Thanks for the heads up! I was considering purchasing this plugin in hopes to take advantage of final cuts render speeds but the cons seem to outweigh my overall usage goal. I will stick with using Davinci Resolve. Thanks again.
It is worth having for super simple projects but if you want fast render times, I think Davinci Resolve seems faster for a final export (I haven't done side by side export tests). In terms of rendering effects on the fly, FCPX is still faster and better at that. In my opinion, Davinci is kind of bad at rendering effects on the fly. Hopefully that makes sense.
This really echos my experience with this plugin. For everything it does well, it has several problems. It really just feels more like a novelty than anything that can realistically be used professionally. It kills me that blackmagic has made some of their best cameras to date with the Ursa12k, Broadcast G2, and the FF6K, but locked them behind BRAW only codecs.
Maybe a blessing in disguise but I really like Davinci Resolve now because the BRAW plugin sort of exposed me/us to using BRAW in the first place. You may consider checking out Davinci Resolve. Again, the cut page and multicam are bad but there is a lot of great things in there. Plus, I think the Davinci team is much faster at implementing changes and requests.
That’s crazy I was considering to use the micro studio 4k g2 for multicam live and wanted to record in 1080 ProRes LT for quick multicam edit with fcpx … but there is only braw rec…
Same here, I was going to open a request in their forums and see if it's possible to add a Paid Upgrade/License to install Prores in the new cameras. I know Panasonic does this and avoid extra costs to some users and I'll be more than happy to pay whatever for the License and keep working with Prores most of the times. On top of that, many of my clients request Prores when I have to deliver the rushes, most of the agencies and big brands require that. I was in contact already with the support team and the encouraged me to open that request. However, I asked in a Blackmagic forum and I was about to get killed by the fanboys.
