think about whether it can be paid. We just did what we wanted to do in the end. Denis and I rather tried to hold Daniel back and say, hey, can't we not kill this VFX-shot, because you know what else you have to do.","FLORIAN: Daniel, how long did it take?","DANIEL: Yeah, a long time. I think three, four weeks at least. It was really crazy. But it was also cool. It was glamorous. Almost all the tracking stuff I did with Mocha because I did a lot of rotoscoping stuff with it as well and I just really like using Mocha. Also the performance with these 6K, de-stretched, was relatively good. I mean, I don't even want to pretend it had good performance when it comes to that kind of footage. It was overwhelming. A violent footage tornado that ran through my equipment. I worked with Mocha Pro. It was super awesome, I have to say. But then I had some problems with Mocha. There's a relatively new surface tracker in the Pro version that you can use to track organic stuff. It always crashed. And then I wrote back and forth with Boris FX support several times a day for a week, I think. It was a very intensive exchange. And that was really cool, how they took care of it. I thought that was totally great.","FLORIAN: Because it was so fresh on the M1, probably."]},{"l":"Working with Independent Developers","p":["“ Technically, I found that going through this process with Final Cut was incredibly convenient. Even the re-delivery process was very relaxed. If you document it thoughtfully! And if there's one tool that invites you to do that, it's Final Cut. ”","DANIEL: I have one last thing. And I'll make this real quick. What was so cool for us was when our producers and everybody said we're going to go back into the mix and we're going to re-cut. That everyone worked together like that. With EDLX, I pushed out EDLs for reconforming and created changelists with \"Change List X\". With reference audio because we cut with stems and only brought in original audio where there were changes. I provided the Soundpost with a small flood of deliveries and that worked super well. So don't be afraid to change things afterwards. It's not like we changed every other frame now, it was much more selective. We added one more scene, took one out, changed a few timings and tried to relax so that we didn't have to go into the whole process again. In the process, two or three VFX shots were created and I did the conforming in Resolve, I bounced the transfers back to our audio post, which worked really well. And I have to say, a little bit of “new school filmmaking” is that you don't let technical shit like that stop you. That just because you have a Picture-Lock planned, you're not going to change anything anymore. It's important, of course, that you do it reasonably and don't, like a maniac, say, “I'm not going to stop editing the film”. Technically, I found that going through this process with Final Cut was incredibly convenient. Even the re-delivery process was very relaxed. If you document it thoughtfully! And if there's one tool that invites you to do that, it's Final Cut. You get lists beaten out of there, technical solutions via Resolve and other tools... you can do things that are otherwise very difficult.","DANIEL: I think they were a bit keen on it, but they also saw, I think, that I do comparatively complex tracking stuff that you have to get to grips with somehow. But I was totally accepted by them. They sent me an alpha version early on so that I could work here. And that was just totally awesome, I thought. It was like a little nerd convention, over email and a little bit of chat, just solving problems with each other. So, you know, the nice thing was that I didn't really have a deadline. It wasn't like, fuck, now I've lost three days with some technical problem and I have to hustle through it so that I can keep to my timing. And I had a short contact with the X2Pro people, Marquis Broadcast. They also helped a lot to identify the problem in the first place. For example, we were talking about 32-bit audio. I think they've got a handle on all that in the meantime. (edit: yes. Fixed in 4.5.16) And that was just great that someone could make a reasonable statement. That you don't somehow only look for the error in yourself and don't understand why there is only noise in ProTools.","DANIEL: I worked with that as well. Yeah, that was great. So I did all the VFX lists with Producers Best Friend. Absolutely awesome. Even with thumbnails! If I had done that by hand, I would have been on it for a week.","DANIEL: Probably. It's not quite set yet, but that's what we're assuming right now.","DAVID: That's the plan, January, February.","DAVID: We'll keep talking at you for another two hours.

This was all tracked using a Google Sheet with the shots available to the whole team via Box.","As the edit started to come together, I’d share my thoughts with Mike and the producer who would look at WIP edits and communicate notes back to the animators based on shots that may need some minor tweaks to help the edit. It might be a frame here and there or (very occasionally) a whole rethink, but due to time restraints, we’d often have to compromise, focusing on what served the story and what was achievable in the time and with the resources we had at our disposal.","Being from a live action background, this was a different workflow for me. During pre-production, Mike would board each episode and build an animatic in Storyboard Pro which had a voice scratch track that Mike would produce himself, along with basic sound design elements and some music tracks for reference.","Below you’ll see my basic library setup for the project. The Library title was unfortunately auto generated by PostLab so the naming convention is a bit funky. A while ago, Chris Hocking who is the head of post at LateNite introduced using emojis in our Event & Folder naming structures. Although a simple thing, I’ve found this to be useful in identifying folders and events quickly and efficiently, particularly when you’re under the pump. Sometimes it’s the little things that help to keep a workflow moving.","Due to the pace in which we were working, and with multiple animators across each episode, there would occasionally be minor slip ups with the colour of a prop or a missing design element as we cut from a wide to a tight. In this instance, if we could we’d do a quick fix we would, rather than having to go back to the animator who might’ve already moved on to the next episode.","For post, we set up the project in PostLab so we could utilise the collaboration tools it offered. We encountered a few issues, with some work lost when uploading changes, however the terrible internet in Melbourne could have equally been to blame. As mentioned, the animatics for the series were produced in Storyboard Pro, from which we could export Final Cut Pro XML (.xml) files, along with any rendered visuals separated by panels. Using SendToX, I then produced a timeline with cut points along with Mike’s temp audio work. This was essentially my starting point.","Hi! I'm Kevin, the editor of The Future of Everything, a 2D animated anthology comedy series created by writer/director Mike Greaney.","If we got stuck, we’d occasionally have to pull some tricks, like repeating frames or holding frames to get the frame or two required to fix our issues.","Once I got into the edit, I would use Mike’s animatic for timing, to spot any unwanted changes that may have occurred during the migration, and to spot missing shots that may have gone unallocated or missed by the team. On episode one, I would sometimes use the .xml from the animatics to do scene detection in DaVinci Resolve, however I found that the exports from Storyboard Pro were reliable, so I abandoned this step pretty early on.","Once we had what we’ll call our first assembly edit in place with our completed shots, I’d look at the rhythm of each shot in the context of the edit, and start building a more robust sound design from the animatic.","Once we locked our edit - we’d then turn over our temp sound and music to the designer and composer respectively. On this job we were fortunate that Dead on Sound handled both. We’d export an AAF with X2Pro, with settings to discard any inactive or disabled audio. We’d also embed the audio with eight-second handles. When the mixes and stems came back as .wav files, it was just a matter of adding them as connected clips, assigning a new role, and disabling all other audio roles.","One area where live action differs from animation, is that the animatic is where you get your timing and ‘edit’ right before you start animating. Our focus during this period was sharing notes between the team on Frame.io and finessing the animatic so that by the time we entered the edit, there were really only minor tweaks required to reach our final locked off master.","That first episode was about setting up how our workflow was going to function, so there was a bit or trial and error involved, but once we found something that worked for our post team, as well as Mike and the producers, we stuck to it for the remainder of the series.","This Post-it note on top is my first prop design debut, helping to fix a continuity problem.","To finish with an interesting aside - we found that the episodes with less dialogue and narration tended to be the ones that required more tweaks, as the pacing tended to be more dictated by the animation rather than sound. Not hugely relevant to our workflow, but interesting none the less!","With the first twelve shots that I received, I exported ProRes 4444 from Adobe Animate and then imported them into keyword collections, that were organised by date, in the Animations Event I’d created. This became my process, eventually welcoming all 51 shots into my timeline for episode one. As mentioned, I used the .xml to help me lineup shots for timing, and would export weekly WIP edits for Mike and the producers to review."]},{"l":"Watch Series"},{"l":"Discuss this page"}],[{"i":"der-schatten-the-shadow","l":"Der Schatten (The Shadow)","p":["Case Study for a Mystery Thriller Series"]},{"l":"The Story","p":["A young journalist, Norah, moves from Berlin to Vienna to start a new job.

These little chunks are reordered so that you can watch every similar part of every take in succession. In this way you can quickly compare every angle and find the best shot or dialogue.","Shortly before our production started Chris Hocking had the Titles to Keywords feature for CommandPost ready (commissioned by Knut Hake) and it rendered my old workflow obsolet. Before, we would tag every Sync Clip in the Browser with keywords. Even with dedicated shortcuts and scripting it was not an easy task. If you made a mistake and had to go back one step you could loose orientation. Now, we can complete the entire process within a timeline and with titles and we can also adjust each step throughout the process.","As you can see below its as easy as:","Create a title with dedicated name (e.g. part 01)","Copy it over to the next take, adjust length, and so on","then you send it to Titles to Keywords and are presented with an Event, where all takes are thoroughly tagged with a keyword for every part , which you can then rename with more information, if needed.

This is small enough to have good orientation and, at the same time, not too many keywords, which also can be distracting. Depending on the length of the scene, we would have 5-9 keywords for our \"parts\"-system. The new process takes around than 20 minutes per scene, compared to the old approach, which could take up to 1 hour. The result is something like what's shown in the picture above: When you click on the keyword, which has parts of dialogue or a description of the moment in the name, you can quickly find the line you're looking for (circled in yellow). With the skimmer, it's a matter of milliseconds to play them in succession, select one, and exchange it with the take in the timeline. I also use this for the initial selection process in longer scenes.

