FCPX proving to be very fast

[Aindreas Gallagher] “one freelancer swallow does not a spring make”
Yes but from little things, big things grow.
[Aindreas Gallagher] “there is only so far you can leverage repeatedly posting about when the show you cut freelance for is going to broadcast its next episode.”
Ha ha, I’m trying to boost our viewing figures. That said, we do have a cumulative audience in the millions, Ok our numbers are nothing like ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ but perhaps repeated posting does have some leverage over youtube clips with a couple of 100 hits. Besides I want to share the love, and I’d hate to see a young guy like you get left behind.

Hear no evil, see no evil, say lots of evil.
We’re like roaches. If you see one, there are a hundred hiding out of sight.
I seriously doubt anyone in their right mind would share real world use in this forum at this point. It’s like the New York Post of forums.

you mean a part of the BBC schedule receives those viewing figures, but I am utterly certain your editing, and the use of FCPX was critical.
Please feel free to keep declaring to any and all that you do indeed currently cut freelance for a BBC magazine show, but I fear you will grow hoarse and damage the old larynx.As to youtube viewing figures – well indeed – early days however, if we are going to begin wrapping ourselves in viewing figures that have absolutely nothing to do with us – I, in your terms, got over one hundred and fifty thousand views for putting together this piece in FCP and AE –
that said – a good cat video can go higher.
It goes without saying – I would never lay claim to that viewing figure, even using the royal “we”, [craig slattery] “we do have a cumulative audience in the millions, Ok our numbers” … because that really would be embarrassingly self aggrandising.In any event, as ever, good luck with the FPCX based post production facility you are about to pull the trigger on, literally any day now.

well of course, that all sounds completely sane and reasonable.

‘It’s just my opinion, with an occasional fact thrown in for good measure” -
no, I pretty carefully couched my response. Craig, as a freelancer, is wrapping himself, and FCPX, in the BBC flag like no one’s business, to the point where you would be curious whether the BBC, with complex long term goals, would be completely comfortable being institutionally advertised for specific software in this fashion.
I gave a youtube viewing retort, because he called it, but Steve, only insofar as both examples are absolutely invalid – they both rely on large brands completely outside the editor.
In effect I am beginning to wonder at Craig’s actual goals here, particularly given his repeatedly stated desire to set up a post facility, leveraging FCPX.

I think I’m starting to suspect that there’s a 300 level Psych course somewhere at some US university where the professor has assigned monitoring this group as homework.
(Student A) Look, right there is another example of from Poster Y who has to pathologically defend FCP-X like it was a their honest to god biological offspring…
(Student B) Exactly! Now I wonder how long it’s going take for before poster X – who clearly can’t emotionally tolerate anyone to say anything remotely positive about it – to pop up and question the credentials, breeding and intellectual acumen of anyone who argues that it might be useful for ANYTHING … fascinating stuff!
(Professor) So, lets discuss which are the closest matches to each of these personality types using the diagnostic evaluations in DSM V…
Just sayin.

well, at least this forum is good for something right?
just to add there Bill – given heritage and personal belief, breeding is a phrase I am unlikely to introduce into any conversation.

That footage and cut looks beautiful brother.
It’s kind of ironic though, it’s much like the theme of the first video Apple did to intro X
Alexa, and crane car shots.
I like yours better, but to tell you the truth, if I didn’t know I would have no idea what that was cut on,
unless you told me. -
yeah – thats completely true – this piece could have completely been cut on FCPX. Bar the music (which doesn’t make sense since the final cut is all out of the live orchestra stuff – bunch of stuff got changed) that said i’ve tested, FCPX is highly tricky with multi-part music pieces.
however _ and as ever, until apple do better than a tilde key negation, until apple produce a real timeline, they are not supposed to be a professional editing software provider.
we are supposed to lead this. to some degree. A lot of people agree on the footage organisation, I agree whole heartedly on the post production and masking, apple need to find a way to normalise people’s perception of the timeline.
It might not need full track re-introduction – but they have to get away from where they are.
there is absolutely no way apple are not going to be swallowed alive and dead in paid work in the next 12-18 months unless they at least reshape perception of the timeline in FCPX. They need to persuade broad groups that it is viable and advantageous.
because it is literally dead as door nails right now – that bit is true.
almost no one outside of me and Craig own licenses. Don’t listen to craig.
