Simply Revolutionary

Professional Editor and Digital Asset Manager here. I never normally bother to write a review for an app but with this I had to.

Quite simply, this combined with Frame.io changes everything if you are working in a team workflow. The ability to upload directly in to the CMS system straight out FCPX might not sound like much but on projects with heavily fragmented subject areas and mountains of B-roll it is indispensable! YMMV depending on workflow layout but I have easily doubled my capacity because of this plugin.

One huge benefit that seems to have been passed over in the promo materials is the ability to export the clips out of FCPX as individual videos. Essentially plugging a HUGE capability hole that has existed in FCPX for a very long time. The ability to import raw 4K in to FCPX, run off individual low res proxies into a web interface to be reviwed remotely as well as saved locally for editing, all done automatically, and set up with the click of a couple of buttons is amazing. Yes Davinchi resolve can do the same, but the process is more convoluted, this plugin makes it an absolute doddle. On a fast machine, with a fast web connection this plugin condenses hours of Resolve work into a back ground process you can file and forget.

We got Frame.io for work and I can say this without a hint of exaggeration, no matter where I go in my career this will be the first thing I buy. I’m even going to pick up a copy for my own private freelancing operations because there are always better things to do with life than render footage.
