For sure. I actually have PP CS6 so I’ll be delving into that before too long. I guess I’m getting my feet wet in editing with FCPX. Since good editing isn’t dependent on any particular NLE, I don’t suppose it matters what I start with.

OMG, you’re right! Being in the marketing business, I should know that out of context quotes are always used! Here. I edited it for clarity. 🙂
“well, if i were in love with the creaky old interface and fiddly controls of FCP 7, Pr would be the logical choice. ”

Each time the balance of opinion from the forum stalwarts is that the name change is not important and after a few days new posters get into the swing. The quirky name, born from a moment two years ago, becomes irrelevant until a new poster raises the same issue and we shrug and move on.
If it mattered the name would have been changed long ago.”
So if it confuses new users to the forum what does that tell you about the name? I’ve actually been reading these forums for a while now (I just don’t have a lot to contribute) and I still don’t think the name is accurate. It’s all about effective communication. Of course old forum users don’t care because they know what goes on in here. The title isn’t for them. It’s for people scouring the hundreds and hundreds of megabytes 😉 of information on the internet looking for what they need. Whether you think it matters or not, FCPX or Not is not an accurate description of what is discussed in here most the of time. I don’t lose sleep over it. That’s just what I think about it.

Oh, wait, that was sarcasm. Lemme find a picture of that… hold on… 😉

Do people who are thinking of using it require different information from those who are already using it? I would think the best place to get info would be from those who are already putting it through its paces, rather from other people like me who are interested but don’t have much first hand experience.”
Yes, if you were actually looking for Premiere info it would be logical to go the Premiere forum. This forum is for those folks who are still resistant to the fact that a lot of editors are using FCPX for Pro work (and that for better or worse we will be living in a fractured NLE world for a long time),… and there are a good number of lookyloos like me that can’t turn away from the spectacle of it all.

April 12, 2013 at 1:02 amIf you follow this YouTube link about the SNARK, also have a look at the USAF training film entitled “Ejection Decision”. It provides some very entertaining advice about when to bail. That is…. early.
I also don’t understand the enthusiasm for Speedgrade. Seems kind of dead in the water. I even went back over to some of the booths that were still running Resolve 9 and amazingly, even it felt a little bit clunky compared to the 10 release… so I will be bailing on 9, the second 10 is released.
And although I own Creative Suite, its very unlikely that Speedgrade will ever even be booted on my system. One issue is the Blackmagic non-support for Video I/O, but really, even the somewhat enthusiastic show floor demo was ??????? uh…. that’s it?????? Not even “meh”…. it can aspire to “meh.”

It has certainly been a slow uptake.
How many video pros so you know has the $4,000 nvidia daughter card to properly run SpeedGrade?
I know exactly zero.
But that being said, I’ve kept my eye on it, and Adobe is working hard at it.
There are many things I like about it, functionally as a grading system, and some areas (like import and export!) need some help.
I see that Adobe is taking steps to get SpeedGrade connected in to the suite.
I’m sure it will only get better.
Resolve 10 sounds good too.
