I wish FCPX adopted these Premiere Pro features

And speaking of things Apple needs to pay attention to:

In terms of fast and slow – I’m a premiere pro user – and as they say in New England – it’s Wicked Fast….. However I wanted to use FCP X for some graphics work and built in plugins not available in Premiere

(Stupid raisins easy to use animated charts)

I’m on the latest and greatest Macbook Pro Retina (bought two months ago) maxed out ram and graphics card

FCP X is the ONLY thing running – and it was slow and glitchy — response time to click on play make parameter changes — all slow with a delay

This would drive me nuts if I used it ever day

Those issues aren’t a “feature” of PP CC 2015

There’s nothing in that list that attracts me, to be honest.
I know their previous update had a lot of new big features but this one seems to be a lot about stuff that isn’t really mainstream yet (HDR).

I do wish compressor would get h.265 in the future, but I don’t think it’s very urgent feature.

The only thing I miss when reading that press release is how Apple doesn’t communicate like that, with a roadmap of upcoming features.

Users are a lot more forgiving of flaws when there is communication.

Although Apple’s customers are the most forgiving that have ever strode the earth, no?

Most forgiving or most rationalizing? 😉

But, I thought Tim Cook said he was gonna end the days of “doubling down” on secrecy???

Absolutely.

I’m not ACTUALLY happy editing in X. I just rationalize that what I’m feeling is happy.

Cuz I couldn’t actually know what my own feelings are. Right?

I write this laughing because two hours ago I got a last minute email from an agency client making an after lunch presentation of a rough cut of my latest edit to their big clients – and the agency guy was obsessing about whether the background noise in one field scene was a little too loud. So I opened it in X, and having no time to open up the audio for EQ customization, I just (for the first time ever!) tried the analysis driven “auto background noise reduction” in X. Slid the little slider while listening to the track – and DAMMED if it didn’t actually lower the noise floor VERY acceptably!

Problem solved in :30 seconds. New Vimeo upload took another minute – and with an “I fixed it” email, the client in CA can head to the presentation room now obsessively worrying about something else.

No damn reason to be happy about stuff like this, is there?

[Oliver Peters] “I’m finding the same thing, even on the newest machines. Simple things, like clicking on a different effects category in the filter palette. That should be instant and it’s not in FCPX.”

First, nice list Oliver.

Second, yes the UI responsiveness is disappointing. It lags on simple things, as you’ve identified. I also hate that I STILL have to zoom in or out to get the damn audio waveforms to redraw and display. For those that will claim it’s a hardware issue, I’m on the fastest NMP they have… fully loaded. I’m also on a screaming TB2 disk array that delivers almost a gig both ways…

I’ll have to respectfully disagree with that… I’m on the fastest stuff they offer and I am still not happy…
