Of course, Apple would argue that it has its own ecosystem of ProRes to work in, as detailed in our handy "street names" chart. Considering how young DNxHR is (and how vital it is to the Media Composer workflow), this is very bold on Apple's part. But notice Apple doesn't say that Final Cut won't support Cineform and DNxHR, but that the entire MacOS won't support Cineform and DNxHR.
FINAL CUT PRO REVIEWS 2018 PRO
Rumors seem to point towards the likelihood that Apple is developing Final Cut Pro to be able to run equally well on MacOS and iOS, allowing users to move seamlessly back and forth, which will require more limited codecs. The notice doesn't say which MacOS release won't support these formats, and it doesn't make a tremendous amount of sense why some older formats (HDV, a terrible format that should never have existed in the first place, for instance) aren't on the deprecated list while the popular DNxHR is. It's unclear as to why Apple is making this move (or even when). It's much more likely that filmmakers with large Cinform or DNx libraries (or native HDCAM-SR, though those are likely transcoded to something lighter already) will have to go back and transcode all of that footage afresh into ProRes then reconform it in order to keep working. With apps like Resolve that frequently require newer versions of MacOS, not upgrading can cut you out of useful features and workflows. While many filmmakers deliberately avoid updating their OS to avoid issues like this (I know more than one filmmaker still running MacOS 10.8.5, or really OS X 10.8.5), that doesn't work for some. That is just not realistic for many filmmakers.ĭocumentary projects will frequently be edited, using legacy footage, for years. On top of HDCAM-SR, if you shoot Cineform with your GoPro or use DNxHR, you might be facing some uphill battles with not only Final Cut, but also all of MacOS, in a future release.Īpple's support document is helpful, but a little simplistic in that it recommends simply wrapping up any projects you're currently working on before upgrading to the next OS.
FINAL CUT PRO REVIEWS 2018 FULL
Apple has put out a full support note giving more information and context to help filmmakers through the process.
With the latest release of Final Cut Pro, 10.4.4, certain users of older video formats such as HDCAM-SR might have seen a warning message that their video formats, while currently supported, won't be supported under future releases of MacOS.
Users installing the newest refresh of Final Cut Pro might have seen a warning that their media won't be supported in the future.
