My inbox was at 3 when I left for NAB.
I wasn’t meaning to not reply, but it has been an absolutely jam-packed week with sessions, events and friends! Working as fast I can to get back to all of you over the next few days. Appreciate your patience!

I turned 30! How else do you celebrate other than falling 15,000 feet?

Getting ready to release a minor Pro Zooms update (4.2) with a few bug fixes, as well as a new feature or two that have been requested (reverse checkbox is coming back!). I am considering hiding the Motion Blur variations of the plugin and wanted to know what the general opinion is?

The Motion Blur variations do automatically add more realistic Motion Blur to the zooms, however, the entire title needs to render with motion blur active, which means it takes a lot more computer resources to use, despite it only really affecting the start and end of the zoom.

This can also lead to unwanted Motion Blur being applied to other elements of the scene.

But the Motion Blur title can be dragged over the top, or applied as an effect (if you want the entire thing to have Motion Blur) and accomplish the exact same thing, but you don't need to worry about the additional rendering on parts that don't have Motion Blur.

Hiding them will reduce clutter in the FCP browser, and make it easier to find the exact tool you are looking for.

What do you think I should do?

Harv had a channel I watched for years before I even started YouTube. Always high quality, and very helpful.

For some unexplained reason, his channel was deleted by YouTube.

He’s starting fresh after over 12 years of having a channel. If you like audio and video stuff, Harv AV is a fantastic place to go! Let’s get his channel bigger than ever. He deserves it.

90,000+ of you...
This particular number is hitting me a lot harder than many of the other milestones. I just can't believe how close we are to reaching 100,000. 

We are 90% of the way to the dream I had as a nerdy kid who loved just poking buttons on a computer and making fun videos with his friends and family.

Subscription numbers in many ways are just a vanity metric, but at the same time, it's an indication of the amazing community of creators who have rallied together and have said... Yeah dude.. Final Cut Pro is pretty freakin' cool.

I always say "We" in these posts, because even though it's my name on the channel, this genuinely is only possible with your help. It's just me, and 90,025 others who have made this channel what it is today...

Thank you for joining me on this YouTube journey. I am truly grateful for it every single day.

FCP 12.2 just dropped! It's just some minor stability improvements.. But stability is always appreciated!

I wish they were a bit more granular about what was changed...
