It’s not so much an issue with FCPX or even Avid (which has been resisting change since 1987) but Premiere have this new policy of not supporting versions that are 2 releases earlier than the current version. So now working remotely logging into a large facility is problematic if you are running the latest of everything.

The upgrade path runs into the mega thousands of spondoolas and just can’t afford to replace everything every five years or so. I’m 2 years away from paying off the iMac Pro and MacBook 16” Pro and I’m ready to throw money at Apple’s latest version of the future. We as individuals with a desktop and possibly a laptop or even just a single laptop can upgrade and maintain our systems with relative ease. So this has posed a really interesting quandary.

Also they have something like 8 full edit suites and at least that many subtitle stations all running Adobe Premiere Pox. Their hardware is incompatible with the new software and so are not able to upgrade it. And so we come to the crux of the matter.Ī recent complete reinstall on my iMac broke the Adobe installation my client uses… Version 2019 13.15. (Current at time of writing) for my clients who need to have a Pox project file. I use XtoPro from Marquis Broadcasting to create AAF files for Mix.Īnd finally, I am running Premiere Pro 22.4. More on this particular workflow in a sec. Subs in Pox do not translate into X and so I now have my subtitler run an SRT creation app called SubTitle-VideoEditor Pro and use Premiere Title Import from Spherico to convert SRT files to Adobe Essential Graphics XMLs for easy import. I run XtoCC and SendTOx from Intelligent Assistance for conversion of FCPX XMLs to Premiere Pox XMLs (or as Pox prefers to name it FCP7 XML. And so I have loads of tools to facilitate the process to make it as seamless as possible at my SA clients Premiere Pox facility and workflow. I avoid Premiere Pox like the plague and rather convert everything from X to Pox at the point of delivery. I am able to work in AVID and Premiere Pox if the job requires it but prefer X. As you’ll know from this blog I work mainly in FCPX. I run a 2019 iMac Pro, maxed out to the top spec, running the latest version of everything. In between all that I have a couple of local Irish short films and have just finished a South African feature film which was picked up by a big American Streaming Service. I currently am supplying 3 episodes of Scripted Television for a couple of shows on a weekly basis. Much of my work is from clients in South Africa. I work remotely from a small seaside town on the East Coast of Ireland.
