Coremelt’s SliceX is awesome

Not sure I agree with this.

The subset of Motion already expressed in the X titler is plenty for most users. Being able to work directly in Motion and express the result right to the Title library – and being able to re-open the Motion file IN MOTION for further refinement with just an option double click within X is enough, IMO.

I’d hate to see X take the path of trying to be a one size fits all solution if that means they build into it massive complexity that sits idle for most of it’s core users.

And trying to integrate those thousands of actions and spline options in Motion directly into the code of X would be a huge mistake in my judgement. YMMV.

Okay Bill, I’ll grant you that; a compromise would be the ability to send clips, compound clips, or secondary story lines to motion with all timing and attributes intact. Can I crave that?

Totally with ya Don.

Yeah, it seems that some are overlooking the real news here – we finally have trackable masks. That’s been on the top of my list regarding FCPX color correcting. You couldn’t animate the points of any masks as they are made in X, we just wanted to be able to move them with subjects after they’re created.

This is a really big plus from my perspective. Another big negative checked off the list.

I’m glad someone else sees it that way as well.

I find this little plugin really powerful, and amazingly fast and capable. I know we have talked about building custom plugin interfaces in FCPX before, and although this is still an on screen control, its really well done and cool.

I love it. It really does feel like it’s a part of FCPX and not a plugin or filter.

You’re not reaally THAT old are you Jeremy?

Next you’ll be asking Apple to bring back Bruce and posting pictures of your 1984 original Mac…

Like I did here!!!

I forgot an “are”. 🙁

I can’t see the zip file here. I’ll check it later.

Now, if we could also keyframe the color corrections…
