Merry Christmas

Highlight the edit and press delete. Just like in legacy.
-
I didn’t even though you could do that in Legacy – I was always a right click guy.
Wasn’t it you who told me about shift t instead of tttt for select all forwards?
Mind you I think it was me who extolled the virtues of Gaps to you so that’s 2-1 to you!
Ho hum

I wish I could wait that long but I need this one badly. I wont buy immediately, I want to wait and see how people are reacting to different configurations but I won’t be waiting long. My old imac is driving me nuts.
I don’t really need the FCPX 10.1 update though, everythings going fine. The only real wish I have is proper roundtripping with LogicX
-
Are you talking about the auto-enhancements? Cause yes, they have their limits. (though light room noise can be pretty much eliminated if you have a decent signal to noise ratio).
But the Logic Pro plugins are tops- but yes, any audio plugins applied across a multi-cam edit can create a bump.
For now, my solution is to compound clip the Multi-cam before applying effects. But it would be great not to have to.
-
I think you guys are still making the mistake of thinking they were consciously looking to “get rid” of anything.
There’s a difference between not wanting to do something and not having something done.
If FCPX had no expectations of a delivery date, they maybe they could have working on it for another 1 or 2 years before releasing it into the wild- integrating more and more of the features from Legacy. But someone made the call to ship something in June 2011. And, well… what happened happened.
-
Yes I guess for something very subtle they may work but but generally I find them useless.
All those Logic plugins are great. Except I am restricted at the moment to limiter and compressor.
A whole new “thing” to learn.
No end to it is there?
-
Limiter and compressor get you a long way.
I recently spent $800 on Izotope RX3 for more muscular noise-reduction. It’s not magic, but it’s definitely a huge step up from the built-in options.
-
For sure it is way beyond the capacity of my brain to understand what’s easy and what’s difficult when it comes to creating an application as complex as FCP or any of these things.
These people are superhuman.
So I guess I am the fool on the hill thinking “why did they think that we would not need the Join Through Edit tool” or the tool I found most useful having started very briefly with Avid for my first dip of the toe in the water in the journey of multi-skilling back in 2000, but which I loved so much about FCP from the outset: “Slip or move into sync”. So easy whereas with Avid you had to enter the frames and figure if it was ahead or behind. FCP made that so simple.
But I would be genuinely interested to know who and how and why the call was made to not include some of those very basic functions.
-
All I’m saying is when you have a list of 1,000 “must have’s”, and a limited amount of time to do them in, unquestionably “essential” stuff is going to get left off the list.
Of course joining thru edits are important, but so is multi cam, broadcast monitoring, XML, or any number of other things that didn’t make it into the first release.
To make my position crystal clear, I still believe the best way to have managed this 7 to X transition would have been to position it more like OS9 to OSX, where Final Cut users could track the progress of development and jump on when the software had the features they needed.
In a way, that’s what they did- just not in a very clear or PR friendly way. 😉
-
I have to admit I find the editing process more fun with X. I enjoy working with it now. Sometimes I find dragging from event browser to timeline a bit clunky but old habits die hard.
It works better with keyboard shortcuts.
And I have advanced because it has enabled me to advance. It’s made stuff more accessible. In a way it has encouraged me to try stuff though making it more intuitive and approachable.
I actually love the trackless way it handles audio now.
18 months ago I was ready to commit myself to a mental asylum!
I am absolutely sure they will release on Xmas Eve.
In fact I’m going to see if I can get a bet on it.
