[Robin S. Kurz] “Of course not. Spoken as a true, 110% solipsist. No surprises there.”
I’m aware others exist, it’s just that when their values are so skewed from mine their is little I can glean from their opinions. Similar to how I think anyone who posts on technical forums using emoticons, and isn’t 14 years old, shouldn’t be taken seriously.
[Robin S. Kurz] “Oh the irony!! ???? Seeing that the FCP’s primary storyline has often been described as the “spine” of one’s edit. Which makes the “nothin’ attached to nothin'” look even funnier.”
There’s nothing ironic about it, its causal.
6 years ago, when this forum started and X was but a seed, part of the explanation for how FCPX was supposed to work was that the “spine” of the edit should be placed on the primary storyline. Franz Bieberkopf, who was a major and influential contributor back then, thought that was backwards since “deciding the spine is the process of editing” and how could you chose what to make primary when that information only revealed itself over time. In fairness to Franz, after I started using that line in my posts, he asked if I would drop it because, on reflection, he thought that “deciding the spine” was only one of many processes of editing. I should probably take the attribution away, but I still think it’s a brilliant line and I hesitate to take credit for it.
That line shouldn’t be taken as a critique of the way FCPX actually works — even I, ignorant as I am, understand that moving things in and out of the primary is simple and that X is as fully capable of “revealing the spine” as any other NLE, but it’s my favorite description of the work I do, so sorry Franz, I’m keeping it.

Thank you for admitting it so freely on your own. Brilliant. I think we all know what that’s called. Good luck with that going forward! ????????

Did I imagine it or did you have a line about “his karma clashing with your dogma”?
Really liked it, was going to steal it

“Well…..
Stuff evolves. Emoticons begat emojis.
Now I use emojis to GREAT organizational effect in my FCP X database to visually depict the state of my work in progress.This is how my Projects list now appears when I’m doing VO work on my developing XinTwo series. I have 100+ scripts/VOs to manage and knowing at a glance which is complete and at what state the rest currently are in is pretty MAJORLY useful when I need to exit my client work and pick up the baton again.
YMMV.

There is a great kernel of truth hidden somewhere in there.
Perhaps – “If Dogma catches Karma – what then?”

[Jason Watson] “There are lots of the same sorts of things available for Premiere; it’s easy to find LUT’s, color correction presets, templates, titles, effects, etc., all of which work directly in Premiere.”
I’d say you missed the entire core of what I was describing. I’m not just talking simple templates and presets. This is a WHOLE other ball o’ wax, sorry.
[Jason Watson] “Lumetri Color tool is a stand-out feature in regards to something built-in to the NLE”
There are a plethora of 3rd party CC tools for X that can certainly hold their own. Not just one. And that for just a tiny fraction of the cost. In other words for less than even a few months of the Adobe CC ransom… erm, subscription. So yeah, apples and oranges.
