FCPX proving to be very fast

[Aindreas Gallagher] “They need to persuade broad groups that it is viable and advantageous.”

Agreed.

I had a couple of documentary directors over the other day to lay down some VO

I’m showed them some things on X before we got started.

One said to me “I’ve heard nothing but bad things about it but I’ve never laid eyes on it until now”

They both were pretty impressed with the tagging and what not. They both can cut a little but not like you.

I could see them starting a doc in X and then trying to take it to somebody like you are some of these other talented folks on here.

no no mate 🙂 I’m literally just argumentative – don’t extrapolate.

I think we should start a pool on the exact date Aindreas does his first paid FCPX Job.

BTW is it snowing in London yet?

Here’s a culture show for ya.:-) Many millions saw this. Possibly billions! LOL

Cut on FCPX, onlined on an Avid of some flavor. Honestly, other than the nice clean picture, the effects in the offline looked better…There are some great plugins for X… Groundbreaking? Nope. Not gonna win a key art for this. 😉 But it was all over TV and the intertubes, and it was cut on X. Fast. 😉

For organizing the media and getting the first cut done, there is nothing faster than FCPX, and I have used them all. Where I find it falls down is in the end part, tweaking, revisions, and project duplications , then finally archiving.

For me, it was like you lost all that speed you had at the start, and actually starts to take longer.

I will be interested to see how the blog about the whole process goes.

This is all so dull. Go back to FCP 1 thru 5. Everyone was saying the same thing. Anyone who used it was unprofessional. And then Mr Murch used it on Cold Mountain and suddenly all these Avid editors were also FCP editors too.

Anyone wo takes so much time to discredit software like FCP X looks like they are scared of change to me.
Also might there be a hidden agenda. Soho has a lot of money tied up in Avid software and hardware but look at the hardware these facilities are running?

Quite old kit innit?
