FINAL CUT PRO X plugins

This site started to come up on my google news feed - a good way of discovering sites/info you weren't aware of. I often find stories/articles this way that are very useful for some part of GCSE or A-Level Media.

Some plug-ins are free, others aren't - my expectation is that you'd access any you want yourselves, but I'm happy to take suggestions for any free plug-ins I can install on all Macs, or paid-for, that I can install on one Mac.

FINAL CUT PRO X automatic beat markers for tracks

Read the comments below and it's clear there were a few bugs with this - haven't tried it myself so don't know how reliable it is now, but at 4 bucks sounds like a handy timesaver especially for music video

The new VLC alternative sounds interesting, CheatSheet sounds rather handy - some apps to consider

Here's 9to5mac's blurb on Iina - RIP VLC??

A new open source, modern media player has launched today called IINA that’s made just for macOS. It includes solid features like a dark mode, picture in picture, customizable interface, and more and looks to be a nice alternative to VLC.

After leaving beta, IINA has officially been made available today as a free, open source macOS-only media player and looks to have both great design and functionality.

Here’s how the developers describe the media player:

IINA is born to be a modern macOS application, from its framework to the user interface. It adopts the post-Yosemite design language of macOS and keeps up the pace of new technologies like Force Touch, Touch Bar, and Picture-in-Picture.

IINA features include:

• Dark mode
• Picture in picture
• Customizable UI
• Music mode
• Touch Bar support
• Trackpad and mouse gestures
• Online subtitles
• Plugin system
• Plays anything

While VLC has been one of the most popular choices for open source video players for a while, IINA looks to be a compelling choice for Mac users with tight integration of both design and functionality for macOS.

IINA is compatible with macOS 10.11 and later, but the developer recommends using it with macOS Mojave (10.14) for the best experience.

The open source IINA macOS media player is a free download, and you can check out IINA’s GitHub page here.
