Looks like the FCP X forces converted another AVID editor. Wonder who gets the toaster prize?????

[Neil Goodman] “come out to LA, ill take you on a tour of brand new post houses and agencies. A new one pops up seemingly every day.”
LA? Should be, you aren’t comparing LA to the midwest though are you?
-
no not comparing.
you provided an example of what its like where you are – this is what its like here. Not making comparisons but region by region you will see different trends. So when you say individuals may have an advantage where you are – Im saying they dont here.

[Neil Goodman] “region by region you will see different trends”
Agreed, but are you saying that over all in the country large scale production houses are on the rise?
Large scale post house growth is out pacing small and independents across this country?
So many people obviously don’t live in LA. My brother does and works in the biz out there so I get out there a lot.

Steering it back to the actual video that was posted, what I found interesting about it is that it’s a good showcase for what I have always said X’s main strengths are.
If you have a timeline that has 30 “tracks” it’s fast and easy to move things around within a complicated timeline.
If you have a project with 2 thousand items organization is key.
So if you are cutting something with 3 or 4 tracks and 20 items yeah, you can just drop stuff out of the browser without tagging or marking or however you like to do it in whatever program you use.
His examples are with complicated timelines and it was interesting to see someone from that angle talk about it.
-
nope definitely not saying all that.
Im not privy to whats happening in other markets and I know LA isnt the world but it is a major center of media, where people from all over the world come to work and production houses and agencies are popping up all over. Since you provided the status of the industry where you live – I figured Id give a glimpse into where I live. Not sure where you’re getting the rest from?

[Neil Goodman] “Since you provided the status of the industry where you live – I figured Id give a glimpse into where I live.”
OK, but I already know about where you live. There are like 4 million people in LA and not only do you have TV and video work, you also have a great deal of Feature Film work.
Most places in the country don’t have feature film work so that’s not really an equal comparison with the majority of people who do production work.
It’s like saying there are a bunch of casino jobs in Vegas. Yeah, I would think so.
My brother works for Disney out there. He couldn’t do what he does here. We don’t have those types of opportunities in this market or in MOST markets.
I didn’t do the Stanley Cup independently, that’s not possible or what I’m talking about. I’m talking about small to mid clients.
[Neil Goodman] ” Not sure where you’re getting the rest from?”
The rest of what from?
-
clearly a miscommunication going on.. all good cheers.

[Neil Goodman] “I think this forum has come along way in 8 years.
We have all accepted FCPX for what is. Seems like you are still searching for some sort of validation.”
Really?
Seems to me the forum is a shadow of its former self.
I post something the slightest bit provocative and the same guys respond that I might have expected to in 2012, and with the same responses!
Meanwhile the other X hangouts are beehives of discussion with hundreds of threads and tens of thousands of active members worldwide.
Considering the head start we had here, this might have been closer to that by now, but alas. That ship sailed long ago.
And I have all the “validation” I ever needed.
My editorial tools are super fast and super reliable, just as I predicted over and over. My clients are happy. I have editing friends all over the world now. And get to live on top of a ridge in Southern California and get to enjoy an ocean breeze every afternoon coming through my windows while I work.
If I knew I would have ended up here, doing this, I wouldn’t have changed a thing.
And I hope everyone else can say exactly the same.
I hope the AVID and Premiere Pro folk are all every bit as happy with their choices, and situations as I am with mine.
Life is way too short for anything else, really. .

“Seems to me the forum is a shadow of its former self.”
That’s mainly a result of people moving to the facebook professional forums.
“I post something the slightest bit provocative and the same guys respond that I might have expected to in 2012, and with the same responses!”
The question you might want to ask is why you’re posting something provocative about FCPX in 2019. The video industry overall has incorporated it into the mix along with the Adobe suite of programs, Avid and Resolve and they all seem to co-exist just fine.
This argument about tools of the craft was once sleep inducing and at this stage, it’s coma inducing.

Bill Davis – “Radio is functionally a dead business walking.”
Uh…hardly. It’s still HUGE. Many many millions still listen to it. And not only talking music stations, just ask Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity…dozens of right wing pundits who have multi-million dollar contracts about how dead radio is.
You might see some of the future right, but man, are you off the mark here.
