![]() No word on FCPX, but rather frustratingly, Resolve has been the poster boy.Ĥ) VR It is no secret that VR will come to FCPX. Although some FCPX plugins have already been written to use Metal 1, this has the capacity for faster rendering times and support for external GPUs. As FCPX uses a lot of the macOS itself, it would be a fair bet to say that the next version just might support H.265 import and export.ģ) Metal 2 A new technology for the GPU. So with all the necessary warnings and caveats out of the way, what can we expect from High Sierra?ġ) AFPS is a faster new 64bit file system that is designed to work with SSDsĢ) HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding, also known as H.265) This will give a 40% file size reduction for the same equality video. If you are trying to upgrade from El Capitan or even Yosemite, it's not a one click operation, you will have to jump through sequential updates. (5GB) The El Capitan version is no longer on there. More than once we have had to go begging to see if anybody has had a copy of an old OS, so download while you can. Today we downloaded a copy of Sierra from the Mac App Store to file away on a hard disk. It is always good practice to have a copy of the previous OS handy. You can then use those through SendToX (was original called 7toX) to get the timelines into Final Cut Pro X.ĭo you have a Fusion Drive on your Mac? Not applicable with SSD MacBook Pros or MacBooks, but if you are running an iMac then you might be in for more pain as the Beta versions did not support Fusion Drives with the new APFS (filesystem)ĭetails on how to handle High Sierra with a Fusion Drive (from the Beta Test notes.) ![]() Make sure that you have saved the XMLs out of any project you need. It has been well publicised that Final Cut Pro 7 will not run on High Sierra. Make a list of what is installed on your Mac and then tick off each one when you find it has High Sierra compatibility or if there is a new version for download. Think across the board from card reader drivers to plugins. The reports of High Sierra betas and FCPX have been good, but from our experience it is always the little drivers and extensions that you've forgotten about that don't get updated immediately. Or alternatively do a clone of your hard drive with Carbon copy Cloner or Chronosync. If the answer to the first one is no and/or either of the second two is a yes then don't.Ĭheck your Time Machine backup is still working as it can be paused with a full backup disk. ![]() Have you got any old FCP7 projects that you need to use?.Have you done a full backup? (having restored a Mac from a Time Machine backup recently it is a pretty amazing tool to use).Let's start with the fairly obvious questions. We all like upgrades, are there any things we should know first? (Slight hint-yes) Later on in the day (for those of us on the east of the puddle) we will see the availability of the latest macOS High Sierra.
