[Charlie Austin] “some Luddite colleagues”

ah yes of course! 🙂

i was confused myself before cioni and mestman told me fcpx was the future. Glad to see mestman smoothly stepping in with training and a company on the topic for the new year.

clarifies the issue as it were! :))

sure the market decides mate, and other people busily run carny training circuses in the meantime eh? 🙂

BIEBERKOPF.

not bad there. five year plans without the need for capitalism sticks are tricky mind you. people appear to get lost.

software as a gift from the mighty barely remembering their former lowly selves is likely to run wrong.

that is a tricky entity to partner with for paychecks.

ah that’s kind of great to read – it really sounds like they did get christmas.

still – you’d think the FCP7 prairie herd really are about to finally move. they have to right? you’d also think apple would have worked quite a bit harder to signal them.

on some level this full .1 update reads –

“hello, we got the entire organisational structure wrong three years ago, we have now completely altered it. that largely represents this .1 upgrade. end of message”

you’d honestly think apple don’t have as long as apple think they have to get back into any kind of driver’s seat.
If they don’t shift their asses and iterate, this is going to be perceived as pages. with don’t care no pay updates.

listening to the ripple training guys there going on about crossing events with libraries and entering other countries as the metaphor went, I was struck by the thought – who the hell cares about this. why does anyone care about this?

how is this release signalling FCPX to the broader editing world? and if its solely for the FCPX guys, how is FCPX going anywhere?
does this .1 release have even a single new feature that would draw anyone’s attention coming from the competition?

through edits? project containers?

a bit ranty, but how did apple fail to come up with a single noteworthy advance to a disinterested observer?
after 14 months by craig seeman’s count?

ech.

[Andy Field] ” i can’t see how an editor would prefer to stop, key frame, stop, keyframe every single little audio mix when a real time keyframe recording mixer does it in one easy pass
“

i tried it once very late at night in a suite to get stuff done in premiere 6 – it was a bit of a revelation. just the feel of it as were. even with software sliders. I thought I’d quite like a wacom for it the next time.

god no – I didn’t come up with the list – I pasted the fcpx.tv list from the link I gave bud.

I’m nowhere near qualified to breakout a checklist. as a half assed mograph-ish editor the only bit there I ever paid proper attention to was keyframes, those I found highly problematic.

no for sure, its probably likely to be ridiculous in operation. I’m not sure 16 streams of 4k with effects was first on many software lists. but it is incredible.

it feels like a lot of crazy at an extremely competitive price point. quarter million inferno box from x number of years ago like.

i was just extremely curious to see them tackle other stuff the way they tackled multi-cam. I’m now a little curious about the development resources available, given that release took a year?

not to point out the obvious – but premiere really is going like a cat outrunning a bushfire. realistically, apple would want to show build out ambition pretty soon for X – the fact that they aren’t even looking for money anymore is great on one level, but feels kind of weird on a “pro” customer level.

they really don’t owe me anything at the current price point. when do we pay for X again?
do we pay for X again? is it at .2 in 2016? how do apple now view ongoing profit (granted miniscule) relative to their timely responsiveness to existing customers needs? when apple isn’t bothered asking for any more money?

if that whole vendor performance lever is gone on a customer level, then, mmm er…

the thing is I was really and truly looking forward to seeing what apple mojo could do with a long run up.

Its kind of hard to think that this is what anyone had in mind.

[Steve Connor] “same time tomorrow everyone?
“

pub returned from craft beers in camberwell – apparently?

what are apple doing to people? putting tenterhooks to shame here.
given twitter whispers? – you’d nearly suspect absolutely no basic alteration to core methodology. just a massive enhancement for groups, and some whizz bang marker auto awareness. which does sound like them.

I say they broadly stand over the timeline – and build out every answer to its facility operation. and throw in functionality glitter dust as a come hither to the imovie upscalers. which they would have to do if they are operating an editing academy from imovie. which they kind of are.

still – don’t the yanks need to bill the hardware soon?

there should at least be a last minute betting pool on features- say audio tracks. or the role equivalent.

house bets type thing. I say keyframing moves from where it was. I don’t think its a timeline clip tied GUI architecture anymore.

I bet ten quid exposing keyframe timing is no longer tied to the clip in timeline. there is another place set aside to rearrange keyframes in time ala FCP7.

i have ten quid down. are there, like, takers.

bets people.

i miss gil amelio and performas. now those were the days.

also – i think apple are delaying X just to drive this forum out of its mind.
