Hello,
Looks like there is no news around the aputure 600D, it was aimed to be released at Q1 2020. Is this another victim of covid-19? Anybody got some news about this?
Cheers

Yes, the organizing features, keywords, show used media, favorites, rejected etc... are a sleeper features.

Sleeper typically means under the radar, or a good thing that not enough people talk about.

 

I hope this is a sign that Apple is going to give FCPX some updates and new features. I know it’s not full featured or as good as something like DaVinci but I just can’t switch. It feels like home after so many years. It also has had solid performance and has maybe crashed on me a handful of times in the past 4 years.
I bought FCPX on a student discount special. For $199 I got FCPX, Motion, Logic X, and Compressor. It was a great bargain. No stupid subscription costs.
It could use some quality of life features that would improve its use:

A neural engine that will speed up, and maybe even mesh with their accelerator cards, things like up-scaling, tracking, color matching etc...
Built-in tracker to simplify masking in video. The tracker could be used for so many things as well (beauty mode for tracking a face, etc...)
A more advanced stabilizer.
More intuitive audio controls.
Better integration with Apple Motion.
Get rid of the cheesy effects and transitions and replace them with well-know effects and film orientated, low key ,transitions that can speed up workflows.
Enhanced Performance with Mac Hardware! Go back to your roots. Give me something special. Integrated accelerating chips (a la T2) that give me edge when editing on an expensive 16” MacBook Pro or IMac Pro.
If I was Apple I would definitely rip out the A13 Bionic Chip and repurpose it’s neural engine accelerator stick it in a Apple MacBook Pro. Makes so much bloody sense.

Thanks for the response. I finally used DaVinci Resolve because $299 FCPX is a relatively big cost for me.  😆

If you have a Mac and are going to do quick turn around stuff then FCPX is great. For me that's it's strong point. I used Premiere years ago but I always found it slow compared to FC on my Macs. I'm starting to try a few edits with Resolve and I can see it will be great for more complicated projects (docs etc). But I'm sticking with FCPX for all my quick corporate stuff.

I used Premiere Pro for 5 years, recently had the chance to try Final Cut Pro X this year at school.
Even though I hate Apple I gave it a fair chance. Safe to say i'll be sticking with Resolve Studio. 

So does mine, unfortunately..
I can't really say that it has evolved - I hadn't used it at its beginnings - but it's very reliable now.
My workflow is: I dump all the footage into my PC, open Resolve, import all the media and click 'Generate Optimized Media'.
After a while (in my case it usually lasts twice the length of the footage) it's ready to use - I can smoothly operate on 4K 400mbps H265 files.
This video is quite useful and thoroughly explains all the features that can speed up your video editing:
 

DaVinci Resolve is superb, there's nothing I miss from Premiere.
It's stable, power-efficient and ticks all the boxes - you can do everything in it, including editing, color grading, sound designing and VFX.

I'd like to hear more about Fast Cinema DNG and the Rec 2020 results in ProRes.
I find grading LOG a lot easier than DNG.
Smaller file sizes, faster editing, more fluid playback, less demanding on the system, yet pretty much identical image quality.
RAW is a great recording format because nothing is sacrificed.
Then you can throw the most powerful image processor you've got behind it - your PC - and come up with creamy 10bit ProRes 4444.
Back when I had a Blackmagic camera, I used to shoot ProRes 9 times out of 10 rather than RAW.
RAW is a great way to get LOG out of the Sigma Fp whilst it lacks it in-camera too.
But ProRes is what I want to edit and grade.
