    [Steve Connor] “Yes, been editing on PPro today, look at this unusable mess “

    Don’t blame that mess on Premiere, you slovenly bastard. And tuck in your shirt. LOL

    I’m not sure exactly when “customizability” became such a dirty word. Maybe because Apple de-prioritized it, which by default made anyone who wanted to re-prioritize it somehow anti-Apple? Or somehow operating contrary to the spirit of FCPX, as if you can’t like X AND want at least FCP-level degrees of customizability?

    Just wondering aloud, not making any statements, but the idea of anybody saying, “No thanks, I have all the options I need” for almost ANYTHING is incomprehensible to me.

    But I’m a slob, no doubt about it. LOL

    [Oliver Peters] “In Premiere you can also hide unwanted clips and use the search field to reveal desired clips.”

    On a related note, Search Bins function much better in CC2015 than they did in their CC2014 debut.

    Since this thread has veered a bit into style, this Walter Murch clip seems appropriate:

    Nice video. It still doesn’t strike me as particularly faster than other NLE’s though. He obviously did a lot of work organising his favorites, notes etc that he’s not showing, but a lot of work has been done.

    I kinda liked how he stopped stacking video layers as he did in FCP7. Since, in AVID, people generally don’t stack a lot (is my experience).

    I’m still looking for the edge that makes FCPX so much more interesting that makes it compensate for its bugginess and workaroundiness…

    Well, you see Tim…

    [Tim Wilson] “Maybe because Apple de-prioritized it, which by default made anyone who wanted to re-prioritize it somehow anti-Apple?”

    Oh, never mind. You answered your own question.

    In the immortal words of Henry Ford, “”Any customer can have the UI configured anyway they want so long as it is the factory default configuration.” 😉

    [Bill Davis] “At this point, we’re going to hit a communications wall.
    You keep trying to “discuss” X – while trying far too hard, IMO – to avoid actually gaining the practical experience to have a viable frame of reference.
    Maybe it’s a little bit like sex. Some things just can’t be adequately understood if all you do is talk about them?

    It’s helpful if you quote the poster you’re trying to “burn”

    Wasn’t trying to burn anyone. Just make an honest point. That being that the biggest questioners of X (with notable and valued exceptions) are typically those who know it least.
    But now that you point out it can be read that way, I’ll decline to note who I was thinking about. It was actually somebody I like.

    If it’s me you’re referring to… I cut on FCPX three to four days a week. An have been for well over a year, since one of my clients only uses FCPX. I am gaining experience, exchange experiences with a lot of editors, but for some reason I fail to see the greatness of FCPX.

    Same with this video… it’s a great way to organise stuff, and I use it extensively. But… to me it’s only ‘different’ from organisational methods in other NLE’s. Not necessarily faster.
