FCPx in local TV

Works here… only thing that slows down the process are the Journalist.

[Victor Perez] “It could be fast yes. But there is a lot more to creating a news piece than just cutting. Accumulating footage, shared storage, cooperating with others, what will be used for playback? File. Tape, Live to air from timeline? Doable, but not sure FCPX can do all thats needed yet.”
Accumulating footage: check
Shared Storage: Check
Cooperating with others: Check
Playback: Not here
Live to air from timeline: Possible with are our Frankenstein setup (have to love the engineers) but not being used yetProblems: the daily’s editors are to fast and aspected to have a faster turn around.

[Dave LaRonde] ” Are they willing to be on the bleeding edge just to say they’ve done it? Or are they more interested in getting something that works RIGHT NOW, no speculation or theorizing necessary”
I suspect that since this station is a start-up and small, that price point is a major consideration. Installing a “bullet-proof” solution costs a great deal more than being the guinea pig.
But I wouldn’t say that FCPX is “unproven for their needs,” because who’s to say it is? Perhaps they looked at FCPX and said that it’s exactly what they need, and so they are building out from there.
Yes it’s a new NLE, but it works well for new NLE, and it has a lot of features that mesh well with news storytelling. Whether or not you can build a decent pipeline around it…well, I guess the OP will find out.

“Or are they more interested in getting something that works RIGHT NOW, no speculation or theorizing necessary, has been proven to work under more demanding circumstances than theirs, and is so stable that it’s virtually bulletproof?”
I go for this option. Grass Valley Edious certainly seems like its worth looking at.

Yes cost is a mayor consideration and booklet proof is probably beyond our price point, I think maybe something like Edious may be a safer option. If others have got FCPx working in a smeller environment that’s cool but if not I think letting someone else be the first would be the way to go (regardless of if it saves us a few hundred bucks).

Sure what do you want to chat about?

It’s certainly an option, although I don’t know if you’ve ever cut on Edius before. Personally, I’m not a fan. Though I completely understand not wanting to be the first out of the gate either.

If you are saying you have FCPx working in a small (commercial) station broadcasting to cable/satellite or terrestrial I would love to talk to you about how you did it/what problems you have etc. Probably best to take this off forum as the thread is getting quite big.
