FCPX… My 2 cents
-
I fully understand the difference between FCPX and legacy FCP or other NLE’s – I never mentioned Bins or tabbed sequences or other legacy features and was only saying that FCPX needs refinements.

Yup the two heads of the Pro Apps team. ProRes, Xsan locations and stem export vs iMovie import and all the missing FCP 7 features.
Which head will win out? Can they coexist?
One could argue Photoshop has but then there’s Photoshop Elements.

Yeah you’re pushing it now Bill. Apple already used your philosophy to create the most ubiquitous editing software on Earth – Final Cut Pro. A program that took on Avid and the rest and beat them all with a track record of Oscar winning films and Emmy winning television and was still growing! 2 million paid users just waiting to plunk down their cash for FCP Studio 4.
What if all Apple ever did was just make a 64 bit version of legacy FCP? Maybe a few other refinements and updates to the rest of the Studio? Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas and Avid were all re-written as 64bit apps but they all were able to do so without changing the ease of use and functionality and in Adobe’s and Sony’s case re-write without changing the interface!
I’m a fan of FCPX and hope it continues to get better and better but I’m not sure if it will really ever be “better”…

I understand. But if I refer to an event and a project, what am I referring to?
Event – related batch of source media with keyword collections, favorites, rejects, etc.
Project – a single timeline. To me a project is a timeline. A timeline is a project.

In all the speed tests I’ve done and others I’ve seen, FCP X is actually slower to render than FCP 7 and gets 1 less layer of RT with ProRes. Isn’t 64bit wonderful.

Love it!!!

Damn Lance, you’re beginning to sound just like me now. That’s precisely what I’ve been saying all along since June 21st, 2011, which you earlier seemed to take with great offense.
Remind me, what were we arguing about anyway? I can’t remember.
