Premiere vs. FCPX

[Jim Giberti] “[Rich Joyce] “Face it FCPX’ers It is now going to be a Premiere and Avid world instead of a FCP and Avid world. The speed of warp stabilzer is not going to veer people away. I tried to embrace FCPX but feel that Apple let me down in terms of pleasing professional editors.”
Do we really have to Rich, that’s it, you’ve got the official word?
Apple let you down, but you don’t represent professional editors.
You represent you.”
I agree. There’s nothing to face. X has its superior features in a number of areas. It just ain’t that kind of a contest.

[Joseph Mastantuono] “‘m running a Mac Pro 2010 model, with a GTX285, and it runs like a dream, output through my Blackmagic Decklink 3d”
I’ve got a GTX285 in 2008 8 core. Glad to hear.

[David Lawrence] “In addition to this, if you’re using the mouse to drag clips to the timeline, holding down the shift key lets you slide the audio to any track you wish while keeping the video on the track you initially placed it on. Try it. It’s very cool.
“Cool!

[Bret Williams] I’m just choosing the blackmagic presets
WAIT- are you using the same Blackmagic drivers as in 5.5 to set up a sequence preset in 6? If you are that may be your problem. They changed it so you don’t need to do that anymore. That’s what the whole “mercury transmit” thing is about. You just tell premiere what device you want to use to monitor with, and it works for any sequence.
I believe Blackmagic has 6.0 specific drivers now.

John Davidson how the heck do you turn off the automatic playback of the sequence after render?
In Preferences under General- uncheck “Play work area after rendering previews”

[Jules bowman] “Bill, I jump down your throat when you’ve rolled over many of us with the X is ahead of the curve and we can’t evolve line or argument, so I think it only fair of me to doff my hat to you for this post.
We may now resume sniping at each other and the balance of the universe will be resumed.

See – you couldn’t ignore him, even if it’s for a compliment!

In terms of broadcast I/O playback and smoothness in operation. CS6 can finally compete with FCP7. ( yes, classic)
FCPX and CS6 are both awesome and both will deserve their place.

Bret Williams This isn’t a major rewrite to 64 bit. It’s not a new app. It’s a decent upgrade, but nothing that should have been an overwhelming endeavor.
I know to us casual observers it might seem that way, but there was actually a lot going on under the hood for this version. Re-writing the Mercury Engine to use OpenCL was very likely no small task. They also re-built the entire timeline and entirely overhauled the audio aspects.
Also keep in mind, a lot of the plans Adobe originally had for PPro CS6 probably got pushed aside when the FCP refugees started pouring in and asking for changes.
All things considered, I think Adobe did an incredible job.

Thanks for taking the time to explain in more detail, Lance.
