As a Final Cut Pro user from the get go, I'm wondering when apple will offer the native H265 capability.
Now that Adobe Premier is offering native H265 support, it's tough not to give their product a serious look.
Anyone hear anything on the H265 FCPX support front?
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
I got Color Finale when it came out... not impress. It's mainly for the developer to sell his LUTs and trainings. Why not just download the free version DaVinci Resolve and do your CC from there. (You can round trip from FCPX to Resolve and back to FCPX.) I've never understood why people spend $$$ on a camera so they can shoot raw or (s)log and through a (crappy) LUT on it and be done.
PProbably because Resolve is really buggy and likes to crash. LUTs are starting points unless you"re a slave to overused and mindless looks. I think Finale puts a lot of controls in the software that are very strong like his color vectors.
FaceTime uses h.265. When YouTube starts to use it Apple might come around. But then again YouTube supports 8k uploads and playback.
Doesn't seem to work on Sierra though. 😟
Do your clients require H.265 delivery?
No they don't but importing camera files with h265 makes the process a lot harder. Need to transcode to a different format before going in to final cut which adds time and loss in quality.
Just a small correction: it is not up to FCP X to support h265 or not. It is up to AV Foundation, the underlying framework. Maybe I'm being pedantic but just to set the record straight.
