Interesting article on using FCPX for Broadcast
-
[Craig Seeman] “Apple would want the blessing of facility based users if they want FCPX to fly with some credibility as soon as it’s released.”
Oh Craig … I can’t help but think you miss Aindreas when you say things like that.

[Craig Seeman] “That’s why I’m guessing he might be beta testing FCPX.”
I really doubt that. If so, he’s in shackles in the bowls of the Cupertino mothership by now. 😉

[Craig Seeman] “I can’t help but think the article was overly edited”
Could be.
I’m just pointing out that as it stands, the color portion of the interview is confusing or even misleading — and color is important to get right for broadcast finishing.
[Craig Seeman] “I thought the “wrong/correct” example might have been related to the difference between using a Rec 709 profile vs actual profiling.”
As presented, I thought it was part of the “blue-only” discussion about lining up HDTVs attached as second monitors to the Mac.
[Craig Seeman] “I don’t see a blue only feature in FCPX (can I really not find it?). Since he makes mention of both Lion and FCPX perhaps he’s beta testing the next FCPX release and slipped something out.”
It doesn’t matter — pre-display blue-only is voodoo color. Read jPo’s post that I linked to above. Blue-only has to be a display feature, not a test signal in and of itself. It’s meant to allow the user to adjust for saturation or phase errors within the monitor. It’s only relevant on a monitor with the proper controls, and with the proper test signal — encoded color bars.
Creating a profile for the monitor and allowing ColorSync to manage color with it makes this unnecessary. Until FCPX offers traditional video I/O, profiling is the one and only way to get accurate color.

Which is why the article looks hatcheted . . . maybe. Of course if Cupertino had a hand in it some things in their like version numbering slip ups and blue out support wouldn’t have been in there. Keep in mind Evan is a beta testers and is speaking about FCPX (but not in detail about beta features).

[Walter Soyka] “Simply selecting a Rec. 709 profile for your monitor will not make it accurate.”
Walter,
I hope you’ll consider doing a real (article level?) critical analysis of the FCPX monitoring solution when it is finally announced / included. I, for one, would love to hear what you have to say about it.

Interesting article.
I also found this one interesting. I figured it would be up here already and being debated:

Care to point me to that thread?
BTW, I continue to impressed with the awesome efficiency with which you can dispatch any opinion that doesn’t align with your own…

Careful.
Read the rest of the “comments” exchange that follows the article.
What is truly sad are the number of posts on this partition that are dated Dec 24, and Dec 25. Wow, those are some priorities.

I certainly can when someone spouts BS like that, see I have actually learned the software and I use it almost every day, I’m pretty sure that gives me a better “Insight” into FCPX.
