FCP X can’t do “pro” is officially vaporized.

[Robin S. Kurz] “. Especially since they didn’t dare install either of the latter on the same machine, making it completely unfeasible to just maintain single machines that couldn’t be used for anything else. It’s been removed from the curriculum as well. YMMV.
“That seems excessively cautious. I’ve worked on many machines that have Avid installed side-by-side with other NLEs. Heck I have FCP Legend, X, PPro, Resolve. Avid and Lightworks installed on my MacPro and it hasn’t imploded yet. 😉

“Same – all the facilities now adays have everything on one box. Some with sperate installs on seperate machines but you can toggle between boxes from one bay. They seem to be getting along fine. Not sure why your facility is having difficulty with it.
Havent had an Avid crash or ISIS hiccup in about a year. FCP X has gone poof on me a few times and PPro is somewhat flakey (audio dropouts mostly) on a few systems ive triedit on.

Someone on You Tube had this to say: So cute to watch them try and pretend it’s actually a useful program. Those types of comments makes me wonder whether these people actually used the software or basing their “opinion” on what others have said without using the software, kind of like those talking points on your cable news network of choice.

Like Ronny Courtens said on FCP Radio recently – trust someone you know, not somebody on the internet.
I’ve been editing for over 30 years and there is not a project that I have done (from commercials to corporate to TV) that I couldn’t do in FCPX and it would be a lot more fun.
And quicker – the first time I did something on FCPX the first thought that came into my head at the completion of the project was “I shouldn’t be done yet”.

Starting with that statement will never lead to anything worthwhile. 😉

[Andrew Kimery] “I agree that worth is in the eye of the beholder. Bill, for example, really likes how the Share to Vimeo feature in X saves steps (even though they are minor steps) when you need to get something up to Vimeo. For me it’s not really a feature I care about because I rarely use streaming sites like Vimeo. The few extra clicks don’t bother me because I do them so infrequently, but if I uploaded to Vimeo frequently I’m sure I would find more value in having the process streamlined”
Just to clarify I use Vimeo almost exclusively for client screeners. It’s common for me to have projects with stakeholders in diverse geographical locations with a variety of gear and wildly differing technical expertise.
Heck I had two just last week worry that a file on a thumb drive was too complex and asked if I could burn and mail them a DVD! With clients spread all over the country and often on the road, a single direct one click upload from inside X lets Vimeo do the transcoding for versions ranging from mobile to high-Rez, handles pass-wording for sensitive client content, and is so easy that nobody has a problem WATCHING anything, even those rare folk who don’t exactly know how to navigate and play a file after they hit the the Download button.Joys of technology and all.
I’m exploring Frame.io for collaboration, but doubt I’ll give up Vimeo Pro simply because it’s so client transparent.
Just for the record.

My joke was about the cesspool known as YT’s comments section… with that being said I doubt Michelle Phan (who’s a makeup artist not just a pitch girl) or PewDiePie would have much to say about X vs MC or LumaForge vs ISIS in a large post production facility. Maybe they do both love to geek out over production technology (I don’t know), but as on camera talent it’s not something that has to be in their respective wheelhouses in order to be successful. If you want to name drop a successful YouTube celeb that can lead a conversation about production, post, crowd funding, creating original online content with slick production values, etc., you need to drop Freddie Wong’s name.
😉
Oddly enough I’m starting to work on a feature doc with a couple of people that have found a lot of success on YouTube (not PewDiePie level, but over 10 million subscribers and over 1 billion views) and when I asked why they wanted to make it a feature doc (as opposed to a web series) they basically said they’ve already been there/done that in the digital space. They want to go beyond YouTube and do something that could be seen as more prestigious/legitimate (my words, not theirs). It’s admirable and also risky because as a web series coming from them this would most be a slam dunk but going the feature route introduces a lot more uncertainty.
EDIT:
It seems like whenever I’m working w/’old media’ people they are trying to expand into new media and whenever I’m working with ‘new media’ people they are trying to expand into old media. I guess the grass is always greener… -
Subscribers? Meh. Folks can get subscribers by dressing up cats. I’m more an MKGHD guy. Trusted on tech knowledge. Edits his shows on FCP X now – AND (and this is the closer for me) got Interviewed on tech trends by none other than Neil Degrass freekin’ Tyson.
To me that’s kinda the modern definition of ‘mic drop’ killin it.
YMMV

So one moderately successful YouTuber using FCPX is “Killin it”?
