So where are we in the game?
-
I thought the same thing for quite a while, “why did they have to change the names?” (of projects and sequences). I’ve come to the conclusion that it needed to be different because they are not the same thing that they used to be. In that case, keeping the same naming convention would be misleading.
For example, If I sold beverages and decided to release a new and improved version of water… but it was actually vodka. It might be quite the unpleasant surprise when you go to take a nice, big, refreshing drink of my new bottled “water”. Different things NEED to have different names.
That’s my take anyway.

[Andrew Kimery] “Maybe I’m not understanding what you are saying but it’s that just saving a custom filter (which FCP Legend, Avid and, I assume),PPro can all do)? And in Avid (and maybe PPro, I don’t know) you can apply a CC effect that spans multiple clips (maybe even the whole sequence) by placing it on an empty, top video track (as opposed to FCP 7 where you had to apply the filter to each clip).”
What Bill is talking about is source-side color correction of the master clip before it’s on the timeline. FCP7 could do this, but not MC. The exception is MC7, which now enables source-side LUTs. FCP X expands the source correction with range-based selection on the source side. OTOH, it doesn’t support LUTs, except the default Log-C correction for newer Alexa files.
I will add though – as someone who does color correction all the time with every edit I do – source side correction for anything other than an overall setting is pretty pointless. Color correction is contextual from shot-to-shot. Yes, you can do it in X, but why? Range-based correction of the source would be unnecessarily time-consumming for riding iris changes and most likely incorrect once it’s on a timeline. But heck, if that floats your boat I guess it’s fine.

You can do this in FCPX too. Though it’s not an advertised feature, you can make “adjustment layers” which effect everything below it with whatever filters you put on it.

the way PPro is throwing LUTs around is pretty mad tho – to some extent PPro and speedgrade is the now the wet dream that every FCP editor had for a long time.
On steve’s thing – how is there not an avenue for X to seriously advance right now? I mean, everything is still in flux two years later, untold masses of people are still sitting on 7 – the keywording and tagging system is basically unmatched architecture, Shane ross even said that it was starting to give him pangs from an organisational standpoint – Apple pro apps have been cooking basically for more or less a year now right?
from a basic popcorn perspective, I’m beyond curious to see what they decided to do with the application two years in.https://vimeo.com/user1590967/videos http://www.ogallchoir.net promo producer/editor.grading/motion graphics

My standpoint exactly. They’ve been working on whatever this update is since AT LEAST last October. I also find it interesting that there seems to be a pretty effective blackout on info on whatever it is. If guys like Larry aren’t getting any solid info–
Intensely curious is my state of mind.

The rumor mills are completely quiet for the longest time. Remember the leaks popping up long before X came out. Cook really has locked things down.

I think he has. Not universally. I think it would be nigh-impossible to stop the leaks on iPhone and iPad hardware. There’s just too many hands on it, and there’s seemingly too much of a reward to those who can sneak out a component here or there.
But for software and Macs, they’ve been able to keep a pretty tight lid on things. Last year’s thinning of the iMac was a big surprise. And no one but no one had any idea what the MacPro looked like before that video ran at WWDC.
Most recently Logic Pro X dropped out of the blue with no warning at all.
Especially with software, where the people who would conceivably see 10.1 would be the development team, and their immediate supervisors– there HAVE to be some beta testers, but the two people I know of that could potentially have early access are in the dark as well.
Next month is going to be VERY interesting.

When you only have 1 1/2 engineers working on it anymore, the lid is pretty tight 😉
