Introduction
CommandPost is a free and open source native macOS application that acts as a bridge between control surfaces, and software that doesn’t natively support control surfaces, such as Apple’s Final Cut Pro X and Adobe After Effects.
It’s been downloaded over 107 thousand times, and there’s over 2.3 thousands members in our Facebook Community.
It’s been translated into Arabic, Bengali, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malayalam, Norwegian, Panjabi/Punjabi, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian & Vietnamese by our awesome community.
It’s used by filmmakers, scientists and just general macOS fans all over the world to seriously speed up mundane tasks through powerful and customisable automation tools.
For example, you can apply individual effects within Final Cut Pro or After Effects with the single tap of a button. It also has powerful Windows management tools.
Powered by Lua (the same scripting language used by Blackmagic Fusion, Adobe Lightroom and even parts of Apple iOS), it’s insanely customisable and powerful.
It runs natively on Apple Silicon and is fully compatible with Hammerspoon.
You can listen to Chris explain CommandPost on Final Cut Pro Radio Episode #57 and Episode #43.
