[Brian Seegmiller] “Andy Patterson,
FCP X = $299.99
FCP X + plugins = $799.99Premiere Pro CC for Teams= $69.99 per month
Premiere Pro CC = $828 per year
Premiere Pro CC for 5 years = $4,140
Premiere Pro CC for 10 years = $8,280
Shall I go on?Paying once for FCP X, priceless.
What is your point?”
The plugins can add up to more than the FCPX software. Also the CC has some cool plugins like Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Dreamweaver, InDesign and many other programs
Someone claimed Avid’s MC is like a printing press and Premiere Pro was like a color printer while FCPX was like a web page. Let me see you print out a newspaper using Avid’s MC or design a website using FCPX. I am not a fan of the CC but you have to admit the CC is a full multimedia solution. You don’t just get Premiere Pro for $50.00.
[Brian Seegmiller] “Yes, FCP X was half baked when released, get over it. Is it solid now, yes and no. For the majority of users it works just fine. For those that need more, third party developers can fill that need.”
Get over it?
My point is that I don’t think FCPX was half baked. It was missing a lot of features because it was released about 14 months to soon. That is not the same as half baked. Apple knew they could not wait 14 more months becuase Premiere Pro was gaining traction.

—FCP X – the Debate—
A forum supposedly about software that runs exclusively on Macs – needs the input of NLE jockeys on machines that can’t actually RUN the software?
Of course, brilliant.
Please direct me to a nice scriptwriting site exclusively in French – so English monolingual me can learn more about scriptwriting!
It’ll be fun.

[Bill Davis] “A forum supposedly about software that runs exclusively on Macs …”
Except it’s not a forum supposedly about software that runs exclusively on Macs. It’s a forum about debating Apple’s new (relatively speaking) philosophical idea of what an NLE should be (FCP X) compared to some already existing philosophies about NLEs (and many of those already existing philosophies are shared between apps like MC, PPro, FCP Legend, Lightworks, Resolve, etc.,.).

After all these years you can still say something that genuinely surprises me.

Thank you!
Without stirring the pot occasionally, an ugly skin may form – and eventually, the contents dry out and start cracking.

Question: does DR 14 accept and work with plug-ins from FX factory/ Noise Industries?

Not really. Resolve uses OpenFX plugins for visuals (and apparently Audio Units on the Mac for audio). There are only three plugins from Noise Industries that work in Resolve:

Resolve is cross platform so they use OFX to maintain cross platform compatibility. FX Factory as Mac only from memory. I used them with FCP7.

Maybe I’m thinking about it from the wrong end…. does a nodal compositor like Fusion work with any of those Noise Industries/ FX factory plug-ins?

Fusion is also cross platform and uses OFX plugins, same as Resolve. They are both Blackmagic after all.
