Looks like the Final Cut Pro X News is spreading! Just announced are two new events, London on the 15th and Berlin on the 18th of November 2016. Now Europe can see the cool 10.3 demonstrations.
We just got notification from Brian Cantwell at Soho Editors about these two new Final Cut Pro events. Of course FCP.co is proud to be a media sponsor to help spread the news.
FCPXWorld - Final Cut Pro X 10.3 - What’s all the fuss about?
You may have missed it last Thursday, but Apple announced the latest update to Final Cut Pro X. They also launched a new MacBook Pro which, according to the press release, is 57% faster than its predecessor when used for editing. Not too shabby!
The latest update for FCPX is a major one. Susan Prescott, Apple’s Vice President of Apps Product Marketing, said “this is our biggest update to Final Cut Pro X since we completely redesigned it five years ago. The new version features a sleek interface and adds powerful new editing features that go far beyond what’s possible with traditional, track-based video editing apps; and integration with the revolutionary Touch Bar gives professional video editors a whole new way to interact with Final Cut Pro X.”
A redesigned interface streamlines the layout of Final Cut Pro X to optimise screen space for MacBook Pro users, while a darker, flat look puts the focus on the content. Customisable workspaces lets users adjust window arrangements for different tasks such as organising, editing and colour grading — even across multiple monitors. Full support for wide colour workflows allows users to import, edit and deliver video in standard Rec. 601 and Rec. 709 colour spaces, or in wide gamut Rec. 2020 colour space.
Here, at Soho Editors, we felt this was too big an update to be missed, so we are going to be the first to show the new version at FCPXWorld in London & Berlin during November.
Soho Editors’ Managing Director, Brian Cantwell, said “it may be surprising to a lot of people how big the FCPX world is. The style of our event will be as a continuous presentation, using the same media throughout, taking the visitors on a journey of discovery and, hopefully, a little wonderment.
It will provide a showcase for the power of Final Cut Pro X and, in the process, introduce complimentary partners whilst demonstrating a truly professional workflow from beginning to end.”
Some of our partners at FCPXWorld include, Jigsaw24, Coremelt, Softron, Frame.io and Color Grading Central. However, this only scratches the surface of what’s out there for FCPX users.
FCPXWorld will be visiting London on the 15th November at the IET, just off the Strand; and then Berlin on the 18th November.
So whether you are new to Final Cut Pro X, or already a fan and want to find out all about the creative power of Final Cut Pro X and the huge ecosystem that’s been created to support it, this is an event not to be missed!

I am the Editor-in-Chief of FCP.co and have run the website since its inception ten years ago.
I have also worked as a broadcast and corporate editor for over 30 years, starting on one inch tape, working through many formats, right up to today's NLEs.
Under the name Idustrial Revolution, I have written and sold plugins for Final Cut Pro for 13 years.
I was made a Freeman of Lichfield through The Worshipful Company of Smiths (established 1601). Though I haven't yet tried to herd a flock of sheep through the city centre!
Current Editing
2020 has been busy, the beginning of the year was finishing off a new property series (cut on FCP) for Channel 4 called The Great House Giveaway. I also designed and built the majority of the graphics as Motion templates. It has been a great success and the shows grabbed more viewers in the 4pm weekday slot than any previous strand. It has been recommissioned by C4 for 60 episodes, including prime-time versions and five themed programmes. The shows have also been nominated for a 2021 BAFTA.
Although both were postponed to later in the year, I worked again on ITV's coverage of the Tour de France and La Vuelta. 2020 was my 25th year of editing the TdF and my 20th year as lead editor. The Tour was the first broadcast show to adopt FCPX working for multiple editors on shared storage.
BBC's Snooker has played a big part in my life, I've been editing tournament coverage since 1997. I'm proud to be part of a very creative team that has pioneered many new ideas and workflows that are now industry standard in sports' production. This is currently an Adobe Premiere edit.
Covid cancelled some of the regular corporate events that I edit such as trade shows & events. I was lucky however to edit, from home, on projects for Amazon Kindle, Amazon Black Friday, Mastercard and very proud to have helped local charitable trust Kendall & Wall secure lottery funding.
As for software, my weapon of choice is Final Cut Pro and Motion, but I also have a good knowledge and broadcast credits with Adobe Premiere Pro, MOGRT design and Photoshop.
Plugin Design & Development
I'm the creative force behind Idustrial Revolution, one of the oldest Final Cut Pro plugin developers. It hosts a range of commercial and free plugins on the site. One free plugin was downloaded over a thousand times within 24 hours of release.
I also take on custom work, whether it is adapting an existing plugin for a special use or designing new plugins for clients from scratch. Having a good knowledge of editing allows me to build-in flexibility and more importantly, usability.
FCP.co
Now in its 10th year and 4th redesign, running FCP.co has given me knowledge on how to run a large CMS- you are currently reading my bio from the database! Although it sounds corny, I am pretty well up on social media trends & techniques, especially in the video sector. The recent Covid restrictions has enabled live FCP.co shows online. This involves managing a Zoom Webinar through Restream.io to YouTube and Facebook.
The Future
I'm always open to new ideas and opportunities, so please get in touch at editor (at) fcp.co. I've judged film competitions, presented workflow techniques to international audiences and come up with ideas for TV shows and software programs!
