[Scott Sheriff] “That is funny that you say that. When I read some of the posts complaining about the old timers and how we are afraid of the revolution that’s coming, I picture a 20-something hipster, sitting alone, wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt, in a trendy urban coffee shop, typing it on an ipad, while his Macbook has a vimeo of some unheard of band going on it.”

[Gerald Baria] “no one is successful except Apple.”
Yeahhh ummm
According to this weeks Nielsen ratings Android devices account for 11% more of the post paid mobile market than iOS devices.
Pretty sure it was the combo of the two that put the WebOs out of the picture…

New=new but it doesn’t always = better.
Second, what ISP do you have that the rest of us don’t know about? The fastest non-commercial ISP I have found only has 2.0 mBps upload speeds (FYI the advertised speeds are DOWNLOAD speeds). That’s slower that USB 1.0 and it has taken 10 years to get that fast! Why would I want to have to wait a week for all my footage to upload to “the cloud” before I can edit it? Apple will probably claim it as their property once it’s on their servers anyhow! HA!

[Scott Sheriff] “Could be any or all of these:
On camera mic for audio.
No tripod.
No lights.
No proper workstation with reference monitors for audio/video.
No office, just a noisy coffee shop for client meetings.

[Glen Hurd] “Would anyone suggest that a newb with a cheaper camera is a threat to someone established with his F3 or Red? “
Well in our country, I have been seeing a spike on documentaries, ads, and shows being done by small production groups of 20-somethings using go-pros DSLRs and iMacs, and the quality has never been better. Our wedding videographers armed with 5DMKIIs and 60Ds and 7Ds dominate WEVA awards every year. Yes they could have hired those with F3s or REDs but why should they if theses smaller guys are more cost effective…and generally more creative with their outputs.

Yikes! Most of my clients are watching the videos we make on large LCD and Plasma TVs which exist in the ATSC (read HDTV) color space. Computer monitors do not accurately display what the product will look like on those displays because they have a different color space. Additionally, computer GPUs are designed to drive monitors. Most video playback devices like a blu-ray player or a JPEG 2000 broadcast server output video in a completely different fashion.

[Gerald Baria] “So rude.”
Man up.
Every one of those are from posts where the person was saying how unnecessary those things are, and bragging how they don’t need them to do high quality work. Often in the context of those that think these are essentials must be elitists.
If you look in this forum, Art of edit, FCP, and business and marketing they can be found in quantity.Scott Sheriff

Wow..those are the most noobs of the noobs. Maybe 1 week old newbies who have absolutely no idea or interest in this field prior to plunging in. Never been to those sections, point taken.

OK. I think I understand you.
Where I am, cheap gear and cheap editing solutions have been around for what seems like a long time. Yes, it keeps getting better. And so does the “pro” gear. But FCP X at $300 is not going to start a new revolution. We’ve already had it. It was already cheap at $1000.So instead of competing with the wedding/event people – who must number in the millions now – some of us choose to compete where clients have more demanding expectations. And in that climate of expanding expectations, FCP X fails because it does not allow me to deliver what my clients want. If you are seeing an increase in documentaries in your area, are they airing on television? If so, those people producing those documentaries need to meet certain standards set by the stations. And FCP X doesn’t let us check those standards as we edit. That’s a big problem for most of us.
If your clients are not asking for more than FCP X can deliver, then you are lucky. Use FCP X. Enjoy it – whatever. But if your clients start to ask for more, or you decide you want to move into more difficult teritory, then FCP X will have to be replaced – and you will have to learn a whole new workflow.
Is that really what you want to do? Or do you trust Apple that much?

Maybe we are all wrong and this is the future: Think avatar,rise of planet of the apes. All it needs are realike images.
Maybe films in the future could be made like music using loops.
