[James Culbertson] “only applies to the specific task of doing a replace edit (using the selection tool)?”
you say it as if that is a tangential use case. I referenced it to make the point that in respect of that basic operation, the X timeline has so much grammatical garbage and preset rules around the operation that it is forced to ask a six part question before it can move on. sure you can sidestep it, but it still highlights a pretty glaring problem – at least it does in my opinion. It’s an over engineered timeline.

[Mark Raudonis] “Help me out here. Am I supposed to be the crocodile, the plover, or the wildebeest? “
good question. I did post it in the wee small hours, so one might draw a bachelder conclusion..

no charlie, we both know you’re telling a weirdly desperate fib there.
you know exactly what you could drag directly the timeline, and you chose, god love you, to present the weird canvas version you know no one used.
you know exactly the problems with the timeline. It can’t allow any more drag drop entry.
– because it simply has way too much asshat preset grammar to allow that basic function. FCPX couldn’t actually allow a drop drop to the timeline even if it wanted to.
to be fair you get that right? How degraded its basic efficiency is in that key respect versus 7?
because it’s a very stupid timeline.

this feels a greatly real representation of the adobe support scenario for the millions plus of adobe customers at play now.
It is in no way a false representation of likely support outcomes due to its high visibility.
these interactions are in no way a non-representative show. It is likely an even handed representation of likely outcomes.

I’ve always enjoyed dragging a range to the primary in X. the fact that the software can’t even complete the action without presenting a six way menu always felt a sure sign of the best new cupertino thinking.
still tho – 7 does have it beat there. with 7, you do get to drop the clip to timeline without six forced query options.

the fact that they’re having to propose these questions through software every time you commit such a basic action must be incredibly satisfying on their end. relative to the drag drop object simplicity they had, this insane convoluted Esperanto must feel like quite the achievement.

[Charlie Austin] “Though at least MC can link to external media now. kind of.”
not on the ground it doesn’t. there are no instances where ama is operated in scenarios where it would provide the benefits intended. it’s a fig leaf that never operates in an interplay scenario,
avid is financially designed as a closed walled world, ragnarok comes- edit – and more giving out about avid. bachelder.

the hell with it –
I’m in a place for a bit that has vast quantities of avid. seas of it. and avid people. defensive, defensive avid people.
I couldn’t really say much of anything before, but now I have been exposed to the horror.
So fine – there is interplay on isis. that is all super impressive, watch us drag edits out of the isis – that’s all great. maybe we check them back in. Avid is doing all that stuff. Inside a gigantic mountain called avid go away.the point is it’s an entirely locked media scenario you can’t easily get out of. we all likely want to get into and out of the edit all the time, take the footage items in edit process other places or to other people in process – say even if the other person is us. not in bloody interplay world we don’t. It intellectually locks the edit away. It’s an irritating belgium you need a passport for. And it’s a place defended by a class of editors desperate to defend it. it feels dis-likable.
but lo the timeline. Oh that jkl trimming that no one ever seems to use. Where the hell is clip enable disable?
why is there that moronic track level disable that shines down vertically? how well does that work for stacking alternate shots?why does it insist on operating on the cut points? why does it throw you into an over engineered trim tool for the most trivial actions? after stupid keyboard actions to get you into the fabled trim mode? Why cant I simply directly operate slip slide as a selectable tool on the clip as an object nevermind the trim points? Why doesn’t it recognise the clip itself as an extant edit object? (caveat – i don’t feel the smart tools perform this)
why is it a finicky complicated mess?effects – oh effects the insanity. even avid editors get embarrassed here. sometimes they barely know what’s going on. why doesn’t the effect want to apply ? who knows. but there’s a yellow dot there and avid is saying another effect can’t be applied. perhaps it’s the order of effects. maybe you need to step inside the effect. – cue canned laughter at the utter joke that is the avid effects insanity.
but wait – no no – there’s more. if you want to modify the effect, you need to randomly select the effect keyframe icon below the monitor and turn it pink before you move to alter the effect in the effect parameter area. because science. the science of a company producing stupid workflows to protect stupid workflows to produce a car that looks and acts like a hedgehog, for people who desperately need the editing system to act like a hedgehog to newcomers. because guild science.
there is no end to the hilarious kafkauseque games a generation of insane editors have played to produce an editing system that literally points every sign the wrong way, producing a system that would make the word obtuse blush with shame.
avid is a designed assault course of moronic obfuscation. It feels like a british trade union that dreamed what it could really hope to be in the seventies.

there has to be a funny point that 12 people in a greenhouse today can be, for a bit, as vertically integrated as warner brothers was in the the thirties –
they actually kind of do have the definition control of, for pennies, state of the art production, distribution and global mass exhibition.
or at least they did for the afternoon they decided they wanted it. someone in iceland probably watched that.I personally prefer the greatest commercial ever made myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-RLqLx1iYI

I myself really want to give out about avid. so very, very badly.
