Thoughts on why FCP X is here to stay and the Mac Pro isn’t.

[TImothy Auld] “Will I ever trust them to continue the support of anything they sell whether or not developed in house. I don’t think so. But, like James Bond, I try never to say never.
“This is the crappy situation that I really didn’t want or need to be put in and I think it’s a malaise that Apple has induced within the international creative community.
Ironic huh?
Apple?I’m a big loyalty guy and a big communication guy.
I don’t think it’s asking too much of people I’ve spent hundreds of thousands of dollars with to communicate their loyalty to me.
You can’t tell me they’re not aware of the instability and concern they’ve spread for the last couple of years, with endless EOL’ing and not a single outreach to the community regarding our future together.
We have a very different view of responsibility, Apple and me, and I’m pretty sure my approach is better.

Jim, I think we started out on this forum at loggerheads (I’m sure at least partially because I am a stubborn SOB) but I agree with every word in your post. I really cannot imagine what they are thinking.

“I don’t recall that Timothy, you seem like a perfectly reasonable man to me. But if we did, then I’m sure it was mostly your fault.
See how responsible I am.

I am sure it was totally my fault and I beg your pardon. If only our friends in Cupertino would do the same for us.

[Walter Soyka] “If sound is available, you shouldn’t go back to the strobe, ever. “
Why not?
Remember we were shooting on cards so when you stop that makes another clip.
When they would do a take that would start a new clip. They wanted to sync all the clips not just the first ones.
[Walter Soyka] “PluralEyes”
If I have X why do I need PluraEyes. I thought X just copied what PluralEyes does.
-
[TImothy Auld] “But would that really work with X”
What would stop it from working?
when I first saw X one the features that drew me to it was that one.
I tried a test with some clips and it worked fine. I had no problem, and this was the first version.
[TImothy Auld] “Have you finished and delivered to broadcast specs a project of a complex nature and a length of 22 minutes or so with X?”
I’m working on a documentary right now and it’s going to be a lot longer than 22 minutes.
I have not had any problems so far doing anything I have wanted to do.I hear people taking about how buggy it is after the last update but mine still seems to be working the same.
I am still working on snow leopard because I don’t like those grey folders in Lion.I was just wondering if that had anything to do with it. I think most people have move to Lion.
What OS are you using?
One thing I don’t have is patients, if it starts acting up I will be ticked like others and maybe start to look around.
So far so good.

[tony west] “They wanted to sync all the clips not just the first ones.”
That’s ok. PluralEyes can deal with multiple clips.
The latest version even works with FCPX’s multicam.
[tony west] “If I have X why do I need PluraEyes. I thought X just copied what PluralEyes does.”
PluralEyes is both faster and more reliable [link].
Next time you have a suitable project, try the demo. I’d be curious to hear your opinion.

[Walter Soyka] “PluralEyes is both faster and more reliable [link].”
I don’t see how it can be faster. You have to go into a separate program vs just staying in X
That link seems to be gone.
It looks like they want 149.00 for PluralEyes
Don’t know if I want to spend that if X is working the way it is now for me.
I can see using this program with 7 but not with X
Even if you used it with 7 you would be using a 32 bit 7 vs a 64 X which is syncing it just fine for me.
Have you used it with X Walter?
