Two things that jumped out at me watching this mini keynote:

- They casually threw out a reference to an upcoming version of Final Cut Pro that will have AI generated auto caption feature;
- When they listed who the Mac mini is perfect for they did not mention video editors, even though they said M4 Pro was basically twice as fast as M2 Pro, and has 20 GPU cores. Seems like it would be plenty capable compared to my 2020 M1 13" MBP

The Verge · Watch Apple show off the M4 Mac Mini in its reveal videoBy Emma Roth

Christ today's brutal dealing w FCPX. It just struggles to render out this 36 minute timeline. Half a dozen 20min failed attempts, then finally decided to try to render in pieces, which got me most of the way there… Every time I open the project it has to re-render denoising which takes forever. Don't know why it doesn't hold onto the render files between sessions... now I'm trying to render out individual audio roles and it's only completing the process half the time🤬
#postchat #VideoProduction

I’ve just moved servers, so figured I should write a new #introduction post!

I’m Rowan and I run @southpointfilms – a #VideoProduction and #LiveStreaming company based in #Southampton, UK.

I’ve enjoyed using Mastodon to meet people in the same / similar industries (e.g. #PostChat), or who use the same tools (e.g. #FinalCutPro and Apple platforms).

If you’re interested in this sort of technology, and are looking for another unashamed nerd to talk with, let’s connect!

Very curious how this will land, especially among the movie folk. I always feel like the odd one out staying, but it’s part of the dang experience!

When the movie's over, do you stay to watch the credits?

(Pls boost so we can get some more datapoints)

Professional film / broadcast / video editors, this is the new Mac config I’d recommend to everyone.

• Mac Studio M2 Max (base CPU/GPU)
• 64GB RAM
• 2TB SSD
• $2999

If you want more, go for it! No arguments from me.

But if you’re considering less, I wouldn’t recommend it. (Unless you’re looking at the M1 equivalent of this config, that’s probably cool too.) #PostChat