I am a Producer-Director and Editor based in New Delhi, India. I collaborate on independent projects while also running my own creative production company called The Qurious Studio. I am the Editor on the Discovery+ India science documentary India’s Space Odyssey. It bagged the award for Best Current Affairs programme for a single Asian market at the Content Asia Awards.","I have used FCP X since its inception in 2011, while we were still working on FCP 7 and I have been a FCPX user ever since FCP 7. The transition from FCP 7 to FCPX was fairly smooth for me, however it was not the same story out there. For most editors the change was overwhelming, particularly the Producers and Production companies became extremely hesitant towards editing on FCPX. And with FCP7 dissolving, premiere occupied most of its space.","So, when I was asked to edit Space Odyssey, like a disclaimer, I had to tell them I edit on FCPX and if that is cool. Now, FCPX has to not just struggle with lack of information on it but also misinformation in the popular circle. I addressed few of their concerns holding my ground with confidence and then I believe they did not had much of a choice given the pandemic as well, so they gave it a nod.","India’s Space Odyssey is the story of the Indian Space Program that goes six decades back to as early as 1962 and before. That meant there was going to be a plethora of data to be managed, while we edit. A lot of which has to be archival footage, in all kinds of files and formats and the last thing to be shoot data. Like I remember the first batch of data, about 20 GB, sourced from NASA archives was eventually never used. All that clubbed with the data, Pria who produced and directed, and her team, shooting remotely in different parts of the world, would also come to my edit studio as they happen.","So I could anticipate much in advance that the core need on this project would be to have a robust data management within FCPX and outside as well. I took some time before the data could start coming in to do some homework on organising and structuring data, in order to follow a process that helps me when the project grows up to be complex. For this specific process demand, I could bring everything to work from keyword collections, smart collections to notes and metadata. Further I spoke to a few seniors but mostly wanted to peek into any pro editors process. Looking around YouTube, I feel most fcpx tuts/videos are often created in context to YouTube content only and there’s limited resources on YouTube for Pro editors. But I did find some help, one of the helpful videos I easily recall was from This Guy Edits, that helped look around the process of an editor to a Academy Nominated Doc. In conclusion, I think by end of project nothing else proved more crucial than doing that homework on organising and building a process to manage data because I never missed or struggled to find a file till the project finished.","Outside FCPX, I had used a drive cloning application to make an automated clone of the drive I was working on every few hours, since I was editing from my home studio and there were no RAID Storages.","Further, I had introduced Frame.io to the production team, since review and feedback were in question as I insisted on editing at my home studio and did not wanted to edit at a rental studio given my COVID-19 precautions/reservations. At the end Frame.io just didn’t turn out to be a saviour but it was so well received that it was further used by the production team on their other projects as well.","In terms of editing, I was editing on a 2017 27-inch iMac with 24GB RAM and an external monitor and I’ve never had a considerable hiccup with regards to FCPX’s performance and stability. It is one of those reasons that I had never left FCPX for, it is safe, stable and unbothering. Good organising, optimising legacy formats, keeping ample space in drives, managing volumes of render files, using Video-Audio roles from scratch, easy multicam syncing-editing and good old cutting were some key highlights to my workflow. Additionally, the documentary, perhaps due to budget constraints, was also colour corrected and graded in FCPX mostly using default tools. All in all, I could simply focus much more on the creative aspect of edit and lesser on the technical requirements once correctly setup. The FCPX workflow allowed me to have the headspace to discuss the edit creatively with my director and address creative concerns.","That said, there were still some genuine questions during the project, some answered and some had to be taken outside FCPX for help. Those addressed were like when exporting master the Discovery specification required a .mxf (OP1a) and I had to dig internet to learn and satisfy my director, that FCPX’s MXF export is by default wrapped in OP1a format. Others that did not find an answer were like the LKFS parameter, for which I could not find a solution within FCPX and I had to take my export file to Premiere Pro which had a LKFS meter.","Beyond performance and stability, I also use FCPX because I find the interface design much less intimidating and chaotic as compared to its contemporaries. The only complain is that there’s much less confidence in the industry on FCPX. And since I do not edit on any other NLE, I am turned down on many many more gigs compared to the numbers I am accepted on. Apple too seem to not take it with much seriousness as they do to their other products.

As you saw with \"Blood Red Sky\", I can be persistent when it comes to material I really believe in.","This time we shot a lot outside, on real locations. That generally creates more of a mood and a better atmosphere. For our little town of Sonnenberg, we went to Vysluní in the former Sudetenland. The story we're telling could have actually happened there. There is a big neo-Romanesque church there in the center [...] this had been desecrated by the communist government, which gave us the opportunity to really shoot our showdown there. To shoot an homage to the Italo-Western with a shootout in a church has always been my dream. Accordingly, the church was the main reason why we chose Vysluní as the location.","Netflix was the gamechanger for me. They made two dream projects possible for me - both of which I had been trying in vain to get off the ground for more than ten years before that.","Excerpt from Blickpunkt:Film - Thomas Schultze 25.05.2023 12:48"]},{"l":"Quick Facts","p":["Netflix feature film (2022) - 95 minutes","47 shooting days near Prague, Czech Republic","185 VFX shots realised by Accenture Song VFX & Pixomondo","Edited on a MacBook Pro M1 Max and Final Cut Pro 10.6.5 in Berlin & Munich"]},{"l":"Workflow","p":["This workflow has been proven stable & reliable on 5 different Netflix productions & many more to date.","On previous shows we would mostly work remote from each other. With Blood & Gold we moved into a new studio in Berlin which made us reconsider a few key aspects of our workflow.","We've been using PostLab for a couple of years already and love the stress-free collaboration and its backup abilities. Working on large libraries requires a lot of up- and downloading which were constrained by our internet bandwidth. I setup a PostLab Local server on a M1 Mac mini which greatly reduced upload times (down to around 60 secs from previously 10-15 mins). The instructions to setup a Local server can be found in the Hedge documentation and we were able to set it up in 2 days without any prior knowledge of GitLab. For additional security we implemented Tailscale (Wireguard VPN) to restrict access to the server, which also allows us to access libraries remotely.","We considered a Jellyfish NAS for our media management, but couldn't justify the cost for our 2-person studio. PostLab Drive is a great tool for working remotely, but it still requires all media to be uploaded to their server. We were looking for a similar tool that would keep our media in sync which lead me to Syncthing. It allows you to sync directly over your local ethernet network, but also syncs peer-to-peer over WAN access. For additional security these connections are also running through Tailscale. This setup allows us to be very mobile and we solely work off OWC Envoy Pro SX 4TB drives which are super-fast and rugged. In addition we keep daily backups on two OWC ThunderBay Flex 8 drives.","Before shooting started we talked with our post-production supervisor, sound recordist, script supervisor, camera department and DIT on set to align our workflows.","We discuss editing codecs and naming of media files. We usually prefer ProRes 422 LT files because of the excellent quality to size ratio that is suitable for cinema screenings.","It is especially important to make sure they shoot with permanently synced timecode. For the sound files it is important to carry over the iXML information so that FCP can read the correct channel names.","With all of the above set we continue to setup our edit bays and our workflow down this project.","An in-depth version of our workflow can be found here: Final Cut Pro Workflow for feature films"]},{"l":"System Setup","p":["Post Haste allows you to save folder structures as a template. Huge timesaver as we name all drives or RAIDs identically and work with the exact same folder hierarchy.","Syncthing enables us to synchronize all media in the background between our different edit bays. It works over the internet as well as on a local network without the need to upload lots of data.","Tailscale is a super easy VPN solution for building secure networks and allows you to remotely access from any network or physical location.","Notion is our database to keep track of the production status of each scene, VFX shots and other useful information."]},{"l":"Edit Preparation","p":["We use a number of different tools to prepare our shooting days:","PostLab offers stress-free collaboration for Final Cut Pro. Upload your FCP Library and everybody on your team can access it over the cloud. It also serves as a time-machine as you can revert to any uploaded iteration of your library. Starting with this production we moved to PostLab Local.","Lockit Network is a powerful script supervising tool that collects metadata on set which can be ingested into Final Cut Pro without the need to manually copy-paste important script notes.","Sync-N-Link is a tool to batch synchronize dual-system audio and video and to batch-create multicams. You can also use a target project to create synced clips in a different aspect ratio.","CommandPost is the Swiss Army Knife for Post Production Professionals. It offers several toolboxes that offer huge time savings. One of which is to create line-by-line keywords:\" The Titles to Keywords toolbox is a huge timesaver when editing complex scenes. Couldn’t live without it anymore. And directors love that every delivery of any line from any take is just one click away!\" - Knut Hake - Additional information can be found in this article fcp.co - Script-focused feature film Workflow"]},{"l":"Editing","p":["Here are a few tips for the editing part when working on a Netflix production:","Use roles extensively as they help organize the timeline and makes turnovers easy and comprehensible.","Netflix requires all non-english content to be captioned for all internal screenings. We used MacWhipser with on-device transcription and then translate it using DeepL to generate captions.","Blood & Gold included lots of fighting and shooting sequences. We used Audio Design Desk to do temp SFX layouts which made this process fun and super quick. Their Final Cut Pro integration made things a really smooth process.","We used chapter markers to tag VFX shots as they are easily searchable in the timeline Index.","Create a Compound clip for every VFX shot and place all iterations inside. They are very useful to update VFX shots in multiple timelines and have access to previous versions."]},{"l":"Turnovers","p":["X2Pro will generate a ProTools AAF which includes roles as named tracks making the session very organized for the sound editor.","EDL-X creates industry standard EDLs for either picture or sound turnovers and can be easily filtered by roles for specific turnovers.","Producer's Best Friend generates rich & detailed spreadsheets that we include with any turnover as they show all relevant metadata such as effects, keywords, markers. We also use those reports to ingest information into our Notion VFX database.","Change List X lets you compare two timelines and generate a detailed report that shows you all edit changes."]},{"l":"Trailer"},{"l":"Additional Links","p":["Final Cut Pro Workflow for feature films by Knut Hake","fcp.co - Script-focused feature film Workflow by Iain Anderson"]},{"l":"Discuss this page"}],[{"l":"Turn of the Tide","p":["Turn of the Tide premiered on Netflix on Friday 26th May 2023.

