Trying new stuff

[Lance Bachelder] “There isn’t a single thing, not one. that Premiere does as well or better than FCPX 10.07”
Although it isn’t elegant it captures from a nine pin tape deck via SDI and also plays a sequence out to one.
Another is that it can open a FCP7 project via XML and FCPX XML and an AVID AAF all without third party software. So that’s two obvious advantages to someone like me that does broadcast finishing from other editors. AE round tripping has already been mentioned and +1 for warp stabilizer.
For those reason plus many more I have moved to Pr as a finishing tool. I don’t mind opinionated rants, but for someone of your experience Lance I think this is childish dummy spit.

I guess that to much merlot affects people in different ways.

I didn’t even bring up the sync thing – someone else did. Premiere blows chucks – always has, whether it always will doesn’t matter to me – I’ll never know.
How you guys can deduce that I think FCPX is perfect and has all the answers is just insane – apparently there’s a lot stronger stuff than good ‘ole Merlot going ’round.

Hahaha! Great points. I didn’t get to read all of them so forgive me if I repeat something already stated. I love FCPX, teach Premiere CS5.5, and not 6, worked on Avid Media Composer, Newscutter, Lightworks, Vegas, FCP7…all are just tools. I don’t, “hate,” on NLE software because it is all about the user. I remember selling tv shows at NATPE in 2008 and a young lawyer with no TV or film experience shows up with a 3 minute sizzle reel edited on iMovie and gets a nice $35,000.00 deal after the first day of the convention. The posts on Creative Cow are excellent because so many people can provide help and tips to many of us who may get lost or frustrated with a particular application. However, a good spirited debate is ok as long as, in my opinion, we remember that these are just tools and it is about the persons skill set and not the software. I love FCPX for my ENG and sports work and love Avid for long form documentary work. I like teaching Premiere and see the good in it. And I love Photoshop. Must have. After Effects not so much, but Motion, Yes! Man just have fun!!
