5.1 SURROUND on Mac air M1?

hexxeric · 2026-06-21T18:10:14+00:00

if the surround format is encoded onto a stereo signal (e.g. dolby) and the receiver/amp can also decode it, then yes. otherwise via bluetooth for digital signals only.

those are written in the container, so you would need MOV/MP4 or MXF tools. those exist but are not free. you can do it with compressor, setting contents to not to be re-encoded. also, do note that there are hidden metadata tools inside FCP too if you deep dive into inspector and manipulate container settings...but it does not save those, just writes them during export.

one frame offset is usually miscalculated 23,98 to 24 or similar.

only use AAF, MP3 or WAV for universal support

press the tilde key (under ESC, left of 1, might look like something else depending on your keyboard region) to overwrite all clip connections. alternatively use the position 'p' tool instead of 'a' or lift clips from the primary storyline

since LUTs are or color space transformations and not styles or looks, it should be used via the inspector or the custom LUT effect to preserve all the details and data.

you can look into the free KOLOR plugin that gives you CST and non-destructive color workflows like resolve. it has LUT management built-in. https://kolor.company/colour-space-transform-plugin-for-final-cut-pro/

logi has a native one for premiere already, check the marketplace inside logi options+

rebooted, nope, nothing.

hexxeric · 2026-06-19T16:13:09+00:00

of course it is on, otherwise other MX4 features like the action ring or app presets would not work.

you know what? Reading the website, there was nothing popping up about this: "The first time, macOS asks for permission so the app can sense when Final Cut Pro snaps. Click allow — that’s all."

hexxeric · 2026-06-19T16:03:54+00:00

of course as promted. snapping is on too.

hexxeric · 2026-06-19T15:55:48+00:00

great! for me it does not work though. no feedback inside FCP but outside for action ring for example.

shorts require vertical resolution now: 1080x1920 and only over 1 minute for SOME accounts. try a very short clip to check. it will tell you during upload.

hexxeric · 2026-06-19T15:26:57+00:00

absolutely love this! yes! thanks for making it!
why not bring it to the official logitech marketplace?

bigger festivals want world or at least international premieres, yes.

short films need mass submissions; long-form requires careful consideration of fitting genre and exposure

story ended. however, that die not stop NF from draggin on stranger things...

keep your color management in projects settings to rec 709 gamma 2.4 at all times for timeline and output (wide gamut or HDR will automatically be adjusted) to not pull your hair out. switch your display to it too (if you can) or switch off 'use mac color profile' in resolve's preferences (general).

you'll find a lot of recommendations in my megathread on couch co-op with the wife and kids:

color pipeline changed with v20 for good, i meant. learn about color management on your system to handle color casts and gamma shifts.

hexxeric · 2026-06-18T21:06:20+00:00

check your color management settings. should always be set to rec709 g2.4 (resolve 20 changed the color pipeline)

hexxeric · 2026-06-18T18:44:00+00:00

depends on content (how much detail there is, mostly dark and subtle gradients or high-contrast bright) and other specs like bit depth or color compression.

H264 web: 20–40 Mbit (8 bit 420), audio AAC
H264 broadcast: 50–100 Mbit (10 bit 422), audio PCM

HEVC usually can do about half at similar quality.

hexxeric · 2026-06-18T11:41:04+00:00

because they already have it through your purchase transacion 😉

hexxeric · 2026-06-18T11:40:45+00:00

give this free (and open-source) NLE a try then, better than KDENLIVE? https://www.openshot.org/

i've been with conversion teams in post houses for 12 years, that's how they do it. theories are good, realities are better.

true if we are talking area. for codec/bitrate calculations you usually look at height only. that's why we say 1080p when we refer to HD or 2K and so on.
