Spent the Evening with iMovie 11

David,
I haven’t heard anyone talking about 2 monitor set-up so far, I didn’t know it was under question,
so I didn’t realise you were serious with that point…Again, I’d LOVE to be proven wrong, but let’s wait for 2 months and everything will be revealed… uhh…
that sounds like borrowed from reality television “everything will be revealed in the next episode…” or maybe from Lost 🙂 -
See, David, it’s getting moved to Final Cut Pro X forum,
it’s a separate application 🙂 -

‘Who moved my Cheese?’
I hope Apple does not move our’s!”
If that is your worry then I think you missed the point of the book.

No Mio.
The FCX forum has been set to put together all those senseless discussions so they do not contaminate a working forum.
For e the only interesting thing on those posts was the reaction of the FC community.
Those posts shows that If anything has been going down with FCS in terms of professionality are the users, no the applications.Most what I’m seeing are “FC-operators” crying “where is my button in this cheap application that looks like iMovie”?. Well, I understand that for people that has started video editing with FC, this is a mayor step on their career.
Then I see long experience video-editors (some of them closed to retirement) cautious, but excited. Sure most will feel lazy to open a manual again, but no fear (new manuals, new formats, new challenges is what made them professionals). Just another step.
What I really would like to have are some reactions of PP and AVID users.
Personally I foresee a massive migration from those apps to FCX 🙂
Cheers,

Personally, I’m already digging my 30 days CS5 trial 🙂

Indeed, it may not be the armchair you know and love, but at least its an armchair right? Shall I bring you your slippers too? 😉

You’ll always be welcome back home 🙂[Andy Mees] “[Rafael Amador] “Then I see long experience video-editors (some of them closed to retirement) … ”

Well, the truth is that the economic downturn has delayed for many the retirement a couple of years.
Two more year to master FCX 🙂

It’s not a matter of [Rafael Amador] “”where is my button in this cheap application that looks like iMovie”?.”
It’s a matter of professional tools that we use every single day. Just one example, assigning tracks for ProTools audio mixing. As the new FCP-X is a “trackless” editing system, how do you align all the audio tracks properly so the ProTools designer knows what is what in the mix?
Do you have the answer to that?
It’s not buttons and it’s not the new interface. It’s how does this thing work in a true professional environment when interfacing with outside tools and in stringent broadcast environments.
Do you have the answer to that too?
