Available today as a free update from the Mac App Store, Final Cut Pro X v10.0.3 also includes a beta of broadcast monitoring that supports Thunderbolt devices as well as PCIe cards. http://www.sohoeditors.com/news_item.asp?p=75 Over the last few months there have been a lot of discussions around the suitability of Final Cut Pro X for Professionals, what may have been the case when it was launched back in June 2011 is certainly not the same today! Soho Editors Training will be running a series of seminars at BVE that will dispel the myths and show the next generation of editing tools totally immersed in the professionals workflows. http://www.sohoeditors.com/news_item.asp?p=74 Yanobox launch 'Moods' a colour corrector plugin for FCPX with a 'Heads up Display' This is a unique colour correction plugin from the people who bought you Motype and Nodes. Now you can colour correct in FCPX without taking your eyes off the viewer! So what makes Moods different from all the other colour correction plugins and methods out there? Six circles are superimposed over your footage and you can move virtual controls on each which will then adjust the look. You get onscreen controls of Desaturate/Silver/Contrast, Exposure/Gamma, 3 way colour balance of shadows/mids/highlights and a wheel for washing the shadows with a colour. http://www.sohoeditors.com/news_item.asp?p=72 Soho Editors Training (SET) partner with International Colorist Academy (ICA) to deliver Blackmagic Designs DaVinci Resolve Courses in London. http://www.sohoeditors.com/news_item.asp?p=73 DaVinci Resolve Lite - Free The free DaVinci Resolve Lite includes the same high quality processing as the full DaVinci Resolve, however it limits projects to SD and HD resolutions, unlimited color correction nodes, a single processing GPU and a single RED rocket card. http://www.sohoeditors.com/news_item.asp?p=70 Final Cut Pro X owners, there's an update waiting for you today.

A more permanent solution will be put in place very soon. All training or agency enquires should be sent to editors@sohoeditors.com of training@sohoeditorstraining.com respectively. Sorry for any inconvenience that may be caused during this transition. Best regards Brian Cantwell Managing Director, Worldwide. http://www.sohoeditors.com/news_item.asp?p=67 If you look at some of the reactions to FCPX on the web anyone would imagine that Apple had just killed the golden goose and replaced it with a dysfunctional turkey. There were and still are shouts like "I want my tracks back" and "Where is my XML import capability from FCP 7 and my 'send to' Motion functionality?" I believe that the decision to write off FCPX may well be a shortsighted and misguided call. FCPX is a totally new approach to the task of editing and one that I believe is far more 'fit for purpose' than its predecessor in a lot of critical ways.
