NAB and FCP X

[Craig Seeman] “but the frame is as old and battered as time itself and they can’t bear to replace the dial on the radio or replace the 8 track.”

thats nicely put – and God you really do get that feeling. they are in a lover’s swan dive with their twenty year customers.

change a button and there’s war.

You’re still mocking me, I know it…

I’m fortunate to come along early enough that I got to taste every major editing shift in last 30 years. Film, A/B roll, then several flavours of digital.

Maybe that’s why I’m so pliable to change. With your background you’ve obviously seen enough change to know that they’re always a better solution. Maybe all Apple’s decisions in FCPX won’t work out and in some areas they will eventually have to back-peddle, but where Roles are concerned, I think they are on the right track towards something that doesn’t have to be as micromanaged when you don’t want to, but the control necessary to do so when it’s called for.

That’s my story and I’m sticking too it. It’s all going to be spelled out in a giant blog post I’ll finish if I can ever get a day free.

Amazing how busy I am, seeing as I’m an FCPX editor!

this is exactly how I feel.

I was VERY resistant at first, now — a year later, I see the wisdom. it’s young software but a hugely powerful tool.
