A step backwards

[Jeremy Garchow]

No offence to anyone here.

I feel like a lot of the naysaing is from people who don’t really use it.

To those that do use it, Libraries are a very ‘necessary’ part of the equation, and although relatively minor, the adjustments that have been made to the UI are good adjustments.

Also, FXPlug3, if delivered as promised, sounds like it will be good for developers, which is good for users.

And then there’s the increase in performance.

If all of that is moving backwards, I’m an idiot.

I don’t understand your post Jeremy.

I use… it’s all I use.

The Library thing is subjective. You say it’s a good thing… I’m ambivalent on the change.

FXPlug3 is like ObamaCare… nobody knows what it’ll mean until it’s actually here.

Increase in performance? What, with a new MacPro cylinder? I’m not seeing an increase on a current maxed out MacPro. In fact, it’s occasionally a bit more sluggish. Removing the Apple Track Pad seems to have helped a bit (its incompatible), but it’s slower than hell at redrawing waveforms. It wasn’t like that before.

Apparently, I’m the idiot…

I’m an idiot because I keep hitting CMD-0 to bring up projects.

I see this version a very, very, VERY solid framework for moving forward. It has been rock solid for me so far, but admittedly I have tons of testing ahead of me.

There’s no step backwards. As with any update there are little things here or there that I’d like to see added or fixed. Happily, I’ve yet to find any deal breakers, show stoppers, or things that would keep me from working just as I have been doing for the past year. If anything, my workflow just got a lot better.

I just learned that you can move multiple keyframes together and also copy/paste them to different attributes. That’s definitely a step forward.

I think the Library function is going to be a major step forward for most facilities to consider FCPX.
I don’t doubt there were a few beta testers that were facilities based.

None taken. I think X is often not understood and considered a toy by some. I used to have that mindset but after working with it I do see potential. Complaints are few and minor on my side of the fence.

The only thing is they need to add other than tracks is the “Send To Motion” option. Given that a lower third, transition, effect and generator can be created in Motion for later use in X is a nice feature. Saves time and is very easy to do. That is a plus in my book.

Color board does not bother me as much since that part of the workflow is done inside of Resolve. Also glad to see the LUT utility available. So there are no curves or color wheel, not a major ordeal since everything gets shipped off to Resolve for that work.

A-fricking-men. The only step backward to me is inability to scrund a project in the browser. Though, based on the fact that opening the 10.0 project library brought my shiny new maxed out mac to a grinding halt, I get why that’s gone for now.

With 10.1 when I navigate to a footage from my XF100, mark all my takes and hit “import” it brings in one clip. Yep, just one clip. So I’d call that a step backwards.

If I import the entire CONTENTS folder it brings in every clip, but then I have to mark the selects (and reject the ones I don’t want) from inside the Event viewer or whatever the hell it’s called now.

That is never going to happen. 🙂 But Roles will get a lot better…

Is that AVCHD? If so, there’s now native support for it.

I haven’t tested, but it has changed.

I told you I was an idiot.

All of these changes I have mentioned are plumbing changes. They are super, non-marketable, non-sexy changes to most people. To some people, though, they are really sexy. It’s a fetish.

This update will bring forward better workflows in more places, and yes, it might take a little while longer.

I am finding that the application does move faster on the same hardware, and it will really become apparent when the new MacPro ships to everyone. Performance, on many levels, seems to be the overall update to 10.1. I know a LOT of people were asking for more or better performance.
