Apple FCPX or Not: The Debate

[Herb Sevush]

[Paul Jay] “How long will this debate go on?”

Till the end of time, or till the Jets win the super bowl, which ever comes first; and I’m not betting on the boys in green.

[Paul Jay] “Merge this one and the ‘FCPX Techniques’ into ONE forum. “

I don’t think it wise to subject the nice folk on the techniques forum to the periodic rantings of Aindreas, it might prove traumatic.

And finally, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, which applies not only to the name of this forum but to the very subject of this forum’s dialogue.

Periodically there are calls to rename this debate forum. Every time the cry is to leave it alone. There is already an FCPX technique forum so go there if you are a FCPX user who doesn’t want to debate comparative NLEs.

Where else can the relative merits of different systems be openly debated with such passion, bias and poor analogy?

I’m sorry if someone is forcing you to visit this forum. Perhaps you’d be better off just ignoring this one and spending all your time in FCPX Techniques instead?

You left out the bad spelling.

There will be schools of philosophy built on the forum.
Some of us are proponents of Xism for example. There will be splinters into differentiating thoughts such as the X paradigmers and X pragmatists. We will have such schools named after the proponents and wikipedia pages about us.

Later will come the Neo Xers.

sweet jesus no. i’m barely able to raise a rage post here at this point. I think I’m entering FCPX rant menopause.

plus that’s a pretty full on update from apple. They’re delivered rather a ton of stuff there – I’ve got to go from 10.8 to 8.2 to go from .5 to .6 my mac tells me, and I duly will.

If only to stare at the (sort of) source monitor.

Also – PIOP!
my **Good God** the threads that ran on that. there has to be 20,000 words just on that on this forum.

And Apple did sit down and figure that whole thing out.

Didn’t Hodgetts say PIOP would break the second law of thermodynamics or something?

tee hee.

Still – any forum that brawls on the semantics and meaning of persistence and user action in cut points like a university debating society on crack has to have some merit.

“Xism” does that mean I’m an Xist?

I just want to plug my program, tonight on BBC Two, Sam Mendes A License to Thrill. 1/2 hour special on the director of the new Bond Film SkyFall. 10pm. After a great first trial on FCPX for the Culture Show I decided to cut this special in fcp7. Mainly because I was quite ill at the beginning of the edit and I feared I would have to hand the edit over to another editor. Unfortunately we have no other editors on our team that can cut in FCPX. Thankfully I finished the cut this morning (very early). And next week I’m back in FCPX for the magazine program. How cool will my suites look with the new iMacs and hopefully ( an equally thin 2nd screen in the future) running FCPX . Loving this new mac world.
