Seriously though I’ve been using PPro since 1.5 and it’s still my NLE of choice. I’ve used FCP X on and off for nearly a year now and I just find it too frustrating. I can’t get past that magnetic timeline. Yes, yes I know use the position tool. yada yada yada. Too annoying.
Every time I re open PPro I feel like I’ve come home and this is where I belong. And over the last 8 years it’s just got better and better but I am very grateful to Apple for FCP X as I believe that has made people sit up and take notice of it, (for some actually opening it for the first time) and then realising, “hey, you know this ain’t half bad”. And of course then the migration of many from FCP 7 has only helped the cause.
6) The RT audio mixing really needs to stay with the clips and not the tracks.

What would be great would be to have the old discreet edit* system of timeline modes. i.e. being able to switch your timeline between insert and overwrite. Thus getting double duty for keyboard commands. Their effect would depend on the timeline mode you were in. Lovely. I used to love that flexibility.
Editing a base? Beautiful. Whack your timeline in insert mode and away you go. Non destructive and simple. Overlaying a story bed or cutting to a time limit? Switch to overwrite and away you go.
Now I understand that we have keyboard functions that do all these things as a one by one operation and so some might say it’s a bit superfluous and hey, they may be right. But it would sure as hell be a great option to have.

Not that I really ever agree with him much but I thought he was a bit rough on Bill.

Isn’t skeuomorphic design one of the major reasons for Apple’s great success? The fact that certain things just look familiar to consumers breaks down alot of technology cross over barriers don’t you think?
I can understand that as professional video makers we might think it’s all a bit naff but for the general public it’s somewhat comforting. Even having iPad’s simulate page turning. Doesn’t that all add to the user experience?

[alban egger] “I know the guys who do this for channel 4. They have 50 Avids in their house and the paralympic programmes were shoot over the span of the last 4,5 years. Nice concept, nice budget, nice work.”
Wow! More power to them. I guess the final product validates all that.
Great stuff.

[Bill Davis] “Wait, wait, WAIT…
Everybody stop.
I need some time to go find a clever “cut and paste” graphic here so I can play.
Obviously simply making arguments based on one’s own thinking – writing them in the open for everyone to read, judge and argue against – is inadequate.
Silly for so many of us not to understand that what we’ve really needed here is a GUIDE so that we dimwits can become “educated” about how to think and reason.
And how foolish of me as an individual to have expected that the regular posters here (on both sides of the issues) were already smart enough to do that for themselves.
Seriously, if you don’t like what someone posts here – the standard in this forum has always been to stand up in your own words and tell us WHY you’re right and they (or we) are wrong.
Cut and paste logic instruction? Really? Well, perhaps this stuff is brand new to you, so you figure it’s also new to everyone else?
Fine. Here’s an additional exercise that will help you even more! Go back and find comments people here have made that you think FIT your cut and paste poster thinking – and tell us why.
Yeah, I know.
That’s takes effort and possibly even some original thinking – which this forum has benefited from on both sides.
Unfortunately, that’s way harder than pasting a graphic.
My 2 cents.”
Dear Bill,
Do take your 2 cents and go out and buy yourself a sense of humour with it.
Please.

Gotcha.
Although our LHi card has always come up as an option in the sound system preferences on our Mac Pros but did not on the Z820. I guess I just assumed it wasn’t going to be any different.
I assumed wrong. Headphones output it shall be.

So are you getting system audio through your Kona 3 no problem?
BTW I really enjoyed your dance vid. Very nicely put together.

Hi Tom,
We put our LHi in the Z820 and it works fine in Premiere BUT nowhere else. i.e. None of your system sounds play through it.
Not sure if this is the same issue with the Kona 3?
Sorry.
