FCPX cutting a hundred million dollar feature right this minute.

[Brian Mulligan]

Good. I guess we can close the forum now.

I don’t think anyone doubts that FCPX can edit… certainly after 10 revisions. It has a lot of good features and some not so good ones like every other NLE on the planet.

Some people will like the way it works.. others will not. I wish we could just stop treating NLE’s like Coke vs Pepsi, Apple vs Windows, Chevy vs Ford.

Yes, to some degree it’s personal… and I get why FCPX users are insecure. But time to move on and grow up already.

I agree.

Aindreas, you must be exhausted …

That being said. This is the biggest issue with FCPX and the “PRO” community and why it will always get flack.

The barrier of entry is non-existent and you end up with post like the above. The craft of editing and video production is much more than the ability to download an app.

yes, that would surely be ideal.

*edit* – I mean I guess? seriously? exactly how likely is that? Everyone seems pretty bloodthirsty by nature to this point.
Avid editors are the worst anyway. there is a general understanding on that one.
its not coke vs pepsi – its football teams.

True. So who cares if a “total noob” can grab the app and post a question here… the more the merrier. 🙂

Setting aside the great NLE debates… The same thing that happened to the music industry is happening to large chunks of the film biz now. We can rail against it and fight it, or go with the flow, stay at the top of the heap and continue to make a living. The keys to the castle are freely available now. 😉

well, Aindreas Gallagher is one of my heros on Creative Cow, but
Neil Smith is in fact a pretty smart guy, and has done some very early tests that were important to me on Thunderbolt 2 networks.
He (like many of us) is just trying to make a living, and promoting what he is able to train people with. I don’t really care about the “top secret project” – as if that qualifies FCP-X (did Cold Mountain qualify FCP 6?) – but don’t pass Neil Smith off as some moron, because he is not.

is that right? that feels incorrect. the knock on effects removing scarcity feel different in recorded video narrative to song. it feels like a ton of new players are making new money expanding narrative edited drama.

It doesn’t feel like the same thing can be said about people singing.

you could argue the removal of scarcity is highlighting different scales of appetite there.

Me either really but… I think what Cold Mountain did was validate FCP in the squinty eyes of the “hollywood” community. Same thing is happening this time, with the added bonus of a very different timeline. FCP Classic was a pretty easy jump from MC. Setting all that aside… Plenty of people like FCP X, and use it for personal stuff. For “real” work… I believe the main reason “nobody” in L.A., (or NY or London) uses FCP X is… because “nobody uses it”. Pretzel Logic at it’s finest. 🙂

Hopefully it’s a good movie.. 😉

good god no – the whole post was meant as me as a moron. I only posted it to hit myself with a kipper.

I’m completely, and as stated, a moron here, for all the hundred million dollar stuff I posted. I’m posting dude Neil Smith to prove the point.

cheap seats egg face.
