Wouldn’t it be cool? Proper editing on the go
Editing on the go, FCX on a pimped up iPad.
Sometimes, I’ll be outside and wished that I could finish up or start a simple edit. Maybe a base-cut/skeletal cut or a pitch video for a new show. Just for “simple” edits. Copy over Prores Proxy footages and edit it. (proxy to save space and act like an offline edit)
*simple meaning lay music, cuts, adjustable transitions, basic color correction, text/lower thirds and simple audio adjustments and cross fades.
And maybe after the simple edit, bring over to my mac, open up in final cut and finesse it. Or do more graphics and etc.
If only we had FCP7 on the iPad.

Yes sure you can have your toy – FCPx on any handheld device you wish, by God even on an iPod if you want. As long as the rest of us cab have a professional application back again.

An editing app is as pro as the ‘pro’ behind it.

Very very true.
Just imagine currently with FCx:
Audio clean up: Having to dupe projects to export individual audio “tracks” like one project for music and sound effects and one for VO and SOT.Color Grading: Going old school to export sequence as native raw file, i.e: ProRes. And then using another program to color grade it like how you would color grade from ingesting a Digibeta tape.
Sigh

Given what Apple has said publicly and in meetings, both those issues will be addressed. As to how well they are addressed we don’t know but it’s not like what you see in FCPX today is all there will be.

That sounds beautiful, but you haven’t been sitting in front of iMovie the last few years.
The fact that I’m a pro doesn’t makes of iMovie a pro application when i use it.
Crap is crap.
The fact that an application is able to put video and audio together doesn’t make of it “an editing application” (you can edit a full feature film with just QT Player Pro)The fact that we resource to cheap, non-pro solutions, it doesn’t make them ideal tools.
FCPX will be a Pro app when few hundred thousand of families will get theirs incomes thanks to FCPX.
As happens now with FCP. PP, AVID..

It may work but I suspect FCPX will take better advantage of things. Being able to work with AVCHD without having to convert to ProRes is one example. Of course maybe one won’t be able to much more than cuts only with AVCHD on an AIr but that’s still ahead of where you’d be with FCP7.

It’s interesting how much time they invest in doing that. Call it “venting” but there a point where it’s really destructive to public discourse.
I will not go on to Avid, Premiere, Windows forum and “war” with them. I hold no malice for the choice of tools people make.
There are a group of people who are “guided” by something other than being helpful except that maybe they find it “helpful” to discourage people.
FCPX has a lot in it that I’ve wished to see in NLEs since I started using Avid over 20 years ago. It’s missing a lot but being the only NLE to ever address what I’d like to see in design leads me to focus on that, while at the same time addressing the deficiencies.
If one can’t find a single useful thing about FCPX one seriously has to wonder why bother posting in a forum bearing that title. Each of those individuals will have to examine why they are doing what they are doing. It is not good if it results in people leaving the COW though.
