I tested the 2014 VS 2015 Macbook Pro using both FCPX & Ppro and results show FINAL CUT X ROCKS!!!

[David Mathis] “Why is it necessary to contact customer support to cancel your subscription?”

Great question. You should just be able to do it online from your account.

I need Light Room to take over for Aperture. I was all set to get their cloud version as my 1 month trial is ending. Maybe I should just buy LR 5 instead. I don’t really need the Photo Shop that comes bundled with LR CC. Hmmmn.

Affinity Photo is really good. I think once Photos integrates it via app extensions you’ll be able to use Photos as a catalogue and Affinity Photo for more extended works. Affinity has just absolutely lightning fast software, and despite still paying for CC, I’m using their apps more and more. I’m a bit biased though because I can’t find my cancel subscription button. Terrible business practice.

Holy cow! Somebody call a doctor! Aindreas must have fallen and hit his head on something! 😉

Try quitting Twitter. I was on it for a total of 5 days (useless digital noise IMHO) and it took three months for them to finally stop trying to lure me back (“pssst. hey man, we still have your account ready. c’mon, just press that reactivate button in this e-mail. you know you want to….”). Like a damn drug dealer….

Have you quit the internet too?

Nah. Just the useless parts of it. As much as I can, at least.

https://www.premierebro.com/blog/trim-session-premiere-pro-cc-2015

random blog – and full disclosure, I don’t personally run trimming this religiously at all. But it’s an interesting article to read, because that optional hidden trim state revert button is something that will never, and can never happen in the world of FCPX.

The notion that speed is based on footage categorisation, where X excels, or render speeds, where I think it’s more fluid than presented, gets away from a core issue.

Does exposure to software vendor complexity allow craft skilled practitioners to shortcut any identifiable practise? Isn’t that the real time saving? Isn’t it consensual?

does a H264 sprint export beat the limitations of the primary timeline? If anyone is going to try and say that the apple timeline is not massively and deliberatively circumscribed – I have bridge to sell you. And a trim edit revert session button. Apple have effectively tried to place a high noise software filter on the operation of editing. I’m still not exactly sure why they tried to do this. As Tim pointed out: they have roughly half the user base they had with 7. What was it all for?

there. My role in kicking up some sweet debate forum ad sales!

So a few things. I’m pretty sure there are installed users with FCPX then there were with 7. The timeline works for plenty of people, including myself and several of our in house staff. Also, to negate the real cost-saving features associated with one part of the app with your feelings about the workflow decisions Apple has made doesn’t really equal out. They’re all great apps and all very capable. The best editors I’ve seen also have the simplest and cleanest looking timelines.

Even tougher, try and get a refund when you accidentally buy a year subscription when you only meant to order a month to month.

But to their credit, I did get the refund.

For better or worse, the two people most responsible for X coming into being are either dead or have left Apple.
