10 Things Steve Martin wants in FCP X

[Charlie Austin]

[Helmut Kobler] “but in general, the interface is not spry.”

This is annoying, but were you cutting with the inspector open? I find that keeping it closed makes X run like butter. Open, not so much. Hope they sort this out…

Charles, I was indeed cutting with the Inspector open. I’ll try with it closed but that’s a horrible “solution” since I use the inspector all the time.

Thanks for the tip though!

I agree, If you do notice a difference, please send feedback to Apple. Honestly, CMD-4 is my most used keystroke 🙂

Talking points in Adobe demo’s would be my guess?

Close your eyes and you can almost hear the email zinging around the Premier team HQ.

[Bill Davis] “Which of the major practical functions which are baked into the DNA of X (that I mentioned by specific description) do YOU think is worth trading away to get “better key framing” or one of the other elements mentioned in this thread?

Is Import from iMovie baked into the DNA of X? ‘Cause I’m sure a lot of people would be okay if the energy that went into making Import from iMovie went into just about anything other than Import from iMovie. 😉

Honestly. Which one is more important as a speed enhancer than magnetism? Or the Event Browser. Or keyword collections?”

Isn’t this a context sensitive question? I mean, some projects might require a lot of prep and organization and very little key framing while others require like prep and organization but live and die by key frames. No one NLE can be everything to everybody so I’m glad that we have, and hope that we will continue to have, a lot of competition in the NLE market.

I’ll listen in rapt anticipation. “

Why would you need to trade away things in order to get basic functions back into FCP X?

[Bill Davis] ” Talking points in Adobe demo’s would be my guess?”

Fanciful supposition(!) but in truth Adobe focuses on presenting what we are doing for our customers based on constant feedback from said customers as well as observations on trends, new technology, emerging workflows, etc.

There is in fact no longer an import from iMovie. You have to send to FCP from within iMovie. Yep. We have no send to Motion, but we have send to FCP from iMovie.
