FCP X 10.1.2 released…

Well from my even more humble (naturally) perspective I agree. We are doing pretty well three years down the line. Finally.
Nomenclature is not nonsensical. Language is the key to civilisation and progress from year zero. Without us all knowing (in whatever language) what a doughnut is we make no progress, because we cannot communicate effectively. Apple have wrongly tried to rewrite the language of film editing. STUPID MOVE.
To use a word processing analogy it’s like calling a “Sentence” a “String”. A “Paragraph” a “Chunk”. A “Comma” a “Tadpole”. POINTLESS and counter productive.
Why do that?
These are established terms in film editing jargon. And incidentally I go back as far as cutting film with Moviolas and Steenbecks so I know where this terminology comes from.

[James Ewart] “but it is the single greatest barrier to entry for most people”
:-))))
Sorry, but that’s just ludicrous conjecture. As a teacher at various schools and academies I can’t confirm that even remotely. So I’d be very curious where you have gathered that “knowledge”. Not once in the last 2+ years has a single student of mine spent so much as a second of their time thinking about it. It took me (an editor of 20+years) a full 5 mins. to adjust. There are truly much bigger fish to fry and that topic is just a silly, typical “old solipsistic pro” waste of time imo.But again… if THAT’S X’s biggest issue… hooray! ;-D

So, again, your proof and confidence for such a obscure matter-of-fact claim comes from where?
Either way I certainly enjoyed the equating of “doughnut” with that of some obscure, arcane niche terminology and its alleged “social importance” immensely. 😀
-
Wow you are a clever guy. Just 5 minutes to adjust to the FCPX terminology after 20 years of other non linear systems?
Hats off to you.
You know everything already. Why are you wasting your time here Mr Einstein?
-
Wow. Your response speaks novels. Reduced to 4th grade level personal attacks. Bummers. But I never actually expected a real answer, so all’s good. 😀
-
Your patronising insulting tone deserved no less.
-
Still waiting on that answer…
-
I’m not sure you need an answer to anything Professor. You seem to have all the answers already.
Your tone in this thread has been insulting, patronising and presumptuous from the outset.
I have no wish to engage in any further dialogue with an individual like yourself.

Logical fallacies: The best escape-hatch known to man. 😀

There’s no logical fallacy to it Herr Kurz. It’s just that your manner is offensive and patronising. I put up with it and tried to ignore it for a few posts in the interests of the friendly and constructive atmosphere I usually encounter in the Creative Cow community. But every time you come back with another snide point scoring remark. And if you read back you yourself admit to being guilty of the very thing you accuse (yes accuse) me of. It ceased to become a constructive dialogue ages ago. I am bored with it. If you want to treat this as some kind of “victory” on your part then please feel free to bask away.
Capiche?
