Please keep Lightworks discussions on the Lightworks forum…
-
Funny, I go to the gopro forum, EOS forum or the photoshop forum and they are littered with duplicate threads about FCPX for some reason… but to talk about something else other than FCX here is blasphemy. I kid though, it’s probably more of a forum quirk.

Oh- and if anybody of some reason has interest in the original thread…

I smirk thinking of how the discussion would go if Microsoft had released FCPX exactly as it currently stands instead of Apple (and called it Movie Maker Pro X). I highly doubt anyone here would be referring to it as “the future”.

[Chris Conlee] ” All the NLEs — Pros and Cons?”
I’d say that a forum of this kind needs (or at least benifits from) a thought provocative name. ‘Apple FCPX or Not’ is just that, in the aftermath of last years trauma (or not). So I’d say it does a good job for the forum.
I think that a more “stringent” name would beget a more “boxed in” debate.
One thing Apple succeeded at with in the way FCPX was released was to provoke a lot of us (oh- at least me, but I get the feeling I’m not alone here) into really think about what the frak we’re doing, and why. And vent a lot around that. Which I personally think is good. To get forward I at least need to stop staring at my feet. I think the debate is key for me in seeing the path forward NLE-wize (it’s not all clear yet, but slowly getting there), to get more aware of exactly what our current needs and future needs are and to get a perspective on our facility and what need change to get better.

Sorry to chime in late…but I have no idea what’s up with that original message either.

So, we can say Lightworks without being threadnapped by overly enthousiastic moderators? Neat. Because I think that we do need to discuss it (=Lightworks) within the scope of this forum, and not just isolated in its own Lightworks forum.

Who? Not me man. I’m barely awake.
Just about anything related to industry topography and the variety of products and technologies that comprise the lay of the land is all fair game.
Although topology, as in the area of mathematics concerned with continuous deformation, may be okay too. Alllll about the continuous deformation here.

Can we talk about the Sony RM 440? That was the thing back in 1981.

Only if you use it as an example to say why:
a) Everybody who loves FCPX is full of shit.
b) Everybody who hates FCPX is full of shit.
c) Old guys like me are smarter than all of you punks because we’re OLD.Anything else, take it to the Broadcasting forum.

I don’t concider myself old at all yet (planning on becoming old later on), but this is still one of the most solid video editing platforms I’ve ever worked with. The one at work hasn’t been used properly now for the last three years, and sad to say I’ve sent it to the attic just this january.
One of the best things about older more experienced co-workers (some of mine has been in broadcast since the late 60’s) is that I’ve had a lot of direct access to a vast knowledge base. One of the worst is that they’re starting to retire now. Which in turn will eventually lead to the scary point when I’m supposed to be the one who should know stuff.
