[Craig Seeman] ” It may have been “difficult” decision. Sadly it’s not likely we’ll know that.”

we just need to bug the boardroom: a few editing Liddy’s, a few editing Howard Hunts, balaclavas and mikes.

Or, well, Apple could just open their gnomic traps.

[Bill Davis] “abjectly dismissed”

nope, i just said that, like many of us, you are a loud one bill.

I could back myself up with the irish supreme court justice, but well, I can’t really see the reason.

Bill, you’re one of the loud voices. I just tried to make a sentence stringing all your caps words in the post together. You’re also telling people to obey library rules. Who are you to be telling people how to comport themselves? Why should anyone listen to you above anyone else?

That said, anytime the likes of David Lawrence or Soyka take hold of the conversation it gets an awful lot smarter. I’m still running that whole relative absolute time thing around my brain. That bloke Lawrence is wicked smart.

Great reply, hanging off my blurb and rather meant for the Walter – but just to say – that’s a nuanced post – is there an ultimate truth to the practise of editing, ala see the flammable celluloid in your mind – that it is an anchoring truth – or can it all now be be sublimated completely to new ways of thinking ala issues of organization and recall growing out of words and tags etc. I’m regurgitating there but it’s all a bit interesting that.

Like – are there valid historical truths to editing; does it have a memory as a craft, or is editing instead a malleable expression of something outside of itself such that the practise of it can be completely reformulated by time and technology?

Walter Murch, blinks, and the bee dance as the man says.

Walter Soyka : “some problems are easier to solve linearly (radio edit, then visuals), and some problems are easier to solve non-linearly (assembly followed by re-arranging to shape the story)”

and – “From FCP’s immense flexibility, I added what I’d consider a clay-sculpting approach to my mental toolbox. I could throw things on the timeline, use multiple layers as a scratch pad, and manipulate clips and edits directly on the timeline with the mouse.”

Poking head in late. Super super duper interesting stuff. Deadly thread. I’m honestly personally deeply confused on this point. I was taught radio edit for promos and short form – it’s an impeccable approach born from serious prior limitations. But it’s still immensely correct now in certain circumstances. Which make this whole thing metaphysically weird – limitations of craft impose discipline which bears real fruit. so what does perceived limitation mean? and given that FCPX has conscious limitations, or rather – shapings – of approach what does it mean this time? There are consciously designed channels of execution in FCPX, mostly regarding an explicit statement of function; that the provision of b-roll is a near absolute eventuality on V2 that deserves explicit terms, linking and methodology, such that it is easily absorbed by an early entrant as it is one of the invariable uses and expressions of the vertical stack, that the vertical stack is, as a verb, effectively “b-roll” second story or what have you…
To define the intelligible purpose of the stack – it’s reality in practice – is something which on a certain level I find myself having quiet difficulty disagreeing with.

But I also – looking carefully at my pots of expended bile – do really find myself hovering back to Walters interspersed question – is this degree of conscious pre-shaping, literally provisioning packaged second storyline verbs and nouns of editing usage of the toolset at its most basic level an issue?

Nah fair enough. I personally like to argue the issue as opposed to the man. By and large. Plus I don’t know how to stop posting at this point.

I am comfortable with my fate. Also there are multiple ways in donegal Irish to spell my second name. I avail myself of variations. As to anyone reading the rants, I’m comfortable with that – I do not rant alone, and there is a lot to be annoyed about. There is an energized discussion here. I’m ok with it. Besides, on the outside of the bell curve, some of the passive aggressive moonie like support for this app might raise eyebrows too.

“You might actually end up offending your fellow professionals and potential clients. That might not be good for your business.”

Oh for the love of god. Please. What kind of comment is that? What are you doing making pronouncements like that? I myself live in terror of being on Randy Ubillos’s sh*t list. Soon I will not be able to board a plane. I’ll be black flagged.

Craig. Really.

Very good post. Why is the ability to slip the connection point interesting?
