What'd you guys think of this new 10.8 update? Hot or not?

[ANDJVisuals]

The only missing feature was the Auto-Caption 😫

[TheFinalCutBro]

Dude that music track looks so good now that you added those FX to it. The color grading was spot on.

[iamsleepy]

The Enhance Light and Color option is actually insanely good and if you hold up a color checker card during a recording, the enhance feature will use it to color balance your footage. It's so good that I only have to do a few tweaks after to get my desired look.

[HiMadeMukbang]

the app freeze when I try to crop/trim video and had to force quit the app after updated to 10.8. Anyone experince this too ?

[innerchie]

Glad to see their doing updates, minor but at least it's something. Thanks for the updates! I would have never known, I'm currently editing right now and just took a break and saw your video haha

The slow motion and effects transfer is awesome for my projects. Thanks for recapping these for us.

[DillionMegida]

The AI Slow Motion feature is definitely going to be my favorite. My camera allows me to shoot in 4k but it's limited at 24fps, so if I want slow-mo, I always have to lower to 1080p...This is definitely going to help me with my high resolution videos with slow-mo intact sheeeeshhh

Thanks for sharing

[CubanRider]

Thanks for breaking these down for us, the AI slow-mo is so good to have!

[Brad_West]

Damn dude! Great breakdown! I love the AI Slow Motion feature. That's my favorite new feature! 😄🙌🏼

[ScottUhlMusic]

Wow, no more Paste Attributes for me! Thanks for sharing man 🤘

[judsonbertoch]

I learned from your course...If I want to try "Enhance Light and Color" - I'm not sure where to place that in the vertical stack - above or below the Rec 709? (since it covers several of the corrections/adjustments both above and below the Rec 709). Thoughts?

[EddyKruissink]

All the big names in your example video, nice!!

[ksnovember]

Hands down best coverage of the new update 🙌

@Apple Other lacking Features of Final Cut Pro 10.8:
- Spatial Conform needs "Pixel Coloring Option" for "nearest neighbor", "bilinear", "cubic, " "Catmull-Rom, " etc, and "Apple MetalFX". Default is only bilinear and that's NOT good!!!
- Each video track could have an "effect start stop" within the clip so as to not always apply the effect filter.
- More Video Effects need "ease in/out, Accel, decel, Constant, etc" options in the video keyframe editor.
- Adjustment Layer MUST be included as a default title in FCP, not just 3rd party.
- FCP Audio Unit for noise, sine wave, PWM.... Currently a "TEST AUDIO UNIT" only for Logic.
- Audio Units that Generate sound shouldn't require an existing audio file to overwrite.
- Unified audio processing, eg There should be a Master audio channel and master audio chain for Audio Effects.
- Better Video zoom in/out, to match the control/feel of Motion "zoom in/out" of the video.

The new slow mo update is incredible. A lot of my footage on my new film was shot on 24fps, sections where I forgot to switch to 60fps for slow. I just tried the new update. Jesus, it's super smooth on 24fps! Favourite update!

[matthewTobrien]

TEMPERATURE!!!” 😂 Love the humor, friend. And that’s a weird glitch with dragging effects to the Viewer. Mine’s been working fine so far…

[ScottAlanMillerVlog]

Starting to get crashes now that I'm using it quite a bit. And some bugs, like some media unable to load that was working pre-crash.

[CollingFilms]

great video as usual! updated to 10.8, but that super slow motion feature isn't on there. any idea why?

[DavidListenMentalHealth]

Awesome. Thanks Dylan for the update and explanation. I'm gonna have a look....
