James – it’s quite obviously a lightworks controller. The discussion is at an end.

ok. So I looked up the fremont troll.
That thing looks **ahhmazing**
Also he is clearly holding a lightworks controller there.

[James Culbertson] “Are you normally this way on this list?”

[James Culbertson] “editors will need to know FCP legacy, FCPX, Premiere, and possibly AVID MC for the foreseeable future.”
Absolutely correct except for the second list item that I have underlined above.
It really, really makes absolutely no sense to put the time in with that one. It’s a radically different and time consuming methodology to learn, and you can’t get a job with it. It’s effectively dead man walking software.Best we all ignore it and let it quietly and quickly die.
Or strangle it if that doesn’t work.
Or throw it off a bridge in a weighted bag. Whatever seems best.https://vimeo.com/user1590967/videos http://www.ogallchoir.net promo producer/editor.grading/motion graphics

I take that reply as someone with their fingers in their ears going “LaLaLa can’t hear you”.

that matte looks pretty respectable. and its a non uniform background off hand held too. I’d say it needs not to have any crossing objects in the BG tho.
What’d be kind of interesting is whether it’s good enough that you could get a working key without actually having to put someone in a greenscreen lit environment. If you could get a greenscreen level key while having the luxury of putting the body in the exterior lighting conditions you want to match them to in the composite – that’d be nice.
Also I’d wonder if it requires full body motion at least some of the time to define the matte. That kid is pretty constantly jiggling.
reckon there’s maybe some kind of difference matting going on to help define the edge?https://vimeo.com/user1590967/videos http://www.ogallchoir.net promo producer/editor.grading/motion graphics

lets try a little test:
Go to Mandy.com – they list hundreds of edit jobs per month across the US, UK, worldwide, every single month – put in a search for Premiere – I get the weekly job listing digest so its really easy for me to do as a Gmail search, which I have just done.
Every week now for months and months Premiere Pro has been featuring as a main title rider on multiple job Applications along FCP7 and media Composer.
like this:Premiere Pro/FCP Editor – HuttonMiller, LLC – Boca Raton
FCP/Premiere editors wanted – Elysium Productions – You can work from anywhere
Premiere Editor & Shooters – Allegory Productions – NYC
Freelance FCP7/Premiere Editor – Confidential – Orlando
FREELANCE EDITOR – Confidential, Toronto.
looking for a skilled Freelance Final Cut Pro 7 Editor who has recently made the move to Premiere Pro 6 (or is keen to do so).
FCP/Premiere Editor – Durango Effect – Los Angeles
Final Cut/Premiere Pro Editor (Italian) – The Putty Division – Brooklyn
Adobe Premiere Pro Editor – Confidential – Manhattanthats all from the last four months or so.
Now, what I want you to do next is put in FCPX:
it currently lists one return on the whole of mandy worldwide:Editor with LP Productions
(Los Angeles area – USA California – South), As Soon As Possible for Until project is completed.. I am a Producer/ Director and I’m looking for a FCP EDITOR (not FCPX) to cut our 19 page pilot “Shadows” and 2 trailers for our pitch.Hilarious isn’t it? i mean its almost too perfect.
So look now – seriously – you guys can try all this “I don’t hear about premiere” “no one is talking about premiere” “it’ll break for FCPX any day now” -but the thing to remember is no one believes a word you are saying because your statements are not based in reality.
The industry is shifting to Premiere – its been noticably accelerating for the last six months.
No one is using FCPX, no one is posting jobs for FCPX or ever has – outside of the desperately grinning guys on macbreak weekly and ripple training and… about twenty guys on this forum, FCPX is as dead as a very, very dead doornail.
I just like to occasionally come on and remind you all of that fact.
Dead. As. A. Dodo.

they just aren’t craig. I mean – I get the point, but it’s simply not happening.
Apple do not have a viable proposition. In the end, they didn’t have one the minute they stuffed all the facilities with the announcement.
There is no road back Craig, even if the software wasn’t barmy, which it half is in the timeline, there’s just no road available to them at this point.London is already shaking out to Avid and PPro. X does not exist. It largely never could have existed because Apple went off the deep end in their notion of the moves they thought they could make.
They killed the entire FCP studio across London and turned up with a pretty loony one off editing system.
Apple is largely done professionally in editing. It almost doesn’t matter what they do.X is literally just funny, interesting software. with great multicam.
No one cares Craig.
No one is ever going to house or employ it. Not after the Year Zero FCP Studio bomb site left in London.
Apple are, directly by their actions, effectively dead with respect to editing.there really is no overstating this point.

no, I just mean X has been dead for a pretty long time now. no jobs, no postings, no announcements of use really. either end of the pond.
Someone is going to call it. It’s kind of not a bad idea. it would clarify things. The software is going nowhere. macbreak weekly and ripple training and a bunch of guys on here are giving it CPR volts every day of the week but its dead as a doornail really.No one in LA or NY is using it, no one in London is using it, no one around Oliver Peters say, as he has pointed out, is using it, literally it doesn’t exist if you want a gig.
no one has posted a job for it in near two years. Seriously: How long does this charade go on?It’s basically dead, if interesting, software walking. It would genuinely be better dead at this point for industry clarity.

Rather. There is absolutely no way in hell I am going to Creative cloud for instance. I love adobe, CS6 is a mountain of goodness, but I will take the upgrade price penalty over perpetual rental – up to the point where Shantanu Narayen appears as GIF on the upgrade screen going:
“three thousand dollars to upgrade!! Why not try Creative Cloud??”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78yigV0GYGQ
Quotes (fictitious) from the video:
A:“So I feel the answer is Creative Cloud”
Q: Are you going to hike the price once everyone is on the hook?
A: “You need to look at creative cloud.”Q: What is creative Cloud going to cost in three years once we’re locked in?
A:“creative Cloud, a cloud that is creative, made mostly from creative – but it is a cloud”
Q: What is it going to cost?
A: “It’s a particulate cloud, made from creative essences, that we want you all to pay a monthly fee for”Q: No seriously – once you have everyone on the hook, and the promotional pricing ends, can we trust you not to gouge us?
A: “It’s a very beautiful cloud, It feels like a rainbow on your coronas, Adobe has no history of jacking up the prices for anyone”Q: I’m begging you – how bad is it going to be in four years? Are we talking olive oil salesmen once we’re all on board?
A: Hey – come on – Creative Cloud, Creative Cloud, Creative Cloud. Do I sound insincere?Q: How bad is it going to get?
(here, suddenly, Shantanu Narayen is stricken by cosmic truth rays)
A: What?
Q: Hi, just to ask again – what is the monthly call in three years once I’m locked in?
A: Well we’re not totally sure, we’re working it out, we figure after a few years we can bleed you for about 75 dollars a month once we have you by the short and curlies.
Q: do we own any software?
A: You’re funny – so that’s about a grand a year please. On perpetual hire purchase where you always have to pay.
Don’t miss a payment for any reason or we shut the software off. Also we are going to make outright purchase and upgrade increasingly difficult.In closing my name is Shantanu Narayen, I am not insincere, and Creative Cloud, Creative CloudCreative CloudCreative Cloud Etc.
