Last time I checked the floating windows could be fixed in place if that’s what bothers you.

[Marc Wielage] “I think the tools they have in v11 will work as a conforming platform, which I think is all they ever intended.”

Whatever the application developer’s intentions are, there is an entire population that has another agenda.

In working experience, the gulf between a successful project execution and a smoking crater is usually the project exchange (roundtrip). It is the single-most huge challenge in the collaboration. Depending on the personal esteem slash confidence issues that any one particular editor might have with exporting their efforts to another facility or even workstation but also application– there are, without exception approaches and assumptions that have been made (and publishing a do’s and don’ts is even less productive than an actual manual) because no one reads either, and the application is usually changing faster than we can find and dig up all the mines that are lurking in that particular field. So whether there are simply edit approaches that aren’t supported (lots of nested sequences), or just improvised practices (cutting up a clip to execute speed and motion changes, which could be executed with keyframes but the editor didn’t know how to do that) or layering on filters and plugins that at least up to this point are either not supported, invisible, or get corrupted in the XML modification… failure. And 3x the budget in cost and schedule to fix it. Which, obviously nobody wants.

99% of what we do really is pretty straightforward. Cuts and dissolves. Titles. Paste up some stills and KenBurns them. Roll the credits. On second thought, don’t roll the credits… that really doesn’t translate well between Universal, International and Domestic frame rates. I’ve never really argued against the use of, e.g. FCPX as a tool, who cares? It still does all the same stuff — no one at home would have a clue. The difference is in the bins, and if anything resembling a point can be taken from this, the real strength of an NLE is not necessarily in what you can do on the timeline (as long as everybody else understands how that works) is offering the right choices to an editor, so the catalog is supporting the story. Its likely not well understood, but if I were to guess, that’s really the puck that Apple was trying to skate to. Problem is that the ice is pretty thin around there.
