    proper timecode window with multiple user configurable displays.

    some sort of mixer or audio bussing.

    more customization over workspaces – detachable windows/ panels, etc.

    better trim tools mostly missing a two up display when trimming with the KB – 4up when slip/slide with the KB.

    thats all i got for now.

    [Neil Goodman] “better trim tools mostly missing a two up display when trimming with the KB – 4up when slip/slide with the KB.

    How can I forget this one. Major need for this. One of the few things I miss about Avid Media Composer and FCP classic even (although Avid’s was better).

    Kind of surprised that after all these years and the importance of keyboard editing, FCPX trim tool still requires using a mouse to get the two up. Badly needed for trim efficiency.

    As usual, I just want to be surprised by SOMETHING I didn’t expect or conceive before the presentation.

    As useful as all the “known desires” like dupe detection, enhanced trimming etc would be for many, what still sets X apart from its competitors (for me at least) are the things it embodies that changed my thinking about NLEs after so many decades of thinking largely the same way.

    The range-based tagging engine
    Horizontal and vertical magnetism.
    Roles.

    That type stuff.

    My totally uninformed hopes are something either having to do with multi-user collaboration (MAYBE including some user hooks into the database structure?) , or perhaps something related to furthering audio ingest, mixing and export.

    As is widely speculated upon, Apple has been investigating AI, Machine learning, and Virtuality for a while now. So maybe something around those ideas?

    I suspect we’ll know soon, as a substantial update is pretty widely expected at the Creative Summit in a few weeks.

    We’ll see.

    I’m going!

    I would love for some sort of better-integrated, multi-user/editor sharing. As a teacher who uses FCPX and editstock.com to teach some fundamentals of editing, it’d be awesome if we could all work of the same library on a shared network storage.

    Bill,

    Sadly, I’m not going to be at the Creative Summit this year.

    The push back in the Summit date this year put it too close to the Thanksgiving break and I’ll be head down revising first of the year executive team video presentations. I’d risk it since I LOVE the Summit and hate missing it – but my largest client is facing a CEO retirement Jan 1. and our creative team needs to be HUGELY responsive right now, and leaving for that weekend is too risky.

    With luck, people will come away from the Summit this year thinking “Wow, Bill Davis is much thinner, better looking, and smarter than I imagined. Great guy.”????

    So you’ve got the “name baton.”

    Run fast, run well!

    (I am bummed we can’t sit and have a beer! – Maybe at NAB?)

    Aw, that’s too bad. I’ll have to start plotting my 2019 return.

    I’ll try to do our collective name proud! I’m leading a session at the Summit where I talk about using Final Cut Pro X to edit the year-long promotional campaign for Ken Burns’s “The Vietnam War.” And yes, I used the Ken Burns effect on a still of Ken Burns.

    My mind is blown!
