My Spanish evaluation of the “State of FCP X”, a year after its presentation.

If you could give us a brief summary in English here that would be terrific.

The article does a good job describing why I like FCPX very succinctly too.

What fun to read.

It’s like an article length version of the adorable “translated” assembly instructions for a complicated kids Christmas toy – only a bit more surreal.

It’s also pretty amazing that we live in a world where a couple of clicks on the web will decode another language instantly to give us the sense of the thoughts of someone expressing themselves from within another culture.

It’s also cool that if you select anything in the artical, you get the original Spanish text and can perhaps sense how the computer translation relates (for better or worse) to the original.

The power of the searchable, globally connected world continues to reveal itself.

I was amazed at how accurate the translation was. A couple of minor things here and there but over all great.

Waiting for the day TVs can do both auto subtitling and captioning by “hearing” the words. No titling or captioning needed. Imagine also translating already displayed titles as well. I suspect that will happen.

He says background rendering occurs WHILST you do other stuff which NO OTHER NLE DOES.

My understanding is background rendering was just automatic rendering that occurred whilst you WEREN’T doing something.

Either my understanding is wrong or people keep banging on about this awesome feature that doesn’t actually exist. Though I’m getting quite used to FC10 championing being rather selective when it ones to reality.

So am I wrong? Does it indeed render whilst you work. Or is it faux and more marketing nonsense that is being pushed into the realm of urban myth?

Background processing (transcode to Pro Res, copy source files, analyze footage) does happen in the background, even while working in the app. Rendering only happens when the mouse is idle (when enabled in the preferences).

You’re right, it’s mostly not background rendering as such and most people who know FCPX actually turn it off. I wish people wouldn’t claim it does, it just makes more food for the trolls

Indeed it does.

Though at the same time, those that extoll shouldn’t possibly get it right.
