Cool new Adobe stuff to debate…

[Bret Williams]

Yep. One nifty thing has always been the ability to put a Motion project into FCP (legacy included) with certain publishable parameters. Either text or drop zones.

But the difference here is that Adobe is stepping up to the plate and adding features like publishing text, and Apple has lost features like their version of dynamic link, send to motion. It’s been missing for nearly 3 years now. Yikes.

Man they need to address that pronto.

[Bret Williams] “Uh, my FCP X doesn’t change pitch when scrubbing or using JKL.”

It does, but not in the way you think. When you play at 2x speed, the audio plays back at the same pitch as when playing back at 1x speed. FCPX automatically pitch shifts the audio down so that it’s presumably easier to understand.

I think I’d rather have it get higher when it goes faster. I’ve always found that to be more understandable than the choppy sampled sound. I never thought of this as a benefit or a feature. I always thought they were too cheap to make it change pitch when you sped it up. Go figure.

I think what I may try to do this year, as my adobe cc expires in a month, is to just go month to month. An every month I can avoid using Adobe, I’m gonna buy me a nice plugin instead of sending them $80.

[Andy Neil] “I was kinda surprised they didn’t already have that. Hopefully the implementation will be smooth, but from what I could tell it didn’t look all that customizable from within Premiere.”

You’re right, both in that it is long overdue and in that it’s just text replacement.

But I still think it’s an exciting feature. Dynamic Link has always been a one-way street, a way for one Adobe app to send frames to another without a rendered intermediate file. This is the first two-way implementation from Adobe where one app sends data to another and receives rendered frames back. I’ve filed feature requests for more along these lines.

[Dave Jenkins] “[Andy Neil] “”How about Ae being able to create templates featuring text you can edit in Premiere?””

What does this remind me of? Let me think…. Oh yeah FCP 7 & Motion.”

Each year at the SuperMeet Adobe explains their new features, and I turn to my Premiere using friend and say… seriously… they didn’t have that already? We had that in FCP7 (some things even before that).

Hopefully this year they’ll have some things that we can say… wish we had that in FCP X…

Bret I hope you’re just kidding! That is a killer feature in X and huge time saver, but obviously not in your workflow.
