You’re probably right, although the major condescending by some makes it look like it

[TImothy Auld] “You are blessed.”
I dunno about that… you should meet my clients. 😉
I’m kidding of course. They are all wonderful! Particularly those who enjoy ready editors’ forum posts! xoxo

There’s condescension being tossed from all sides here. That’s what makes it fun!
Though, as someone who primarily edits lolcat videos to post on youtube, it can be tough on me sometimes. Lowest of the low….

I always suspected that you were the lowest of the low. Until now that was on my resume. Guess I’ll have to think of another superlative for myself.

What News production houses are using is moot to me when it comes to NLE choices.
In fact, if you are frustrated with FCP X and it’s perceived limitations and you are in the TV News industry… you better take a deep breath.
It’s just the beginning… simplification is coming, across a broad spectrum in our industry.
Speaking of the BBC… I enjoyed this little GEM on Smartphone Video Journalism Tips:
It’s funny – a few years ago we were lacking a key 3-second overlay shot for a sponsorship promo… so… we shot it with an iPhone4s at the time.
This shot made it alongside our full XDCAM HD422 50mbit/s content that was a Nationally aired Commercial TV show that had 200,000 plus viewers!
Point is, just because telecine approaches fit our old heads snugly…doesn’t mean changes won’t come that may challenge our established thinking on how content will be shot, ingested, edited and then delivered.
I enjoyed this piece from an ABC shooter in Beijing a while ago:
An Australian News Shooter falls for FCP X
Major Australian Networks like the ABC are still using FCP 7… Network TEN (A company I have done a lot of work with over the years) are using AVID at the very high end in-house but News work is all done using Viz One’s EASYCUT software.
This is about ‘grab n’ go’ editing.
Even more interestingly, Australian newsrooms are going the way of many around the world…and that’s multi-skilling journos to edit their own news packages…’one stop shops’ as it were.
Senior editors are a threatened breed in major TV networks… and now often work as mentors to these news editors/journalists…or undertake high end creative/compositing work…or… go and work for a private production house.
It’s in these trends that I can see a big future for FCP X… whether you, or I – like it or not.
However, I can tell you with authority, that all major TV networks in Australia have received and aired Nationally aired TV content edited within FCP X.
Yes, I have used FCP X, delivered content with it… it still needs development but its metadata foundations and the way it handles media points to an interesting future.
Of course, products like PPro are gathering good steam here too… I am starting to sense more acceptance however for FCP X in these parts.
Do I like FCP X? Yes I do…I can see where it’s heading and does many things well already.
Things I don’t like about it? Yes… colour correction is a little Mickey Mouse, however the scopes are far better now than in FCP 7… I also did not like how Apple handles the product transition from 7 to X for the industry…to say the least.

Here’s a typical timeline of a 20′ tv-show in X. It involves green keys and multiple stacks of titles and graphics.
In all fairness the “live” audio was prepped in X (J and L cuts, audio leveling a.s.o…) and a final mix of the VO and live was done in ProTools via X2PRO (see the Final Mix clip at the bottom). In the near future the complete audio for this series will be finished right inside X as well.
This 1080p25 timeline plays un-rendered on full-spec new iMacs and MacPros without any problems, from start to end. 40 and 50 minute multicam shows involving 6 to 8 angles plus the same multiple stacks of titles and graphics also run un-rendered without any issues.
Shows like this are being cut on X on a daily basis in some of the largest European production companies. We have been doing it for nearly two years now, and I’m in regular contact with other major houses that are already doing the same thing or that are transitioning to X. Why don’t we talk about this on the internet? Because not everyone gets off on going public about what gear they use. When we used Avid and FCP we didn’t go public on that either. Simply because from a business point of view you need to keep a certain distance from your suppliers, and also because our clients really don’t give a hoot about what their programs are being cut on anyway.

I saw an interview with Milana Vayntrub on the web the other day. For those that don’t know her she is an actor and has been doing a little youtube comedic series called “Let’s talk about something more interesting” (funny)
She was asked in the interview what she cuts on and she said “final cut”
Since she has not been cutting long I took that to be X most likely.She started doing the series to get exposure and to make money since she knew of another actor that was buying a house based on his web show.
You can see Milana on nation AT&T spots now (she’s not new to TV).
She’s an actor who needed to edit because she wanted to take control and do her own thing.
She’s not Ronny, and doesn’t want to be, but she’s most likely on the same software.
That’s the genius of X
It can handle the skills of a Ronny but is accessible to Milana (or a person that’s not a full time editor and doesn’t want to be).
I see a future where Ronny and Milana both win. And so does Apple
