+
+For anyone interested in on-device transcription, **ScriptStar v1.5.0 (Build 23)** is now available for testing on **TestFlight**.
+
+You can find TestFlight links to all of LateNite's products over on the [FCP Cafe Discord](https://ltnt.tv/discord).
+
+This is really the best place to chat to other Final Cut Pro gurus.
+
+There's some cool changes to **Keyframe Toolbox** hitting TestFlight VERY soon!
+
+Whilst the FCP Creative Summit looks like it might have quietly disappeared, NAB is going full stream ahead!

+
+If you're heading to NAB, I would HIGHLY recommend heading to **Post|Production World**.
+
+Sadly, I won't be making the trek to NAB this year - both for cost and safety reasons, given the current state of the world.
+
+I'm ASSUMING this is similar reasons why the **FCP Creative Summit** has been delayed or cancelled all-together.
+
+Based on the years that I've been, a large portion of the FCP Creative Summit attendees and presenters were from overseas, and I think travelling anywhere, let alone the USA in the current climate is a lot more challenging than it was a year ago.
+
+I also think, with Apple's recent MotionVFX acquisition, the Apple team probably isn't entirely sure of timelines for product releases - it's probably all still an evolving work-in-progress.
+
+I do however expect to see SOME kind of announcement about Final Cut Pro and MotionVFX at NAB - what exactly I have no idea.
+
+As I've written on FCP Cafe, I would be REALLY surprised if Apple just add all of MotionVFX's collection to Apple Creator Studio.
+
+It's POSSIBLE they might just move all the **MotionVFX DesignStudio** elements to Apple Creator Studio:

+
+It'll be interesting to see if they keep **mExtension** or if they just include all the Motion Templates as optional downloads in the Effects/Transitions/Titles/Generator Browsers, like they currently do on both Mac and iPad.

+Either way, NAB will be interesting times!
