Wouldn’t it be cool? Proper editing on the go
-
Haters make some interesting reads.
I’m just waiting for the “we can’t use it” to get old.
We know we can’t use it and why we can’t use it. Why can’t we move onto how we can use it for now.
Obviously we can’t use it for broadcast but for now, we can use it for other things. Family videos not included.
Find work arounds or smth. I don’t like complaining without finding or offering a solution.
How could we use FCx right now? To its best of its capabilities till it becomes fit for broadcast and other type of edits and outputs.
Web Videos. Corporate videos. Virals?
I still wish I could do base edits on the go.

But you can: it’s called a laptop and whatever NLE you wish. Unless you are specifically talking about editing on your phone/tablet, to which I would say you’d do it for the “neat” factor a handful of times and then never touch it again.
It’s not conducive to even that kind of work.

I can see some value to this. Imagine a location scout shooting some clips with their tablet/smartphone and doing a rough cuts only piece. Now as to the value of importing that in to a better equipped “workstation base” NLE . . . it depends. But there certainly is value to a low powered NLE beyond “home movies.”
BTW I personally think when Ubillos was thinking of “First Cut” (now known as iMovie) he may well have been thinking that it would be a rough cut/client selects system that could be imported into a finishing NLE for the “Final Cut.”

It sounds good in theory, but I’d be willing to bet that it would get old really quick.

Call me a hater but I am done with depending on Apple applications for my livelihood. Apple Inc. just punched most editors in the world in the gut. OK I will punch back. I am done with the Cupertino kids except for maybe another platform. They can forget selling me any more software.
The great things about FCPX, and there some really great things, are far outweighed by the missing professional tools. Of course the future is file based, but you can’t operate in the pro world strictly on that basis yet. And the audio, sheesh! I don’t care what’s “coming.” It’s vaporware until it’s there.
Maybe the next couple of updates will make a schmuck out of me and I’ll do a 180. But I doubt it. Ten or fifteen years ago I was fond of saying “Avid is the way God intended us to edit.” I guess I will find religion again.

Good for those who want to use it. Not “old” for them.

It won’t get old for people like me where even a laptop can be a bulky thing.
When I mention edit on the go… I do mean edit on the go such as on the bus, train, plane or taxi. I would love to pop out my macbook pro but honestly, it does feel bulky from time to time.
Why can’t I transfer some low res files to a tablet, do a rough cut on the go, come back to a proper NLE system, transfer my project file to it, relink to my higher resolution footages and start finishing it up?
It does help if you are in news or in a fast pace heavy workflow environment.
The “Why are there no editing suites for me to use? 🙁 i just want to do a rough cut” scenario would be gone.
Or the editor who does edits everywhere might begin.Editing on a tablet. When your laptop is too bulky and all you want to do is to put crap together and not to layer a bajillion effects on each other.

Never gonna get old. They quit making Yugos twenty years ago, and you can still generate some LULZ with a Yugo reference.
Just like bashing imovie, express and Win movie maker. That never gets old either.Scott Sheriff

Yeah, I doubt it too.
Judging by the amount of apathy that has settled into this forum in the last few weeks, I would say by the time they roll out enough significant updates to X, the number of people still using it will be about the same as the MII users group membership.Scott Sheriff

It’s funny. As I was doing Avid tutorials today, I was thinking how cool it would be to have some form of Media Composer lite on a tablet for a quick rough cut. It would be very easy to interface with the existing icons. I think I’d quite like it.
