Ivanhurba Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 1 hour ago, Axel said: Not fixed then. I noticed a few months ago that I couldn't map the 'Magic Keyboard' (german version) to FCP X shortcuts (left bracket, right bracket etc. become Umlaute- äöüß). Wrote to Apple, but there is no solution other than buying a traditional keyboard or use FCP X in english. The translation to german is flawed. In FCP 7, they didn't translate the important stuff like Browser, Viewer, Canvas, Playhead and Timeline. No one knows what the german word for browser would be anyway. In 10.3, it became worse. Originally, they had translated roles ('Rollen' in german) to Funktionen (functions). Because a term of analog film, reel, translates to Rolle as well. Now they call it Funktion in some places, Rolle in others. Very confusing, particularly for newbies. You are completely right; it's not fixed in reality and Apple won't do anything if at all until the next update that can take months. Let's hope they do something about it.

There are more language-related problems I found now. In this regard, 10.3 seems to be hastily cobbled together. For example, there now is a new function to remove attributes (Attribute in german). BUT: in the timeline-index, they changed the old translation for tags (Schlagwörter, the clumsiest translation imaginable, no one ever says Schlagwörter in real life) to Attribute And if we use FCP X in english, this free iBook-manual helps us. As one comment says, the hyperlinks don't work reliably. But it's a better way to learn about the new features in depth (Wide Color Gamut, Audio Components asf.), much like the old FCS PDF manuals, which explained everything patiently. I never liked the FCP X online help. Here the links work, but often you find yourself in a link-loop: You can nest several independant clips in a compound clip. > A compound clip is a way to nest several independant clips ...

Xavier Plagaro Mussard Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I arrived at my conclusion a long time ago. After several months using Photoshop in english, I tried it in spanish. I couldn't find "Blur"!!! ;-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lintelfilm Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Just to let you other FCPX users know, since updating to 10.3 my Log footage ( CLog on XC10 and C100 too i think) has been displaying as totally over exposed. I thought I was doing something wrong in camera but it turns out FCP has been automatically applying Log Processing! I was annoyed but relieved to discover I could use the two days of footage I thought I'd ruined. To turn off log processing go to the info pane of the inspector and choose "settings" view. Then select "none" for log processing. iamoui 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Never use the built-in luts. You can't color correct the image underneath (the way you could with LUTutility on an adjustment-layer) and bring back the highlights. You can only grade on top of that lut, after it has limited the signal! Lintelfilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only grade on top of that lut, after it has limited the signal! Indeed! I never wanted to use them - in fact I didn't even know they were there! But after I updated to 10.3 the metadata from my cameras saying "shot in Canon Log" started getting read by FCPX and automagically processed. Not what I wanted at all. Particularly as I didn't know it was doing it or where to find the place to turn it off. The function of the Log Processing however is not to act as a grading LUT. It does have its uses. It's for editors working with log footage who want to work with a more "realistic" image prior to the grading stage. The processing would always be turned off again prior to being handed off to a colourist. However I'd ETTR'd all my shots so the built in processor was just blowing everything. Suffice to say my post was just a warning that Log Processing got turned on automatically for me, so watch out! Axel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Thanks. It's the biggest update yet, and I think it's very good. But we must find out about hidden bugs. Lintelfilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
