christ but I’ll say this much – if i never hear the words ‘magnetic timeline’ for the rest of my life it will not be too soon.

wanky consumer branding balls of a phrase.

oh great, I’m sure Phil’s right. what could it be? Will it have magnetic in the title? Will we see it in this calender year?

now that we no longer have, nor will we ever have again designated tracks, OMF, XML, and EDL are permanently dead. Apple saying they’re going to figure something out doesn’t alter that fact. We can’t even designate A1 and A2 for vo, A3 and A4 for music etc. That isn’t coming back. Can you see them dropping their stupid storyline bollocks? remember randy breathlessly saying “you don’t need to designate tracks!” Well, I’m sorry randy, you evangelical moron, I really, really do.

Apple can say they’re fixing it, but they’re lying – there’s nothing to fix. There’s no EDL, no tracks, this is a glistening 64bit iMovie with iCNN export abilities. This system is never going to talk to another system again as we would require it to. Its not intended to – Apple took away all the architecture necessary for XML, EDL, and OMF to work – can everyone please internalise that fact? They ripped that functionality out in order to make randy’s bollocks storytime storyline with padded clips that jump around each other like scared cats.

They made a prosumer app – FCP is dead and gone. they made the app they wanted to make – FCP is not coming back, XML is not coming back, OMF is not coming back, EDLs are not coming back.

[Andrew Corneles] “I just can’t believe people will argue that rebadging and updating
iMovie is anything more than the end game of creating a huge
professional market, bringing in the top people to push it
in the industry, and then using the nameplate to sell millions of
copies at $300 a pop to every apple zealot that has a dslr or what have you.
“

thats the nutshell of the year.

seconded. I could care less about the technical underpinnings right now, and I have no interest in having anyone explain the minutiae of the AV foundation to me.

this actually speaks to simon ubsdell’s point about forking the forum – I guess as long as I and the other hordes run out of crazed shock pretty soon it’s ok – but there should be growing space for in use feedback pretty soon.

still – only two days on from a black sox moment all the same.

say it aint so joe?

and as we know so well, in infinity loop, joe sucks grapes and smiles.
