[Aindreas Gallagher] “Realistically, in terms of the timeline operation, X remains probably total bullshit as an editing system.”

I imagine there are probably quite a few people who would disagree with you on that. Me for one. But I’m just cutting advertising for movies, so what do I know…

I don’t know of a single person that cares what’s going on in London but I’m guessing you live there so maybe you do. What is Sky and beeb ww?

i think the latter part is like pbs?

And Sky is news, like Fox News or CNN? I don’t think anyone cares what they’re using over here either. I do happen to know CNN has gone Adobe. But doesn’t mean much to me. Either app takes a few weeks in the trenches to get up to speed. Until Premiere becomes the defacto standard and FCP X disappears, I think I’ll save my money. I’m on the CC right now for the other apps, but I’ve found a few replacements for PS and AI. AE’s replacement will be Motion unless I can’t do something in Motion. Hoping to cut the cord in April.

That’s my point. 🙂 If some major network or something decides to start cutting on Vegas does it really mean anything? Nope.

In 2002 the whole HBS setting was Avid, from laptops for the 14 eng teams to Symphonys at the IBC.

A few years later for the Asian Games in Doha, an operation just under the summer olympics in size, it was all tapeless EVS with Clean Edit (and a very early version at that) plus one tape based room with an old Sony 2000 for backup.

This time they are going with Premiere. Why not? But it does not mean they will stay with it the next time, or the one after that…

Perhaps if you stopped first everyone else would follow?

If you don’t like the continuous action of (real) football then you could try watching Rugby, it’s like US Football but without the TV breaks and heavy padding for the players?

I’m not saying you have to like it, but it’s not bullshit.

It does take some getting used to, but once it’s there, the fcpx timeline for video editing is quite remarkable.

Sorry, but it’s true at least for me.

I am I the midst of a two week client attended promo edit and X allows a lot of ideas to be procured quickly and non destructively, and Auditions in combination with the magnetic timeline as well as “blade speed” are truly an advancement in editing design. Having secondary storyline pods to play in and try ideas without disrupting the rest of the timeline is the antithesis of bullshit. And once fcpx really starts to make sense, the “Project” moniker starts to actually make some sense, but that’s probably another conversation. It fits my needs, it might not fit everyone.

Audio editing could use some help, the UI could use some refinement especially in layer selection and management, some aspects of Library aren’t my favorite, but the structure and methods of the timeline are quite powerful and creative, much more so than Pr’s, and Legend’s clunky timeline.

For dialog, X is a layup.