I said straight away I was going to edit this on FCP. Augusto told me, \"I don't really care what you use to edit. That's your thing. Run with it\".","FCP is so fast that we spent more time focusing on the creative aspect of editing and not on the technical ones.","For sound turnovers, she used X2Pro to create AAFs, which our sound team praised. Our AAFs were very well organized. We can thank FCP roles feature for that.","However, when I was asked to edit Netflix's \"Gloria\", I opted for Premiere instead, due to the post-production house's lack of experience with FCP.","I also called the color grading and sound studios to talk about validating my XMLs and AAFs. That workflow test went seamlessly.","I wish this case study could be longer, but the editorial process was so smooth that I really don't have much to say.","Marcos Castiel (Ep's 1, 2, 5 & 7)","Originally, the plan was for me to edit all seven episodes, but time constraints meant I had to share my workload with another editor, Pedro Ribeiro.","Our 1st assistant, Maria Ruiz, smoothly handled VFX turnovers and color using FCP's native XML.","Pedro is an avid user and veteran editor, so I had to break the news to him that, for this one, he was using FCP. Pedro spent two weeks learning the software, and that was it.","The editorial collaboration was made possible by PostLab, a third-party software tool since FCP does not have native collaboration built-in.","The English title of the upcoming series, \"Turn of the Tide\", holds a deeper meaning for me.","The production company asked for a workflow test, which I confidently agreed to.","The production company initially resisted the idea of using FCP, and I vented my frustration to fellow editors about the lack of trust in FCP for major projects.","The same issue arose when I edited the feature film \"Remains of the Wind,\" which was also done in Premiere.","To prepare, I read Knut and Sam's Notion Workflow Guide for FCP on feature and episodic TV, which I highly recommend to anyone using FCP for fiction.","We used shared storage and edited seamlessly without technical hiccups."]},{"l":"Trailer"},{"l":"Poster"},{"l":"Screenshots"},{"l":"Discuss this page"}],[{"i":"neighbours---erinsborough-high","l":"Neighbours - Erinsborough High","p":["As you can see in the screenshot below, we group everything by shoot day (in the year, month, day format so it’s listed alphabetically), then a sub-folder for individual cameras, sound and continuity notes, and then separated by card. We were sometimes shooting 50fps on the Odyssey 7Q+, so the “B” cards listed below are from those.","Because we were doing regular card dumps, we were only really ever a card dump or two behind the shoot. Within a couple of hours after wrapping the whole shoot, we had rough assembly edits of all episodes in Final Cut Pro.","Because we’d done so much organisation and prep-work both before the shoot and during the shooting, it meant we could spend our editing days just being creative, which was so much fun. During the producers screening, the feedback was incredibly positive, and we were able to action of lot of the feedback straight away. This is where Final Cut Pro really shines.","Chris Hocking from LateNite Films explains how his team used Final Cut Pro to edit, mix, grade, and deliver the much anticipated series \"Neighbours - Erinsborough High\" for Fremantle Australia.","Chris Hocking has been working in the entertainment industry professionally since he was fourteen – although he’s been hanging around backstage since as long he could remember. His first proper job was operating animatronics for a BBC kids show, before moving on to lighting design for live productions which has taken him all around Australia as well as Taiwan, South Africa and New Zealand. He was previously the Post Production Supervisor at Melbourne’s award winning editing house The Butchery, and finishing house The Refinery. He’s the founder and General Manager at LateNite Films, and has both producing and editing credits on a wide variety of projects including high profile music videos, television series, documentaries and feature films.","Everything went fairly smoothly. There are some things that Apple could definitely implement to make our lives easier, such as mask tracking in the colour tools, better sharing and relinking in relation to Camera & Custom LUTs, the option to turn on a timecode overlay on the A/V Output for client reviews without putting a timecode generator on the top of your project.","For final delivery, we needed to deliver ProRes masters with bars and tone, countdown and slate and OP-59 compliant audio. To create the legal audio, we exported each episode out as a AIFF, then brought it into RX7 to make compliant then brought back into FCP. We prefer this method, rather than using a compound clip and a loudness plugin within FCP.","For the few Odyssey 50fps clips that spanned multiple files, we decided to just manually combine them within a synchronized clip in FCP. We also manually synced the slowed-down audio using a clapperboard, so we had that as a reference.","For this year, Fremantle developed a 5-part spin-off series titled “Neighbours: Erinsborough High”, delving deeper into the lives of the teen characters at Erinsborough High with more complex storylines reflective of issues faced by teens universally. Creator Jason Herbison and Series Producer Natalie Lynch stepped away from the traditional look and tone of Neighbours, creating a darker look and broody feel.","How did you get involved in this project?","I did all of the sound design myself directly within FCP with the help of iZotope RX7, ERA 4 Bundle Pro, and a handful of other Waves plugins. There were a couple of tricky lines that I needed to take out to RX7 standalone to cleanup, but most of the time I could do any noise reduction right on the FCP timeline with RX7.","I have a huge hatred of emoji’s in general, and refuse to use them on my phone, however, they’re a massive help in FCP to allow you eye to easily navigate to something. We also used other emoji’s as a visual aid, for example we used a snail to easily highlight 50fps shots and a camera to highlight video diary scenes.","If you haven’t already read Bradley’s amazing article comparing all the popular offload software solutions - I highly recommend it. Bradley is an extremely knowledgeable camera assistant and DIT who has worked with us on numerous jobs. Whilst he wholeheartedly recommends Silverstack, I got to spend a bit of time with the Hedge team at NAB earlier in the year, and I’m happy with my decision to continue to use it as my preferred off-load tool. It’s fast, simple, rock-solid and has a beautiful modern UI.","In 2018, Neighbours recognized the newly introduced marriage equality bill with the first same-sex wedding and this year introduced to the regular cast the first transgender character played by actor and trans advocate Georgie Stone. Neighbours screens locally on Network TEN’s Peach channel and 10 Play and is among the highest rating programs on Channel 5 in the UK.","In hindsight, what was your experience doing everything inside FCP from ingest to delivery?","In terms of our master library layout, this is how it ended up:","In terms of visual effects, there was a bunch of general cleanup work we did in FCP, and a handful of shots that we took to Adobe After Effects & Mocha Pro for things like object removal, digital makeup and cleanup.","In the series, the characters are constantly communicating with each other via iMessages. For the graphics for this, after testing a bunch of other products, and experimenting with our own Motion template, we ended up using the incredible “Text Message 2” Motion Template from BretFX. Bret Williams was absolutely fantastic in terms of addressing some special feature requests we had, and gave us access to a pre-release of “Text Message 2” for this show.","It has been a stepping stone for Australia’s biggest Hollywood names and musicians such as Kyle Minogue, Guy Pearce, Jason Donovan, Margot Robbie, Delta Goodrem, Alan Dale, Jesse Spencer, Eliza Taylor-Cotter, Natalie Imbruglia and Holly Valance, just to name a few.","It would also be awesome if FCP or Compressor had audio loudness and compliance tools built-in, and it would be amazing if you could apply effects and adjust the master gain on audio Roles and Subroles. The way I see this working is you’d select the role in the Timeline Index, then adjust it in the Inspector.","Jaque had developed his own LUTs for each scene after doing camera tests prior to the shoot, which he was using both on-set for the directors monitor, which we also used in post for the offline edit. At the end of each day, if there were any LUTs that didn’t feel right when he was shooting, we would send him a still at the end of the day, and he would create a new LUT at home in Resolve and send it to us to replace in Final Cut Pro.","Just little things like having the opening titles as Compound Clips meant that I could quickly adjust something and all edits would update instantly, or if I needed to tweak a temporary grade, I could just do it within the Multicam clip to automatically update all other instances of the clip.","Kevin ended up doing the grade all within Final Cut Pro. We used a mixture of all the built-in colour tools (wheels, board, curves, etc), Magic Bullet Cosmo II, FilmConvertPro2, Colorista III, mLut by motionVFX, and the CoreMelt Everything bundle. We also used Alex4D’s adjustment layer and Grow/Shrink and SmoothMove extensively.","Kevin was working off a 5K iMac, and I was working off my MacBook Pro connected to an 5K LG. Our main storage was an OWC Jellyfish Mobile connected via 10GbE to both Mac’s. The Jellyfish was literally just sitting behind our iMac. The fact that it’s very powerful yet so quiet and easy to transport (thanks to its top handle), makes it an ideal on-set shared storage system.","Luckily, as I’ve worked with Jaque the cinematographer before, we had a really good on-set relationship. So he was happy for me to essentially act as a 2nd AC in a lot of ways. We were also very fortunate that we’ve worked with a lot of the other crew on various other jobs over the years, so every one was very happy and excited to be mixing things up.","Luckily, the producers gave us a huge amount of freedom and trust to use whatever tools we wanted, and allowed us to design our own workflow. We started chatting with the team in May, by July it was agreed that LateNite would handle the full post production workflow using Final Cut Pro.","Mixing 5 x TV half episodes all within FCP was more time consuming for me compared to using a DAW such as Protools or Logic Pro. However, the benefit was that if I couldn’t fix something easily in the sound design stage (we didn’t have time to do ADR for example), I could simply adjust the edit there and then. If I came up with an audio-based gag, I could also adjust the edit to make things work.","Most of the cast were still also working on the main show simultaneously, which made this project a massive logistical endeavour for the production team. As we were constantly jumping back and forth between locations due to cast availabilities, we uploaded frame grabs of each scene to Dropbox so that our DP could easily compare lighting setups. To do this, Kevin would just insert a shot from each scene into a temporary timeline, bulk change the duration to one frame, then use CommandPost’s Timeline Batch Export feature to export individual stills with the same clip naming.","Neighbours is the longest-running drama series on Australian television, celebrating its 35th Anniversary in 2020. It is produced by Fremantle and still today is viewed by a global audience of millions, making it one of Australia's most successful media exports.","Once a card dump was synced, keywords applied, clips rejected and favourited, we’d then merge these events into our master library on the Jellyfish and delete the temporary library. In terms of splitting the workload between Kevin & myself, generally I would do all the data wrangling and syncing, then either Kevin or myself would do the keywords and rejection/favourites.","Once in keyword collections, we reject any unusable bits of footage, and favourite anything that stands out. The great thing about the Sound Devices 788T is that you can set it up to prefix filenames with an @ symbol if they’re “circled takes”. We’d then manually rename these clips after they’ve been synced to use an emoji for an easy visual cue:","Once we had copied the rushes to three drives, we then used good old drag and drop to bring the media into FCP. We would create a new temporary library for each card dump, where we’d bring in the media, give the two cameras an angle label, then use Sync-N-Link to sync them up, using the filename from the audio files.","Our company LateNite Films has had close ties with Neighbours for a number of years. My business partner Nicholas Colla is currently directing a block of the main show and his wife (and LateNite writer director/producer) Nicolette Minster wrote Episode 1 of this spin-off series. When Neighbours producers Natalie Lynch & Natalie Mandel were in the planning stages for Erinsborough High, they reached out to us to get a quote for the visual effects and colour grading for the series because they loved our work on The Wizards of Aus - a series we did a few years back that premiered as 3 x 30’ episodes for television and later released as a 6-part web-series on YouTube.","Our in-house LateNite colourist and editing guru, Kevin Luk was on-set with me for the shoot, and we were setup in one of the spare production offices. I originally was going to setup a standing desk on one of our Magliner trolleys - but I ended up loaning that to the production team to make transporting gear around the studio easier, so I improvised.","The cast is a mix of regulars from the main series and new faces, along with some students and teachers who've previously only appeared on the main show in a guest capacity. The series runs in parallel to the main show, as the disappearance of a Year 12 student during the exam period leads to some surprising revelations from the students.","The Jellyfish was our “master” drive, and the two 4TB SDDs were our backups. Each night both Kevin and myself would take a drive home for safety, and I would backup my drive to another hard drive overnight.","The main show has a very traditional paper-based workflow, with lots of marked up scripts for the editors, continuity notes, camera reports, sound reports, etc. and they’re used to doing a maximum of two card dumps a day - so it was definitely a little bit of a shock to the system for the 1st AD when we demanded much more regular card dumps, and requested no physical paper of anything.","The Neighbours team produces 259 episodes a year for the main show. From story plotting to on-screen It takes six months, and from filming to on-screen it’s 11 weeks. They assemble rushes daily, then have a 2-3 day directors cut, and a 1-2 day producers lock-off for the offline. As you can imagine their post team is pretty much always flat out, so adding an additional 5 half-hour episodes was obviously going to put a lot of additional stress on their already busy department.","The next week, we had one more day with the director to do any final tweaks that he wanted to do, and another day with him to build recaps for each episode, then it was straight into finishing.","The original plan was for the in-house Neighbours post team to handle data wrangling and offline editing using Media Composer at their studios in Nunawading, then we’d tackle grade, sound, online and delivery. As we learned more about the series, we explained the advantages of taking the whole post production process external.","The ProRes masters were delivered the post team at the main show who use Technicolor to do a final QC and review prior to dispatch. We used Producers Best Friend to generate music reports that were used to create music cue sheets.","The series follows the highs and lows of the residents of Erinsborough, a fictional suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, providing an entertaining reflection of today’s diverse community.","The shoot was 2 days of exteriors with minimal crew, 5 days in the studio, and 1 day of exterior pickups. Everything was on the studio grounds, with the exception of an afternoon shooting at an actual school across the road from the studio.","The show was shot on two Sony FS7s. Majority of the footage was shot to 1920x1080 ProRes @ 25fps, however for the occasional 50fps shot, they switched over to recording to an out-board Odyssey 7Q+, also in ProRes, as the camera can’t capture 50fps in ProRes natively. We’re very much used to shooting 4K or 8K, and it wouldn’t have had any impact on our post workflow, but it was decided to just shoot HD to stay consistent with the main show.","The sound recordist (the legendary John McKerrow) was using a Sound Devices 788T which was timecode synced to both cameras using Tentacle Sync’s. We made sure the sound recordist accurately labelled all tracks, and did circle takes where appropriate. We’d use a EPISODE-SCENE SHOT-TAKE filename, which we’d later use in FCP to label our rushes.","This article was originally written for fcp.co in 2018. Ronny Courtens has kindly allowed us to release it on FCP Cafe. Thank you! Thank you to Tyler Nelson for formatting for FCP Cafe!","This was fantastic, as it meant we were cutting with pictures that looked the way the DOP intended. Kevin also had a calibrated Eizo monitor connected to his iMac, which meant we could accurately judge the footage on-set.","To me, “driving” Final Cut Pro feels the same as taking control of an Autodesk Flame or Smoke - you truly feel like an artist and a musician, where the tools can keep up with your mental thought process.","We decided early on to attempt to do the grade, sound design and delivery all within Final Cut Pro for both schedule and budget reasons, but also to creative flexibility as we could adjust the edit as needed when doing both sound design.","We did one final half day of pickups on a Monday, then we packed up our temporary office and moved back into the LateNite office. Kevin spent the afternoon finishing off the assemblies of all episode, then he handed over the controls to me to take over editing.","We ended up with a tiny 2.17 TB of rushes at the end of the production. Because the shooting schedule was so intense, there was no time for the director or cinematographer to review rushes. When shooting in the studios, the producers had camera feeds into their production offices so they could review throughout the day.","We then had Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday morning to do a directors cut of all Episodes ready for a producers screening on the Thursday at 3pm. Over the years, we’ve competed in and won quite a few 48 Hour Film Project competitions. So, whilst the schedule was fairly intense, it wasn’t as scary or stressful as some projects we’ve done in the past.","We tried to do as many regular card dumps as we could - generally around 6 a day. Because we were all in the same location, I would get a text message from the Script Supervisor when they were close to wrapping a scene, and I would walk up ready to collect the two camera cards, and a sound card. I’d then take it back to our little lair, and use Hedge to backup the cards to two 4TB SSDs and to the Jellyfish.","We used a Blackmagic MultiDock 10G via USB-C for dumping the Odyssey SSDs, and a USB3 reader for dumping the XQD cards. The Sound Devices cards came to us as CF cards.","We used the same folder structure as we use for all jobs. We have a folder for rushes, and then have sub- folders for each application. We don’t use a template or Post Haste, as I don’t like having a bunch of empty folders making things messy. Instead we just have a standard procedure that all our staff follow, so everything’s consistent.","We’d then go through and keyword everything into ScriptSync-style keywords for easy access. Kevin built these keywords based off the script prior to the shoot, and we modified them as needed.","When a card dump was all organised and in the master library, Kevin would start putting together an assembly edit, with generator placeholders for missing scenes based on the script.","When we first started shooting, we had Daryl Watson (the incredible script supervisor) working off a Shot Notes X Excel template, which we intended to import back in as metadata. However, after the first couple of card dumps we decided against this, as we were getting “circle takes” and scene/shot/take in the sound metadata anyway. Rather than go off his “favourites”, we had time to do our own selects when reviewing and assembling the footage anyway. We still got Daryl to email us the Excel documents at each card dump as a reference if needed, but we didn’t actually use Shot Notes X in the end.","When we first started toying with the idea of taking over the entire post workflow for this series, we knew that the only way we’d agree to do it is if we had the freedom to use Final Cut Pro as our tool of choice - as opposed to Avid Media Composer, which is used on the main show. I’m very used to an Avid workflow and whilst I love certain aspects about it, I feel way more creative when I use Final Cut Pro.","When we heard that this series was edited and finished in Final Cut Pro by LateNite Films, I decided to sit down with Chris Hocking, one of the founders the company and also the creator of the free and open source automation tool 'CommandPost'. We will talk in detail about how they used Final Cut Pro to not only edit the entire series, but also handle the grade, the sound design, and the final delivery. Enjoy!","Written by Ronny Courtens."]},{"l":"CommandPost","p":["A scrolling timeline.","Ability to Ignore Inserted Camera Cards.","Absolutely. The best way to think about CommandPost is as a virtual assistant editor - it literally just presses buttons and controls the mouse as a normal user would via the Accessibility Framework that Apple has built in to macOS.

