FCP 10.0.4 update out

That's very welcome, Tom.

Just updating my events etc at the moment (there's a lot of them) so I've not tried it yet but from the description, there seems to be a lot of useful stuff in '4'.

For those of us using Red Giant Software plug-ins 10.0.4 apparently breaks the preview functionality for Magic Bullet Looks and other plugins.

I guess and hope Red Giant Software will get a fix for this soon.

A bit to late for me, since I've already updated but haven't gotten around to check it this out properly for myself yet.

There are also reports that Genarts plugins have been affected but I cannot confirm that as I don't have them.

I found the rendering is much much slower. Pretty much unusable. Glad I moved to Adobe Premiere.

Sorry to see that the update seems not to have fixed the custom clip name with counter feature which went wrong with 10.0.3. It seems so practical to batch rename clips with a counter number attached. Does anyone else care about this?

Ooops.... this is going to hack the Pros off even more... when you create a new event, there's an additional "Import iMovie Event" in the browser.... pretty sure I didn't see that before!

That's been there since day one. Always been three import buttons in the event window.

That was one of the many thing the pros objected to back last June..

You could import iMovie projects but not FCP 7 ones, which to them was further proof that FCP X was not a pro-app.

Tom, Ian, that's really odd.... I know it was always a menu item, but I've never seen it before last night. I went to check something this morning, and it's gone again!! How on earth did I get that in the events browser last night and yet can't see it now? I thought I was going senile when you said it had always been there.... how could you miss it? It really was "in your face"!! And now it's "back to normal" for me this morning! Weird.

What happens if you choose File > Import from the menu? Any options?

Mish, yep, they've always been there (iMovie Event / Project) but I have never seen the massive icon in the event browser before. It was like being hit in the head with a shovel when I saw it last night.... and now it's gone again!

Not to worry then. 😉

I'm glad I can't see it.... it looked naff! No wonder the Pros were upset 😀

Update here not available - is it only in english at the moment? ...My version would be german...
