Something Professional edited in FCPX

“The promo was cut on Apple FCP X and graded on Adobe SpeedGrade.”

That’s just weird.

I just want someone who is dealing with more than 16 audio tracks to tell me honestly, is this really viable? Jeez?! what the Hell do you do? Explicitly?

Ironically, a lot of feature film edits will often top out at 16 tracks of audio in my experience – but somehow they are the benchmark for professional editing!

It’s a funny old world.

16 TEMP tracks. Holdout from Avid days where that was the max. in FCP I typcially had 16-32 tracks, and have had 24 tracks in Avid as of late. Our temp mixes need to be pretty elaborate.

But total number of audio tracks in a feature mix…done in ProTools typcially…top 100 tracks. But on project where I have no audio mix, it’s just me…I go up to 32 tracks of audio.

Indeed, this is what I meant. And as you say, very old Media Composer holdover. Amazing how many film editors still stick with this format for the day to day business of getting the cut into shape.

Might be weird, but they were serious. That’s all that matters.

I deal with more than 16 tracks in X every day. No problem at all. If I broke out the compounds here, the thing I’m cutting now has 38-40? “tracks”. (~20 stereo pairs) 🙂 Here’s a little bit of it…

Seems like a world of workarounds to me.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re talking about. I wasn’t working around anything. It’s way easier than managing that many tracks in fcp 7.

If that’s the way it works for you then great. It would not be easier for me.
