[Franz Bieberkopf] “The forum generally suffers from a lack of new points of view (ie attracting new participants).”
If you think this place is bad you should try the creative cloud debate forum. There are fifteen of us playing cribbage at the minute. It got terrifically exciting there recently when Oliver Peters and Walter Soyka got going on a CC cancellation thread. We tried to offer them buns and tea, but they were all like “we left something on the stove”. It was quite awkward.
The argument for a name change feels itunes or something. The name is probably just the name at this point.
Brand value Bieberkopf, you’ve got to consider the inherent brand value.Also, who is actually conducting meta X conversations here is a bit of a question. There was pretty wide ranging stuff on the library recently that feels unlikely to happen in the techniques forum – you could argue that this forum lately belongs as much to an internal dissection and discussion of X as anything else.
And that’s quite readable stuff for people who have no intention of putting the time in.
out of all the editing systems, X feels easily the one most likely to deliver a genuine surprise. Apple are capable of anything at this point. he said agnostically.
If, that is, they ever get their ass in gear.
Given they are now basically advertising 4-10,000 dollar hardware with X as the poster boy, you might think they could possibly try another year of seriously accelerated growth. We could get a triangular colour wheel. Anything could happen.https://vimeo.com/user1590967/videos http://www.ogallchoir.net promo producer/editor.grading/motion graphics

There’s nothing we can’t argue about on the FCPX COW Forum

[Aindreas Gallagher] “The argument for a name change feels itunes or something.”
Aindreas, don’t get me started on iTunes.
[Aindreas Gallagher] “you could argue that this forum lately belongs as much to an internal dissection and discussion of X as anything else.”
Recent posts on the 10.1 “restructuring” release and the Mac Pro have been interesting – I find the library vs. event question of particular interest (I think of it as another “symptom”, but I was holding my tongue on that.)
[Aindreas Gallagher] “If you think this place is bad you should try the creative cloud debate forum […] you’ve got to consider the inherent brand value.”
I was going to do one of my archival digs, but I’ll throw out this opinion unsupported instead: the range and dynamics of discussion has been better here (in this forum) in the past.
I think the forum is, and will be increasingly, “ghettoized” in terms of contributions. The “brand” of “FCPX or Not” will yield diminishing returns.
It may well be that the future of this forum is as an additional conversation for those using X – I’m just saying that I see (or saw) potential for something more.
The CC Debate forum is a corollary example – I keep it in view, but my own opinion on that subject (shared, I think, by those who contribute there) is that Adobe has utterly failed to engage with the issue (in clear violation of public statements), and the only factors that weigh on their decision-making will be revenue streams, sales targets, and maybe executive retirements. So there’s not much to say until the waiting game plays out (as David Lawrence occasionally reminds us).
But those issues are part of the larger landscape of questions and answers facing editors and others in post – they’re part of a larger conversation – and this forum has, at times, felt a bit more freely engaged with many, many such issues, occasionally in glorious pandemonium (such as can be achieved in type).
I think that conversation might already be lost here, except in fits and starts, but I do try for optimism.
[Aindreas Gallagher] “X feels easily the one most likely to deliver a genuine surprise.”
The surprise factor … I’m not sure that’s a virtue (for editing software). But you never know.
Franz.
