Who’s opinion matters to you?

When Walter Biscardi, Shane Ross, and David Roth Weiss have something to say about FCP X (or anything else, for that matter), I listen. I wish I knew as much about video editing as any of them may have forgotten, and I trust that what they have to say is accurate and sincere.

You’re more than welcome David.
I know I don’t post here much but I am an avid (no pun intended) reader of all these forums.
I have been grazing here for a decade now and your wisdom has set me straight many a time right from the early discreet edit days. . .
. . .er, so Thanks.

[Matt Callac] “Ouch. Scott,

When I was 14, we were all lucky if we could go four feet on a skateboard before we ended up going ass-over-teakettles!Since so many of the ‘young bucks’ that are hot to trot over X have made it pretty clear that they think the opinion of anyone over 25 is worthless, I thought it might be good to get some perspective. By the time the 14 year old is 25, the 25yo will be in his mid-thirties, and pretty much ready to be put out to pasture by his own standards.

Wow!!!
That’s good to hear in these tough times.

I’m listening to the pros AND cons.
David has good points. So does Chris Kenny, although I have more reservations about Apple itself than does Chris. I’m in a “waiting to see where the chips fall” stage at the moment.
I like the magnetic timeline, with caveats, but on other issues I need to be convinced.
Meanwhile, I’m editing a project on Premiere.

Bill –
Most of the editors talking up PP are long time FCP contributors like Walter Biscardi. They are not shills.
Since Apple has officially s**tcanned FCP7 we are all faced with the dilemma of migrating in the near future. And as the Apple apologists have continuously pointed out, FCPX is a totally new system and therefore has no greater hold on anyone here then any other system.
It is only natural that PP gets discussed, along with Avid or Sony Vegas for that matter. PP probably gets mentioned more often because many editors already own the Adobe Creative Suite, it has a similar interface and it can read legacy FCP projects. In fact it is FCPX that is probably the LEAST compatible NLE in existence for a FCP7 user.

All very good points Herb, especially this last part.
Meanwhile @ Bill: Heck, we know for a fact that the people at AVID bought Walter breakfast, cuz he told us all about his breakfast in excruciating detail. It wasn’t Adobe that paid for his damn waffle, so jeeze, how the heck can you say he’s shilling for Premiere?

I was reading the Avid forum last night and the AJA adds kept coming up. Coincidence?

The only opinion that matters to me is my own. More people should make their own mind up about FCPX rather than forming an opinion based on the musings of others…
