Short read on the frustration over the title “editor” meaning too little

Sorry dude.
I write my ideas down for everyone to judge. Good or bad.
I don’t “do” click through links to other people’s ideas when I’m in a discussion. I may quote someone, but I generally prefer to speak for myself and make my own arguments.
If you feel that you need to rely on links to other peoples creations in order to make your points, that’s cool.

You did a post a few days back which almost seemed reasonable and made me, ever so slightly start warming to you.
Back to siberia it is. You are still a pompous oaf it seems.

[Bill Davis] “Your entire problem is that they stopped taking care of YOU. So you’re pissed. And you feel slighted.”
[Bill Davis] “many here have been griping about it for a year, and after a year, they keep demonstrating that they haven’t been able to grasp how it actually works beyond a surface level.”
[Bill Davis] “I have a better tool for my personal style of editing. You have one you won’t or can’t embrace.
I win. You lose. Sorry about that. But the industry and life in general moves on.
But really, If all you have to contribute is “bad mouthing the big bad company” then I’d suggest you either contribute meaningfully or go over to read the other software’s groups.”
[Bill Davis] “It would also be a lot more useful then coming here and telling guys like me that we’re all just not clever enough to see the arrogance and sadness being imposed upon us by big bad Apple.”
Gee Bill get out of bed the wrong side or what? Bit of an unnecessary rant for a throwaway one liner isn’t it.

You didn’t even let me get an “I told you so” in!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I like FCPX or anything crazy like that. Just maybe the whole “paradigm” was due a major shake-up

for absolute sure – and plus there’s some parts of X I really truly do like – mostly the CC attributes granted, but that’s a pretty big thing. Also, when its in the mood, it runs ludicrously well on an i7 iMac, I find you can just keep throwing vignette masks, defocus, CC at clips til the cows come home. And no one has to talk about CUDA.
I also like the implementation of the effects drawer, like where it is, and how accessible it is, getting an instant preview of the effect is pretty damn cool too. That said – ultimately I’ll find much more effects punch in Premiere, because I’ve been at AE since 4.1 – so I’m likely to be cooking with gas there. and also the R&D at adobe completely slays Apple. Whatever is left in pro apps couldn’t push out the warp stabilizer if you gave them ten years I don’t think. they had ten years to do dynamic trimming and they never got it together. Adobe did it in 12 months.
I still hate the – forced tagging, no you cannot have bins – thing, the single keyword collection viewable at a time, that utter joke of a timeline, the audio waveforms, they don’t even deserve to be called waveforms – maybe “vector simplified jagged crud at the bottom of the clip lozenge” would be more like it…
And also the insane amount of chrome and unnecessary animation going on everywhere – that drives me mad. Apple have completely lost it when it comes to app GUIs – someone has eaten their brains there. wait until they stick in magic sparkly brush icons for dissolves…thats just a really long winded way of saying that there is stuff I really like in X – i just find it an unusable application, also I don’t see any signs of it being adopted anywhere, absolutely anywhere in London – no one has, not a single soul, I keep asking around. If I ever get around to buying a new computer, I see X as the thing I’ll use to pull the video off the 4S and mess around with. literally just that.
Ultimately, all it is is a souped up iMovie – Its a shortform mess about app, in that context I actually find it a little expensive.
but, you know – Premiere 6?
YAY.
