Todays FCP X announcement
In addition to MultiCam editing the bigger news for our shop is that it seems we may soon see drivers for broadcast monitoring via 3rd party products, i.e.; AJA, BMD, Matrox, etc. Anyone have more information?

AJA already has drivers up for their Kona products. I don’t know about BM because I don’t own a BM card, but heard they were going to be up later today.
Broadcast monitoring requires Lion, that much seems clear though. As soon as I update my Kona machine to Lion, I’ll know more.

No drivers for the AJA ioHD. Bummer

Adcock’s article in macworld offers a lot of hope, and it makes me feel better bout deciding to try x at home. At the risk of breaking an unknown rule of posting:

It’s small, but I like the fact you can match frame back to the ‘bin’ or whatever they call it now and your original clip has the in and out points from your edit. I still don’t like the fact that there’s not a ‘Source’ Monitor. Maybe they’ll listen and put that back in too.

still cant see how it fits into a collaborative workflow; editors and fx artists need to share media.

Yeah. I agree. I think it would be great for down and dirty single edits, but as far as television shows or even feature film work, it’s not there. I think Avid is going to take back over the collaborative environment.

[mark cookman] “still cant see how it fits into a collaborative workflow; editors and fx artists need to share media.”
Not sure I understand. FCPX shares nearly as well as FCP 7 does.
You can already share media in FCPX for multiple editors.
FX artists work in a variety of tools and you send media to them like you do with FCP7. You create selects and export video for them. Some graphics can now be built as effects, titles and transitions directly in Motion and then applied as needed in FCPX.
Automatic Duck’s Pro Export plug-in allows for OMF/AAF export for pro tools, or you can send stems directly from FCPX.
What are you having trouble seeing?

And you go to Davinci and back FCPX correct? I don’t understand ether about this can’t share or send clips to other Apps.
I see it everyday FCPX users sending ProRes 4444 files to After Effects and Co.

The problem is, unless you login to a SAN volume, you cannot share your projects, proxies, optimized media on a network drive, to allow other seats to access it in a simple way. There are some of us who don’t do everything on a Macbookpro…

2 x Finalcut Studio3, 2 x Prod. bundle CS5.5, 2 x MacPro, 2 x ioHD, Ethernet File Server w. X-Raid…. and FCPX on trial

We don’t ether all MacPros here and all Projects no matter FCPX or Premiere projects are shared over FireWire drives and RAIDS over fiber.
