[Scott Sheriff] ” you ask me, auto color correction on ingest is an example of an X ‘dumb-down’ feature. Don’t most normal people wait until the picture is locked to do the grade?”
Both/And Not Either/or
auto color correct can come in handy. In FCP 7 they have an auto color correct feature. Not being able to use Color anymore is the problem. If you could not turn off auto mode it would be a problem.

[David Roth Weiss] “don’t expect you’ll convert others of little faith anytime soon by battering or badgering them with the message.”
The positives of Final Cut Pro X are NOT the message being battered and badgered here. I know you would like to be the the “We hate FCP X” forum. It is not.

This is both. And the real long term drivers see that.

I’m still using 2004 version. Have no need AFAIK for ribbons and a 1001 icons.
But MS did screw end users a couple of years back. “Pro” users. They got rid of the macros that had been built in to all previous versions. So goodbye all that formatting.
For spec scripts, I preferred WORD with a template and macros to Final Draft. No longer.

A typical response from you. Spin the message around, badger and batter the messenger, and then suggest you have the moral high ground.
Sorry to inform you Gary, but dissenting messages that are different from your own are not invalid simply because you wish it to be so, or because you batter the messenger.

You’re not “dissenting” when you are in the self-styled majority, and wish this forum to contain NO comments on the positives of FCP X.

Of course that’s nonsense. Let’s face it, you haven’t been around the Creative Cow long enough to have a clue what you talking about where it concerns me. And, as far as I can see, you’ve never helped a soul here, ever, and probably never will.
As a forum leader on the Creative Cow. I gladly stand up to both strong winds and to blow hards like you. So, you can continue trying to bash me all you want if that’s what makes you happy. However, if you don’t cool your bashing and battering of other’s here on the Cow, I will bring you to the principal’s office.

Come on David, surely you can see that this has become perhaps the least constructive forum on Creative Cow by now, so much so that it’s been necessary to create another one for users to get constructive sharing.
As for the question of helping others, I freely admit a lot of people here know a lot more than me about editing on FCP and many other software packages. That’s why I’m here. I will help where I can. I have been a long time reader of these forums, which are pretty much the best on the net, in general. I thought it would be nice to be a bit more involved because I am interested in the new software.
But is the recent tenor of repetitive and negative posts, and shouting down the positives, here really “helping” anyone?

[Gary Pollard] “Come on David, surely you can see that this has become perhaps the least constructive forum on Creative Cow by now”
Stop with the pejoratives Gary, it’s stuff exactly like that which does make some think this is “the least constructive forum.”
People here disagree. Hashing out disagreements here is not what makes this forum less constructive, what does that is putting people down, bashing them with a pejorative term when they disagree with your point of view, and thus noising-up the signal of some of the most intelligent and thoughtful members of the community.
What you’re missing is that the bashing of FCP X may at least have a chance of making it a better product in the end. But, bashing those who bash the application, simply because you disagree with their point of view, will have no impact on the software, and has absolutely no positive or constructive value.
The way to make this discussion constructive is to simply try to tolerate what the others think. Tell them you don’t agree, just don’t judge them or label them so that you can feel better or feel you’ve won something. That’s destructive.
Trust me, no one here wants FCP to get worse. Everyone wants it better, even the people who hate FCP X now.
