The Next FCPX Update

[Walter Soyka] “Trimmed consolidation would be cool to have, but unless trimmed media is a strict workflow requirement for you, this is a tempest in a teapot. FCPX is not that “far behind;” Pr just got this a couple months ago!”

I feel like most of what we talk about are tempests in teapots. If someone waved a magic wand and 2 of the 3 Big A’s disappeared from the face of the Earth we could still all make do. If only Avid survived I’m sure Bill would figure how to make Avid work for his needs and if only X survived I’m sure I would figure out how make X work for my needs.

We debate about the quote unquote little things because as this stage in the game its the little things that matter. It’s kinda like a pro swimming event where the difference between 1st place and 8th place is bout half a second. All the competitors are great swimmers no doubt, but the little things make a difference and a swimmer thats good at event X might not be very good at event Y.

For me, top of the list for an update is avid-like script integration (even without automatic speech-to-script sync)

for fiction work with a lot of takes with different tones and such, I just can’t do without – too much time searching for one line in all takes to compare and choose the best one.

it’s basically forcing me to use avid…
