For anyone interested in on-device transcription, ScriptStar v1.5.0 (Build 23) is now available for testing on TestFlight.
You can find TestFlight links to all of LateNite's products over on the FCP Cafe Discord.
This is really the best place to chat to other Final Cut Pro gurus.
There's some cool changes to Keyframe Toolbox hitting TestFlight VERY soon!
Whilst the FCP Creative Summit looks like it might have quietly disappeared, NAB is going full stream ahead!

The Apple Creator Studio Track Is Here
If you create with Apple tools—or want to discover how Apple Creator Studio can elevate your next production—this dedicated track at Post|Production World Las Vegas is crafted for you.
It brings together real-world workflows, practical techniques, and advanced tools across Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Pixelmator Pro.

Steve, Mark, Jenn & Dylan are four of the nicest, kindest, smartest and most attractive experts in the Final Cut Pro community, and such great presenters!
If you're heading to NAB, I would HIGHLY recommend heading to Post|Production World.
Sadly, I won't be making the trek to NAB this year - both for cost and safety reasons, given the current state of the world.
I'm ASSUMING this is similar reasons why the FCP Creative Summit has been delayed or cancelled all-together.
Based on the years that I've been, a large portion of the FCP Creative Summit attendees and presenters were from overseas, and I think travelling anywhere, let alone the USA in the current climate is a lot more challenging than it was a year ago.
I also think, with Apple's recent MotionVFX acquisition, the Apple team probably isn't entirely sure of timelines for product releases - it's probably all still an evolving work-in-progress.
I do however expect to see SOME kind of announcement about Final Cut Pro and MotionVFX at NAB - what exactly I have no idea.
As I've written on FCP Cafe, I would be REALLY surprised if Apple just add all of MotionVFX's collection to Apple Creator Studio.
It's POSSIBLE they might just move all the MotionVFX DesignStudio elements to Apple Creator Studio:
It'll be interesting to see if they keep mExtension or if they just include all the Motion Templates as optional downloads in the Effects/Transitions/Titles/Generator Browsers, like they currently do on both Mac and iPad.
Either way, NAB will be interesting times!
