I know – but its only inside that mega trim mode right? you have to access it via the cut points? It’s not really a thing – I just like to have a slip tool I can act on the video object. unless I’ve got this wrong.

[Daniel Frome] “probably due to the disproportionately high amount of training I received on it, versus the competition”

ok – seriously – for kicks:

the keyframing? as you highlight the marker in the monitor for some reason to make it pink to then alter the keyframe in the panel? can we have a moment of sanity? or the fact that the effects nest? or the fact that you can’t operate any slip slide tools on the video object?

It’s more the sense that avid is going to continue dragging its horrible, modal, over engineered trim mode nested effects two minute start up insanity for all human eternity that would depress a soul.

I get that avid software can’t be killed by conventional field weaponry or SEC investigations – but why and how is the avid timeline, project structure and keyframing still alive? are they actual cousins to rasputin?

apple still might have mis-cued. They took a stance that they could make their own intellectual statement on editing working from the base they had.
it doesn’t really look like that worked out. even on a profit perspective X isn’t arcing where you would want it to go off the graphs. virtually all long form that was 7 is now avid, and short form Disney and Viacom, CNN, Reuters, BBC worldwide, Hogarth and a pile of others are transitioning to Premiere Pro.

what apple strategically had with 7 they simply don’t have anymore. they constructed FCPX as a laid egg in private and now they have that.

[David Lawrence] “I’m actually impressed with their progress all things considered.”

I guess? although that period where major red.g etc plugs died for months on end does stick in the mind.
How has it been logging? if you’re not making monster timelines do you like the performance?

The group table video with the hollywood guy off the will smith film was funny – given the other guy sitting there from fcpxworks was fresh off the fcpx team – everyone kept asking about masterclip audio plugin drop to roles to effect some kind of bussing, and also nearly begging to widen the audio meter guis?
It’s hard to get a sense if apple are going to do any of that. fcpxworks guy kept hinting at the alex4d private calls list in x in general.
but you’d think he would do that.

“One day someone could be the star, the next day that person could be at the bottom of the pile,” a former Apple PR employee said. “A lot of people would leave after a year or two under Katie; it was like walking on eggshells,” added that person. She “struck fear in hearts and took years off my life,” another person said. “But it was good for you, it was a real baptism for me,” that person added.

that in no way sounds like an 80’s machined jobs avatar. mad read.

does anyone remember the account of the meeting he took with fox on the ipad intro where he turned up in a top hat for rupert murdoch?

[Bill Davis] “At the Apple launch of FCP X, sure the PR team wanted the message that X was the heir to Legacy rather than just iMovie Pro. “

surely isn’t the point that apple finally decided to do exactly what they intellectually wanted to do in media editing and organisation. They seem to have had a tendency towards globally altering basic computing reality lately.

any spin they’re doing is to present the validity of their argument. that’s fine – but all that said, and granted X is complex use case software – but if iOS demonstrated the periodical and sustained bugs X presents, half the monied west would be losing their minds.

as in I’m thinking ‘keep the inspector closed there for god’s sake‘ is the equivalent of being asked not to open iOS settings while you’re in itunes on your iphone.

that’s not really likely to happen and you’d think iOS is pretty complex itself. And in this thought experiment – apple haven’t even formally said there was a problem performing that action.

there seem to be sustained habitual frailties in X that persists from release to release. PR and all aside – apple seem quite OK with it occasionally hobbling along – as it did with major plugins like bullet for a period of months.

you’d think their best PR has an easy game with what are somewhat surreally perfect products. the iPhone might as well be a 21C wheel pulled out of the ground. my only gripe left is that I can’t kick it unharmed into the trees.

still: what’s the deal with that inspector issue?

*edit* i haven’t even read the article yet. jesus that’s gigantic.

YAY. thank you.

[Paul Neumann] “between list view and icon view? “

it’s the main directory twirl down explorer list on the left side column? It’s loading a ton of numbered root folders but its just wickedly jumpy I find.
I have the folder contents set in list view…
