We are excited to announce that Final Cut Pro is now supported with the new Logi Plugin for the Logitech MX Creative Console! Here’s everything you need to know about system requirements, installation, optimization, and troubleshooting common issues.

System requirements and installation

To integrate your Logitech MX Creative Console with Final Cut Pro (FCP), the Logi Plugin uses keyboard shortcuts. Please note the following requirements and steps:

System requirements

• Keyboard layout: US English keyboard layout is mandatory for the plugin to function properly.
• Hardware Optimization: The plugin is optimized for Apple M-series chips. Systems with older Intel processors may experience reduced performance, particularly with dial adjustments.

Installing the plugin

1. Close Final Cut Pro: Ensure that FCP is not running during the installation process.
2. Install the plugin: Download and install the Final Cut Pro plugin from the Options+ Marketplace.
3. Automatic configuration: The plugin will automatically set up the correct keyboard shortcut settings within FCP after installation.

Troubleshooting common issues

If you experience problems with the plugin or its actions, follow these troubleshooting tips:

Check the keyboard layout

The plugin requires the system’s keyboard layout to be set to US English. Make sure this is configured correctly in your macOS settings:

1. Navigate to System Settings > Keyboard > Input Sources.
2. Add and select US English if it’s not already active.

Verify the command set in Final Cut Pro

Ensure the correct Logitech command set is active within FCP:

1. Open Final Cut Pro.
2. Navigate to Final Cut Pro > Command Sets.
3. Select Logi Plugin Command Set from the options.

Performance on older systems

If you’re using a Mac with an Intel processor, you may encounter reduced performance, especially when using dials. While the plugin is optimized for M-series chips, you can:

• Minimize other resource-intensive applications running in the background.
• Restart your Mac to free up resources before using FCP with the plugin.

With the introduction of Final Cut Pro support via our Logi Plugin for the Logitech MX Creative Console, we aim to enhance your editing workflow.
