FYI, the blog FCPX on-air posts will be posted in the FCPX Techniques forum

You’re both right. I apologize to both of you if I had somehow made you think that I have direct mental control of any current or former elected officials of the Executive branch of United States, or that perhaps Apple somehow waits to make all decisions and announcements based off my recommendations.
Some, perhaps, but definitely not all.

It’s often an insult to non users as well. It’s like Big East Basketball – no blood, no foul.

Hey, no need to apologize. I read it as tongue in cheek. I was just hoping that’s how you meant it 😉
Seriously though, I am interested in hearing about the transition in your shop.

Hi John,
looking forward to the post. I for one find this forum (not the FCPX Technique forum) very tiresome and extraordinarily negative. I’ve switched from FCP7 to FCPX the day it came out and never looked back.Steve

[Aindreas Gallagher] “In case you are confused bill, we are winning, it is our foot on the software’s neck, it is near dead and I will hold its head under the water for as long as it takes.
“Well I suppose here it is in a nutshell.
Aindreas’s central self-description as a professional video editor is defined by his need to be X’s EXECUTIONER. Not to critique it fairly, or look at it objectively but to KILL IT. Period. Full stop.
Must be clarifying not to have to actually care about the facts but to be judge, jury and executioner armed with the certainty that your initial feelings are so perfect that you become instantly immune from ANY need for re-examination and further thought.
At least now we can see everything you write through the proper filter.
I can now see that if X was an actress and you were the cameraman, your goal would be to make your star consistently look as unattractive and repulsive as possible – regardless of her actual fundamental appearance.
Seems to me you’ve gotten a nice taste for stewing in a self imposed hot tub of disgust about the program.
Please pardon the fact that some of us will choose not to visit you there.
I kinda find truth to be a valuable ideological disinfectant and am uncomfortable being drawn into puddles of thought where it’s obvious that there might be virulent infections floating about.

[John Davidson] “Seems more relevant to the material than this forum”
I’ve always seen a clear delineation between the 2 Cow FCPX forums.
FCPX Techniques seems the place to post with technical workflow problems and solutions and this one for the more discursive, dare I say, interesting aspects
of how FCPX fits into the ever changing NLE environment. And that means looking at both the positives and negatives in the debate.Like many others visiting this forum I’ve been using FCPX since it’s launch but that is not to say that I’m open to listening to those who still see this software as being deeply flawed.
Despite all the updates and improvements FCPX still has a long way to go before it attains the position that FCP 7 held, or still holds.
Not posting positive FCPX experiences on this forum will diminish the debate but as most people participate on both forums it’s not such a big deal.

John, I’d like to second what Mark is saying here. I’d love to hear about your workflow.

[Mark Dobson] “and this one for the more discursive, dare I say, interesting aspects
of how FCPX fits into the ever changing NLE environment. And that means looking at both the positives and negatives in the debate.”There is some excellent analysis going on in this forum on NLE design philosophy and its impact on workflow… and where FCPX strengths and weaknesses are and whether they are in design or simply features needing development.
On the other hand there’s strong hostility which is not at all productive IMHO. I’m not sure how many new people drop in and start posting but it seems like this forum is constrained to our regulars. I can only speculate that the hostility is driving potential new participants away from posting any kind of positive experience.
[Mark Dobson] “Not posting positive FCPX experiences on this forum will diminish the debate but as most people participate on both forums it’s not such a big deal.”
If an experienced post/editor who may have had background with Avid, Adobe, Legacy, had an insightful experience with FCPX, they, as lurkers, may decide this is not the place to post since they may be treated with professional disrespect.

Hi Bill
I need to contact you regarding my December 20th order.
None of the emails I have sent you over the last few days have got through. So in desperation, I am hijacking this thread and apologize for that.Robert d’Alexis
