whatever happened to baby jane – and that hundred million dollar FCPX film?
-
[Aindreas Gallagher] “broadly so then: do you believe FCPX, at around version 10.0.8 (?), with the event project architecture, is currently editing a hundred million dollar, major studio feature as described by mestman and jordan?”
No. I highly doubt the studio would allow that. They would only go with proven workflows. New editing apps start on smaller budget films….at least out here.

[Shane Ross] “No. I highly doubt the studio would allow that. “
While that may be true, think back to the press when Fincher was originally doing “Zodiac”. This was a custom-developed, file-based workflow using GV Viper cameras. Rock Paper Scissors and Fincher’s in-house post operation handled the post at a point where it would be normal for only a proven lab to provide those services. It was only because Fincher personally went to bat to stand behind this decision that it happened. But, it was allowed.

[TImothy Auld] “it just does not seem stable enough to me for use as the primary NLE on any long form project. Yet.”
also -hey – you might like to perform certain reliable editing actions to trigger, say, that tube purchase, if FCPX is to be the blade for three thousand dollar razors.
if fcpx is to be a come hither for a deadly serious 4K hardware purchase, shouldn’t they raise their non-consumer skirts a bit more? tearable Tabs?
timeline demagnetising for the ingrates? as in the ability to lock elements to time? the ability to invoke david lawrence style universal time as discussed at fcpx grill? any functional keyboard editing outside the primary?the inspector focus switch live dot feels like apple trying to avoid the reality of the primary timeline problem. if they were to allow keyboard editing command focus to become slave to the dot it would get worse. but they still have to allow keyboard driven editing out of the primary regardless at some point. that dot is a massive version of them not accepting that reality.
also Ganging? how would that work? real match frame? a scrubbable viewer? it really doesn’t half feel like its piling up at their doorstep.
If those questions could be happily ignored then fine – their intellectual schema worked.you might think it hasn’t and the entire software project is fundamentally amidships.
they are pitching their most surreal hardware with FCPX – 38 4K screens etc – they maybe need to decide fairly soon what that software is actually for.
determining that it is somehow all things to all people is, in a way, a pretty crappy intellectual conclusion.

[Shane Ross] “When Murch cut COLD MOUNTAIN with FCP 3, Apple advised him NOT TO attempt it. And it was fraught with issues, but it was done.”
Actually, if it wasn’t for a studio totally putting their NDA at risk with Apple, Murch would have been screwed. He made it by the seat of his pants, with some help from people willing to break the rules.

I cut a micro budgeted 3000 dollar feature film in FCPX, all SFX was done inside FCPX. From personal experience. With the right setup, you can have zero problems cutting a feature film worth many times more than my tiny feature.
For those interested we released it online for free, cause that’s how we roll.

I also cut (and re-cut!) a feature on FCPX, interchange with sound post and grading was no problem and FCPX was as stable as any other NLE I have ever used.

“I’ve read that a few people have had stability issues, but for most people including me, the later versions of FCPX have been as stable as any other NLE.