Why did you develop this utility?","We’re hoping that the Final Cut Pro community will jump on-board and help support our CommandPost journey so that we can continue to experiment and innovate. Every day I get several emails, and social media messages from CommandPost users asking questions and/or requesting new features. Between running a small creative business, and supporting a young family, the amount of time I can devote to CommandPost is fairly limited.

In this way a user can apply and execute different prompts just by selecting the single set.","Perhaps this thing I wrote may sound a bit ... “ pompous,” or “ self-praising,” however, I tried very hard to think from the end user's point of view: the organization of prompts into sets allows you to generate an immense amount of content by simply doing two clicks by first selecting the set and then running the analysis.","My competitor with this application, MacWhisper, an application that I greatly value and respect (let me be clear!) has been providing for several months now the ability to query ChatGPT with prompts, but these must be written by hand.","My system, on the other hand, provides for doing the work once, and then applying it later all the times automatically, and in the case of more common prompts, these are ready-made and implemented by yours truly.","The system by the way allows for prompts and sets to be updated, continuously, without having to update the application."]},{"i":"one-small-planet-many-different-languages","l":"One small planet, many different languages","p":["When I started writing the first prompts-which, I recall, are the “ questions” posed to the artificial intelligence to be answered-I thought I would have to create numerous prompts in all the languages I wanted to support.","Of course, I started with English, thinking that I would then be able to translate all these prompts more or less automatically, specifying the language as well.","Later, almost by accident, I submitted an Italian text for analysis using English prompts. To my surprise, I noticed that in most cases the response was still given in Italian. By repeating the processing several times, I was sometimes getting answers in Italian, sometimes in English.","It is important to know that unless you intentionally force them, the responses of all these artificial intelligence systems, not just ChatGPT, have a component of probabilistic variability. This means that, using the exact same prompt, you can get very different results as well.","These systems do not really understand languages, but rather are formidable imitators of human language. They do not even know the words themselves, but rather the particles that make them up (in jargon called tokens). They respond by trying to find the best solution to the question formulated.","If most of the text is in Italian, even if the question is asked in English, there is a good chance they will answer in Italian.","So I went a step further: at all system prompts I specified to answer using the same language as the content, even if the question is in English. In this way, I was able to achieve a very high success rate: to date, out of more than 200 prompts, in only one case was the answer given in English against a text in Italian. By repeating the request, I obtained the desired solution.","In conclusion, with a margin of error of less than 1% (and probably much less), NQR provides results in the same language as the content being analyzed.

And we were still talking about GPT-3 a couple of years ago. I had seen with my very own eyes, finally, a machine pass the Turing test brilliantly.","But then, as with all things, I delved deeper, had my own experience, and realized which things LLMs do excellently and which, still, struggle to solve even with sufficiency.","Given that these tools are continually improving, at a breakneck pace (but at some point the power consumption will be so high that they cannot go beyond a certain ceiling), I have learned to exploit them for what they are: a great help, an excellent kick-start, something that can get you out of the deadlock of the white paper, but definitely not a final solution.","When I record an episode of my podcast, rather quickly, I take advantage of these tools to have description, tags, title. But then, for the most important information, I get on the keyboard and correct the errors, take out what is not needed and add the misses.","My philosophy is to take this metadata that is generated and rework it in such a way that from a “just enough” level you get to “more than satisfactory.”","You have to look at the responses of artificial intelligence a little bit like the work of a newly hired intern: you always have to check what it is doing, because, in the end, anyway, the people who put the face on it are us..."]},{"l":"Discovering hidden things","p":["When I handed over the final version of the application to the guys at FxFactory for them to publish on the store, I then focused on the prompts.","Since these could be added and changed without updating the application, I thought it would be a nice gift for all users to have as much functionality as possible ready “ out of the box”.","Always starting from the content I create, particularly the wine podcast, I developed some prompts that allowed me to have a fresh look at the content itself.","Initially I started with URLs: I wanted to know what links were being quoted in the broadcast, so I created this prompt:","A relatively simple thing that, however, when I ran it, made me discover that there were many more references in an episode than I remembered:","For me it was really a revelation: the clever “ stupidity” of LLMs had made me discover something I had forgotten.","Now, if you think about it for a moment, this is one of the most important and relevant things about this whole article, but also about everything we think or can think about this class of tools!","These objects do a cold analysis, without love, without passion, without even understanding what they are doing, however, they do it rather precisely. I emphasize: “ rather precise,” not “ infallible,” let me be clear.","Simply put, they make us discover or, better yet, rediscover something about the content, so that we can really have metadata that also has semantic meaning!","I went ahead and developed other prompts, such as this one that identifies brands:","Or this one that tries to figure out who the participants are if they are mentioned:","I realize that I have only begun to scratch the surface of what can be done.

