[Erik Lindahl]

I think a lot of us are waiting of some soild info on FCPX’s i/o support (XML / EDL / OMF / AAF and videocards).

I would be surprised if they remove XML/EDL import/export. If they don’t have that.. Heck, I’m gonna get it anyway but it will be quite a disappointment.

I have no time to rebuild complex edit timeline,, nor have my clients the financial resources or intentions to pay for that.
The grading system that reads Avid or FCP projects as native as possible will be the one used in the future…

Like the new Baselight for Final Cut?

[Luke Maslen]

Hi Margus,

I believe the only public information about Final Cut Pro X is what was announced and demonstrated at the SuperMeet. Any other details are still under NDA so we can’t reveal any details of how Final Cut Pro X will be supported in Resolve. However you can take support as a given as Apple provides pre-release versions of Final Cut Pro to Blackmagic Design.

Hi Luke.

That gives me the perspective.

Thanks.

I’m really curious how this whole notion of a trackless collapsible nested timeline is going to work with roundtripping to color, fx, and sound design software.

I don’t want to have to think that it’s going to be our job to undo the new mess editors will unleash!

[Margus Voll]

I think it will depend how fcpx will make lets say xml or omf.

I bet they do not want to make fcp closed system.

My guess is that the only difference between the existing FCP 7 and FCP X will be the GUI. I’m sure that the back end structure / XML’s / EDL’s will all be generated the same way.

I’d be dumbfounded if FCPX didn’t have XML out. There’s too many 3rd party solutions that require that.

I find it weird that Randy Ubillios, the man who INVENTED Premiere and FCP, who has probably done nothing but eat, drink, and sleep NLE technicalities for TWENTY years sat on stage to show everybody his new baby, and everybody assumes he forgot the simplest stuff just because it was left out of the presentation. I like everybody else have more questions than answers after what I saw, but like my clients assume I can get my job done right because of my track record, I’ll give Randy Ubillios and the rest of the FCP team the benefit of the doubt.

If the application is building timelines “trackless” internally, then I would expect that any XML output would be one “track” only. That’s not the end of the world at all, in my book. It keeps the organizational concept of multiple tracks (usually very messy) on the editors plate only, and gives the rest of us a nice, easy to digest timeline.

This comment is not directed at any of the above posters, it’s just more of a general comment after reading a lot of different blogs and such after the presentation.
