10.2.3 Update is here
-
I’m also guessing that IF Apple gets to putting a Roles based mixer in FCPX, we will have to agree that it’s a hard thing to have figured out in a trackless timeline, but if done well, in my humble opinion, could be a proof that trackless gets you a lot of advantages above a tracked timeline, and not a lot of disadvantages.

If Apple treats the “Car OS” like they have FCP-X, me thinks Elon has nothing to worry about!

LOL Mark!!
Now seriously. We have tested the new release on quite a big X-SAN and on a fast modern collaboration system (ShareStation Enterprise). In our experience, opening Libraries on the SAN has improved considerably. We also noticed improved waveform generation speed on very long files on both systems. So I think we should see this as a bug fix and performance update, preceding a feature update that will probably be tied to El Capitan.
We also should be aware of the fact that, in any software development setup, different people can be working on totally different aspects of the application at the same time. It is highly probable that, while this bug fix update was being prepared by a small part of the team, others have already been working on new features for some time. And these features will be released on a later date. Whenever that is, I really would encourage them not to hastily add new features just for the sake of it. We all have witnessed to what this can lead…
FCP X isn’t feature-complete yet, far from. And I’m pretty sure that the FCP X product management isn’t thinking any differently. At this time, performance and stability are very important selling-points for FCP X. I can only hope they will keep concentrating on these points, while adding new features that will be useful for a majority of their user base. I absolutely endorse leaving the development of specialized features to third-party developers. This adds special functionality for those who really need it, without bloating the code and sacrificing overall performance or stability.

6 months? Wasn’t it las April?

Depends on what you take as update. The last big feature release was april last year. The last minor update, and update in general, was last september.

It’s amazing what passes for a “big feature release” these days… 🙂

Shooting out if state starting in 3 days and too busy to play much – so I’ll let Charlie Austin say it for me… https://fcpxpert.net/2016/02/05/fcp-x-update-reaction-have-some-cheese-with-your-whine/
For a tool probably used by 2 million editors now, no matter what apple does its never going to be enough for some observers and even players.
As much as I want bold upgrades – I DO NOT want to risk what I have right now – a dependable go-to tool that hasn’t let me down in many, many months. I fully expect that after my Tues/Wed shoot – I’ll have a database of filtered selects and favorites and ALL the crap from those 2 shooting days rejected when I touch down on Wed night.
I love added features. But right now – with lots of work in the queue – and LOTs of pulls on my time, dependability beats added features.
YMMV
Totally bummed I’ll be shooting during the Virtual Users Group Webcast. Dang it!

I hear they have, and “FCP X In The Car” is the next frontier! In all seriosity, I really doubt that X is in stasis. 🙂

Careful Bill, you are treading close to ‘get off my lawn’ territory. 😉

Well…. If you’re going to be shooting your epic with the back-up camera, you’ve got to have the suitable NLE!
