[Craig Seeman] “I think many FCPX features are nearly impossible to describe to someone who hasn’t explored a given feature. Part of the problem is that describing FCPX almost requires a new language.”
I was just in LA this weekend talking with an editor and describing features I like in X
It’s funny, just trying to describe the skimmer to some who has never seen it feels awkward : )
She had of course, heard only bad things about the program and nothing good. She was intrigued by the things I mentioned but who knows from there.
When people ask me about it I always say, “you need to sit behind someone who knows this program really well and watch them”

Got it.

nope – playing quite a bit thank you. we have had some pretty involved discussions about ranges and their limitations, and I’ve gone on about the problems with out of range keyframes at some length. including alternate mock ups. I’ve also mucked around extensively with CC and the editing modalities for connected clips, secondary storyline, primary. I have a pretty decent handle on this software – if someone put a gun to my head, I could execute a piece in X *fairly* comfortably.
of course, it is incredibly handy for those defending the software to their last breath to simply say of those who disagree with them – you don’t know how to use it, so that invalidates you. its handy Jeremy, but it doesn’t wash.

FCPX is a tinker? – that’s harsh steven, justified, but harsh.

Meh.
I said in a previous post that this was not a pile on to those who haven’t used it.
I said that I need to do better in explaining features as if people had never seen them before.
I had assumed everyone had seen audio component editing since it was the first feature in the 10.0.6 release notes.
I will do better next time.

ha. right. and a meh to you too garchow 🙂
I have seen audio components mate, I did engage with the borg on them when I downloaded .6 it was nice to see them, but – as ever – unless you are using the software in anger under the gun, desperation won’t drive you to discover real process – that would be where the no jobs issue rears its ugly head.
As we have discussed before – the fact that this software sits in a dead ether of being completely unused by the vast majority of editors and houses and production companies that employ editors, even the real gems will lie at the bottom of the ocean.
meh indeed….

V. true. that’s why I personally found John Davidson’s barrelling through promos with it an eye opener. Promos is very familiar process, and he had really worked it through in X, including all the little niceties like the GFX naming for graphics auto-tagging.
