[Steve Connor] “BTW PPro CC is very good, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it became the NLE of choice for all the FCP holdouts.”
me neither – I stood outside a pub friday with a long form editor that does factual and has (hello) cut panorama stuff – they had literally just had their first taste of premiere CC.
they were, gods honest, slightly rapturous.
they gave out about the media management – but – broadly and quite genuinely rapturous.
first blush they basically couldn’t believe how good it was. Quite the FCP8 conversation.“I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it became the NLE of choice for all the FCP holdouts.”
me neither – you’d think some basic PR and mild subscription tinkering would completely close out the issue for adobe.https://vimeo.com/user1590967/videos http://www.ogallchoir.net promo producer/editor.grading/motion graphics

my ass. hey – I am a lowly corpo guy. you just can’t beat the cheap seats in here. Craig slattery also got support from some beeb cutters in scotland.
but the bit about no X in the walkabout workflow survey is true afaik. that actually is horses mouth.
on the other hand, apparently they’re getting external directorial talent at all levels hitting them with 4-5K capture like its going out of style – that’s apparently a real issue given they can’t control the scenario – and them just after blowing truly crazy money to no effect on the failed digital workflow archive initiative thing.X does seem to do pretty well at 4K with off the shelf hardware last I heard.

sure – I definitely didn’t realise he was the senior editor for the series – that’s very interesting – he had some arguments with other senior avid based BBC editors on here about FCPX. they were extremely forthright with him. I’m a lowly corpo guy largely. I had some arguments with craig too on some stuff.

[Steve Connor] “Very true, let’s remember FCPX is the newest NLE on the market and it has improved faster than any other NLE I have seen over the last twenty years. “
has it really? where was that software coming from anyway? it just took them a year to come up with a library container. We’ve got a company half literally reshaping human computing – that is now attached to editing by something like sentiment if we’re being honest.
then we’ve got another company suddenly highly motivated to produce permanent rental extraction for a working lifetime, and then we’ve got another company that used to know how to squeeze money until the pips squeak – in a financial meltdown and getting de-listed from the NASDAQ.
so everyone gets three market providers for 99% of editing software positions in the field: a capricious god, a fresh loan shark, and a really angry old man, wearing horribly old clothing.
superb, just – superb.

[Michael Sanders] “Er… you might want to double check your facts first.
BBC 2’s The Culture Show has been cut on FCP X almost exclusively since the start of 2013. According to the senior editor who posts here occasionally. If that has changed I think its down to politics at the BBC rather than problems with the SW.
If you read between the lines of Larry Jordans Amsterdam Supermeet keynote , there is a multi million dollar movie currently begin cut on X – and doing well and quickly thanks to programs like Sync and Link from IA.
“I’m not going to overstate this, but both those examples are open to interpretation – craig slattery cuts at a high level freelance on X – i’m not sure the show is a predominantly X cut show. Say bullshitting that I spoke with a workflow dude who visited most of the BBC sites on a form of d.i.t. workflow reconnoiter for the higher brass, as far as i can understand, FCPX effectively does not currently exist within the BBC.
In any context or scenario pertaining to their concerns regarding new media workflow.
Nor does it in SKY for instance, or within Soho in any shape or form. the fcp.dot.one guys are weirdly interesting, given all their testimonial examples are years old and relate to 7. Including places like UNIT and VIASAT where I’ve periodically knocked around. UNIT were notable for having had a locked keycode door for the apple room where they cut the localised apple ads. UNIT were an FCP7 house. UNIT are not an FCPX house.As to the hundred million dollar film – on some level, the less said about Larry Jordan’s PT Barnum show in Amsterdam the better. I’m grinding a saw there though. its not like X can’t do it – but where he went with that demo is arguably dodgy. And the guy he cited, mestman, after his FCP.CO splash is, I hear, launching a motivational tour and X merchandise range.

how much CC penetration are you seeing? I’m not seeing that much. at this rate we’ll be on CS6 and FCP7 in 2018.
adobe feel to a lot of people like uncommunicative bad faith partners, run by investment shareholders, trying to strong arm their base against their will.
[Steve Connor] “The problem is that if you are a Freelancer whose clients start to use CC, then you will have to subscribe to stay current on the software.
“the bottom line is that nobody likes adobe for this, and more basically, nobody trusts adobe on this. and with good reason – technically, they look like morons running it, the support is running them five quid a year, and millions of people just had to scratch their credit card because adobe don’t know their ass from their elbow when it comes to pulling monthly rent for twenty year old software.
say we all like photoshop and we all like john knoll,
but there is some weird crowd running that shop, making a killing daily on their share sell offs, and, overall, as a bed to get in, it looks like a freaky bed to me.https://vimeo.com/user1590967/videos http://www.ogallchoir.net promo producer/editor.grading/motion graphics

[Andrew Kimery] “Not everyone is in the same boat. I’m a hired gun and with the projects I typically work on once I’m done, I’m done.”
me too – but realistically – this is a much bigger issue: every time you boot up the software, you’re on their dime.
i wouldn’t mind but it looks like they’re incompetent managing the service too. and the backend support is two windup woodpeckers tapping the keyboard.It’s not a great situation.

nice herb.
it’s just the feeling that they sat and waited to see if they could realistically roll the entire remaining base over.
for a crowd that bleat about listening to their customers like its the only words they ever learnt,
they are about as open an ear on this issue as a loan shark in a bad mood.also:
Our job is to delight our customers with innovation, but there are a number of options open to us here and we expect to have news around this issue shortly.”sometimes I could barf listening to adobe.

walter, you are a mad scientist. so is ubsdell at that.
you’d suspect that between the pair of you, as an IQ, there is a really, really good bowling score.

heartfelt there garchow. Personally, I’ve learnt a fair ton from the discussions on here. They can get to a high pitch sometimes.
Piops jeremy for god’s sake – PIOPs. I can’t believe I bulls*tted to the degree I did on that. I barely knew what I was talking about.
Although, I would like everyone to remember and formally acknowledge that I mocked up a decent alternative keyframing apparatus for X.
I am just saying. God knows it needs it.that said – I’m surprised more people don’t take advantage of the actually quite nice, cheap seat bleachers in here.
