Interesting article on using FCPX for Broadcast

[Aindreas Gallagher]

maybe a little bit – all you’re really saying there is that you can make an attached clip, I’m talking about editing into something other than the primary.

mark morache says this better than I can – and I reckon he’s putting in at least as much effort into this as you are:

I’ve tried putting audio as the primary storyline, then adding b-roll as a secondary storyline. It feels awkward to me. I really like using I and O on the timeline, and even if I have the secondary storyline selected, it still sets the region on the primary storyline.

After I set my points, I can hit the Q key to make a new connected clip, the hit P and drag the connected clip into the secondary storyline. #awkward

If I set my points THEN select the secondary storyline, my range disappears. The only way I can select a range in the secondary storyline is with the range tool and the mouse. #awkward

the point I’m trying to make here is that it really is in a sense a single track editor. everything after that is a mess of poor metaphors and stupid workflow. I find it ludicrous. It feels cumbersome and stupid.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “I find it ludicrous. It feels cumbersome and stupid.”

I’ve always found Avid to be cumbersome in it’s timeline operations as well. I guess if I used it more and learned how it works I might not.

Perhaps I should start posting rants about it on the Avid Forum

I’d say that last post wasn’t a rant really – and if it was, it was largely marks. I’m curious – what do you say to his observations though?

NTSC color information is carried on a subcarrier (3.58MHz is memory serves) which could drift. I don’t think that was ever the case with PAL (maybe PAL-M used subcarrier too 4.43MHz if memory serves although my memory of analog is fading).

[Lance Bachelder] “I’d respect that if they were top “pro’s” but looking at some of their demo reels I see most are pitifully mediocre and their work needs nothing more than the actual iMovie to accomplish.

There I said it…
“

Wow. Lance, I haven’t looked at your reel, but that kind of comment is particularly amateurish.

[Chris Harlan]

[Craig Seeman] “Either it’s 10.0.2 or maybe he’s using 10.1 beta. How does something like this get missed in proofing and editing the article? “

Because it is an online article, and standards everywhere seem to be dropping by the hour?

I hear what you are saying Aindreas, that felt strange to me to at first also.

I keep the snapping on when I cut, then I put the playhead where I want to trim the out or in and I just drag the the end of start of the clip to the play head. It snaps right to it with the snapping on.

I don’t have the i and o outside the main track but I don’t have to unlock or lock tracks either.
That might be the trade off. The time it takes you to lock and unlock vs that drag move.

PAl avoid the hue deviations by shifting 180 degrees the chroma phase every line.
If there is a hue error that produces a wrong color in one line, will produce the complementary color in the next line. Our eyes will integrate both colors and we will see the correct one.

But this is not my question.
I understand well the Hue issue in analog NTSC and the situations that can produce it, but I don’t understand when a Hue shift can come from on an all-digital-tapeless workflow.
I don’t understand why he talks about hue shift when he is cutting files right from a camera.
Where the hue shift may come from?

That was before the .1 update even with one click secondary when adding a transition.

A lot of that thread seems to be inexperience and process learning as we all are.
