[James Mortner] “That’s really stretching the idea of a “wedding video”, Bill. No slurring speeches, no awkward dance, no drunken disco.”
That they let us see…

I really agree with alot of what you’re saying, Marvin.
Technology has and continues to do amazing things, and certainly the advancements of the last decade have opened doors for me personally that would have remained firmly shut before.
But, I get very frustrated and quite frankly exhausted with the agressive and at times downright hostile tone of techies and software developers. FCPX is a case in point. I dont believe the editing community is made up of reluctant dinosaurs but it is made up of people who have a respect for established paradigms and workflows because they have stood the test of time and in many cases enhance, not stifle, creativity. A software designers idea of elegance may very well be an editors idea of hell.
Once again we have an article by someone espousing this supposed revolution, agressively so, who by the looks of things knows precious little and looks to have next to no respect for the editing process. All this stuff about being ‘stuck in the past’ if your not already praising the wisdom of Saint Ubillos of Apple is such utter clap trap I can barely stomach any more of it. Just because someone wants a viewer and tracks they are antiquated and need to be put out of their misery? Please – these are talented people who will continue to do great work.
This sort of divisive nonsense is perhaps what I dislike about FCPX most of all. These kind of proponents do the software no favours amongst the people that need to be convinced, IMHO.
