Thanks Apple!

[greg janza] “The fact that you were able to retrieve a project five years old is great. Does that really have any relevance in most post-production environments? no. A five year old project for most is ancient, out of date and irrelevant.”
Well, not really. I’ve recently had to revive a 10 year old project, one shot mainly with P2 footage, so that I could export sections of it for use on another project (and get the raw footage used in the cut by accessing the sequence and revealing in the finder on the drive). And a couple years ago, I had to dig into a project that’s 16 years old, all shot in DV. To make a couple changes so they could sell that project overseas. There’s a good reason I keep my 2008 MacPro up and running, with 10.6.8 and FCS3 on it.
Some feature docs take many years to edit. And some get revived for a variety of reasons.

I don’t think expressing an opinion is what “spam” really means, but that’s not for me to say.
Look, that post was simply an expression of how I freaking FELT – yesterday. Which was appreciative and grateful. I’ve been editing to make my living in whole or in part for nearly 40 years now.
NOBODY complains when people on this board have a bad experience and come here and vent about how their experience made them feel, do they?
That’s what BUILT this place.
So excuse me if I think it’s incredibly disingenuous for you guys to get your pants in a scrunch simply because I had a nice morning and mentally linked that to a feeling of satisfaction because my recent work situation.
AGAIN – people come here and BITCH and it’s no problem.
So please tell me why the $&@“ coming in to say something nice about a successful work experience causes this much pushback?You people are just flat out WEIRD.
No wonder most of thetop FCP X users hang out elsewhere nowadays.
The pissyness factor here is seriously off the charts.

Well, I too am happy I don’t rely on Adobe products.

See, a nice positive reply. Was that so hard?

No. It was just that your post seemed so… How do I put this? Tough to put it politely. Cult-like. It wasn’t just “I’m so glad I use this, I only paid once and it’s paid for itself many times.” It was like, “THANK THE ALL KNOWING APPLE FOR BEING SO TOTALLY AND UTTERLY AMAZING! It really is the software provided by GOD!” You might not have meant it like that, but it sure came off that way.

I thought that the iMac and iMac Pro were both WELL SUITED for FCP-X…and that an eGPU would help with FCP-X users that want to finish in Resolve…so that’s all they really cared to do. WHO NEEDS this tower anyway…other than people wanting to use OTHER editing apps, and not FCP-X? And why would Apple care to cater to them at all, because all they really care about is FCP-X, and the current computers work GREAT for that?
While I do know that it’s coming, I’m very skeptical about what it will be….and who it will be made to serve.

The iMac and iMac Pro actually work well with Premiere, MC, and Resolve – not just FCPX. The eGPU doesn’t necessarily help much with a higher-powered machine, unless you have a lesser internal GPU than what’s in the eGPU.
That’s changed a bit since Mojave was introduced, because Apple straightened out how you tap into the eGPU at the OS level. That’s something Adobe has taken advantage of between the time the eGPU and the eGPU Pro were released. Premiere Pro works MUCH better with eGPUs now than when they were first introduced. Typically, though, it’s an either-or situation and not a combination of both GPUs. So what tends to happen when you pick eGPU as the preference, is it does the heavy lifting and the internal GPU loafs.
But remember, using an eGPU isn’t simply about performance. It also has to do with taking the load off of the internal GPU when you want to run a number of high-res displays or use stereo 3D devices. An eGPU is a great add-on if you work with a Mac mini or a 13″ MBP. It’s less of an advantage with full-loaded iMac or iMac Pro.

Michael Cioni defines Stockholm Syndrome as:
“A survival strategy that forms a bond during intimate time spent together.”
A more accurate definition is:
A survival strategy ( by prisoners of kidnapping) that forms a bond (between victim and captor) during intimate time spent together (in forced captivity).
Which leads me to a specific view of Cioni’s motivations (and they are all parenthetical.) If Cioni is content to argue that it’s OK to view Apple as a bunch of thieves and kidnappers, who am I to argue.

Well, I spent about 5 straight hours with Cioni at the LACPUG where he presented – and oddly, he’s still cutting on FCP X.
In fact his entire presentation was basically re-imagining the Voiceover tool as a simple multi-track recorder for music tracking and sweetening.
I’d link to it, but the last Past Meeting on the website is Nov, 3018 — and YouTube doesn’t appear to have it either.
