I gave you a very specific argument Chris, you failed to notice it, I’m going to repeat it.
FCP7 wasn’t a multitrack editor, editing is a multitrack operation, editing systems are an expression of that truth, or they were until that intergalactic moron Randy wrote the words ‘primary storyline – rad!’ drunk on a napkin and had the insight of his life, in how he might go about making another infinite loop revolution to sweep up the world, or to look at it another way, he dissapeared up his own fundament and destroyed a piece of software we all rely heavily on.

Oh give me a break. Chris, in reference to V1 and V2 I am never Chris, never do you hear me, never going to refer to them as primary and secondary storyline. If I did, I would have to walk up to a mirror and punch myself in the face. What’s V4 anyway? Postscript? What’s A4? Whispers off stage?
The software is full to brim with the most stupid, stupid shite.
And so again, having V2, that’s right, I’m going to marker it directly onto the LCD, having clips laid onto V2 glue themselves to clips on V1, that’s right – V1, having the software gluing stuff together for me, the guy holding the mouse trying to have a think, is stupid, grandly pompous of randy, horribly misguided, deeply annoying and yes, it is truly, truly dumb.
I’ll say it again Chris and I want you to think about it: FCP7 wasn’t a multitrack editor, editing is a multitrack operation.

No no Chris – FCP7 wasn’t a multitrack editor, Chris – editing is a multitrack operation.
The hubris and pomposity of the “solutions” proposed by Randy in this ludicrous piece of software just about take my breath away.

Oh for the love of Pete – chris, can you honestly tell me that you think it is a good idea, that when I place a clip on V2 that it glues itself immediately to the clip below? Because, and here’s my personal take on this of course, it’s not a good idea Chris, it’s a shite idea, it’s one of the stupidest things I’ve heard in many a goodly long aeon. It’s such an indescribably shite and pompous decision Randy made there that I actually think he has been programmed by adobe like the manchurian candidate to wreak Final Cut – you’re having a laugh mate – Pro.

No. Its designed to connect things for you without you asking, it’s labelled with moronic fisher price terms like ‘primary storyline’, the default behavior of clips is that they are indestructible, the default behaviour of the timeline is that things get out of each others way either vertically or horizontally – if this thing had any more collison detection, and auto behavior you could just sit back and watch the wanky animations as the timeline jumped up and down and slid around itself. It’s a timeline for morons.

Mike did you just tell anyone and everyone who complains on this board about the state of FCPX to shut the f**k up?
How precisely have you determined that it is your say so?
You’ll note the degree of press coverage the flaws in this software are beginning to attract. That is largely because we are all, as a group of professionals, making noise on this forum and elsewhere. most articles are quoting directly or indirectly feedback from the user forums. Pogue actually quoted “cannot pause or fork autosave” in his latest piece listing the problems – that line comes directly from one of my rants. Walter biscardi has been directly quoted numerous times, harringtons response to pogue has been quoted. It is very important that we all forcefully push and maintain a strong line on the issues pertaining to FCPX, so telling everyone to shut the f**k up is not useful.

no no –
we kick their asses and we get our editing application back – is anyone confused on this point?

indeed.
its a bit much this, its just the sheer lunacy of it, the tortured attempts to boil consumer and professional into a big pot and produce a solution – the stupidity of the goal itself is really and truly dispiriting – i accept that at file system level, its a worthy conundrum, but to then chose to mangle our little pursuit of editing, to break our carefully won bones –
– god almighty apple – We always knew you could turn, but what did editing ever do to you? surely we never slighted the shop? why did you have to go and do this to us?
there had to have been an easier way for you to make money yes?For gods sake – couldn’t you have just left us alone?

fair enough – and lets focus –
apple have just coded and dropped an unimaginable number of people in the sh*t.
lets all just remember what an editing application looks like and try to speak to apple.
If they don’t give vocal back soon, all the facilities may really be gone, a ton of london are literally walking as we speak – we have to find a way to communicate brass tacks to the company. There are annual budgets everywhere and the numbers are dropping around us. There has to be a way to communicate. Storylines with second storylines auto linking is going to fail at every single last professional hurdle. forget the lack of multicam, that alone – the timeline is becoming a spoken joke.

that’s the thing I love about Gruber when he’s firehosing for apple – you really get the big italics.
Apple made a play to make ipods out of editing. That as much speaks for itself.
yep.
