RED AND FCPX
With the release of Final Cut Pro X, many were anticipating that there would be NATIVE FULL RED R3D integration in the new software.

The purpose of this tutorial is to help you figure out how you might be able to incorporate footage captured with RED cameras into a project you are editing in FCPX.

FCPX - Using Match EQ in Final Cut Pro X
Play Video
Match EQ is a welcome addition to the audio functionality in Final Cut Pro X. Adopted from Logic Pro, this tool is as easy to use as it is powerful. While Soundtrack Pro provided a similar function, this new implementation in FCPX has more options. If you aren't obtaining your desired results using the automated match, you can delve in deeper to get the custom results you are looking for.

FCPX: Why We Can't Use Final Cut Pro X at Our Companies
After a day of reading the FCP and FCPX forums, tweeting, and scanning the blogosphere, two COW leaders had a lot to talk about. Rich and Walter are not casual Final Cut Pro users... they've used it since version 1 and literally built their businesses using Apple tools. For them, today was the end of an era (Final Cut Studio and Final Cut Server were removed from sale). While both hope for the future, they each have strong opinions why they can't implement Final Cut Pro X into their postproduction facilities as it stands at release.
