sure craig – i get that, I pretty much (ill informed), agree with your presumption that apple are going to alter the context of the mac pro, but lets not oversell that, the meme of modular thunderbolt enabled amazing computing is doing just fine.
my issue is with the state of the proapps software vendor that still survives within apple attempting to output and sustain this software platform.
do we think, given its diminished size, its performance in delivering this pre beta software for sale, and its financial insignificance to apple, that this is a believably stable software provider? does it look or act stable? does this feel like a stable scenario for us?http://www.ogallchoir.net

[Bill Davis] ”
FCP-X running on an iPad – with a small bluetooth keyboard in play – gives you a simple travel system that could do basic rough cuts incredibly well.
“Incredibly well.
I’m going to take issue here -how does it do it incredibly well?
what are you talking about? what ipad is doing this? how is the bluetooth keyboard interacting with my hands? how am I accessing menu commands? Is this an unseen new FCP on an unseen new ipad? how do they function? How am I working with the timeline? Am I exposing full OSX to manage events?
is the ipad in landscape? Am I viewing the entire interface? how is project management functioning? Is there a card reader? Am I trying to source multiple streams over wifi? is there local storage?this is idealised, magical thinking. It’s not much of any use, in any debate.

i think what remains of the apple proapps team took a punt with this software and I don’t think the ball/puck travelled anywhere near as far as they might have hoped.
so say maybe this software isn’t the future, but rather a troubled experiment. the development team seems to be crazily scrambling right now – I read somewhere that the development notes on the new XML run to about five pages boiled down. the spec itself is unstable according to what I’m reading insofar as I get it. Its not even reliably carrying DB levels? So say It’s incomplete insofar as it is going to need significant revisions, which makes publishing it possibly a bad idea? Doesn’t a published XML spec need to be steady?You yourself acknowledged that the initial release was nearly alpha, which for a published Apple software product is incredibly surprising and… unnerving in its implications –
taken all together does this seem like a software platform in rude health? Does it feel like a software team in control, with the ability and the numbers to reliably execute going forward?bottom line – do we think the remains of proapps is a reliably functional software vendor?

[Craig Seeman] “many people in post can’t fathom what’s about to happen… FCPX is the leading edge of another round of major changes.”
that is magical thinking and the market will determine what FCPX is or is not. The answer appears to be different to certain people’s mystical prognostications on this forum, warbling about a glorious future where you can edit alone up a tree using three finger swipes on a ten inch screen to invoke dissolves on the half hour corporate piece you’re trying to edit.

Yes, this all makes coherent sense.

surely a 13″ screen can’t be considered an ideal editing environment? 15″ is about my limit.

whats all this “us” paleface? I imagine you in the role of the accuser in court here bill, justice O’ Connor looking down on you with kind eyes.. just kidding.
read the post – seriously, sometimes I don’t think you read the posts at all – i have it installed bill, but my three and a half year old laptop is not an ideal environment. I’m saving up for a new system, meantime, I just like to feel it in an ideal environment, so I go and sit on floor three of the covent garden apple store at one of the tables and do workflow and play around where there are better processors underneath the app. It was because I was screaming about the chrome killing timeline performance for a long time… on my laptop. I wanted to get a feel for it in a more ideal environment.
I dislike this application but that doesn’t mean i’m not intensely curious about the workflow.

I know – I’m overstating for effect. But I think apple have changed enough of it in approach that it’s an application alright, its digital asset management with a very unusual automated timeline, I guess basically I’m way over the top arguing that it’s sufficiently altered in it’s dna so as not to qualify as, like, an editing organism. Its genes are too weird and sullied. Think apple as a mad scientist splicing things together. The island of doctor moreau for editing software.

cheers bud,
lord, I swear to god, in this I am not a troll – the thing that kills me is that apple’s role here- their bloody duty – is to provide an editing system?
seriously – never mind whether FCPX is viable, and I mean this – is this thing actually an editing system?
As an intellectual proposition – does this software present a valid basis to learn fundamental editing?
With the kinds of masking behaviour it attempts?Is FCPX a valid basis upon which to first perceive the craft of editing.
Does it function in that respect.

there are pervasive problems in executing free form editing decisions in FCPX – really – read the post i put up there, it gets to the point.
my three year old lappie barely supports the system, so I’m reduced to standing in london apple shops cutting on display imacs until the shop hands hover intimidatingly close.
there are true structural problems with basic editing function in the application. the strange steps required to expose basic function with audio handling, or core music based editing, which i do a fair bit of are very surprising
I’m short form say – this is how I say use FCP as an editing base with AE on top
and this one is particularly music based,
FCPX’s handling of music, the role of the primary, the connected clips stuff, I’ve really messed around and its truly problematic. Its an encapsulation of editing, its not the action of editing itself. you really need a truly disinterested, calm and clean track based editor to get anything done i feel.
I do not believe pre-canned methodology – as a basic proposition – can work. Apple may say that they can boil down professional pursuits within their creative arts gamut, but I would like to see them try that for the supporting applications for architects say. I would be very curious to see their simplified intersections of science and technology as it applies to the software supporting structural beams.
I don’t think this is actually an editing application as commonly defined. I’m not sure what it is. But it is not a canvas of editing in basic broad use scenarios. It breaks way too easily. it’s made of china.
