Praise from the prophet. On the other hand, the year has just begun.

1. This is the most interesting forum on the Cow
2. Great industry insight, discussion, information and knowledge all laced with wit, vim and vigour.
Simple.

I’m here to decide which NLE other than FCPX I will be using and for that there’s no better form than this one. Also, this is just a great place to discuss any industry news from rumors about new MacPro’s to how people plan on using Thunderbolt drives.
Also, I agree the name of the form should change – it’s not just about FCPX anymore.

After answering the millionth post about sync in FCP7 Forum to people who pop in for free advice instead of reading a manual or even searching, I like to drop into this forum to learn from those who have put themselves at the bleeding edge of FCPX. I can’t afford to not know yet I can’t waste time and money testing software for which there is no demand for me (yet).
In the end I need to know which way the wind is blowing and also to avoid the costly choice of buying the wrong hardware. Software is like the hanky I blow my nose with. Don’t have too much invested in the cloth but the cupboards are expensive.
…..oh and for the laughs.

I’m here for conversation, debate and learning with the smart ones, lol’s watching the crazy ones, and of course, Mr. Gallagher’s epic prose.
And please *don’t* change the name! Not yet, too early. FCPX still drives many of the best discussions here.

I don’t spend much time on forums, certainly the COW is the only one I frequent.
If this does evolve from a FCPX debate it should perpetuate as an ongoing discussion of all of the evolution and change we’re experiencing and will be for a long time to come.
I have to say, the level of discourse and insight is the best I’ve experienced on the interwebs.

[Shane Ross] “Because FCX cannot be ignored. The first FCP took the world by storm, and by version 3 was the most popular NLE in the world. It eventually made it’s way into most areas of production…over the skepticism of many many people. Now I am one of those skeptics when it comes to FCX being able to do the same thing. But I will not ignore it…that’s dangerous!
The features are there for many things, not for others, but might be included at later dates. My biggest issue with FCX is the editing methodology it employs. It makes no sense to me. The first versions of FCP used editing terms and workflows that we were all familiar with, only it did things others could not (Avid could not capture via firewire, for example).
FCX isn’t going away. So I’m keeping my eye on it. I’m not stupid.”
Absolutely spot-on.

[Steve Connor] “The car crash that was the FCPX launch happened 9 months ago, why are you still spending your valuable time here and what are you getting from it?”
This board is the window on the Post world for me. Since the death of Final Cut Server (my bread and butter till 6/21), I’ve drifted away from Post in my work (shared storage) because without FCP legacy, shared storage for post is a very different beast. I’m still very interested in where this is all going, and I’ve still got a glimmer of hope that there is a shared/server capability waiting in the wings for FCPX. Though I’m skeptical that the large facility market will ever embrace it enough to make it viable to be in the FCPX SAN business the way it certainly was with legacy FCP.
Nine months ago I didn’t want to snap to judgement that Apple was bailing on broadcast, and I still think that from a technical perspective FCPX is today only one or two minor updates away from viability in that space (depending on the nature of the work and its flow, of course). But what is clear to me now is that the way FCPX works simply kills it for a huge swath of the folks I used to mingle with in my former niche. I’m sad that at this time last year we had an industry coalescing around a common NLE and now that same space is more balkanized than ever.
Best,
Andy
