Premiere Pro CC versus FCP X

[Walter Soyka]

[Devin Crane] “Still misses the point of the thread.”

I’m not trying to derail the thread, I’m trying to contribute to it.

If you are citing Premiere Pro’s lack of templates like FCPX/M5 has as a reason you switched away, why wouldn’t the fact that Pr/Ae just added that feature be germane to the conversation?

I didn’t bring this up to change anybody’s mind. I brought it up to provide relevant information that readers here may be unaware of.

Oliver, my apologies for the noise.

I think anytime someone can correct inaccurate information it adds to the discussion.

Hi David. What is your workflow from Fcp x to resolve and back?

Mac Pro, macbook pro, Imacs (i7); Canon 5D Mark III/70D, Panasonic AG-HPX170/AG-HPX250P, Canon HV40, Sony Z7U/VX2000/PD170; FCP 6 certified; FCP X write professionally for a variety of media; teach video production in L.A.

I appreciate trying to keep it on track, but yes, info is always helpful. I think we can skip the “anti-subscription” replies unless that really was a contributing factor in shifting away from Premiere Pro after having started down that route. What’s more interesting is those folks who really liked Premiere Pro after using it, but for whatever reason have shifted to FCP X. Maybe that’s “tracks versus trackless”, faster editing, the new Mac Pro or change in corporate direction. This isn’t anything formal BTW, just idle curiosity. Thanks.

Isn’t this the forum where it’s virtually mandatory to have at least a dozen insane (but incredibly interesting) changes of direction per thread?

When shooting in ProRes with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera, bring the files into X for editing then export XML, bring into Resolve for correction or grading.

When shooting in raw I go with a workflow similar to what Denver Riddle from Color Grading Central uses:

Pretty straightforward workflow.

Actually, people get incensed if you correct anything. They’d prefer to wallow in ignorance apparently.

Super slick workaround, Walter! I came up against this issue just yesterday–working with editors who really would struggle to go into AE and adjust the background box for some text. This would totally simplify the process. It also seems sort of future proof to me–not quite sure how Adobe could break that without messing with how expressions work.

[Walter Soyka] “It’s not as good as the FCPX/M5 rigging/publishing workflow (yet), but it does handle the base case pretty nicely. “

Does everyone using the templates need to have AE installed?

Thanks, Justin. This workflow might be a good fit for you.

With expressions, you could even automatically resize the type or box based on the length of the text, no additional user-exposed parameters required.
