FCPX proving to be very fast

[John Davidson]

Perhaps more apropos, the tilde has turned!

If the stars align correctly, I will have a very elaborate counterpoint on Monday morning.

The assertion that somehow FCPX is only good for narrative or loose edits is misinformed to say the least.

[craig slattery] “As for FCPX dead in London, are you in London? The tide has turned, trust me.”

Please. trust is not an issue. I’m in London too. That piece got post in Smoke&M. Resolve for the pictures.

[Oliver Peters] “That’s not the case in the US. Not only does the show have to be to time (to the second), but so do show segments. Generally you can’t get there by trimming out 20 seconds. It’s more like 1/2 a second here or there in 40 places throughout the show.”

I still don’t see the problem.

[Aindreas Gallagher]

yes of course, that’s tough – nevertheless – we all look forward to the new dawn.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding something about total time but in FCPX isn’t the
xx:xx:xx total
at the bottom grey bar accurate?

As you trim that changes according to update total time.
Granted that doesn’t give you segment time which is critical when placing station break slugs.
If you make a selection/range it’ll show you that on the bottom as well though.

You are right and I tend to overlook that. My bad. I guess I’m missing a nice fat timecode window that’s more sophisticated than that or the TC viewer in the center toolbar. I don’t see these as huge problems, just nuisances that aren’t as good yet as in other NLEs. For me there are still other issues, like the inability to zoom into the viewer filmstrip or the ability to advance within the filmstrip by keypad entry. Or the lack of a visual relationship to the total timeline when you’ve zoom in the project timeline. Hopefully they’ll come.
