With the release of Big Sur and the Apple Silicon Macs, many attendees wondered what this would mean for the Apple Creative ecosystem and content creation world in general. Tshaka Armstrong, educational professional and the creative force behind Digital Shepherds, strongly believes that the emergence of the Apple M1 means that storytelling tools are becoming more accessible. “I’ve watched some of my fellow tech reviewers run through some benchmarks and some use-case scenarios and they found that there are $6,000 MacBook Pros were rendering out slower than the $1,300 MacBook Pro 13 inch with the M1 chip,” said Tshaka Armstrong. “So now somebody can have access to a tool that will allow them to tell stories that they would not have been able to otherwise tell because they may not have had the capital investment to tell those stories. So for me, the future is about a greater diversity of storytelling.” While the live event is now over, the Final Cut Pro Summit recordings are available for purchase. All training sessions, panel discussions, and case studies that took place over the week-long event are available for only $99 USD! You will be able to gain access to a variety of knowledge and review sessions at your own pace. Hopefully the Final Cut Pro Summit can return as a physical event next year, but it proved to be a great opportunity for content creators to network and learn during a tumultuous year. “It was amazing value,” shared an anonymous FCPX Summit attendee. “It would have been great to have been there in person but much harder to justify. It was great to feel part of a community again when COVID has been so isolating.”
