Apple and Adobe Software: Together
-
I don’t want to sell you on any idea — as for the x number of improvements on FCP X — that’s pretty funny — the “updates” were to get it close to parity with the product apple had previously sold and then abandoned – Apple is in the HARDWARE business – they use the software to entice you to buy beefier hardware. That’s why you get the updates for free.

[Bill Davis] “Absolutely. Which of course means that X would have a MUCH easier time accurately re-creating a HUGE percentage of the television ads, movie trailers and promo videos we all see every day. “
Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t there 3rd party plugins that use the 3D text ‘engine’ (for lack of a better term) in FCP X to allow users to work with other things in 3D, not just text? This keeps with the ‘FCP X as a platform’ direction that was talked about when X first launched. It seems like 3D text was the low hanging fruit feature that Apple provided, but FCP X has more 3D capabilities than that if 3rd parties want to tap into them.

An obvious non sequitur.”
Ah Robin, you do cause me great mirth. I am sure like all editors that you can stitch dubious relationships together to create an entertaining story. But I suspect you prefer the art of trailers where dialog lines are taken out of context to create tension. Keep up the good work.

For heaven’s sake please don’t tell me you’re one of those guys who looks down on the ancillary niche editors with distain?
Movie editors who knock news editors – who would knock trailer editors – who would knock corporate editors – who would then turn around and knock wedding editors should ALL know better.
One of our local big time TV anchor women got married in a VERY high profile ceremony. And of course the in-house team pitched in to shoot edit HER wedding. It was AWFUL. Yeah the cuts were competent – but they missed half the important stuff and it was FLAT and totally uninteresting. Hint: 3 shoulder mounted Betacams weilded by guys used to covering car crashes and getting a 35 second slot on the nightly news does NOT a competent event shooter make.
Honest work is honest work. And I know a whole bunch of wedding folk who can hold their own with some of the so called “professional” shooters I’ve worked with. And they do it week after week under huge pressure covering “once in a lifetime” no do-over events.
And those trailer guys?
I wonder how many tens of millions of dollars they’ve generated over time for otherwise misfired movies that needed the boost so that the filmmakers can come back and try again? It’s not hard to make a great movie look enticing in 30 seconds. But to help somebody’s project generate enough to maybe get a second chance when the footage you’re working with doesn’t have all that much sparkle? That takes talent.
And if it requires somebody with an ear and eye for creating a silk purse trailer out of sows ear footage – you know what I call that?
A good editor. Period.

It’s not about you Bill. Take the blue pill.
I know internet forums are so often plagued by lack of context but really, the only disrespect I intended was for people who take things out of context. Like you just did.
Yawn.

[Dennis Radeke] “I can casually add up about 200 items”
Yes, well, if Apple were to pad their lists with such things as “Back button added”, “Preference to display the end of sequence indicator”, “Search Bins”, every little OpenCL optimization etc. etc., I’m fairly sure their lists would be considerably longer also, yes. And never mind that version 10.1 alone featured hundreds of new features… after the hundreds before that. Most definitely ones of that magnitude. Only not every last gory detail is listed somewhere, since I guess Apple’s not into the “Mine is bigger than yours” game?
[Dennis Radeke] “Broadcast output, tape lay back and a source monitor are all ones that come to mind.”
Of course they are. Whereby we’ll just ignore that those are all features that were added within the first six months of its development cycle. 😀 So maybe listing those points of all things is disingenuous if not simply gratuitous at best? I’d say you’re rather late to that game… so by about 3.5 years. 😉
And yeah, everything ever added was only to get it up to speed with 7. Since, as we all know, X has absolutely nothing unique to show for in terms of features in comparison. Funny how I keep forgetting that. Weird. Almost as if it were a completely fallacious, nonsensical argument.

[Steve Connor] “You can judge for yourselves here”
And again, not nearly all new features etc. are listed. Not even close.
But even so, there are 241 LISTED features, yes.
