FCP X, Motion 5 and Dashwood Stereo3D Toolbox compatibility
FCP X & Motion 5 have been released and the questions are already rolling in so I wanted to post the current status. I myself only downloaded the apps about an hour ago so I'm still figuring out where we stand.

Re: FCP X, Motion 5 and Dashwood Stereo3D Toolbox compatibility
This is a far fetched Idea, but is there a possibility an independent company could/would buy FCP-7 from Apple.
That way, the third-party companies, and the huge number of people that have set up their livelihood could really hone, customize, etc, FCP-7. |

Re: FCP X, Motion 5 and Dashwood Stereo3D Toolbox compatibility
That is far-fetched and it will never happen. They could have sold Shake but they just killed it instead.
On another note.... I have had success porting Stereo3D Toolbox LE over to FCP X. We've lost the dynamic UI stuff like the help link and 3D preview screen but it is functional and harnesses all of the playback power of the app. Now I'm working on 3D workflows.

Re: FCP X, Motion 5 and Dashwood Stereo3D Toolbox compatibility
Thanks Tim, I was about to ask about this and you've answered at least some of my questions. From an FCP X review I read recently it looked like compound clips could perhaps be more stable than nested sequences and offer a way to handle 3D in X.
Assuming you get it all to work my biggest concern is still the fact you can't import existing FCS projects into FCP X - what's that about? Cheers Neil |

Re: FCP X, Motion 5 and Dashwood Stereo3D Toolbox compatibility
Yes the compound clips work better in one respect and not another. More details on this when we finish our own testing.
Version 3 of Stereo3D Toolbox LE will be released with FxFactory 2.6.1 in a week or so and will also be FCP X compatible. As usual this will be a free upgrade for existing LE license holders. We have added quite a few new features to LE that will be announced at the time of release. The full version of Stereo3D Toolbox v3.0 will be released in August at the same time as Stereo3D CAT is released. Quote:

Thanks, Tim.
I'm really impressed that you are willing to take the time to make things work with FCP-X. |

Tim:
Does the 10.0.3 update open things up for stereo3D? Any news on the Toolbox update? Thanks! |

Re: FCP X, Motion 5 and Dashwood Stereo3D Toolbox compatibility
It sure does. There have been many under-the-hood improvements to Motion 5 and FCP X 10.0.3 that we have been waiting patiently for.
We can now finally push forward with our plans for Toolbox v3 on FCP X & Motion 5. It can't be exactly the same as in FCP 7 because there are still limitations with Motion Templates used in FCP X vs full FxPlug support in FCP7, but we have something really cool and radically different in the works. The intent is to release the update before before NAB.

Re: FCP X, Motion 5 and Dashwood Stereo3D Toolbox compatibility
I just returned from NAB 2012. Tim's new Stereo3D Toolbox prototype is AWESOME! Lot more control and productivity, no rendering, auto-alignment, and other amazingly powerful controls. I tried other 3D editors, this one will be one to beat. If you get a chance, visit Tim's booth at the Central Hall. I will release a short clip shortly.

Re: FCP X, Motion 5 and Dashwood Stereo3D Toolbox compatibility
We discovered a pretty big bug with the new Toolbox in After Effects CS6 last week but hopefully we can find the remedy in the next week and then officially release. In the meantime anyone who wants to beta test it in Final Cut Pro can sign up here and we will send you the next build in a few days.
