Anybody HAPPY?

[Oliver Peters] “That’s a good thing, but it also goes to the heart of this forum. For over two years, many have complained about poor design choices based on overturning 100 years of editing principles. Apple certainly presented their approach as “trust us, we know better”. Maybe Cupertino is a bit more humbled after all of this.”
Isn’t all they’ve done here is to finally throw away the crutches of the original iMovie design – which is the reason we had the Events + Projects model in the first place?

LOL. I doubt it!
[Simon Ubsdell] “Libraries are just what was called for – hardly the most imaginative thing but very welcome nonetheless. They’ve already saved me a lot of time.”
What I find stunning, is that no one figured out at the design stage that this is how it should have been in the first place. Especially considering that’s what they did in Aperture.

See my point above – it was what is was because the design was entirely lifted from iMovie …
I don’t there was much questioning of the model at that point in time.

Meaning, internally, the “editors” lost and the “engineers” won. Probably as simple as Steve saying, “Randy, make it so.”

That interpretation would certainly make the most sense of how it has all panned out.
Design by diktat is sometimes exactly what’s needed and sometimes …

[Simon Ubsdell] “The UI still feels sludgy and swathed in undesirable chrome though – did the dancing dot really have to animate?”
I wish you could control which layer the ball animates to.
This would bring yet another selection option, a la, Autodesk Smoke.
Great artists steal, etc….

Yep. At least now there is some hope that the Editors are ascendant. They just need to turn on the damn playhead to playhead replace function, fulfill the promise of Roles, remove some molasses from the UI, rework the media browser (iMovie’s is nice) let you drag the video animation panel past the clip boundaries, and put iMovie style templates in so I don’t have to do anything but click on random shots and it edits for me.
Then I’ll really be happy. 😉

I’ve actually found the dancing dot to be a nice feature – apart from the dancing part.
It’s odd that the whole flatter UI aesthetic hasn’t yet permeated through to getting rid of this type of silly animation chrome.
