[David Lawrence] “WE GOT THAT B-ROLL!!!”

Casual? Upscale casual? Business?

Haven’t seen that one in a while. Thank you.

Jaime,

You’ve clearly at ease with the idea of the “traditional” timeline where if something isn’t on the timeline, that is a single state representation of nothingness.
Cuz, in Legacy a blank spot on the timeline is precisely that. Nothing. And you can’t do a damn thing about it.

In X, it’s something. (A gap clip, to be precise) As something it can take on attributes.It can be tracked, it can be accounted for. It can connect to stuff. When it’s nothing – nothing is possible except that it sits there.

That this doesn’t “work” for you is no indication that it doesn’t work for some of us.

Simple as that.

Another way to look at it is if it’s nothing, I don’t have to think about it. One less thing to deal with.

Not quite true. It’s Black. And, frankly, the fact that I didn’t have to generate slug every time I wanted black was a godsend. It was always fun to watch someone coming from MC to FCP as they were just starting out, generating slug after slug to be used for black. I, personally, was thrilled to have a timeline smart enough to hold your place in time and auto-generate black.

That’s what slug is for.

You made me laugh, David! Thanks.

There was a “locate slugs and output their aggregate time” in Legacy?

I never found THAT. Man that would have been useful.

Bill, I’m sorry. I haven’t a clue what you are talking about. A beat ago you were simply talking about assigning attributes. Where did “locate slugs and output their aggregate time” come from? Is that just out of the blue? Or did I miss a post? And why on earth would any one want to do that as some sort of automated routine?

[tony west] “Somebody decided that the timeline could be consolidated by combining video and audio as one track. A bold move.”

FWIW – Apple is hardly the first to do this. It was done by other NLE vendors years ago and discarded.
