“Adobexit”, switching from PPro to FCPX

[Andy Patterson]

[Scott Witthaus] “No thank you. Focus on a new title tool please. Or the tilde bug.”

You want FCPX to work on a new title tool or Premiere? If Premiere Pro what features are missing in Premiere Pro’s titling tool from FCPX titling tool?

I also don’t want plugins. The price of FCPX prior to plugins $299.99. After plugins $960.00.

FCP has an export to YouTube option. So does Premiere. And it has been there for a while. So what? One thing that can be very handy for many professionals, is the ftp upload on export in Premiere. I believe they also have a box.com and/or Dropbox upload in there as well. It isn’t some flashy, style over substance, pointless feature. You can send your final edit to a client after hours when the transcode is finished and you aren’t even there. It is a great feature.

[Scott Witthaus] “No thank you. Focus on a new title tool please. Or the tilde bug.”

So… don’t use it? I’m sure the PPro team is big enough that multiple things can be worked on at one time. ???? I think I’ve used the existing publish to Vimeo/YT/FB feature exactly once in the last 3-ish years I’ve been using PPro, but just because it’s a wasted feature on me doesn’t mean it’s a wasted feature in general.

Many times in this forum people have lamented the devs focusing on the relatively small, but high profile, TV/film part of the industry and this new Publishing Tool obviously caters to a much broader (and growing) audience but the complaints keep coming. 😉

[andy patterson] “Your own work and data? You don’t have to use the storage options of the CC service. “

Do tell: how many CC PPro and AE projects do you have access to once you opt out of the ol’ subscription to maybe switch elsewhere or figure having already paid thou$and$ to date is enough? How about InDesign, or maybe Lightroom? Hmmmm…

I wasn’t even thinking of the online storage options, but thanks for doubling down on my point. ????

[andy patterson] “Having said that even if they had the CS 12.5 Master Collection on DVD for $299.99 and only $49.99 for the upgrades (DVDs) you still wouldn’t buy it “

Right. Never mind that I bought every iteration of the CS there ever was. ???? You know me so well. Clearly.

[andy patterson] “because you hate Adobe and I can prove it. “

Huh?? What the… ????
Oh, but please, do. Can’t wait.

[andy patterson] “There was no activation prior to CC.”

LOL… right. Silly me. I was just imagining things.

Don’t click those. They’re clearly fake Adobe pages. You’re of course right. I’m just making it up because I so totally hate Adobe. Damn. You got me. ????

[andy patterson] “I could talk out my arse”

I’m sorry…could?

Thanks for the expert insight. Keep it up. ????????

I don’t mind Premiere having that social panel, i really don’t.
However, I DO mind a bug that makes the multicam timeline play constantly even when you hit stop or a bug that constantly regenerates the thumbs in the bin. And there were many others or others…If these very obvious bugs live within the software for several versions and all you see is new social panels then I do mind it. That’s my main critique

[Guille Ibanez] “I don’t mind Premiere having that social panel, i really don’t. “

I for one love the social media integration in Final Cut Pro X, since I upload a lot of clips to both Youtube and Vimeo and the amount keeps growing. Without the direct access via the respective APIs you’d be left having to re-enter absolutely everything online after your upload in terms of various infos and metadata. Data that I have already long completed in FCP, mostly with automated custom metadata sets. This way I just enter it once, everything from description, genre, tags, episode etc. etc. and upload. Everything is retained. And if there’s a correction, rinse and repeat. I’ve had to upload 50+ clips at once and if I had had to go in afterwards to re-enter all the information… wow. I’m assuming with PPro it’s the same.

[Guille Ibanez] “If these very obvious bugs live within the software for several versions and all you see is new [enter random feature here] then I do mind it.”

A reoccurring theme it would seem, yes. And here I thought I remember there being talk of the whole point being “Keep the revenue stream going month after month after month and we’ll be able to constantly and more quickly update and improve the software!”… hm.

I don’t. Not saying having presets for social sites is a bad thing (at least that’s what I thought I said). If that is your workflow, you can set that up in X as well. However, for Premiere users (albeit it very infrequently in my case) having a new social panel with two-way data flow show up while old bugs still exist and new bugs show up is very frustrating, to the point of the OP leaving the software to move to another platform.

and release buggy updates because the devs are under pressure to add features regularly

[Steve Connor] “and release buggy updates because the devs are under pressure to add features regularly”

Yupp. Apparently they have their priorities rather mixed up. The PR dept. probably doesn’t think bug fixes are anywhere near as sexy. Or maybe they think “squashing a bug” means piling more and more stuff on top until it suffocates on its own? ????

Say what you will about FCP’s supposed “lacking” feature-set (whatever someone thinks that could be), but what it does it does well and at least in my case very solidly. Can’t personally think of any bug worth mentioning that has survived more than maybe two updates.

Mine too, stability has been one of the many reasons it’s my primary edit tool, it’s let me down far less than any other NLE I’ve used in the past
