Interesting article on using FCPX for Broadcast

[Matthew Celia] “Haha, did I just make it into your sig?”
🙂
I couldn’t agree more. The access to footage is a very welcome feature.
I just hope the application will stabilize a bit more.

[Jeremy Garchow] “[Rafael Amador] “Set “Red Output” and “Green Output” = 0. ”
You can’t be serious, right?”
What is the all the “Only blue” about but feeding black in the R and G channels?[Jeremy Garchow] “Also, I have no idea how a fishing show can be edited before its shot, or any show edited before its shot and how fcpx or any NLE favors this over any other.”
You have’t work much on Broadcast, don’t you?[Matthew Celia] ” You know, the kind where the director and DP had no concept of a script before shooting and need the editor to come in and tell a story.”
A director without a concept or script?
What a heck may have been directing?rafael

Like David Fincher and Alien 3.

That’s a good clip Steve, but I thought he was asking about cutting or trimming a clip in the secondary after it’s place above the storyline.
Like, you change your mind and want to make the clip longer or shorter or even cut something out of the middle of the secondary clip.
My bad if that’s not what he was asking.

[Rafael Amador] “A director without a concept or script?
What a heck may have been directing?”Concept OF A script. Surprising as this may be for you, what looks good on paper some times doesn’t translate well when shot and sometimes (particularly on documentary stuff) the editor’s job is to help find the story.
Editors are storytellers… remember? If all I had to do was assemble a bunch of shots, I’d train a monkey to do it and go to Europe on vacation.

Now there’s an idea!

Story tellers?
Forgot many of you live near by Hollywood.
A walk through the real world would be better than a trip to Europe.

Long format shows for me are 90-120 minute feature docos down to 52 minute broadcast docos. Half hour fishing shows are not exactly long form from my perspective but I am happy to accept many think that they qualify.
I haven’t seen the show so don’t know how complex the edit or post finishing might be but obviously being able to finish both picture and sound within FCPX is applicable for their workflow. There is a whole range within broadcast and I fully expect this sort of show to be a good candidate for an FCPX workflow. Well lit outdoors sport shows probably don’t require complex grading or critical monitoring so again a reasonable fit. However most of the broadcast shows that I grade and mix benefit from using dedicated sound post tools and grading on da Vinci or Color. The speed and accuracy that my clients demand could not be done within any single editing software app.
All this article really says is that FCPX is as good or better than using FCP7 as an editing and finishing tool for this particular show. I don’t think we should infer that it means anything beyond that for the majority of broadcast work.

Since people seem to want to see what the show looks like, I found these.

OK. Had a look at the show. It looks and sounds like an offline edit to me with a small amount of audio work and some minor grading. Frankly it wouldn’t pass tech check with broadcasters and distributors that I work with. The photography and lightning actually needs a lot of help with luma curve manipulation and secondary grades to lift faces.
I am sure that this standard is OK with some broadcasters but it doesn’t seem to me to be a good example of finishing within FCPX. Under whelmed somewhat.
