FCP User guide
The Wipster integration for Final Cut Pro has two main parts:
The Wipster Desktop App - Used to login to your account, and navigate your Wipster Project Library to locate media with comments you wish to sync with Final Cut Pro
The Final Cut Pro workflow extension - Displays comments from the synced media and moves the Final Cut playhead to the timestamp of a selected comment, so you know the exact moment the feedback applies to. Allows you to reply to comments and mark tasks as complete from within FCP.
