[Bill Davis] “Where am I condescending?”
May I suggest a new forum to handle the traffic for that discussion?

Okay, I guess I don’t have to ask about to orher basic stuff like audio fades, audio meter and a mixer. Outdated I’m sure by now. I’ll just continue for a while with 10.1.4 which so totally outdated a long six weeks ago.

[Mike Warmels] “And my point remains: why did FCP5/6/7 and why do AVID and Premiereall these export possibilities IN the programme and FCPX not?”
If you’re interested, I believe the answer to this is that FCPX is a purely 64 bit application and as such only 64 bit codecs are supported for export. As I understand it, Compressor is still straddling the line between 64 and 32 because it maintains support for legacy codecs. That’s how I’ve understood it anyway.

Hmm… Could be.
Still, AVID went 64bit with MC6. (We’re on MC 8.3 now, a couple of years later) and it can do all that. And always has.

[Bill Davis] “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.”
Excuse me Billy Boy, but an apology is in order, because you’re sorely mistaken, if you go back in time you’ll see that someone else here brought up the Scientology analogy about two weeks ago, not me…

[Bill Davis] “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 Accept the simple truth that you stumbled in here, Mike, full of half baked outdated and incorrect assumptions about this software.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.”Yep. Lot’s of projection. Perhaps the name of this forum should be changed to “Fundamentalist Church of the Anti-FCPX.”

Just so we can compare apples to apples, can you tell us what this magical MXF format is you’re making?
Is it IMX 50?

No need. Everything I address is outdated.

“Not entirely. Avid and other programs that maintain compatibility with 32 bit codecs have to have 32 bit code in the program to handle it. Apple decided to keep FCPX completely free of legacy code and let’s face it, it was probably the smart idea since they were writing a brand new application from the ground up, and probably didn’t want to hunt for that code when it finally goes away in the near future. In the case of Premiere and Avid, you have a program that was 32 bit to begin with, upgraded to 64 bit except where it was necessary to maintain 32bit code.
As I said, this was how it was explained to me. Since Compressor handles legacy codecs and is well-integrated into FCPX and is only $50, I’ve not found it a particular hardship to use Compressor in concert with FCPX. After all, Adobe has Media Encoder and Avid has Squeeze bundled with it so all the major NLEs include programs to supplement their export capabilities. In the case of Premiere and FCPX, the integration is deep. In the case of Avid, it’s not really integration at all.

I’m just curious. You have said it’s not possible, but MXF has been possible in FCPX even in 10.1.4, so it might be inaccurate, not outdated.
