BBC adopts FCP X for news editing
-
For sure if you are going to start you have to start somewhere I absolutely agree. But I would imagine usage will progress from there if people WANT to use it for other genres.
Are they running Premiere on Macs or PCs a Media City please Aindreas?
-
I’ve heard it’s been used on “Focus” with Will Smith coming out early next year I believe. I suspect by the end of 2015 there be more Hollywood features cut on FCPX. It’ll be a small number but it’ll gain acceptance as a viable long form narrative solution.

It just got a few degrees cooler. It will only freeze over if I subscribe and that will never happen!

Remember kids, tracks are you friends when you charge by the hour. Track Tetris, game on!

I was going to ask the same question. I read somewhere a scenario where one decided not to renew and therefore lost access to all the projects created thus far.
But that can’t be true surely.

[Steve Connor] “I genuinely can’t understand why people are denying themselves a suite of very useful tools, just because it’s subscription only.”
A. Because a large swath of the “suite of very useful tools” (as good as they are) are often totally unnecessary or unwanted for many editors. So is “suite access” a big deal if you only really use 3 of the programs?
B. Because you end up paying about 1.5 times the price PER YEAR – for every year of your career – for access to the editing excellence that you would have paid for just once to own in FCP X.
C. Because while X doesn’t have every capability that PPro CC Cloud has, there’s very little missing ( a thing that can be said the other direction as well to be fair) plus if some of us feel the that core of X – database driven editing – is the killer difference. Also, if you can’t mentally give up fixed tracks – then you can’t happily use X. But if you can, then you get a fresh new approach to editing that many of us really love.
and finally,
D. Subscription transfers power and standing in the transaction away from the buyer and towards the seller – something many of us are loath to accept.That’s me speaking for me. YMMV.

James,
It’s true. You’d have to start a new subscription to open old projects.
