Jony Ives and the next FCPX GUI

[Steve Connor]

[Aindreas Gallagher] “ok it hasn’t got rich corinthian leather – but there is a ton of chrome in general – and drop shadows generated under every last clip you move…

Interesting if the new broom seen in OSX calendar, ibooks, new osx maps etc were to come to X. Ives does look to be cleaning house?”

I’ve been using Mr Ive’s iOS7 all day and I have to say I like it (apart from the icons) It might be nice if some Jony love came FCPX’s way

There’s nothing we can’t argue about on the FCPX COW Forum

Still havn’t figured this out A?

X is FULL of tracks.

What you don’t have anymore is inflexible concrete barriers between your tracks and someone demanding that the track has to reflect one purpose and one form before you can use it AS a track.

But they’re there. I know because I have pictures of them…

Here are some of my audio tracks.

here are some of my video tracks in my Project Library…

And I could post more pictures of tracks inside my compound clips, in my audio files, in my Auditions, heck, X is FULL of tracks.

They’re just not as dumb as they used to be – that’s all.

quite bill – but if you start cutting those audio tracks – say a music track with multiple other audio elements around – the new cut audio element is likely to jump up and down the hierarchy like nobody’s business.

watching that spliced music track taking a vertical trip can be a little weird no? I have tested it, but I’m borrowing that gripe from hard core X dudes on here. they made me test the behaviour. It, like, for totally sure isn’t perfect behaviour? – mind you, with X I’m not going into a dark room to sign a lifetime rental agreement with a giggling Shantanyu Narayan either..

So what track do you keep your sound FX on?

Role: FX of course

So is that track 3 or 4, when I’m looking at the screen and want to know where to adjust something.

Yeah, that took me about an hour of that to figure out that you put a music track in it’s own secondary. Problem solved. In fact, it’s actually pretty easy to stack up a bunch of secondaries and think of them as tracks. Make them as long as your project and they really are the same as tracks. Can do the same for video if you wanted.

[Bret Williams]

This. (don’t you hate it when people say that?)

But this is a good point. Tracks can definitely act as an organizational tool.

[Aindreas Gallagher]

yep – seriously – whatever the guys say – there really actually is a core problem there. video is kind of fine really-ish as freeform, but audio is just a bit mad. Even some of the hardcore guys decry it quite regularly. that’s why there is so much fantasising about roles being magical fix everything ponies – the general notion is that they will dynamically re-assert tracks on the fly for role tagged audio elements? like no one hasn’t heard this a million times mind you….
