    1. Found an interesting free app: Extract/copy only media actually used in a project to a new location. Very handy if you want to transfer an edit and ignore the TBs of source data, sticking to what you actually used in the timeline.
    2. Free Final Cut Pro caption tool — now with full styling control
    3. FCP doesn't tell you which plugin is missing, so I built a native tool that does.

    1. I accidentally deleted a client's entire library 20 minutes before a deadline. Here's what saved me - and what I do differently now
    2. Apple is basically locking legitimate Final Cut Pro owners out of their own software
