I’ll say this Bill: the fcpx skimmer reaction fluidity picks up the adobe hover scrub, bunches it into a ball, and throws it into next week.

Apple have crazy science on the skimmer!
And yes indeed there’s the fact that I’m renting a publishing house, pre-press, web creation and illustration for no reason I understand.
That all makes me more happy every day to rent the stuff I actually use. Because, as designed, at some point, Shantanyu is coming for us all.

They built a big cannon ball aimed directly at their prior customers. In a way, they arguably put a gun to my head even. I took out my card in a difficult freelance client situation on site? I had CS6, but they’d hobbled the ability to get back to CS software though the CC management software. It’s boring, but it was super deliberate obfuscation. They made access to CS software downloads oddly difficult. So I bought CC on the spot.

Realistically, adobe are going for ever increasing subscription cash once they feel the numbers are safe. Otherwise why build that gun and place it against the temple of their former customers in the first place? Adobe want all the money and quite soon please.
Classic, classic sociopathic corporation move.

Premiere is still pretty great.

yarp. I’m using Ppro for a bit in town on mood films lately. It’s just an utterly savage system to be used in anger? Client attended even. On two monitors with hover scrub bins, effect controls and an audio mixer set up on the left monitor it’s pretty much thor’s hammer. pancaking timelines FTW.
I’m ultimately glad Apple went where they did – because adobe probably wouldn’t have gone anywhere near this far otherwise. It’s a monstrous system.

[Steve Connor] “But you have to rent that functionality 🙂
“

But Steve, for type acceleration movement alone, say in mood film previz scenarios (never mind faking camera moves): if it’s a choice between the dreaded rent and X, we might as well have an adult conversation on the short comings. X can’t keyframe its way out of a paper bag. That’s an issue.

You mean FCPX works? Someone call the papers – although – quoting from the article:

However, using the Transform panel in the Inspector, you can ease Position animations, but not Scale. This would cause an odd serpentine motion to the animation, which could only be fixed by switching Position keyframes to “Linear”.

HAAAAAAaaaaaaa ha ha ha ah. oh tee hee.
how are you people not out front of cupertino holding pitchforks at this stage?

I’m not being mean but, guys, seriously:

[Gabe Strong] “In all honesty, NLEs are kind of like cameras. They all have stengths and
weaknesses and there isn’t a perfect one out there.”

yep, that’s the truth of it.

so I googled for fun –

In the below video the two demonstrators seem to be checking in and out of the same timeline – observe:

“now notice that we’ve been working on the same timeline and the same assets”

https://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-anywhere/introducing-adobe-anywhere-for-video/

that’s two people, to my understanding limited by light speed for real time editing response. Adobe anywhere can’t operate past a continental land mass for slap stop real time response. At a hardware level it’s operating on a light speed limit. But they’re both in a single production bashing away at a timeline though.

edit – none of this applies in the new local software only version of course. But adobe pulled some serious god level stuff with the hardware incarnation. the project sharing matches avid as far as I understand it.

[Andrew Kimery] ” unless you can seamlessly have multiple people working (and saving their work) inside the same Premiere Pro project at the same time. The ability to have everyone in the same project concurrently is really what separates Avid from every other NLE when it comes to multi-user environments. “

yep. that’s anywhere. It’s a production and you all sign into the same project/production – the only thing you can’t do is simultaneously work on the same timeline. Adobe could have done it – they engineered the hell out of it – but they thought that would get too barmy. But you, me, Billy Tom and the two assistant editors can all be in the same project/production working away and sharing assets, we all see the updated GFX when they’re imported we can all source the same stuff, I can pull from your timeline in a read only state, you can source in real time from my timeline in a read only state – it’s extremely powerful really – unless I got all of the above wrong, it’s been a while since I read up on it – but bar exposing bins in the finder ala avid, it’s every bit a match for avid – supersedes it handily if you throw in the proprietary instant streaming of assets anywhere for remote editing. With the hardware setup Billy and Tom can check into the production from half a continent away and start editing with live encoded streams. The demos of that are utterly bonkers..

[Bill Davis] “Just how I think as a editor with new tools.
“

In a way I’m not surprised you think you have that, given apple want you to think that. On some level, you got sold. FCPX is a carny circus really. They reformulated all basic edit operations into a three shell game and waited for the rubes at the door. You were the rubes.

because, taken as a whole, it’s the best editing system on the market by a country mile, but I fully understand that some aspects of the are “meh”. 🙂
