still driving me nuts

Hahaha… I know it’s like Scientology. I used to be like that ten years ago when I started out on Apple… 😉
I still love their OS system and everything, but not the way they try to dictate HOW you have to work. These bloody updates can render your computer slow and useless if you update to quickly. Ruined my perfectly working iPad2 that way. So yeah… Apple… .;-)There’s another trick though: just copy the 10.1.4 version from the Application Folder – save it somewhere with a different name. Upgrade tot 10.2.1 and then just put 10.1.4 back in the Applications Folder.
So I will certainly give a whirl sometime soon… I want to use the full power of my new MacPro. -

Well, Apple provides a dialog to export an XML in the previous version. This is a very welcome and new functionality that allows a version of backwards compatibility, but apparently I am now a scientologist for pointing these types of things out?

Time for an audit?

HAHAHA!
I don’t think he was referring to you.
Well, my MacBook Pro is coming back this weekend, I loaned it to a friend in dire need of a scientologist’s apparatus. I’m first going to upgrade it on there and test it out in my own hemisphere before causing potential problems with my client. So thanks!
I do like a lot of things on the new version. Does it finally have an audio crossfade? Decent audiometers? A mixer?? 😉

[Mike Warmels] “I do like a lot of things on the new version. Does it finally have an audio crossfade? Decent audiometers? A mixer?? 😉
“No mixer or one touch cross fade on audio components that are attached to video. There is a lot of room for improvement in many areas.

Yeah, I figured as much.
I do wonder though how a mixer would work on FCPX. I imagine it needs some role dedicated mixer, and not track based. And that would require some (welcomed) discipline on assigning roles to the different types of audio. I’d certainly like that, especially if you can also custom color the different roles.

Only by the bust of LRH.

Where am I condescending? I pointed out your clear lack of experience with the program. What’s wrong with that? So you have friends who know X better? Let them come here and make criticism. But they aren’t doing that. You are. Like everyone else you are welcome to the debate. But your lack of first hand experience is completely relevant when you do so. Everyone gets to judge how much of your opinions spring from knowledge, and how much from ignorance, or a mix of the two. That’s all. Fixing stuff exclusively to ” make this work like I’m used to working!!!” is something that bores many of us. Most X editors I know (and that’s a lot, internationally!) do not want to go back to the old days. Learn the software properly as it is – and then bitch about it. I’ll be more ready to listen. My opinion and my 2 cents only.

Please stop here. You’re embarrassing yourselves. Accept the simple truth that you stumbled in here, Mike, full of half baked outdated and incorrect assumptions about this software. You exposed your ignorance about it and we’re robustly called out. Leave it there. If you want to explore and learn the actual nature of the program and debate its merits and flaws, fine. But you have homework to do.
David Roth Wise, I’m deeply disappointed in you. This is at least the second time you have tried to paint X users as cultists on par with Scientologists. That is insulting, extremely rude and you should apologize to everyone here.Know someone who teaches video editing in elementary school, high school or college?

[Mike Warmels] “I sometimes get the idea that people who worship FCPX work alone… not in larger workgroups with different locations, different set ups, audio mixers, color graders, broadcasters and their broadcast requirements…”
Another incorrect idea. Keep them coming. And no, we don’t worship FCPX; but we do like to correcting mistaken ideas about FCPX.
