In LA Tomorrow…(Wed 1/24) at LACPUG

[Oliver Peters] “Any live webcast or later after the fact?”
Oliver, The meeting was recorded via a 3 camera setup – but I don’t know if it was for the LACPUG or for Apple. If the former – it will probably be on-line in a while.
Apple did the same thing at this meeting they been doing recently – (specifying that some content – typically the “current work being done in FCP X” stuff by major performance acts and global players – not be recorded or posted – presumably for IP rights reasons) but also specifying that people at the meeting are free to photograph and post on social sites any thing on display by Apple at the breaks.
Whether what gets released includes a bunch of the formal Apple product team presentations is up to them.
I suspect the student teams presentations and short films will likely see daylight at least, but it’s all speculative in my part.
So how much and/or which parts of the full meeting get posted is a bit up in the air.

Totally.
If your base expectation is one system – being forced to use another can be really annoying.
I know for sure that after becoming fully accustomed to the speed and fluidity of magnetic editing – the couple of times I’ve had dip back into the track based systems of my first decade of editing – its been a ROYAL exercise in frustration.
But I can still get the work done. So I think it’s largly an issue of convenience, not capability.
Comfort always follows conditioning.
And every editor is free to build their own personal levels of that.

[Bill Davis] “Those who have less prior conditioning – will simply aporoach the new tools as they are and feel “this is how it works” and not really notice any issues.”
The Colour Wheels aren’t “new tools” they are an unusually implemented version of very old tools! It’s not a new way of doing things.
You’re constant “new paradigm” argument doesn’t apply in this case

Or they’ll be delighted by the fact that it takes less moves to do the same correction that they are doing in FCPX 🙂

Thanks. FWIW – the short films are already on YouTube. The FCP.co article has links.

Color Wheels are “new tools” to the entire industry = of course FALSE
Color Wheels are “new tools” to FCP X (the software being discussed) = of course TRUE.
In the written word – interpretation is many times not illustrative of written intent.

That’s great.
I hope that the discussions of the process that the young directors and teams engaged in are eventually posted as well.
As it typical in these types of student contests (regardless of the tools involved) they were great bunch of young folk, and their attitudes bode well for a future of more voices getting an outlet in our industry.
