[Simon Ubsdell] “I think the big problem is they just don’t have the resources …”
Ironic, given they’re the biggest, most successful tech company on planet earth, isn’t it?
I don’t think it’s about resources, I think it’s about priorities. Testing doesn’t seem to be very high on the list these days.

[Herb Sevush] “What else needs to be said about it?”
Just that, you did a good job of explaining why you can’t use it for your work.
I wanted to see more break downs of it pro and con.
I guess like Andrew implied, many must be OK with it.

It could be so, but I wonder.
The whole “beta broadcast monitoring” thing really smacks of hysterical desperation – although to be honest they should probably have called a whole lot of the other junk “beta” while they were at it.
Everything suggest they are waaaaaaaaaay behind whatever schedule they set themselves – and in all probability without a gameplan as to how to get abreast of any of it.

After last year’s fiasco, I imagine they’ll be very careful. I’ve heard from several sources that they apparently thought they hit it out of the park at the NAB sneak peak and were completely blindsided by industry response after the June 21 release. I get the impression they’ve been scrambling ever since then.

That’s just so great – they really don’t have a clue how much they’ve messed up, which means they have even more work to do than we can possibly imagine.

“I was going to ask, “How could they misjudge the industry that badly?” but then I remembered how much negative feedback they supposedly got from the pros that did preview it. Pretty perplexing.

I think it’s actually pretty simple. FCPX has engineering groupthink written all over it. It’s easy to imagine they convinced themselves that their new model was better, without understanding the limitations or getting any early feedback. By they time they started showing it around, it was probably too late to make any significant changes.
I have to tip my hat to you, Jim. The hoops you’re jumping through to make FCPX work your way are both clever and a little scary. Are you using the Position Tool a lot with your new project template?

I am David. For the most part (sans full editing) the secondaries are pretty much tracks once you get them to stay put. And they do have the advantage of holding CCs, so you can use them to assemble and then to master, so there are real pluses.
My favorite thing is using the locked secondaries to force the audio alley under the primary and having your edits go there and stay there. And I tweaked it a little more so that it’s easy to do the same with, say your SFX or whatever.
The advantage being as you select audio you don’t have to keep selecting the secondary to drop it into, it acts like selecting audio tracks in 7.