Basically, instead of me writing what I needed, as I always did, I asked the artificial intelligence, again via one of NQR's prompts, to write the prompt for generating the image, to be passed then, by copying and pasting it, into Firefly.","It is interesting this first level of recursiveness: one prompt generating another prompt...","But then, since OpenAI has the API to directly generate images with the DALL-E model, I thought it would be nice to bypass this whole round. At a not insignificant cost-we're speaking of a few cents, not a few thousandths-I decided to go ahead with direct generation.","That said, as of now images can be generated directly from within Transcriber!","You can choose the model, DALL-E 2 or DALL-E 3 (DALL-E 2 is absolutely unqualifiable in quality, I think they only keep it on because there are some applications that use it). For DALL-E 3 you can choose to generate a square or 16:9 image, either horizontally or vertically.","You can also choose to generate a standard image or one with a “vivid” pattern, which creates more aesthetically pleasing results that look more like stock photos instead of regular photos.","Generating a 16:9 image comes in at a cost of $0.12."]},{"i":"money-money-money","l":"Money, Money, Money!","p":["But how much does this stuff cost?","Probably by the time you read this article I will have updated Transcriber with the new version of the system that also shows how much you paid per generation.","The costs, using the GPT-4o-mini model, are really low: we're talking about $0.15 per million prompt tokens($0.60 per million response tokens), which translates, roughly speaking, to something like $0.003-0.004 for a single prompt and its response on a 30-minute video.","Simply put, doing a dozen or so prompts, more or less, with even an image, you end up spending something in the range of $0.15-0.25.","If you are not interested in image generation, the costs drop into the range of $0.01-0.03!","A lot? Little? I'll leave it up to you to decide; as far as I'm concerned, these are really small prices.","Just to do the math: with what a coffee at the bar costs here in Italy (which, despite being the home of coffee, is one of the places where coffee, although the best in the world, costs less) you can run hundreds of prompts.","In August, in which I tested this system far and wide with all my content, even generating dozens of images, I spent only $4 with OpenAI: the cost of a cappuccino and a brioche...","You may argue that the model I use, GPT-4-o-mini, is much cheaper than GPT-4, which is, according to OpenAI, more refined.

And what ties it to ChatGPT? I will try to explain things in a simple and certainly inaccurate way, so those who understand a little about artificial intelligence, plug their ears...","Whisper is a transformer, and while Siri, Alexia, and Google try to understand the word or phrase that was spoken, Whisper goes a little bit wide and also tries to understand the context of each phoneme, and through a very broad knowledge base as well as statistical calculations, tries to make each word follow the word that makes the most sense, consistent with what is being spoken.","Whisper's wide model takes up a good 3GB, a little more in memory when it runs, but it is still to be considered a \"basic\" model, probably ChatGPT four is at least 100 times bigger - which is why it will be difficult to run something like this on our computers.","Rose-water technical details aside, this is one explanation of why Whisper is so much more accurate and also succeeds where other transcription systems stall: in the unfortunate event that it does not understand a word or part of a word, it \"reconstructs\" it from what comes before and what comes after.","Another major struggle was to \"teach\" (although perhaps the correct term would be to specify) Whisper to also generate punctuation marks, such as periods, commas, question marks, and escalation marks.","Pay attention to this: when you dictate to Siri you have to specify the punctuation mark you want to add.","Small color note: this very article is accomplished by dictating to Siri while I am moving between home and office by car.","One of the great peculiarities of Whisper is that it can also figure out what punctuation marks are, but this is not something it does automatically, you have to specify some input parameters so that it understands that the context has to include them as well."]},{"l":"Before the prototype","p":["In short, teased by the Twitter discussion and the endorsement, I started playing around with this system, trying to figure out what I could get out of it and what the limitations of the technology were.","I think I managed to make a very first prototype, with, of course, a horrible user interface within 7-10 days. And, of course, I started testing it with all the work I was doing in March 2023, projects of various kinds: from pharmaceutical video presentations to a video game trailer to some tutorials.","Here I encountered the first limitations of Whisper, which performs exceptionally well when the audio is quite clear, content with a speaker or interviews, while it goes deeply into crisis in case music or sound effects are present.","Initially, I told myself that this would not be a big problem, just specify in the requirements that the application was best suited for spoken content, nevertheless I felt the need to refine it, so I rolled up my sleeves and wondered if there was a possibility of parsing the audio in such a way as to find the points where there was speech and then eliminate those where there was only music or sound effects.","I succeeded by taking advantage of some libraries provided by Apple for analyzing sounds. Subsequently, one thing I have been working on in parallel with both this app and the one that does text-to-speech is the highlighting of sentences in sync with the video (or, rather, with the audio).","I always thought that when doing a speech review, physically, the people in charge have in front of them a sheet, printed in Courier font, with all the features of the script. For this very reason I wanted the words and sentences to be written in this same style, not so much for skeuomorphism, but because it is still the most effective and efficient method of reading the text while listening to the related audio.","I worked not a little in such a way as to continuously highlight the line of text that is \"spoken\" at a particular moment in time.","When there is information that varies over time, the concept of a timeline is one of the strongest: it transforms the horizontal axis into that of time, so the playhead moves from left to right as the playback continues.","Showing in a two-dimensional screen information that evolves over time is never a trivial matter, not least because it involves making user interfaces and real-time interaction methods, which in some ways have more to do with video games than with video writing programs...","This is why I am particularly proud of this part of the code; not only is the segment highlighted with the sentence being spoken, but it is also easy to interact with it by correcting any transcription errors.","It sounds like a breeze, but believe me, it's not!"]},{"l":"3GB of passion","p":["Another big problem stemmed from the fact that the model I wanted to use, again in open source and with respect to legality, takes up a good 3GB, as I mentioned earlier.","Downloading a 3GB application, as annoying as it may seem, is not that problematic, for the installation to begin with.","But then I thought about all the times there would be a need for an upgrade, and downloading 3 GB of stuff, most of it always the same, would be particularly troublesome, especially in areas of the world where connection speeds are not comparable to those of the big European or North American metropolises.","So I set to work on making a system that would allow the downloading of the template only the first time, and among other things in \"shared\" mode, so that in case I wanted to develop another application based on the same technology, it could safely use the model already downloaded (spoiler: thing I have actually already done with FCP Video Tag)."]},{"l":"The field test","p":["\"Of course yes!\", I replied, and the fact that I had a real use case, with tight deadlines and a not inconsiderable qualitative demand, led me to work heavily on the application, so as to improve as much as possible the interface and also the possibility of exporting the subtitles in different formats, including text with total transcription, unsynchronized, and later also RTF with time code indication in a different style.","And it was during the interviews that it was asked if it was possible to have even a rough transcript of what was being said for medical and scientific review.","And since Transcriber's purpose is to extract the subtitles from the audio, I thought, more or less simply, to add precisely the subtitle overlay to the video, so the eyes are all and always in the same area of the screen.","At the end of April I had to go to Florence to attend a medical conference and do several interviews with many doctors, in a total of 12 languages, including English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Polish, and Brazilian Portuguese.","I patted myself on the back because this stuff, in the end, among the transcription applications, I guess I only had it...","I told myself that there had to be a way to \"split\" a subtitle while still keeping the text in sync with the video.","In practice, the traditional transcription process, which involved typing the texts while continuing to pause the video, translates into an automatic process of \"raw\" transcription, which must necessarily be followed by a (much faster) checking phase.","In the end I decided that, as an option enabled by default, the system tries to figure out whether the user has pressed the ENTER button to wrap, and when it is pressed, the split sentence automatically generates two subtitles that are fairly synchronized to the video, where \"fairly\" means \"more or less imperceptibly.\"","Just by making these doctor interview videos, I told myself that by keeping the video played at the top of the interface separate with the transcribed text at the bottom, the user's attention would be focused on only one of the two.","Just looking at the overlay subtitles, I realized that although I had struggled not a little to try to get Whisper to digest the punctuation marks, in some cases the sentences were so long that they would result in huge subtitles that would take up too much of the screen.","Let me be clear: I have always considered Transcriber as a semi-automatic tool, this means that the transcription should still be reviewed a human being.","The boundary conditions are simple: artificial intelligences are very fast, very efficient and also very effective, but they don't understand what they are doing; it's just data to them. It's up to us to maintain control.","This also sounds like a no-brainer, but it's not, not least because the system, during playback, continuously updates itself (about 30 times per second) to try to figure out where it is, among all the phrases being spoken which one is active at that instant of time, and then highlights it at the bottom and shows the text content superimposed on the video.","This has led to better fluidity in handling the interface and the ability to interact very easily and very quickly on the text stream.","This is the philosophy of all the apps I make: automate as much as possible, while still leaving control, verification and, not least, responsibility to a flesh-and-blood guy.","You see, my applications are born and grow in a fairly almost \"autistic\" way, but then it is really with user testing (and also when I make tutorials) that I discover the limitations and areas where they can be improved."]},{"l":"Text Editor","p":["One of the features of Transcriber that I like best is the text editor, the subtitle editor.","From a purely technical and data structure point of view, each of the scripts corresponds to a different record in the document's \"internal database,\" called the Session.","When working with text, however, for example with Microsoft Word or Pages, what appears in the sheet is a single text that can be edited easily.","I did a lot of work so that text editing would be as similar as possible to that of a traditional word processor, while still allowing for the ability to manage how the texts remain \"attached\" (i.e., synchronized) to the video.","The whole component of transcription, and managing the synchronized texts, was one of the most complex but at the same time also quite elegant things I have ever done.","I tried to make things as simple as possible and as intuitive as possible for the user, while going out of my way to mask any complexities.","If a title is too long, it is highlighted with a red dot which means that, given its length, it would take up too much space in the frame.","The user then has the option of standing anywhere in the text and pressing the ENTER button to wrap, and by wrapping, in a natural way, the subtitle is broken into two different titles while still keeping all the words in sync.","Said like that sounds like a piece of cake, but believe me, this is something non-trivial! And this is also how I have operated with regard to the separation of subtitles while they are being transcribed and generated: trying to isolate sentences or sentence segments (separated by commas, \",\") as much as possible, so that we always have meaningful content to display, without truncated sentences or with subjects being in one subtitle and verbs being in another subtitle."]},{"i":"i-got-a-publisher","l":"I got a publisher!","p":["At the end of 2022 I was contacted by the guys at FxFactory because they were interested in publishing some of my apps on their store, on their marketplace.","This filled me with joy, pride, and also with fear: for the first time I would be playing in the big leagues, and I would have to maintain much higher quality standards; this time I would not be doing everything myself, but I would also have to be accountable to someone else for my work.","Initially we had planned to bring a couple of my most popular apps, such as BeatMark Pro or FCP Diet 2, to this marketplace, adding features and cleaning up the interface.","I, however, proposed that they start with a completely new app, whose name initially was Transcriptor.","I initially met some resistance, partly because such apps already existed, such as the aforementioned Macwhisper.","I then explained the reasons why this new app of mine could be something alternative and provide added and different value than the others.","In concomitance with NAB, where several apps that make use of artificial intelligence to aid production and post production were presented or announced, those in charge of FxFactory were convinced and switched on the green light.","One thing needs to be emphasized: FxFactory is not only a store, a showcase, but those who run it put their faces first and consequently require a level of quality, communication, and even user experience that is far superior to what I had had up to that point.","If I had commercialized Transcriber all by myself, it would probably have come out in some form of its own in late April or early May 2023.","Instead, FxFactory raised my bar higher and higher, trying to reach heights of communication, user interface, functionality, and overall quality level that I was not used to.","And, I have to be honest, I don't think I can thank them enough for making me grow, and making me grow so fast."]},{"l":"Exporting to Final Cut Pro","p":["Initially Transcriber was not supposed to allow exporting subtitles to Final Cut Pro because I already have an application in my catalog that does just that, FCP SRT Importer 2, by the way one of my most successful applications (which means that the gentlemen at Apple and whoever is in charge of managing Final Cut Pro development should ask themselves some questions if so many people need such a basic feature...).","Let's say I didn't want to cannibalize myself, even though I knew Transcriber would be a higher cost application, there would probably be enough of a market for one to buy Transcriber bundled with FCP SRT Importer 2.","But then, again for that Florence job, I realized that the double step: transcribing the subtitles, revising, exporting the subtitles to SRT format, then bringing them back into FCP SRT Importer 2, and finally communicating the whole thing with Final Cut Pro, was really... a big pain in the ass!","In the end I had all the technology, the know-how, why not add this feature to Transcriber as well?","And so I did, in the span of only one day I added all the features that were already in FCP SRT Importer 2 directly inside Transcriber.","It has to be said that, having chosen to make the UI in SwiftUI, creating configuration panels was never very complex, and one could focus more on business logic than on appearance and user interaction.","In short, the app was taking shape the decidedly concrete way."]},{"l":"Multiple SRTs","p":["The work of doctors in Florence has evolved over time, and the client also asked me for the ability to view interviews, but with subtitles translated into various languages.","Nothing could be simpler: after doing the transcription and export in SRT format, I proceeded to have these subtitles translated; and then imported into FCP SRT Importer 2 to make the localized videos in the various languages.","This, however, resulted in a decidedly disrupted workflow where I could not actually see the effect of the translated subtitles without first exporting them, or making a peer comparison between each individual sentence from the original to the translated version.","So it is, in a moment of madness (Alex, for next time, remember not to do this kind of thing again with a product that has not yet been released!) I expanded the underlying model, the data structure, to allow multiple subtitle imports.","Basically now Transcriber allows you to have infinite streams of subtitles, in various languages, and also to show side by side the original and translated sentence.","It may sound like a triviality, but this is really a very powerful feature, especially for those working with \"minor\" languages, for which localization, translation, export, and management of different streams is an integral part of the production and post production process.","Basically, with all this work done under the hood, I had transformed Transcriber from an application that deals with a single link in the localization management chain, into an aggregation center that allows for a global and centralized view of projects, always in synchronization between text and video.","Oh boy, this stuff was getting serious!"]},{"l":"The Dome Factory","p":["In the meantime, we got to the beginning of June 2023, I kept asking to get the application launched, but the publisher kept asking me for more and more refinements and better management of the interface.","They were certainly right, but the timing of these final cleanups and subsequent approval left me with an open project, and every time I used it, which happens pretty much every day, I would come up with little features to add.","As a result, what should have been a \"Minumum Viable Product\" was becoming an increasingly complex application, and of course with the need to handle any bugs I would generate by adding new code."]},{"i":"videos-videos-videos","l":"Videos, videos, videos!","p":["Since I had started to develop a system for synthetic speech of more or less \"sufficient\" quality, I decided to change the way I make promotional videos and this time use a synthetic speaker.","This might be a more or less debatable choice, I am the first to fear very much the \"uncanny valley\" effect, but I believe that the quality level of synthetic voices has reached such a level that, in any case, at least from my point of view, it is preferable to a promotional video made with only overlay text.","So here I made my first promo video.","And, because the application is definitely complex, some things may even seem intuitive, but to understand how the workflow works in my opinion you need to sit down for a moment and understand a little bit what is the best way to operate, I decided to also make some tutorials of increasing complexity, making use of both screen captures and animations made with Adobe After Effects, which is the program I use most in my first job as a video maker.","This time I tried to maintain a distinctly high level of quality, not only in the promo but also for all the side videos, it was a really big effort, maybe it might not look like it, however trying to show things in a quick, effective, clear, understandable way without becoming pompous, is not a child's play...","Find all the videos I made for Transcriber here.","And, in addition, one important thing there is to say: every time I set out to make a tutorial, therefore trying to do things the way any user would do them, I find a lot of mistakes or things that can be improved, so to make a video of a few minutes, it can take me even several days because, in the meantime, I am working on the code and improving the interface or adding features."]},{"l":"The run-up before the jump","p":["By early July 2023, the application had reached a level of stability that FxFactory said was sufficient to be marketed.","I was then asked to create artwork and a minimum description for marketing, as well as a promotional video.","All things I had already prepared, however, small problem: in the promotional video I had made I had used an image taken from a very famous movie.","Nothing you can't see anyway in any kind of promotional material from this same movie, however, the publisher politely asked me to replace it with something else so as to avoid any copyright issues.","Datum done, in one day I revamped the promotional video and made all the art work.","I was basically ready to go."]},{"l":"The

