BVE Expo in the UK
Went to BVE in London today, a much smaller scale version of NAB, couldn’t help noticing that there were a number of FCPX seminars running that were VERY well attended including a couple by Larry Jordan where there were a large amount of people. Certainly a lot of interest around it at least.

I’ve also heard the FCPX seminars are packed.
You know no one is using FCPX and absolutely no one is professionally interested in it either. 😉
It must a lot of “soccer pops” interested in cutting videos for their footballer kids.
Curious if you’re seeing “X” on the show flow and in who’s booths? -

So if you’re a sports shooter in the UK you might not be able to talk about that here 😉 On the other hand baseball analogies are OK.

Just one stand, saw PPro on a few though, not so much Avid!

went to go see Ken Livingstone talk at the LSE instead!
the man is a classic – was there much PPro did you see?
– heard Trish Meyer was doing some stuff? (more AE combo hard core likely – tad sorry I missed it in retrospect…)

More than any other NLE that’s for sure

I know I pound the drum – but I really am hearing it rather a bit lately – the freelance agencies are starting to drop FCP7/Premiere 6 as a list combo a few times?
you would have to think there’s a fair few people dropping hooks in the water for PPro adoption the last couple of months. It’s careful monkey jungle business this – everyone’s looking to see what the other is doing – but there’s definitely a developing taste for offering PPro.

BVE was full of students to be honest. The biggest draw I saw was how to get your content onto YouTube.
Adobe had the biggest stand, but Avid’s was no slouch. Apple had no stand at all but FCPx was on the Soho Editors (who charge for training) stand, along with Smoke. Did I mention they make money from training?
I’m v. impressed with FCPx but do not think it is taking London by storm. Big places are not going to go Apple in a hurry any time soon. I will try and move some work onto it when I get the chance, so I can give it more of a run for the money, but that is going to have to be with a good client. (I think I’m more likely to get a CMX Omni, Editware or Paltex request in the next 6 months than an FCPx one.)
Avid were showing Interplay Central (web browser) and Interplay Sphere (works with MC) remotely with media at Pinewood, concurrently having demos from the same media at a couple of places in Europe. This is not a cheap option.
Adobe were showing Anywhere with the server on a laptop under the stand. They say they are rolling it out for LANs only at the moment.
Both are quite interesting concepts that are now coming along…
Of course Quantel were showing this with QTube between Amsterdam and Newbury a couple of years ago and were nowhere to be seen…

“Thursday afternoon is student day I’m afraid. I had a chat with a high-up person in the media dept at Bournemouth University, they’ve switched from FCP7 to Avid.

[Trevor Asquerthian] “BVE was full of students to be honest.”
So FCPX is the future.
[Trevor Asquerthian] “The biggest draw I saw was how to get your content onto YouTube.”
The future of distribution (maybe).
[Trevor Asquerthian] “Apple had no stand at all but FCPx was on the Soho Editors (who charge for training) stand, along with Smoke. Did I mention they make money from training?”
Which may mean there’s an interest in learning.
[Trevor Asquerthian] “Big places are not going to go Apple in a hurry any time soon.”
I’d agree. That’s why I think it will be young people. Future video post entrepreneurs. It’ll happen by attrition.
[Trevor Asquerthian] “(I think I’m more likely to get a CMX Omni, Editware or Paltex request in the next 6 months than an FCPx one.)”
Ha, I started at a facility that had CMX 340 and Datatron before it was sold to Paltex. Hmm, maybe Paltex was the FCPX of linear systems.

Did they buy Isis? Were they looking at Interplay?
