Apple’s Master Plan for Creator Studio is all about "Time" and "Efficiency." 
Which "missing piece" would make the subscription a 100% "Yes" for you? 🛠️

Final Cut Pro "Must-Haves" for 2026: 
✅ Audio: Role-based buses, auto-EQ (Adobe Podcast style), and native ducking. 
✅ Editing: Text-based editing (delete text = delete video) and "Gling-style" silence removal. 
✅ UI: A modern keyframe editor that doesn't feel like 2011. 
✅ Content: A "Premium Hub" that actually rivals paid stock sites, not just iMovie titles.

The Poll Question: Which of these "missing links" is the BIGGEST dealbreaker for you? If Apple doesn't add this in the first 12 months, are you out?

What is the ONE feature Apple must add this year to justify the "Creator Studio" subscription?

I’m choosing to support the new Apple Creator Studio because I want the Pro Apps team to have the resources to actually INNOVATE again. But let’s be real: for $129/year, Apple needs to over-deliver. If they don't, this is the beginning of the end for FCP.

🗳️ Help Me Pick My Next NAS Before I Lose My Mind 😅
My backupe setup is getting a major upgrade — and I want your help deciding which NAS to get. I’ll be testing it in a full video soon, showing how it performs with 4K/6K/ footage, backups, and daily editing on my Mac Studio.

👇 In the comments, let me know:
• How many bays you think I need
• How much total storage I should plan for
• Any must-have features (RAID, speed, redundancy, remote access)
• Your favorite tips or lessons learned from your own NAS

I’ll read every comment and base my next NAS video on your suggestions — your input might even make it into the final video!

Let’s figure out the best setup together. Vote, comment, and stay tuned for the full review! 🔥

Is it worth upgrading? iPhone 17 Pro Max VS the 15 Pro Max - review coming soon. My big question is how do they compare in Low Light specifically.

I was sold a lie.
Final Cut Pro promised to be the fastest, most creator-friendly editor out there… but somewhere along the way, Apple stopped listening. Now it feels frozen.


What we were promised:
⚡ Speed
🎯 Simplicity
🎨 Pro-level tools

What we got:
✅ A solid base editor
❌ Stuck in 2019 when it comes to modern features


Creators today need:
• AI captions → graphics
• Text-based editing
• Auto remove silences & bad takes
• Better animation/keyframes
• Easy collaboration
• Native Color Finale-level grading


Apple could win back creators by:
📱 Launching an iPhone & Android companion app like CapCut → but with export to FCP
🎧 Better AI audio mixing & EQ
🎥 3D camera tracking
🎼 Music remix tools for any track


We’re not asking for much—just for Apple to make Final Cut Pro the tool it could be.

What’s YOUR Final Cut wish list? 👇
