FCPX vs PPro CC
-
[Andy Field] “(i think FCP X does that too)”
Yes, it does. Even more codecs and with even less fuss according to a Premiere colleague of mine, who is highly envious of the RED, Arri and other integration as far as the built-in LUTs and other options are concerned.
[Andy Field] “where we used the recording keyframe audio mixing in FCP 7”
Something I personally never once did in 10+ years of 7, since it did little more than leave me with an unmanageable mess of keyframes that were impossible to tweak without starting from scratch. Never struck me as an even vaguely efficient workflow. And any and everything else was done in an actual DAW.
[Andy Field] “If X gave us tracks…”
Which it clearly never will, seeing that “roles” are far more flexible and powerful compared to tracks. And if one knows how to use them, they pose just a few clicks more (if any), opening up more options and possibilities than tracks ever could.

Robin,
I understand that what we do doesn’t work for you…but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for scores of other people…as for X accepting more codecs….I don’t think there is one that Premiere doesn’t accept that X does. Again glad its working for you….but a great number of people have a tough time molding themselves to the software rather than having the flexibility they like and are used to.

Why in the hell would they do that?

makes me smile at the defensiveness when anyone dares question FCP X….

Goes both ways Andy. I have a hard time going back to the limitations of Premiere/FCP7 after experiencing the flexibility I have gotten used to with FCPX.

Goes both ways pretty evenly here too.
I’m just glad we have the choice we do.

[Andy Field] “but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for scores of other people”
I don’t recall ever saying that either. I just never met anyone for whom it made sense in those 10+ years.
[Andy Field] “a great number of people have a tough time molding themselves to the software”
You mean RE-molding (i.e. actually learning something new) like the first time you ever learned an NLE or ANY software for that matter? Because I have scores of students that catch on to FCP X and are productive with it exponentially faster than with any other NLE before it. So I guess that’s a very relative viewpoint.
And it makes me smile when people play the rather tired “fanboy” card (or variation thereof) when and if they run out of any real arguments. 😀
