Apple FCPX or Not: The Debate

[Jeremy Garchow]

[craig slattery] ” Loving this new mac world.”

Shh. If your computer doesn’t double as space heater, you might not be a professional.

[craig slattery] “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. “

You probably just made a wannabe FCPX freelancer cry.

[craig slattery] “we have no other editors on our team that can cut in FCPX”

Well gosh dern it, show ’em your priclessnes! …And inspire someone else to dive in.

Another vote for leave as is. This is one of the most vibrant debating forums on the Cow, and where else am I going to find posts from Aindreas that make me laugh so hard coffee comes out of my nose?

BTW Craig, great job on the Skyfall programme. Thouroughly enjoyed it – and good to hear that FCPX is making inroads in to broadcast in the UK. I’d love to cut some broadcast stuff on it, but the Beeb down here are a bit wedded to Avid for that…

Craig, he said he was very sick; when that happens, you feel like you’re gonna die, so on his deathbed, in his weakened state, he fell back to where he felt safe. Just illustrates how bad it was for him then, not a rational move but you have to forgive him this one lapse in judgment because he really wasn’t himself.

Jason, I’m only freelance at the beeb, but I made a lot of positive noise about FCPX and simply said I want to start cutting in it. You can do the same, they should, and to be fair, do listen to their valued craft editors. Good luck with it
