[Bill Davis] “Sorry my phrasing was unclear. Simon correctly interpreted my meaning. “
What’s confusing is your use of the term “tagging”. I presume you mean assigning a keyword for temporary sorting. Is that what you meant?

Wow, that’s all I can say!

[Simon Ubsdell] ” FCP X is dog slow when it comes to handling lots of material like this.”
In this case I had 200GB of mixed 1080p material, some of which was AVCHD. FCPX cannot import AVCHD with “leave files in place” so will copy those to the Library. OTOH I have imported about 130GB of H264 4k material from an AG-DVX200 and A7RII in about 1 second.
For some media types (e.g, GoPro, AVCHD and MP4 files from some camcorders) FCPX can go into a “Processing files for import” phase” but this is typically only a minute or so, even for lots of material. Likewise those codecs may produce a “generating audio waveforms” phase which takes a while, but is a background task that doesn’t prevent editing.
Except for these cases, FCPX seems to import extremely quickly. It generally doesn’t strike me as slow to import when using “leave files in place” on a locally-attached RAID array.
Premiere CC likewise does not instantly complete all import tasks for those media types — its “conforming” phase can take a little while. Very roughly I’d say it’s overall about equal to FCPX, although there is some variation from case to case.

[Simon Ubsdell] “Not really worth responding to this, Bill, sorry. Have a great weekend.”
Nicely done, bet you end up responding to it though 🙂

I find this as well, although importing 4K XAVC material into FCPX can be VERY slow. It’s worth it however as 4K XAVC in FCPX is much more responsive than in PPro

I tend to use the terms “keywording” and “tagging” interchangeably.
Basically, the presence of the later part of the portmanteau “wording” leads folks who are coming to X fresh to think mostly in terms of focusing on the use of mostly nouns as tags.
Using forms of the term Tags instead is a subtle reminder that you can tag ranges with anything that appears on a keyboard.
Maybe we’ll get Siri tags someday. And some wag will set things up so a sneeze during X editing will trigger a “possible delay ahead, I’m getting sick” email sent to the client?
; )

Hey Bill, did you know that the videos on your website don’t work with El Capitan? The latest version has removed the old Quicktime plugin.
Just in case you hadn’t spotted it already!

Thank you!
I had not checked. I’m late to my own ElCap update due to pending deliveries.
I’ll check it out.
Thanks.

[Bill Davis] “The ONLY distinction between a Menu Bar Tag (Favorite/Rejet/Unrate) and a user generated Custom tag is that there’s a simple filter stage built into the Menu Bar tags that lets the users filter the EVENT DISPLAY by that class of tags. You can Hide and Show Rejects and Favorites in the Event. Period. Other than that, they are JUST tags. They work the same as all other tags. “
I watched your MacBreak Episode, I think using JKL slows you down a little, I use the skimmer for range marking and I think it’s faster.

How is everyone importing?
Why not just drag and drop MXF files? I skip the import window as it rewraps.
