Prem vs FCPX – Panels

[Brett Sherman] “I just don’t like the pop-up interface design of things like Neat Video or Color Finale. You have to keep launching the window when moving from clip to clip”
You do not have to keep launching CFP’s window when moving from clip to clip. It stays open i.e. pops up on its own when your on a clip with CFP applied and/or have it selected in the inspector and disappears in the opposite case. Of course assuming you didn’t manually close it’s window yourself at some point.

Dude! Got to say–NOT my experience at all! Sorry you are going through that. Maybe you have setup issues or some plugin conflict.

Then print it out and save yourself a massive waste of space all at the same time! ????

Oh please. You know better, Oliver. And you clearly must have skipped my post: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/335/93745#93819To suggest there are any even ever so slight similarities is just antagonistic nonsense, sorry.
But if so, tell me: how many windows, tabs, slider, buttons, pop-up menu clicks and screen space do you need to see the effects, blend mode, transformations, cropping, distortion, stabilization or channel configuration, metadata, project settings etc. etc. etc. all at the same time or with max two clicks in Premiere? And how many keystrokes or mouse-clicks do you need to make every last bit of that disappear completely from the GUI again?? As in nothing more than maybe a button visible at best?
Exactly.

May very well be. We’ll have to take your word for it. Only, strangely enough, I was just recently reading an Adobe post on Facebook announcing one of the updates to PPro and it had near 300 comments. Of those comments I could spot maybe FIVE that were positive through and through scrolling through the list. The rest were nothing but ranting users saying that they’d far prefer Adobe finally rid them of age old bugs, and “Let us know when you guys release a version that’s more than just a glorified beta test…” and the likes. Saying they’d prefer Adobe not keep tacking on features for the sake of features that only a hand full of users even actually need instead.
So I guess, statistically speaking, you may be an anomaly? I know that I’m not, and I speak for more than 50 installed seats on otherwise bare-bones, current gen Macs. No unusual setups, no plugins and a fraction of the stability (and usability) one would hope for.

Don’t know what to tell you. Its working here in Hollywood pretty well. My machines are fine. The machines in the last two companies I sat in at are fine. The place I’m going to work for the next month–all it seats are fine. Everyone else I know in the promo world who is using it is having fun, and thinks its fine. Do bugs crop up now and then? Sure. But, when don’t they?
Hey! Here’s the last thing I cut on it that isn’t NDAed:

[Chris Harlan] “Its working here in Hollywood pretty well.”
That’s great! Good to hear. (although I have no clue how the location is the least bit relevant, other than maybe for the sake of… oh never mind…)
I’m just saying that I’m unable to say the same for the aforementioned seats nor apparently can the long list of other users, with comments like “No way I am going to upgrade after the most recent AE and Pr fiasco! It added a WEEK to my workflow, and I am still shaken. Trust is broken.”
Also, the vast majority of negative things I read about Final Cut Pro X are along the tired lines of “The magnetic timeline sux, dude!”. Don’t remember when I last read about show-stopping instability or bugs like that. Which is not to say there aren’t any around somewhere, just not in forums and groups I read where actual users are. I.e. outside of company PR channels.

When I first heard about this tool, I thought it was going to open the door to some really cool text scanning/subtitle generating/audio matching magic, but if it is just having a pdf open in a window within premiere surely its just as easy to have acrobat open while you edit? I’m not criticising, I’d love to know if there is anything more this can do than just opening the pdf in a window? I’ve always preferred a printed copy to sit making my own doodles and notes on, but if someone developed the ability to scan a script for keywords, generate basic subtitles, add markers for scenes etc, I could see this being a really cool addition….

Dude! You’re just a permanent hater, and there’s no getting around it. I’m guessing you have a “Death to Adobe” tat. Location, of course, has nothing to do with it. Its just where I am, and where I see a lot of Premiere. You may read where actual users are, but I work where actual users are. Avid’s still the winner, here. But that’s changing. X is nudging in too, here and there.
If you can’t remember X having some “show stopping bugs” from time to time, than you’re just not trying hard enough. After all, it began with show-stopping issues! And, really, you don’t remember some of the buggier iterations from time to time? Very selective memory, man! I’m not knocking X, I’m just saying its had some of the same growing pains everything else has.
I have to say this latest FCPX is pretty exciting, too. With the audio sorted in a way that’s usable for me, I’m looking forward to trying it out again.

Good question. Was wondering the same. Since, if you can’t e.g. hightlight, edit or maybe copy/paste text from the PDF, what’s the point or notable advantage? If you can, cool.
[Tom Sefton] “I’ve always preferred a printed copy to sit making my own doodles and notes on”
Same here, but to each his own.
