[Shawn Miller] “In the past, it wasn’t that unusual for companies like that to pay several thousand dollars a day to produce simple, short, talking head videos. [breaking in here, reality just broke] Obviously those days are gone, but (luckily) the notion that these videos have value has remained. So for many of them, $1000.00 for a full day of video production work isn’t that big of a deal.”
oh good baby jesus. does anyone under forty in london want to get in on this one.

nah just kidding charlie. we’re long past banging pots over the software. realistically – what’s going on inside the warner bros lot is going to make for fascinating reading and crow eating. once its industry apparent that team can work it, snark gets parked.
presuming they’ll be engaged in incorporating invisible vfx shots etc – it’d go to shot replace methodology and everything. it’ll have to be quite a workflow for the interested you’d reckon. also the degree to which they utilised core features like auditions and, yes, secondary storylines.
there’s really no way the software is not getting an insane workout in that lot bungalow. mad to think its going on at the mo.

sure you’re charging what you’re worth there shawn. fair ball!
you’re fully minted 3d/2d mograph with editing tho right? that is somewhat the holy grail to be fair.

hey sure I’m only rabble rousing. no harm once a month or so – I very rarely criticise the software these days. but as is detailed above – X has no true replace edit, and you were forced into secondary storyline modality to get to where you wanted to go in the response you gave.
Andy Neil knows the software like the back of his hand and he conceded – in the constraints I set out – the software can’t perform what I would view as a basic editing action – because it builds vertically from the primary. having to create modalities like a secondary storyline is a bit tortured basically.
as to say – what is a secondary storyline other than tortured methodology to get around intrinsic limitations? And if I’m always thinking about the ceiling over my head, and when its going to require modalities like a secondary storyline, then I think I’m in a stupid timeline.
ok – not a stupid editing system – tons of it is whizz bang and i own my copy. but i refuse to cotton the timeline. that is the thing i harp on about.

[Shawn Miller] “I wouldn’t quote anything less than $700 for a full day,”
jesus shawn ye have it good. as good as I’ll get is around $580 for the day off a minted client.
broadcast UK freelance for short form is well lower than that too.https://vimeo.com/user1590967/videos http://www.ogallchoir.net promo producer/editor.grading/motion graphics

old habits die hard. same goes for quite a few people on here. I haven’t raged on the timeline in a respectably long time tho..

[Andy Neil] “You can of course drag the clip atop the 2nd level clip and then move the next clip down up so that it’s above the new clip. Or you can mark an IN halfway into the 2nd level clip and an OUT at the point where the 3rd level clip starts and then hit Q to place a connected clip that is above the 2nd layer and adjacent to the 3rd layer “
and hello everyone to the utter and complete insanity that is FCPX. an editing system answering questions no one ever asked very badly.
apologies andy – that still is my basic position on it.

[Andy Neil] “I have to either perform a replace edit followed by a trim, making sure I include any overlapping tracks in the trim, or else an insert edit followed by an extract or lift and then selecting forward and reconnecting the entire sequence so it’s in the right place.”
no. that’s kind of completely wrong actually. to make this as simple as possible. you cannot, as per my example, even FCP7 style drag and drop an item onto the second level, cutting into the second level video object and sitting below the third level video object.
to be clear – you cannot enact basic speculative editing decisions because of the enforced hierarchy.
it’s not rocket science this.

yes, but andy the stupid never ends.
these are all floating objects in the snapshot – I have no real edit anchors or editorial space outside them. i can’t cut in on the second level – to see what a short sharp clip does there before the third clip above it and to the right in time kicks in, because there is no real editing environment – all new elements will simply grow above.
this is all just made up object orientated stupidity.
apple have overdone the object identity of VA items – they have removed the surrounding environment because the engineers thought that was clever and would focus minds on the role of the elements.
I am inclined to think that was actually stupid in the long run.
