Shhhh!
We’re all busy editing dialogue and I just grabbed the bull by the….

Indeed. Maybe the bee pit isn’t that bad after all.

It might look something like this. Gets interesting at around 2:30.

Probably, Tim, because you have such a long and pretty consistent history of arguing X is “deficient” that some of us simply expect it from you. I know you don’t cut on X every day, so i just dont give your opinion that much weight about its suitability for something so individual as dialog cutting. I agree, you surely can’t cut on it the way you prefer. Others can and do every day. Your needs or just preferences may be much more sophisticated than theirs. Or not. But so what?

Those “it sucks and any REAL editor knows it” posts sound to me mostly like sour grapes today.

I read them in the tone of a grumpy neighbor who complains every time I see them about how totally incompetent the “government” is in all things – then really freaks out when their social security check doesn’t arrive on the 3rd of the month like it has every month for the past 20 years. It makes me chuckle.

Personally, I’m “head down” studying for my 3rd Apple FCP X formal certification in advance of a lucerative short-term summer contract teaching the program to the in-house editing staff of a local inter-agency government group. That will kick off my summer nicely..

Combine that with the new Library Manager 2.0 update from Artic Whiteness that hit last week – essentially giving me what amounts to a subset of Disk Catalog JUST for my distributed X Libraries – and I couldn’t be happier heading into another FCP X “summer of fun.”.

I feel for those struggling (like my July clients who are watching their Legacy systems having more and more problems) and feeling extra blessed not only that I left all that behind 3 years ago – but that now I get to help them do the same.

In any group photo – I’m likely the editor who’s ahead of schedule and smiling these days. That’s enough for me.

OK, I’ll bite. 🙂 What specifically do you not like about it?

Here ya go, Charlie: “Well, it’s not like FCP7, of course!”

When I see a post like this I think two things:

1. Just doesn’t get it.
2. Never really tried.

How’s that?

It was a joke, Bill. Like any other tool I have, I use it if it fits the job.

Andreas,

Help me out here. Am I supposed to be the crocodile, the plover, or the wildebeest?

I think I relate mostly to the person who wrote this “Story”. The writer takes a dwindling mud puddle and turns it into a wonderful, dramatic life or death struggle with characters and conflicts as clear as any Shakespearian play. Great stuff. By the way, I think it was edited on film!!! 🙂