and I noticed because I got the first email notification of successful transaction.","I was finally able to post news of the launch on Twitter with the link to be able to download the app in trial mode (for the record: in the trial version it allows you to transcribe the first 45 seconds of the movie or import subtitles for the first 45 seconds).","I spent months raising expectations about this app on Twitter, to the point where I had probably lost some credibility as well: I felt I was ready to launch in late April, early May, and then instead it was a full two months later...","Was it worth the wait?","From the end users' point of view I don't know, from my point of view?","Heck, yes!","This was the craziest launch ever since I started having this small software development business.","Having a publisher like FxFactory behind me, I achieved in two weeks what I set out to achieve in two years!","This does not mean that I have become rich, this does not mean that the pressure has eased, and after the initial explosion, the values settle down to a more or less quiet regime.","And the first week, but perhaps also the second week, were weeks of great work on my part to improve the things that were missing, add the features that were requested, as well as fix some idiosyncrasies and bugs: I had never been able to test the application with complex languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and I found that syntactic construction and more or less \"special\" characters needed to be handled more accurately.","Let's say that I haven't slept, or slept very little, for about two weeks now..."]},{"i":"and-now","l":"And now?","p":["Now, that this app is in the world, since it is in the hands of so many people, I have discovered so many use cases and

of.","The first weeks, the first months after launch are characterized by a flood of new ideas and suggestions, many of which can be accepted and turned into new features, some of which cannot, because they would meet the needs of too few users or would be difficult to implement...","No app is perfect, no app is complete, software is increasingly something that is constantly evolving and transforming.","Very often I look back and think that many of the programs I have built over the years came about because Apple had not put some functionalities, even very basic ones, directly inside

work with little added creative value.","In the meantime, I'm working on at least two or three other new apps that I'd like to bring to market, tools that can help video makers who do everything

