The Magnetic Timeline – What’s The Paradigm?

[David Lawrence]

[Franz Bieberkopf] “I thought I might suggest that you post a kind of summary of the discussion from your perspective (in terms of your original intentions) before venturing to post the next topic.”

Will do, thanks Franz for suggesting.

Everyone — fantastic discussion above. You’re definitely getting into the deeper issues that I think we need to understand in order to evaluate what this tool is good for now, and what it might (or might not) be in the future.

Here are the big themes and questions that stood out to me:

1) What is the data model for FCPX?
     a) To what extent does the data model determine the FCPX UI?

2) Tracks vs. trackless interface —
     a) Spatial organization vs. metadata
     b) Benefits and drawbacks?

3) How does the FCPX UI affect how we work?
     a) Is the FCPX UI a design requirement or a design choice?
     b) Is the new UI better?
     c) What other UI models can we draw ideas from (DAWs)?
     d) How could the new UI paradigm mix with the old?

My next post will touch on many of these issues and more. Stay tuned…
