The film was again shot in 2K on an Arri Alexa, but this time using the new Apple ProRes 4444 XQ codec. It was on time and under budget so there was no complaining! Whatever made us happy they were fine with as long as the usual caveats of it being on time and on budget. Glenn: The studio understood that myself, John and Jan had done this before so they were happy. We were curious to see if we had to go through a rigorous approval process as we did with Warner Bros, but they just said fine, if you like it, go for it. Jan: This was a new film with a new studio, Paramount. One big change this time, the film was produced for another studio, were they nervous about using FCPX? I don’t know why but I guess it is so far out of their realm they think its not doable - which I’m very quick to correct them!

But what I find most fascinating of all and it still continues to this day is when we talk about what we did and what we used, people still think we are talking about Final Cut Pro 7. We were totally willing to share the information about FCPX from Focus.

I’m doing another project with another editor, a TV project on Avid and I don’t regret our decision to cut on Final Cut Pro X one bit! It was pretty seamless. It’s all about what you are comfortable with. Glenn Ficcara: It’s much easier to get into and obviously we had done it all before. We had worked out the inefficiencies and wanted to stretch it a little further this time, which we did. There were also no engineers in the edit room handholding us. There were zero custom builds of Final Cut Pro X on Focus and zero custom builds when we edited Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
We laid out what we liked, what we don’t mind and what should get better. Jan Kovac: We did have a debriefing or post mortem after Focus. In this article, we will try to add more detail as the workflow and editing process was analysed and refined after Focus. Those two articles are a good starting point if you haven't read about the FCPX workflow on a feature film. How the Hollywood feature film Focus was edited on Final Cut Pro X Part Two How the Hollywood feature film Focus was edited on Final Cut Pro X Part One So when we were asked if we would like to find out more about Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, the latest Tina Fey film from directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, we jumped at the chance. Last year's FCP.co's two articles on Focus, the first major Hollywood studio film to be cut on FCPX, proved to be highly popular. Especially if you are going to cut your next Hollywood feature film on Final Cut Pro X! We think you know the answer already, but again their detailed workflow is well worth a read. We asked director Glenn Ficarra, Editor Jan Kovac, Assistant Editor Kevin Bailey and Apprentice Editor Esther Sokolow how the film was made, what was different from Focus and of course how well Final Cut Pro X performed? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is the new comedy war film from Paramount Studios starring Tina Fey.
