FCP Cafe now has a new logo/icon designed by the amazing Matthew Skiles. We hope you like it as much as we do!
He has also designed a new logo/icon for Resolve Cafe, which is equally amazing.
We've just added an amazingly detailed case study for Blood & Gold!
BRAW Toolbox v1.1.4 (51) is now available on the Mac App Store.
Thanks to the help and support of the awesome Final Cut Pro team, we finally have a workaround to the Synchronised Clips bug.
Previously, Synchronised Clips could cause random glitches during playback, and produce unexpected results in some, but not all, cases.
As a result, in BRAW Toolbox v1.1.1 we made Create Multicam Clips the default option as a workaround to this issue.
We now know this was actually due to the fact that we're applying the BRAW Toolbox effect to a Custom Solids Generator.
Whilst Final Cut Pro worked correctly when scrubbing and skimming a clip, during playback, because the Custom generator normally doesn't change its output (i.e. it's always a static colour), Final Cut Pro was using a cached frame, rather than rendering a new frame, which caused the glitches.
Essentially, it's very unusual for an Effect to change the output of a Generator, so we were getting unpredictable results.
We now workaround this issue by simply applying keyframes to the Custom Solid, so that Final Cut Pro always renders the frames - simple, but effective.
To fix Synchronized Clips created in earlier versions of BRAW Toolbox, we've added a Repair Synchronized Clips (prior to v1.1.3) Toolbox, which will add keyframes to all your Generators within the BRAW Toolbox Clip.
HUGE thank you to Tangier Clarke for supplying a reproducible library to help us solve this annoying bug.
We'll leave Create Multicam Clips on by default, however you will no longer get a warning message when you toggle this preference.
