New Walter Murch FCPX interview (from macvideo)
-
Well, whatever. I think the biggest take away is that the most prolific and high profile Final Cut editor can’t use it and has finally come forward and vocalized why. But nothing he said was surprising or insightful if you were to read this forum.
Maybe because it was “measured” it allows more of the same banality to seep through so we can spend the next month psycho analyzing what “he really meant”. But it all boils down to, he can’t use it, now! That says it all.
Yes, he was measured…but what did anyone expect from an insider? Him to start ripping off his clothes and start a Begbie inspired bar fight over it….that’s probably what Aindreas would do…

Roles won’t replace tracks.
[Jeremy Garchow] ” It could. Instead of tracks, you have Roles, and a Role can get assigned to a channel, kind of like they do now on Multi Channel audio QT Exports from FCPX.”
I’ll say it again, roles won’t replace tracks. It’s a band aid.
If you’ve spent a decade using a multi-track and like roles, I won’t understand it, but there it is. You do…I think roles are not an acceptable replacement in my opinion. Maybe for projects that are exceedingly simple. But even still, meh…

For you.

That’s fine. I’ve spent more time than that with tracks, but whatever, that doesn’t mean anything to anyone.
I do accept a metadata centric workflow, I have been wanting it for a long time. I have been working with metadata for while now and I needed third party tools to get the most of out it, and Roles, I think, is a pretty cool idea. It needs to be expanded from it’s current iteration, but so does FCPX as a whole.
I can understand if people won’t like it. There’s plenty of options out there to choose from.

There is nothing wrong with expanding on what works or adding a new feature. Just don’t throw out how other people *prefer* to work trying to appear innovative…it’s forcing stuff like this that really is FCX’s undoing…

[Jeremy Garchow] “For you”
And an industry that won’t embrace it for this and a litany of other shortcomings…

Yep, we are all going to die.

Some of us are in denial of course 😉