Philip & Gregory have kindly allowed us to release it on FCP Cafe. Thank you!"]},{"l":"Introduction","p":["About ten years ago I wrote an article for KenStone.net called What is XML, and what does it mean for Final Cut Studio users. In that ten years we’ve had a new version of Final Cut Pro with a whole new XML structure, and Premiere Pro CC has added import and export of Final Cut Pro classic XML.","There is a broad ecosystem of apps that depend on XML from Final Cut Pro X or Premiere Pro, many from our company, Intelligent Assistance Software.","Without the ability to round-trip XML it would be up to Apple to implement every single requested feature. We know full well that niche workflows — the type easily supported by XML — take a lot longer to reach the top of the implementation list. Many desirable features will never make it to the main app. An open, well documented, XML interchange format allows third party developers to fill these niches and extend Final Cut Pro X without having to seek permission from anyone."]},{"i":"what-is-xml","l":"What is XML?","p":["It’s likely you’ve heard the term XML and even used some of the workflow or translation apps that it enables, but still aren’t really sure what it is, and how it gets used. That’s not surprising because “XML” is an umbrella term for a way of presenting information that is:","Human and machine readable","Self-describing","When you first look at an XML file, it hardly seems human readable, but it is once you gain a little basic understanding. Most importantly it is readable by software, so Final Cut Pro X can import the XML that describes a Project, Event or Library. Similarly FCP classic and Premiere Pro can import Bins of clips and Projects from the appropriate XML.","That last point is important - from the appropriate XML - because there is no single “XML”. Each type of XML is unique to the application it supports because an XML file describes the data structures of that application.","It should come as no surprise, then that the XML from, or for, Final Cut Pro X is as completely different as Final Cut Pro X is from FCP classic (spoiler alert: there are no tracks in FCPX XML).","In fact, almost the first thing any XML file does is to declare what type of XML it is."]},{"l":"Figure 1","p":["Classic FCP (and Premiere Pro CC) is xmeml:","The modern Final Cut Pro X XML is fcpxml:","Motion .motn file (which is actually XML) is ozml:","These days, the dominant user of xmeml is Premiere Pro CC. For many years now Premiere Pro has imported, and exported, a variation of xmeml. Certainly all development work on our XML translation apps since 2013 has gone to support Premiere Pro’s version of xmeml.","Premiere Pro works with a slightly modified xmeml based on the XML from FCP Classic version 6 — not the latest — that has Adobe specific tags included. Throughout this article we’ll be comparing XML from Final Cut Pro X and from Premiere Pro CC.","The second main attribute — self-describing — is an important benefit we get with XML over other formats like an EDL, or Comma Separated Variables (CSV). With these other data formats we only get the data. It’s up to the user, or software, to know what each element represents."]},{"l":"Figure 2","p":["Here’s some data from an EDL:","With XML each element in the file describes exactly what type of data is going to be presented, as we'll see shortly. In the next section we’ll elaborate on what an element is, and how it fits into Final Cut Pro XML."]},{"i":"whats-inside-xml","l":"What’s inside XML?","p":["If you’ve done any HTML work for the web or other purpose, then you’ll probably notice that XML looks a little familiar. That’s not surprising because they are both Markup Languages (the ‘ML’ in both cases).","For the web we mark up text with a HyperText Markup Language (HTML), which works well for pages of text. But for editing (or motion graphics in Motion) we want to transfer an almost infinite range of different information, which is why the X is for eXtensible. HTML is limited to display options, whereas XML, because it's extensible, does not have limits to the type of data that can be marked up.","Both HTML and XML mark up using tags. HTML marks up blocks of text to tell the browser how to display it. XML marks up blocks of data with tags that tell us what type of information or data is stored.","These markup tags tell us what type of data is stored between the tag ‘open’ and the ‘close’. A simple HTML example would be like this:","There are two sets of tags in this example: the pair of 'p' tags tell the browser to display all the text between the opening p and closing /p tags as a paragraph, and the pair of b /b tags tell the browser to display the word \"beginning\" in bold.","Likewise in an XML file there are tags. but these tags tell the reader or computer what type of information is between the tags. Instead of paragraphs we might have timecode at the start of a Timecode entry, and /timecode at the end of a Timecode entry. Like the b /b tags in the paragraph above, all XML tags can nest as well. This means we can have this piece of XML code that gives keyword and marker details for a Clip (out of a FCP X XML export):","In this example, the keyword tag is “self closing” by the simple use of / inside the last . It also nests data within the tag as attributes. Start, duration and value are attributes for the tag keyword.","It’s a much more efficient structure, which is one of the reasons why fcpxml is so much more concise than xmeml. Expressed the old way without attributes this data would look something like:","XML tags define the type of data that is between the tags. An EDL file, which also carries data about clips and edits (but a much older format) contains only data. Unless you know in advance what each item in each line in the EDL above means, you can't infer it. With XML that data would be explicitly described by being marked up with tags. (An EDL file usually describes the types of data in the first line.)","Each type of XML file customizes the tags for the appropriate data in that file. Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro classic’s XML describes clips (and other items) within a project’s video and audio tracks. Final Cut Pro X’s XML describes clips (and others) within a project’s single primary storyline, with connected clips (and others) and secondary storylines connected to items in the primary storyline. That is why we can’t open XML out of Premiere Pro directly in Final Cut Pro X, or vice versa. They, literally, do not speak the same language.","So it’s important that we know which type of XML file we're talking about and which version. In Figure 1 you can see that we have the type of XML, and also the version number. The version number is also important. Final Cut Pro X version 10.2 can open version 1.5 of fcpxml, but it cannot open version 1.6 from 10.3. (Final Cut Pro X 10.3 allows saving as version 1.5 XML for this reason, and opens older versions of fcpxml.)"]},{"i":"xml-or-aaf","l":"XML or AAF?","p":["As well as Premiere Pro and FCP Classic, there are other applications like Media 100 and Sony Vegas — among others — that support xmeml. There is increasing support for Final Cut Pro X’s fcpxml format other than in the app itself. For example, Atomos recorders only output fcpxml, and Logic Pro X imports fcpxml. Resolve supports both versions for timelines.","The only NLE that supports no version of XML is Avid’s Media Composer. Avid helped develop the ‘open’ Advanced Authoring Format, or AAF, and uses that for it’s Project format on disc.","The primary difference between AAF and XML, beyond the fact that they’re representing different data structures, is that AAF is a binary format that is only machine readable, while XML is presented as plain text, which both machines and people can read. (Maybe you too, by the end of this article.)","Both Premiere Pro CC and Resolve will attempt to translate edited timelines between XML and AAF, and are generally successful with simple timelines, but it’s unlikely effects and transitions will be fully compatible."]},{"i":"lets-get-practical","l":"Let’s get practical","p":["We think it helps to have practical examples that introduce the two types of XML we’re interested in: xmeml (Premiere Pro) and fcpxml (Final Cut Pro X).

These examples are as similar as we could make them.","From both Final Cut Pro X and Premiere Pro you can view XML by exporting an XML file from a Final Cut Pro X Event or Library, or Premiere Pro Project. XML files can be opened in a text editor to view the content.

We’re going to use the exported .xml to find similar information: the file path to the media file, clip frame rate, clip Log Note and Markers:","The clip frame rate comes from a combination of the timebase and ntsc elements. Combined they tell us 30 frames per second but compliant with NTSC standards. We know it as 29.97 fps.","The clip’s Markers are:","The file path to the media is the content of the pathurl tag, and the frame rate is described in the rate element: timebase at 30 frames per second when ntsc is TRUE means 29.97 fps — or more accurately 30,000/1,001 or 60,000/2,002. (If this was 25 fps PAL footage the timebase would be 25 and ntsc would be FALSE.)","The first frame of the media file is 108,418 because this file has timecode and does not start at zero. We’ve also got information about the number of audio channels and the sample rate of the audio.","The first marker has the name“Interview, Michael” and has in and out elements. These numbers represent the relative number of frames from the beginning of the clip, so the first marker starts at the beginning and has a duration of 16,618 - 0 = 16,618 frames which is the end of the clip (yes, markers can have a duration). The first frame of the clip is 108,418, so that’s the frame number where the marker starts.","The Log Note is in the content of the logginginfo element’s lognote child.","The other two markers have an out of -1 which means they only have a single frame at the in point, and the markers are 527 and 1,017 frames respectively from the start of the clip. Markers can optionally have comment text in the comment element.(If this was XML from Final Cut Pro 7 the markers would also have red/green/blue/alpha elements describing the color of the marker, but PPro actually uses FCP6 XML which does not support colored markers.)","To get to the Log Note and Markers we have to skip over descriptions of the audio tracks until we get to this at the bottom of the clip:","To save space, Premiere Pro exports this full file listing only once. Any other time it appears in the XML is a reference back to the full file listing using the unique id attribute, like this:","We set out to find “the file path to the media file, clip frame rate, clip Log Note and Markers”","Wow, that’s a lot of XML and a lot of repetition, but it’s the same information that’s in the asset and format elements in the .fcpxml file. The main difference is that the numbers represent frame counts rather than rational seconds, which makes the math a lot easier.

When you develop an application, your project links to one or more frameworks. For example, iPhone application projects link by default to the Foundation, UIKit, and Core Graphics frameworks. Your code accesses the capabilities of a framework through the application programming interface (API), which is published by the framework through its header files. Because the library is dynamically shared, multiple applications can access the framework code and resources simultaneously. The system loads the code and resources of a framework into memory, as needed, and shares the one copy of a resource among all applications."]},{"l":"History Lesson","p":["Phil Pan writes on Alex4D's Facebook Page:","I worked on that team for five years. There wasn't much work done on merging Shake and FCP. Most of the advanced work done by the core Shake team focused on the Helium renderer, which today is core to Pro Apps today. Shake's genius was how it was ultra-efficient as CPU-only code. Management had little interest in Shake and most resources went to Motion and Aperture; projects that Steve could related to when he wasn't completely absorbed by the iPad, the iPhone and the iTunes business ecosystem. The author of this patent, Christophe Souchard, is a French mathematician who had tons of prior experience at Discreet/Autodesk. He joined Apple when it purchased his Senso technology, which was the first Intel-based library to do advanced image scaling and frame-rate conversion using motion vector estimation. While at Apple, Christophe's skills impressed management enough that his position was labelled \"Applied Magic\", and a veteran aerospace software engineer was hired to perform curation and clerical code management for his inventions. He introduced the team to methods using partial differential equations and while exteremely slow to compute, his next-generation prototypes performed jaw-dropping feats 15 years before similar tools would be introduced by Adobe. None of this work ever came out because Apple had a policy not to release compute-intensive software. Randy Ubillos (father of FCP and close to Steve) wouldn't accept any operation that took longer than a second per frame to render. This relegated Christophe to a research position for a while, until Randy got so impressed that he monopolized Christophe to work on advanced concepts for FCPX. Randy had some clever ideas about shot alignment and automatic editing, and this patent is the result of one of their collaborative projects. Today Christophe works at Unity Technologies doing advanced AR work, and he consults on the side when he has the time. He's recently rumored to have authored the rendering engine for ColorSynth, a complex colour grading plugin for FCPX and Premiere.","Helium was done in Santa Monica by the mad frenchmen team at Apple; Arnaud Hervas, Emmanuel Mogenet and Chrisophe Souchard. Arnaud was the co-founder of Nothing Real, the company that produced Shake. The idea was to do automatic tiled rendering using all available compute resources, so CPU cores and GPU(s). It was a lot trickier than people would think, as math functions would be rounded differently on different resources, and this would affect pixel values. The renderer has to evaluate the render graph to intelligently tile the proper regions-of-interest; i.e. it has to know the size of convolution kernels and all parts of a shader to produce tiles that will later merge properly, and it has to do all of this in real-time. Beautiful work. Emmanuel is now an executive at Google Research in Switzerland. Arnaud is growing tomatoes in Culver City, when he's not working on camera alignement software. Apple could have done a lot more in the high end, but in the last days of Steve, the company shifted its focus on the mass market and mobile devices. It was the right thing to do for all the reasons we know today (the Bottom Line being the most evident), but in so doing it hurt engineering effors in high-end imaging across the world; Adobe was going through a bad patch and the Discreet team at Autodesk was in disarray. The high-end was picked up by The Foundry: Its founder, Bruno Nicoletti (a Discreet alumnus) had the clever idea to acquire Nuke from Digital Domain and he had the skills and industry knowledge to turn it into the work-horse that it's become today. Still, Nuke is a geek's tool and there could have been an opportunity for a more artist-oriented solution in the high-end. This would not be one of Apple's pursuits: After a couple of years of soul-searching it became clear in 2007 that the future of Apple would be the iPhone and that all the Pro Apps stuff was no longer interesting. It survived nonetheless and I'd say that today the spirit of high(ish) end imaging is coming back to Apple. But so is the case at Adobe. In the end, the consumer wins and it's an exciting time to be buying graphics solutions."]},{"l":"Plugins","p":["Internally, Final Cut Pro supports and contains a number of different plugin types and formats:"]},{"l":"Compressor","p":["Contains CompressorKit.bundle- which can also be found in Compressor and Motion - it's basically the Compressor engine."]},{"l":"FCP-DAL","p":["Contains ACD.plugin- a CoreMediaIO plugin that enables the \"A/V Output\" feature in Final Cut Pro.","The CoreMediaIO Device Abstraction Layer (DAL) is analogous to CoreAudio’s Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL).

