er, is that it?

there are outbord mixers that work with most NLE’s but we’ve never had a problem getting an accurate mix with any of the software real time mixers..but I come from old school radio where we did it on large boards so that’s comfortable for me.

ah that’s kind of great to read – it really sounds like they did get christmas.
still – you’d think the FCP7 prairie herd really are about to finally move. they have to right? you’d also think apple would have worked quite a bit harder to signal them.
on some level this full .1 update reads –
“hello, we got the entire organisational structure wrong three years ago, we have now completely altered it. that largely represents this .1 upgrade. end of message”
you’d honestly think apple don’t have as long as apple think they have to get back into any kind of driver’s seat.
If they don’t shift their asses and iterate, this is going to be perceived as pages. with don’t care no pay updates.listening to the ripple training guys there going on about crossing events with libraries and entering other countries as the metaphor went, I was struck by the thought – who the hell cares about this. why does anyone care about this?
how is this release signalling FCPX to the broader editing world? and if its solely for the FCPX guys, how is FCPX going anywhere?
does this .1 release have even a single new feature that would draw anyone’s attention coming from the competition?through edits? project containers?
a bit ranty, but how did apple fail to come up with a single noteworthy advance to a disinterested observer?
after 14 months by craig seeman’s count?ech.

[Andy Field] “it could not be easier”
Easy is important but output quality matters more, of course.
Audition’s spectral frequency display is a fancy piece of software — like magic for fixing it in post. If anyone hasn’t used it, do it today. <–underline, bold, all-caps.

As a facility still running primarily FCP Legacy and testing FCPX and Premier Pro for various projects, FCPX 10.1 sound interesting.
The new library structure is a huge improvement. It really fit our structure far better and I have a hard time seeing any real down side to it.
It performance is better – also a huge plus. FCPX has been in my testing amazing in speed but also very “switchy” in its performance. Some task where 10-100X slower than FCP Legacy, others the opposite.
We shall see where it all ends. 10.1 feel much more thought through. Yes, there are features I’d hope to see but now I can give the app yet another test for real.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “I’m an observer”
The actual business model is develop a product to a certain level and have customers send in feedback. Why spend money developing features customers don’t want. It’s even better, when those “beta-testers” are paying to test the software and send feedback to developers.
10.1.01 is where I come back to X, till then I’m happy in my dual boot 10.6.8 FCP7~mavericks-CS6 hybrid world. Not sure I will make it to the CC unless the corporation pays for Adobe Anywhere, which I’m pulling for — on Windows! A new world for sure.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “where is the rest of it?”
[Craig Seeman] “In about 10 weeks we’ll have some bug fixes.
Another 10 weeks beyond we may finally get a few more features.
Looks like NAB or so before they add new features.”
“As long as I breathe, I shall fight for the future, that radiant future in which man, strong and beautiful, will become master of the drifting stream of his history and will direct it towards the boundless horizon of beauty, joy and happiness!”

“It seems as if the new century, this gigantic newcomer, were bent at the very moment of its appearance to drive the optimist into absolute pessimism … [It thunders]: “Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope!” in salvos of fire and in the rumbling of guns. “Surrender, you pathetic dreamer. Here I am, your long awaited future.”“No,” replies the unhumbled optimist: “You — you are only the present.”

not bad there. five year plans without the need for capitalism sticks are tricky mind you. people appear to get lost.
software as a gift from the mighty barely remembering their former lowly selves is likely to run wrong.
that is a tricky entity to partner with for paychecks.

It does seem odd that this is the direction 10.1 took. The change to Libraries is about as clear of an admission by Apple that the original direction was wrong.
There are very few apps that I’ve seen, which were designed from scratch, that have gone through such changes, especially under the hood. Clearly an indication that ProApps is just as much at the mercy of Apple engineering as outsiders. To some extent, they appear to be winging it.
It does seem as though this past year was wasted, because they had to re-architect the product for the hardware and OS – and, because they’ve had to address concepts that customers have rejected. Doesn’t give me any warm and fuzzy feeling about how predictable FCP X will be in future versions.
Honestly, I’m not sure what everyone is expecting, though. This is Apple, we are talking about. The direction won’t change. No tracks, non-functional audio mixing, an island when it comes to the rest of the pro world. These things will not change.

[Bret Williams] “9-Would be nice. But I’ve never keyframed color correction. Masks, yes. Tracking masks would be great.”
Shows how different we all are. I used the hell of of that… until of course FCP X didn’t have it. I’ve been begging for it since the first release. I guess Apple only cares about things that are sexy, not things that you really need…

[Brett Sherman] “I’ ve never liked live mixing. Especially software interface mixing. Maybe I’m not good at it, or maybe people think they are better at it than they actually are. 🙂 I find FCP X’s rubber banding exceptionally fast and easy. The realtime waveform feedback is a boon too. And you don’t need the pen tool, just Option-click. Also Ctrl +/- to adjust overall clip level. Now if there were a control surface with faders, I might give it a shot. But still it requires you to predict the future.”
Should have tried a Mackie Control Unit in FCP7. It kicked ass! Used the hell out of it… every day!
I wonder if I’ll be collecting Social Security before Apple ever gets serious about this.
