Gotta say, the new clip rename feature is one more thing that I can check off my list of “Avid does it, why not FC?” This is so awesome!

Thanks for catching it. I got so swept up in all the bigger, sexier features that I completely missed it.

The new Studio is simply amazing. I was fortunate enough to get a private demo from Apple. I don’t impress easily, but this blew me away! I cannot wait to add it to my kit. I will be able to do so much more for my clients with my Final Cut than the Avids I use around town. Very exciting indeed.

If you guys get any more info on the “smaller improvements” please post them for those of us who couldn’t make it out this year. Color and 3D Motion and mixed timelines are great but we all know there are lots of those little things than needed addressing and since the Sunday event didn’t really touch on any of them I think a lot of people are worried that a lot of those nagging issues are going to be fixed…and they NEED to be fixed.

Excellent idea for a site, Martin.

Yes, I too would be interested in hearing about these so-called “smaller” improvements. I was blown away by the demos of Motion and Color … but rather underwhelmed as far as some long-standing, nitty-gritty issues being addressed in FCP6. Seemed a little disappointing after a two-year wait. But I haven’t gotten much hands-on time, so I’m sure there are things I overlooked.

[…] some of the more important questions (at least in my mind) behind Final Cut Pro 6 in a post called Behind the Headlines. We all know what the most flashy features are but I want to know what they have fixed under the […]

I was hoping for a subtitle (caption) solution, where you don’t have to change each instance in the timeline, when you decide on another font or size. And it should export to standard caption formats easily, especially exchange with DVD Studio. Is there anything like this in FCP6?

Any changes to Time ReMapping Martin?
This is probably the one thing that still causes me some grief.
Especially when using the Media Manager.

The subtitle/caption thing is integrated into FCP6 via Motion templates. You can now work on your titles inside FCP6 and make universal changes to all instances of the titles at once, or just one, depending on what you require.

There’s also now some lovely looking optical flow slow mo options. I haven’t seen them for myself in real life yet, but the little bits I have seen look like a bit imporvement on the time remaps we have today.
