that was amazingly clear – I actually got that.

[Jeremy Garchow] “I really really liked that in FCP 10.0, that footage can be here AND there (in this collection AND that collection).”
yeah – that felt instinctively cool to me – it goes to the whole diffuse tagging of footage thing.
[Jeremy Garchow] “Why have Events at all? “
should have been clearer – that’s basically what I meant – you wouldn’t think in application buckets need to be any stronger than the rules of a folder. or a bin as they called the folder in 7 – I was snark joking about calling the folders events.
seeing as how you’re mounting libraries the way you mounted events, It doesn’t make sense to keep the serious strictures of events within the new library container – folders should basically do it really for sub organisation within a library. given created events have no external reality in the finder now.
(except inside package contents of the library? are they keeping the event rules because they are forced to replicate inside FCPX the footage copy actions they are having to do inside the package contents of the library in the finder?)https://vimeo.com/user1590967/videos http://www.ogallchoir.net promo producer/editor.grading/motion graphics

[Michael Sanders] “Personally I would like a way where render files, transcoded media etc could go on my fast RAID (where they need to be) – and not in the project file. The project file would then be nice and small and could live on the system drive and get backed up with other small files like motion projects, image files etc.
“if they end up back at the FCP7 project media split architecture 4-5 years into X, that is going to be genuinely hilarious.

if the event has no external reality – and it doesn’t appear to as the library is the visible container now –
why maintain those kinds of serious – copy only – type canonical event rules within a library?
If the event largely exists only as a construct within FCPX – why don’t they just introduce folders and be done with it?
The folders could get the event icon to hide cupertino’s blushes, or, you know, they could just call the folders bins…

[Andy Neil] “Expressions could be designed like functions in a spreadsheet program where the interface could list them and prompt you for the parameters that need to be shown as values. Essentially make expressions easier to write so that you’re not dealing with a situation where your animation doesn’t work because you didn’t put the right number of parameter values between parentheses.
“there are around a million examples of what you are describing in AE – one of the most famous is ease and whizz – a really nice keyframe acceleration controller that is basically a front end for a script. you’re aware that the scripting language in AE actually has GUI and slider tools available to it?
Like shawn said – motion is a version of mograph designed for editors, as in to say, not designers – you can tell because, as shawn pointed out, in its nine years of existence, the only people who use motion are editors. designers use after effects.
I’ve been at it since around 98 and i’ve never met a single mograph guy who used motion, or worked with a single brand asset built and deployed in motion.

[TImothy Auld] “it just does not seem stable enough to me for use as the primary NLE on any long form project. Yet.”
also -hey – you might like to perform certain reliable editing actions to trigger, say, that tube purchase, if FCPX is to be the blade for three thousand dollar razors.
if fcpx is to be a come hither for a deadly serious 4K hardware purchase, shouldn’t they raise their non-consumer skirts a bit more? tearable Tabs?
timeline demagnetising for the ingrates? as in the ability to lock elements to time? the ability to invoke david lawrence style universal time as discussed at fcpx grill? any functional keyboard editing outside the primary?the inspector focus switch live dot feels like apple trying to avoid the reality of the primary timeline problem. if they were to allow keyboard editing command focus to become slave to the dot it would get worse. but they still have to allow keyboard driven editing out of the primary regardless at some point. that dot is a massive version of them not accepting that reality.
also Ganging? how would that work? real match frame? a scrubbable viewer? it really doesn’t half feel like its piling up at their doorstep.
If those questions could be happily ignored then fine – their intellectual schema worked.you might think it hasn’t and the entire software project is fundamentally amidships.
they are pitching their most surreal hardware with FCPX – 38 4K screens etc – they maybe need to decide fairly soon what that software is actually for.
determining that it is somehow all things to all people is, in a way, a pretty crappy intellectual conclusion.

broadly so then: do you believe FCPX, at around version 10.0.8 (?), with the event project architecture, is currently editing a hundred million dollar, major studio feature as described by mestman and jordan?
I’m half inclined to think I’m going to be really horribly stupid in hindsight given how incredibly clear the statements have been.

[TImothy Auld] “in its current state of flux and instability to think that it would be the primary NLE on any budgeted feature is laughable.”
that’s all on you Auld. I myself was carefully non-committal.
sure really, thinking about it, all this requires is sam mestman stepping in to calm the whole thing down. with a clear statement about the film and any likelihood of future public developments.
simple as really. just any clear future statement about the hundred million dollar FCPX feature that doesn’t go beyond the self publicity himself and Jordan have engaged in to this point. and then the cheap seats in the wee lunatic forum are covered in egg as they should be.
and lets face it – larry jordan was incredibly specific regarding direct studio feature X editor conversations, nda’s, timelines, major studio provenance, budget etc.
it is actually kind of inconceivable that that could all prove to be less than on the complete level by all parties.
again – adults simply step in to clarify = egg on cheap seat faces.

the custom GUI possibilities with the new fcpx plug stuff kind of side steps this though right? other people can step in? with tear off tabs apparently?
I should boot it up – but is it easy currently to do push pull changes within the shadows and highlights in FCPX for cooler shadows and warmer highlights?
does FCPX easily allow for those kinds of experimentation? if not, what was gained by the removal of the colour wheel space?do you find there are unique advantages to the collapsed square grid apple colour science layout?
out of curiosity – has anyone tried that before? Painter had a circle triangle thing – and photoshop had a rectangular mini color picker back in the day – but did apple come up with this thing out of the blue?I prefer a circle me.

[Bill Davis] “Putin’s having trouble with the terrorists in Russia primarily because none of the factions can decide whether to cut their pre-Olympics terrorist manifesto EPKs in Premier or X?”
you’re a bad, bad man Davis. word apparently is they went premiere. some people told them X suited the editing workflow far better but the Chechyan fools went rental. ownership for gods sake.
.. and now we are all going to hell.
