FCPX Documentary on Kickstarter!

[Herb Sevush] “However, unlike X, it’s only when editing to the timeline that this “overlay” function prevents overwriting, not when simply moving clips already on the timeline. Clearly this overlay function could be added to moving clips as well, it’s up to Adobe to see if they ever implement that option.”

For a bit of perspective on this, it’s worth pointing out that this “overlay” function is not unique to Premiere.

Resolve has a similar operation called “Place On Top”, which unlike Premiere has a keyboard shortcut (namely F12). It’s not however quite as elegant as the Premiere operation.

And of course if anyone can still remember back that far, this was also available in FCP 7 and it was called “Superimpose” and it had the same keyboard shortcut as Resolve, namely F12. Again it was not as well implemented as the Premiere overlay option.

[Tony West] “But this is my top priority. Moving things around in timeline quickly.”

I understand that, which is why I wanted to point out that Ppro still doesn’t have that capacity. The “overlay” feature Simon described is, in part, a demo of a way that a tracked “magnetic” timeline could easily work.

[Tony West] “Yes, so it could work and look even more like X : ) just kidding you Herb”

For me the ideal NLE is the one with the most options – PPro with a “magnetic” option would be great.

I agree. X gives me options with Lanes. If and When PPro gives you more “magnetic” you will have more options also.

The goal of the film is to get rid of the stigma of FCPX?

I don’t really see people bad mouthing FCPX in the year 2017. I can say some of the people in the film “Off The Tracks” have bad mouthed Avid MC and Premiere Pro multiple times in the year 2017. We have seen people in the Cow forums post that Premiere and MC are old outdated NLE with laggy code and a cringe worthy GUIs? Shouldn’t there be a documentary to get rid of the stigma of Premiere Pro and Avid? Perhaps maybe even get rid of the hatred of Premiere Pro and Avid. Wouldn’t that be a better idea? I don’t see people bad mouthing FCPX. I do see some FCPX users (not all) bad mouthing Avid and Premiere Pro whenever possible.
