[Tim Wilson] “Do I just need a blankie and a nap? Well, yes, but I’d love to get your impressions of this….thing. What the heck is happening?”
Simple. Steve Jobs is not alive anymore.

I agree. Glad to hear others aren’t happy with this. It would seem to be such a basic thing to fix.

Also Steve there are quite a few actions within PPro that don’t have a default keyboard shortcut attached to them. If you’re using the FCP7 layout then Trim & Ripple Trim next and previous edits to playhead would be the first ones I’d map to shortcuts.
Cheers.

[Bill Davis] “Believe that I’m honest and that I’m reporting actual personal experience. Or believe that I’m so besotted with X that I have lost track of how to use a calendar, clock, or read the start and stop timestamps on my FCP X projects. “
I choose the latter. . .
. . . just kidding.
Right.

Thanks Bill.
It moved me.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “I don’t think apple knew what they were doing with X. I think they invoked a number of aspirational database operations as a parlour game inside an incredibly powerful company and they can’t shake it off. FCPX is never going to be real. The update pace is lunacy. all anyone has seen in over two years is a library container and a ludicrous conceited 3D text engine. Everyone is standing around expecting the second coming.
the fact that apple devoted their engineering efforts over a cycle to a 3D text engine means the whole thing is a joke in a sense. The programme is lunacy. There will never be bussing, programmable roles, or any of that – apple are doing anything on their whim in an afternoon. It’s a ridiculous piece of software.
they will try to keep legitimacy as far as they can with a piece of software that is built to die over the next three years. They don’t view their role as continuously tending a professional’s needs. What they try to do is make an initial statement, round it out with multi-cam, and go do other things. Like build cars.
FCPX is their last ever half assed attempt at pro-software. They couldn’t update it regularly if they tried. No one anywhere thinks FCPX is real.

Wow that’s amazing!
Now if X could only smooth scroll its timeline…

I concur with Herb re the sync settings.
I had to manually copy all my presets and keyboard settings over in Finder.
Everything else seems ok so far though…

[David Roth Weiss] “If only there were a gym a person could go to so they could develop a sense of humor.”
I don’t post much here these days (am always reading though) but this was an exception.
Very funny David.
Laconic and witty.
