More on Final Cut Pro 6
By S Simmons. Filed in Editing |
Avid2FCP has given us another helpful post on what’s new in Apple’s upcoming Final Cut Pro 6. It says the info was generated “various discussions at the Apple booth.” Here are a few that caught my eye:
 Output of HDV sequence to DV over firewire
This is quite big news and will be very welcome for some editors. The sequence stays as HDV but the video output is transcoded to DV in real time for SD monitoring.
That is a great addition as my bet would be that most people using HDV don’t have a hi-def card and/or monitor.
Reveal Master Clip
If the master clip doesn’t exist in the project containing the current sequence then FCP6 asks whether it should create a master clip.
A tiny step in the direction of better media management but from everything I gathered about FCP 6 it is still has long way to go.
Improved OMF Export
Now supports export of clip level and pan data.
Now if only they would add the ability to output and OMF without the media embeded.
