This lets editors and producers work from home without needing to upload and download huge video files over slow home internet connections. In short, FCPX lets TV and movie post-production teams collaborate from home, without compromising the finished product. And that means they can keep making our favorite TV shows even during lockdown.

Back in June, New Zealand reopened cinemas after declaring itself COVID-free (prematurely, it turns out). Despite being safe, box office takings were down at just 17% of normal levels. People just aren’t going to the movies, and many may never go again.

Shooting a movie or TV show in COVID times requires all kinds of difficult distancing and other safety measures, but at least now editing the footage can be done remotely. With just a Mac, a half-decent internet connection, and the latest FCPX update, editors and producers can collaborate.

These are essentially low-resolution stand-ins for the original video files—as low as 1/8 the size, says Apple. Later, when the final cut is assembled, the original, full-resolution files are swapped in. The model is very flexible, with Final Cut able to mix and match original and proxy clips, and integrate with third-party online tools like the Frame.io reviewing and approval service.

He’d scored the beginning of the season with a regular orchestra, but it was no longer possible to put all 35 of those musicians into a room together. Instead, he worked with technicians to have the musicians recorded at home, then patch together the parts into a whole score.&nbsp; “It is a huge challenge for the crew,” Eisler told Variety in an interview, “because it’s really three times the amount of work to prep, orchestrate, [and give] additional instructions on the orchestration.” Apple The example above applies to video editing, as well.

It’s the kind of logistical problem the new tools in Final Cut Pro X are meant to solve. It gives editors the ability to keep production going, even in the midst of a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. (Of course, they’ll still need video to edit, but that’s a whole different article).

Proxies also mean editors can get away with using lower-powered computers. Not everyone has a high-powered editing machine in their home. “[Proxies are] great when you’re editing on a lower-powered Mac that can’t handle higher res files,” says Smith, “so that you can edit quicker and then revert back to the full-res when exporting.” Is this the future of movie and TV production?
