June 3, 2015 at 9:14 pmAh right that makes sense. Still, operational I don’t experience the non-integration.
The new Compressor gets extremely bad response in the App Store. Is that justified?

June 3, 2015 at 9:17 pmI never tried making then myself, but about 10 professional editors who work on FCPX said there was an issue. I think it’s the XD-Cam format: MPEG2-HD422.

It seems to me if I can hijack your statement for a more global point. That we are all speaking from personal operational experience which can sometimes feel like it is absolute in the heat of the debate; but there is no absolute objective stance in this discussion though some may try to imply otherwise. There may have been a time when a majority of the group called editors could agree on a set of definitions for what and how we do what we do, but that time has passed. Our preferences all come from our personal operational history with any particular NLE. I don’t operationally experience any cognitive dissonance with differing nomenclature whereas others on this discussion board do.

Hmm. I’d be curious to know what happens when you try it out.

June 3, 2015 at 9:42 pmMe neither in a strict sense. It is what it is.
However there seems to be a tendency to consider everything that’s been around for many years as old, old fashioned, obsolete. That’s just as insulting as some people feel when FCPX gets criticism. Renaming things with words with meanings that makes no sense * coughprojectcough * may be part of that feeling.
I mean, all this agressive behaviour in this thread started with me remarking that I could not see wat FCPX is really faster, as was always one of the Major claims. Also that it was easy to learn an intuitive. Now an FCPX got angry suggesting it takes a long time to really know how to use FCPX. Wasn’t that always the criticism directed at AVID??

I’m not sure what they’re saying about it, but it’s probably for the most part unjustified. It’s a pretty good app although since it went through it’s makeover, I’ve found some of the features are tucked away so they’re difficult to find, and there are certainly things it can’t do.
Media Encoder is probably more comprehensive of the conversion programs although I find it a bit clunky to use. Compressor is pretty easy, but as I said, comes with the price where some of the advanced features are more hidden than they used to be.

But I assume you would agree that what makes sense or what makes no sense varies from person to person. And the problem is mainly that we sometimes take each other too seriously, rather than seeing that each of us has a different perspective and a different set of expectations for how we work and interact as professionals.

So that makes your defense “hey, the other kid did it first!”
Something I taught my son was utterly lame when he was in 5th grade.
I thought you had come back to re-engage this community as an adult.
I see I was mistaken.
