2020 was my 25th year of editing the TdF and my 20th year as lead editor. The shows have also been nominated for a 2021 BAFTA.Īlthough both were postponed to later in the year, I worked again on ITV's coverage of the Tour de France and La Vuelta. It has been recommissioned by C4 for 60 episodes, including prime-time versions and five themed programmes. It has been a great success and the shows grabbed more viewers in the 4pm weekday slot than any previous strand. I also designed and built the majority of the graphics as Motion templates. Though I haven't yet tried to herd a flock of sheep through the city centre! Current EditingĢ020 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 was made a Freeman of Lichfield through The Worshipful Company of Smiths (established 1601). Under the name Idustrial Revolution, I have written and sold plugins for Final Cut Pro for 13 years. 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. I am the Editor-in-Chief of FCP.co and have run the website since its inception ten years ago. We will be very interested to see the next stage of ClipExporter's future, so stay tuned! Thanks Apple for having the guts to rewrite FCP and bringing it to the 21st century! I hope ClipExporter attracts more VFX and Indie artists as well developers to FCP X. This is my way of supporting Final Cut Pro X and it´s community.Applications like Blender and it´s surrounding community really impressed me. This is a contribution to the positive minded open source community.The open source code gives other artists and studios the opportunity to customize ClipExporter so it fits perfectly into their specific workflow.But I know that people are in need for such an app. I´m not using Motion, so I never developed something like that. For example: I would be delighted if an Objective-C developer picks up the code and develops a Motion exporter which exports a complete timeline (just like the AE exporter does). Although I´ll continue to develop and maintain ClipExporter, I hope that more developers join me in programming CE to make it a much greater workflow app for everyone.Meanwhile the costs of the development have been covered by the people who bought ClipExporter up to now. ClipExporter was mainly developed for my own needs as a VFX-music-video maker. I´m an artist with programming skills and I just wanted a tool that is affordable and reliable – a tool that helps me getting things done. I´m not interested in earning a living from programming.Thomas has posted more information on why ClipExporter has gone free and open source. A donation would be appreciated too, the app used to be $27 in the store! If you would like to download and use ClipExporter for free then please head on over to the downloads section on the Midtransplant website. We have donated €10 as well as we are always keen to help small developers grow in the FCP ecosystem. We would urge you to communicate with Thomas either in our comments section or on his blog. Which all sounds like great news for us FCPX users out there and we wish Thomas the best of luck in taking the app forward. I´m more interested in having a great tool available for everyone than profit." The only difference is that it is free for all and that developers can join with me and extend ClipExporter. He is keen to point out that this is not the end of ClipExporter! I need a faster way to respond to feature requests and bug reports. Another drawback: it is not possible to communicate with customers. But waiting 10-20 days for a simple, but important bugfix is not the way I want to go. Don´t get me wrong, the Apple Review Team does a great job to ensure that the functionality and security of an app meets the Apple guidelines before it comes online. "Although the MAS is a great and easy way for selling quality software, the time that it takes to get an app reviewed is a major disadvantage. Thomas emailed us to say that although ClipExporter has been a success, it has been hard to work with the store:
