The exponential greatness of multicam in FCPX

[Andrew Kimery] “”Reply with quote” would automatically quote the entire post and put it in the reply text box (for lack of a better term). Right now it’s:
1. Hit “reply”.
2. Highlight text in post you are replying to.
3. Hit Q or “quote” button.A “reply with quote” button would merge these steps into a single button press.
“That would be useful as I can’t make the quote feature work on my iPad!

[Steve Connor] “A “reply with quote” button would merge these steps into a single button press.”
Bret’s system of selecting text and hitting q seems to work. Saves one step.

[James Ewart] “My impression of PP is that it is such a complicated looking interface – not quite as muddled as MC and probably a bit more cluttered than FCP7. “
What you have to remember is that PProCC’s interface (and MC) is highly customizable, which FCP X isn’t. Smoke, too, is cluttered, but with less user customization. You don’t have to have all of the panes open in PProCC if you don’t want and you can save various workspace layouts. It’s great with dual screens, because you can do things like have the timeline window completely take up one screen, if you like.
In addition, Adobe enabled developers to create plug-ins that have custom panels that can plug right into the interface. Some things in standard operation benefit additional panels. For example, in audio you can apply effects and levels on both a clip and track level. There are a lot of right-click contextual function, too, like Replace and Audio Channel re-assignments.
Since panes are dockable in various ways, you can have two sequences as tabs or as separate timeline windows. The latter condition allows you to drag clips from one window to the other, while seeing both. So, the bottom line is that yes, it looks more confusing than X, but this in many ways empowers functions that benefit the user in ways that FCP X’s interface can’t.

[Bret Williams] “And fwiw, the Q is fairly useless if you’re not viewing in a computer. There’s no way to just press q on an iPhone.”
Hit reply.
Select text.
Press and hold “Quote” and click “open” from the pop up.
This should work on any iOS device.

Aha! Looks like it’s easier than that. Just hightlight text and press quote. No need to press reply or hold down the quote button and choose open. Apparently the quote button ( which I’d never really noticed, like the reply button) replaces the Q.
People do realize that the reply field is at the bottom of the thread?

Nice!!!! Thanks for that

Actually, you’re right. This must have been fixed recently as before hitting quote didn’t work, you had to hold it.

No where is the quote button?

In between the checkmark/lightbulb and the reply button.

Not always. It depends on how you are reading the thread. If you click on a specific post to read it then the reply field is at the bottom of the page. If you hit the “read entire thread” button then all of the posts become visible in their entirety and there is no reply field at the bottom of the page. The reply field only appears after you’ve selected a specific post.
