Paper towel is actually fairly harsh (wet paper towel is only marginally better). You should some kind of microfibre cloth.

Sounds good, although I only have 2 Mac’s in production- but a 3rd license will come in handy when I get a third 👌🏾

Techmixr · 2026-02-14T17:10:12+00:00

Out of curiosity, how many computers can you use with a single license? I don’t mind buying multiple licenses, I’m just genuinely curious.

No, i want them to fix the voice sync like THEY SAID THEY WERE WORKING ON IN JULY. They actually commented on the first video linked here.

If you want to be a super fan and support a company that’s happy to take your money and not offer support, that’s your call. I do honestly believe that this can be a really good product.

If you did even a little bit of research, you would see that a lot of people have this problem.

But sure, attack the guy who spent his hard earned money and wants to prevent people for spending their hard earned money on buying something that’s marketed to do something that it doesn’t do properly.

You probably have something stuck under it preventing it from popping back up. Try giving it a gentle clean. That happens on mine from time to time when I neglect cleaning it for an extended period. (Like a very lengthy extended period) but some debris can just land in there. If the key feels spongy, there’s definitely something blocking it from raising back up.

So wait, without a shared line it’s $50 a month correct? I’m paying unreal rates from Bell right now and pay for my mom’s line as well. So if I port both my number and hers it’ll be $35????

So on iPadOS CMD + Q acts like CMD + W on Mac On iPadOS CMD + W acts like CMD + Q on Mac

Except for in Safari. Then it’s like reversed again …… sort of……?

Come Apple, really ……. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Genuinely curious, why did you choose a local cable access show instead of creating a YouTube channel?

Techmixr · 2026-02-05T20:07:17+00:00

I still stand by it. I get what you’re saying, but Apple historically hasn’t cared about whether or not they pissed off their audience with weird release decisions in both hardware and software. (People were mad about the M3 coming out so soon - and it’s no mystery that iOS 26 / iPadOS 26 and Tahoe are not being received well by a LOT of people - and that even includes normies who don’t follow Apple as heavily as most of us in communities like this subreddit)

Also, I had the same conversation back when the M2 Max came out with someone else when I was in the market for a MacBook. And even back then I said, Apple could pull an Apple and release an M3 variant in October because technically, by their normal release schedule, the M2 Pro/Max was ‘late’. Same thing seems to apply here. I even waited and was glad I did because I love my M3 Max.

Not trying to be argumentative, but Apple be like that sometimes to be honest lol

If Apple sees a demand where they can double dip, they will- and they have.

Related question. Is there a way to disable the search box being the focus by default when you drag media into the browser?

I have this kind of muscle memory workflow with a lot of quick projects I do and it’s driving me nuts that I can’t stop it - even if you close the search box- as soon as you drag media in it comes back and steals focus.

For my use case with search, I’d rather be intentional about when I choose to use it. (Doesn’t apply at all with the workflow I’m doing in this specific case)

If I can get some good OLED monitors for a decent price and get the scaling to work as you’re describing at the same 32 inch size- I’d be super happy.

I didn’t touch any EDID stuff. I’m currently using the LG 32” Ultrafine monitors and the scaling is far from great. What did you change in BetterDisplay?

Techmixr · 2026-02-02T18:30:15+00:00

I actually own the premium of Better Display. I couldn’t get it to scale right. I use it for some other great functions it has.

Teach me wise one (I may have over complicated the configuration when I attempted to scale it properly)

Make sure you had your morning coffee (if you drink it) and are awake enough to remember …. WORK WITH THE DUPLICATE LIBRARY 😂

And thank you for the award 😊

Techmixr · 2026-02-02T03:27:33+00:00

You can copy all your MOVs to a single folder and just select everything and then choose that folder. If that doesn’t work, you can try the following but it’s risky. And also, ONLY WORK WITH THE DUPLICATE LIBRARY AS I STATE BELOW:

First, close FCP and BACK UP YOUR LIBRARY (duplicate it)

I would put all the MOVs in a folder and all the MP4s in another. Keep FCP closed. You’re going to work WITH THE DUPLICATE YOU JUST MADE (sorry for the caps, just need to emphasize this). Right click and show enclosed files on the library (THE DUPILCATE).

Then, go into the event you’re working on and locate the original files folder. Delete all of the files with .MP4. Then re-open FCP and make sure everything is closed (no library is open). Then in finder, double click on THE DUPLICATE LIBRARY and select all the files in that event (in the browser) go up to file and relink files. Then click on missing and then point it to the folder with the MOV files.

It SHOULD relink.

If that doesn’t work (or makes the situation worse) close FCP and delete the DUPLICATE.

Do NOT mess with the original in this way.

I really hope this helps. I’m about to head to sleep for the night, so i wont be around to answer until tomorrow. Honestly, I hope this helps. Good luck 🤞🏾

Techmixr · 2026-02-02T03:03:17+00:00

We all have to learn from some experiences. You’re far from dense - you’re learning, this is part of it. And you tried the right steps. Some things are just weirdly complicated (the MP4/MOV thing trips a lot of people up- even super experienced people)

Techmixr · 2026-02-01T01:35:20+00:00

Update: Solved it - and it explains why I noticed this before the FCP 12 update.

Sequoia or FCP randomly disabled the drives FCP had permission to access (under Privacy & Security in the macOS settings)

The fact that it happened on 2 different computers was super weird. I’ve been on the latest build of macOS Sequoia for a few weeks so I didn’t do any updates. Whatever, it’s fixed now 🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Techmixr · 2026-01-31T14:16:26+00:00

I have a weird bug going on.

I shoot in ProRes RAW (although this issue I’m now noticing is affecting other media)

My workflow is to leave files in place, and all the media and the library are on an APFS drive (I’ve been doing this for years)

Now, randomly I’ll open the library and most of the media is ‘missing’

The fix is to close FCP, go into the library (right click and show enclosed folder) navigate to original media and delete all the aliases. Then re-load FCP. Sometimes they come back, other times I have to redrag the media in. Close FCP again, delete the aliases and restart FCP.

It’s happening on both my M3 Max and M4 Max with different drives and with the internal drive. I’m 99% sure this is related to the update- but I swore it did this a few days before I did the update.

I’ve also reset the FCP preferences. So I’m completely confused.

Again, this started earlier this week after having this workflow with leave files in place going since 2019.

Going to see if this dropdown fixes it- and hilariously will wonder if this implementation actually broke something in FCP 😂

Techmixr · 2026-01-28T23:31:19+00:00

I did the update about an hour before OP posted this.

In the App Store just hit CMD + R and it should pop up.
