Be interesting to see the video if you can show the difference between graded and not graded.

You mean like those "wipes"? Yikes! I could post the video without grading... Or some clips un graded, or cut them in half and only grade parts. Hmmm...

Untouched clip. I just uploaded so it's not all filled in...

This might be better...

Very nice!
I wish my videos were more like that...

Thanks but I'm still not really where I want to be.

Yep I bailed from Final Cut (2012) myself. At the time it was nothing more than a fancy iMovie having lot of features ripped away from it. That was a LONG time ago in computer time. If I was on a Mac I would still give it consideration. Last year Apple updated Final Cut Pro X to version 10.4, which included enhanced color editing tools, 360-degree video editing support and support for HDR. The new version also supports the HEVC video format and HEIF photo format. Since that time there has been a lot of real movies cut with FCP. So it is "Pro"

I bought Power director myself and hated it. Not because of the limitations but the interface. I could never wrap my head around it. I am using Adobe Premiere now and the one thing that I do not like is the subscription based model. I also dislike it will not render in the background like FCP does. If I were not firmly entrenched in Adobe right now I would give Davinci Resolve a hard look too.

Yep I went the PD route because it was cheaper. I actually was okay with the interface and struggled with PP. The subscription is kinda wack but I get the whole Adobe Suite, that I don't use, for $20 so it's not too bad. I also have Resolve but I don't use it. One of these days I'll actually use the Hasselblad editor I downloaded...

Well if you watch that video above it looks like he is using FCP, and in typical Apple fashion, he just drops it in then adjusts the order of the other filters/effects.

If you're referring to me, I use Premiere Pro.

Thank you for that. That was exactly what I was looking for. The difference is chalk and cheese.

That is absolutely not the same as a background render. FCP will render everything (titles, effects, filters) while you are idle. Premiere will render in to out or the sequence when you tell it to and you have to optimize your sequence settings in Premiere otherwise it is slow as dogship. Honestly it is pretty weak.

Sure it is.
