macbook air and fcpx- the new portable edit suite

[Timothy Auld]

There has been a treble clef, a bass clef, a staff, and a time signature for centuries. No one has repurposed the clefs, eliminated lines of the staff, or changed the value of the notes.

Craig –

I oversee the post for a 26 episode series. I cut about 8 shows myself, the others are cut by a diverse group of freelancers, working at home on their own gear. When they finish their cuts I spend about 2 days polishing and finishing on mine. Up till now I’ve standardized on FCP7. Most editors can switch to Avid or PPro very easily because of the shared conventions. The pool of these similarly trained editors makes my kind of workflow possible. The time savings from a new type of insular editing approach would have to be very large to offset the advantages I get by being in the mainstream.
