by Giorgio Palazzi 3 weeks ago

Giorgio Palazzi "It was when I tried to lock myself to music FCPX felt like a cold bath." FCP X tries to keep most things in "local sync", such as sound effects with the clip they were attached to. T

The short answer is that FCP X's Keyer now works just like Motion 5's Keyer, with many more options for tricky keys.
Is FCPX worth it now with the new update?

So now that FCPX finally has multiclip (and an awesome one from what I have seen), as well as some other features like a new chroma keyer and 7toX plugin, is FCPX worth getting now ===================

In the keyboard customisation window, you can assign a key to a command to copy the colour correction from one clip back, two clips back, or three clips back. Could be handy to avoid copy pasting. I h