Let the adventure begin!"]},{"l":"Core Data","p":["Before we dig too deep into the Final Cut Pro library, it's important to understand one of the core technologies Apple uses in Final Cut Pro - Core Data.","Core Data is an object graph and persistence framework provided by Apple in the macOS and iOS operating systems. More than 13 years old now (at the time of writing), Core Data was introduced in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and iOS with iPhone SDK 3.0 and like many parts of macOS, Core Data owes much of its design to an earlier NeXT product, Enterprise Objects Framework (EOF).","You can watch the original 2004 WWDC session on Core Data here.","You can read Apple's official developer documentation on Core Data here.","Core Data is a framework that you use to manage the model layer objects in an application. It provides generalised and automated solutions to common tasks associated with object life cycle and object graph management, including persistence (meaning that, for example, an iPhone App can remember its settings each time the phone is turned off and on again).","It allows data organised by the relational entity–attribute model to be serialised into XML, binary, or SQLite stores. The data can be manipulated using higher level objects representing entities and their relationships. Core Data manages the serialised version.","Core Data can interface directly with SQLite, insulating the developer from the underlying SQL - but it's not a SQL wrapper, and offers a much higher level of abstraction. Instead of writing SQL, you can create complex queries by associating an NSPredicate object with a fetch request. However, because Core Data can use SQLite, it's easy to get confused with the differences between SQLite and Core Data. Remember that Core Data isn’t a database. If you want an Object-relational mapping (O/RM) or SQL wrapper, Core Data is not what you want.","Essentially, Core Data is a model layer technology, that's been designed to help programmers do lots of cool stuff, whilst writing less code. It's a toolkit that allows developers to more easily access and manipulate data. For example, it has built-in undo/redo management, allowing developers to add complex undo/redo functionality to their applications with minimum code.","Even though Core Data is a fantastic framework, there are several drawbacks. These drawbacks are directly related to the nature of the framework and how it works.","Core Data can only do its magic because it keeps the object graph it manages in memory. This means that it can only operate on records once they’re in memory. This is very different from performing a SQL query on a database. If you want to delete thousands of records, Core Data first needs to load each record into memory. It goes without saying that this results in memory and performance issues if done incorrectly.","Another important limitation is the threading model of Core Data. The framework expects to be run on a single thread. Fortunately, Core Data has evolved dramatically over the years and the framework has put various solutions in place to make working with Core Data in a multithreaded environment safer and easier.","For applications that need to manage a complex object graph (i.e. Final Cut Pro), Core Data is a great fit."]},{"l":"DeepSkyLite","p":["Final Cut Pro uses a lot of internal Frameworks, which you can learn more about here.","Within the Flexo Framework, is a framework called DeepSkyLite, which is essentially the \"database engine\" for Final Cut Pro.","Inside the DeepSkyLite Framework is two Compiled Core Data Models:","DSLite_v1.mom","DSLite_v2b1.mom","A .mom file is a binary property list that's NSKeyedArchiver encoded. You can easily open it up in something like BBEdit and have a look, but the easiest and best way to explore a Core Data Model is to just import it back into Xcode.","Here's what Final Cut Pro's model looks like in Xcode:","Patent Screenshot","Interestingly, this model is used for both Final Cut Pro on Mac and Final Cut Pro for iPad."]},{"l":"Reading a DeepSkyLite file","p":["Whilst there are third party tools that can read Core Data database, such as Core Data Lab- unfortunately we can't really use these tools for manipulating Final Cut Pro libraries.","The Core Data Lab developer explains...","To archive and store the mutated data via Core Data, you'll need the same private Apple class.","I'm afraid the only way to mutate the binary data is directly in a SQLite editor.","When using Core Data, your data mutations are validated by the Core Data Object Model. With SQLite you're working low level with nearly no rules, but the end result must still comply to the Core Data Object Model, otherwise the related app can't read the data or crashes.","Loading external libraries is theoretically possible but complicated. I don't know if it is possible in this case, apart from legal issues. Certainly not allowed for apps that you want to sell in the App Store.","So basically, there's no easy way to modify Core Data directly - but because DeepSkyLite is stored in a SQLite store, you can just use regular SQLite tools.","You can still however open them up in Core Data Lab:","You just don't have a lot of easy control to view and modify the binary blobs of data.","However, you can use DB Browser for SQLite to open, read and even manipulate DeepSkyLite data.","However, tread VERY carefully, as it's very easy to make a mistake and corrupt a DeepSkyLite file.","Simply open the .flexolibrary and .fcpevent files from within your from Final Cut Pro Library bundle in DB Browser for SQLite:"]},{"l":"Discuss this page"}],[{"l":"Patents","p":["Alex4D has a great blog post on the Magnetic Timeline patent (Media-editing application with media clips grouping capabilities) here.","The actual patent can be found here.","Here's one of the screenshots from the patent:"]},{"l":"Patents on Google Patents","p":["...it's a deep rabbit hole, enjoy!","Accelerator handles","Adjustment of color values for optimized image processing","Anchor point in media","Application for designing journals","Applying a Realistic Artistic Texture to Images","Associating keywords to media","Auto stacking of related images","Automatic generation of multi-camera media clips","Boolean Search User Interface","Christophe Souchard","Colleen Pendergast","Color adjustors for color segments","Context aware user interface for image editing","Context based adaptive image resampling","Display of multiple images","Edit to tape","Estimating and removing lens distortion from scenes","Fanning user interface control for medium editing application","Fanning user interface controls for a media editing application","Fast creation of video segments","Here's a small collection of Final Cut Pro related patents:","Import directly into specified folders and user interface","Interactive image thumbnails","Ken Matsuda","Media-editing application with media clips grouping capabilities","Method and apparatus for color correction","Method and apparatus for dynamically resizing windows","Method and interface for converting images to grayscale","Modified media presentation during scrubbing","Navigating Image Presentations","Navigation within a large computer file","Optimizing the Execution of Media Processing Routines Using a List of Routine Identifiers","Previewing effects applicable to digital media content","Producing Smooth Motion Compensated Frames by Combining Multiple Interpolation Results","Publishing Media Content to Virtual Movie Theatres","Randy Ubillos","Regular sampling and presentation of continuous media stream","Retiming media presentations","Rolling shutter distortion correction","Select drag and drop operations on video thumbnails across clip boundaries","Smoothing and/or locking operations in video editing","Spatial and temporal alignment of video sequences","Spatial conform operation for a media-editing application","Split edits","Synchronizing video with audio beats","Techniques for displaying digital images on a display","Two-dimensional timeline display of media items","Unified slider control for modifying multiple image properties","User interface tools for selectively applying effects to image","User interfaces for editing video clips","Video and audio waveform user interface","Video format for digital video recorder","Viewing digital images on a display using a virtual loupe","Viewing digital images using a floating controller","Visual presentation composition","Want to contribute?

This way, everyone keeps the code clean and organized, and you have a record of who added what and when.","So, in simple terms, a pull request is a way of proposing changes to a shared project and allowing others to review and approve those changes before they're added."]},{"l":"Navigating GitHub","p":["For example, each time you make a pull request, our fancy GitHub Action does the following:","However, to make sure the website is super easy to update and improve, we use GitHub Actions to \"do stuff\" to our markdown files whenever we submit a pull request.","Looks at all the individual Asset Management in this folder, and generates an alphabetical list of them for the Asset Management page.","Looks at all the individual Camera Formats in this folder, and generates an alphabetical list of them for the Camera Formats page.","Looks at all the individual FAQ in this folder, and generates an alphabetical list of them for the FAQ page.","Looks at all the individual FxPlug in this folder, and generates an alphabetical list of them for the FxPlug page.","Looks at all the individual Motion Templates in this folder, and generates an alphabetical list of them for the Motion Templates page.","Looks at all the individual News item in this folder, and generates an alphabetical list of them for the Latest News page.","Looks at all the individual Plugins in this folder, and generates an alphabetical list of them for the Plugins page.","Looks at all the individual Sponsors in this folder, and uses them on the Latest News page.","Looks at all the individual Tools & Frameworks in this folder, and generates an alphabetical list of them for the Tools & Frameworks page.","Looks at all the individual Tools in this folder, and generates an alphabetical list of them for the Tools page.","Looks at all the individual Workflow Extensions in this folder, and generates an alphabetical list of them for the Workflow Extensions page.","Looks at all the Latest News items and generates an RSS feed","This means, if you want to add a Tool, Motion Template, Workflow Extension, News item, etc. you can just add a new markdown file in that folder, and once the pull request is approved, everything will be updated automagically.","To create the fastest website possible, FCP Cafe is what's called a \"static site\". It just a collection of HTML files in a folder - nothing fancy."]},{"l":"How to Edit Pages","p":["Edit this file","If changes are required, they'll add comments within the pull request.","If you have questions, you can ask them on the Discussions board.","If you're modifying a list of Tools or Workflow Extensions, everything should be sorted in alphabetical order.","If you're not already registered with GitHub, create a free account.","Once done click Commit changes. You can enter a message and description for the commit. Press Commit changes again.","There's an Edit this page on GitHub link at the bottom of every page.","This will send your changes to the FCP Cafe team to review and approve.","To make changes simply click the little pencil Edit this file button.","You can add a title and detailed description to the pull request. Once you're done click Create pull request.","You can also email us here: support@latenitefilms.com","You can edit the contents of this page by clicking the link at the bottom of this page.","You can learn more about basic formatting here.","You can then make changes in the text editor using the Markdown syntax. Copying and pasting existing syntax is the best way to get started.","You should make sure all external links open in a new tab/window (edit this page to see how that works).","You will now be presented with a Open a pull request page."]},{"l":"GitHub Web-based Editor","p":["You can use the github.dev web-based editor to edit files and commit your changes.","Simply replace the .com with .dev on any GitHub URL.","For example to edit this page you can use:","You can learn more here."]},{"l":"External Links","p":["All external links should open in a new tab/window.","This is handled automatically by Retype."]},{"l":"Embedded Videos","p":["To keep that site as fast as possible, and free from tracking/cookies, we've decided not to allow embedded videos.","Instead, we'll be posting the Video Thumbnail as a clickable link to the video.","Here's an example of how this looks in Markdown:","You can use this website for download YouTube Thumbnails."]},{"l":"Images","p":["All images should be stored within the /docs/static/ folder on GitHub.","You can find it here."]},{"l":"GitHub Desktop","p":["You can also use GitHub Desktop to essentially \"clone\" the entire FCP Cafe website to your local machine.","You can then make changes locally, and once done, submit a pull request back to the main GitHub repository.","You can download GitHub Desktop here.","You can then use a text editor like BBEdit to edit your Markdown files on your Mac."]},{"l":"Powered by Retype","p":["FCP Cafe is powered by Retype and hosted on CloudFlare Pages.","We've VERY thankful for all the support Retype has given us!","The comments feature at the bottom of every page is powered by giscus."]},{"l":"Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct"},{"l":"Our Pledge","p":["We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.","We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community."]},{"l":"Our Standards","p":["Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:","Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people","Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences","Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback","Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience","Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community","Examples of unacceptable behavior include:","The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind","Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks","Public or private harassment","Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission","Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting"]},{"l":"Enforcement Responsibilities","p":["Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.","Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate."]},{"l":"Scope","p":["This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
