Man, I tell you – that cat is doing great. eating like a hound, purring like a foghorn.

I”LL CHIME IN LOUDLY TOO.

TAGS ARE DIFFERENT TO BUCKETS.

BINS ARE CONTAINERS, TAGS ARE METADATA

koff koff – wait why am I shouting?

seriously tho – the keywords cannot be made to function like bins – you cant open and arrange multiple keywords on the second monitor so you can casually visually scan the contents of the various keywords. those would be bins. Instead you get to click on a tiny little keyword squashed up in the corner under all those dated events, then all the files associated with that keyword are populated to the right of it in the one virtual folder that exposes all the keyword collection – the event browser – but in this case its kind of the keyword browser? of course the items it exposes are the original clips, so then in list view you have to twirl down the stupid finicky arrow to see the assigned keywords.

TAGS ARE NOT THE SAME AS BINS. NOT AT ALL. NOT IN CONCEPTION, SEMANTICS, OR OPERATION.

I had a shouting fit again. I recognise the strength of tagging but if forced to, I will choose bins every last time – they’re way more muscular and robust overall and also allow for spatial organisation which is not to be underestimated. As opposed to that hulking stupid inappropriate iphoto persistent digital assets management library wedged up there in the corner of FCPX. I think that thing gets far too much respect.

[Jeremy Garchow] “although I’m a bit gun shy as I feel like I’ll have to defend what I see is the good in something when it’s obvious everything needs work. And I’m OK with FCPX needing work. Systems aren’t built overnight. Anyway,”

nay – that has got to be totally cool, otherwise It’s just mad hammerblows on FCPX here. sure its a debate forum and whatnot.

Proffering up – I had a sizzle reel gig start yesterday with a ton of marathon footage for a sports client – clips were say 10-30 seconds to 2-3 minutes long, shot on bikes and stationary – they included critical reaction moments with female runners, sports branding, city surrounds and DJ in situ passerby shots -all part of varying long record 5D clips.

let no one for one second think that i did not see myself bounding sub sections of these clips in yellow, and transferring them to assigned keywords, because I did.
I – mind’s eye – saw how I was doing that in FCPX. All day.
Instead… with an aversion to instant sub-clipping and all it entails – i was constructing multi-keyword file descriptions after viewing with multiple marker sets to function as in and outs in preparation for laying down sequence selects for the major keywords.
(with no sort of vital VO audio, I prefer dumping a sequence selects lay down bar subclips? please anyone chime in there – no really)

there is a lot of that ,said the idiot, in FCP7

also it was all off 5D MK2. I lost most of yesterday to mpeg streamclip.

I did bodge initial selects using file colour coding in the finder while mpeg streamclip was chugging away.

there is a necessary application here in FCPX, but there is just too much crazy wrong – screen real estate – my sort of biggie – extensibility, fears over apple’s true goals (valid) the operation of the timeline (in and out only on the primary? really?) and whathaveyou. anyway.

I. want. tracks. not metaphors, tracks.

lo cry! we beat cupertino doors, and pray get a functional application.

two functional providers left standing, with one near insolvent, is el bad painting.

I feel I should say – the cat contained in that sentence is ok – she is purring – and she is ok.

jumping in with my usual balls –

[Simon Ubsdell] “nothing actually feels like it’s got the space it needs. I really don’t feel that enough care was put into designing a space-efficient UI this time around, especially when it’s meant to be able to function as a single screen environment.”

yesss. I’m genuinely sort of crazy on this point – the application feels incredibly screen tight sometimes? I’m not ranting on this, there really is some super whatnot deep capacity, although I rant about the event stuff, the fact that its actually there is impressive whatever and etc.
still – the kung fu required to get everything into a monolithic single window feels full to bursting?

but say we would like to invoke a source monitor – for a variety of purposes – or expose fuller colour, or effect timeline environments –

what is the way out of this as a single window interface without tabs?

I do like those rooms tho, he said simplistically, I will have.. a tracking colour room, annnd a tracks room and, what the hell, an audio post room.

[Bill Davis] “The truth is that we’re OUTSIDE. So we will likely never get an INSIDE view unless someone on the team writes a book – and then we’ll only get their view. “

I would kill to read that book.

I would quietly kill a cat to read that book – humanly – but, for the pages, I think.. I would kill that cat.
