Absolutely agree with Oliver…I do documentary and news work and you make the connections and solve the puzzle by logging and transcribing everything. The act of doing that helps me write the piece as a producer director editor

Sound bite doesn’t need a transcript but without one how do you know the phrase or words to ask it to find
-
We use the Text to Speech all the time – if someone speaks clear standard English it does a fairly good job – accented…not as good. The Boris Soundbite is great if you’ve already transcribed something and need to find it fast as it’s a phrase find program – it looks for sound patterns and matches them..but doesn’t actually transcribe anything.

makes me smile at the defensiveness when anyone dares question FCP X….

Robin,
I understand that what we do doesn’t work for you…but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for scores of other people…as for X accepting more codecs….I don’t think there is one that Premiere doesn’t accept that X does. Again glad its working for you….but a great number of people have a tough time molding themselves to the software rather than having the flexibility they like and are used to.

No doubt that Premiere Pro CC 2014 is the closest too and easiest to transition from FPC 7……it’s fast…takes virtually any codec and just plays and edits it without transcoding (i think FCP X does that too)
Really wanted to love FCP X but i come from an audio mixing world where we used the recording keyframe audio mixing in FCP 7 for nice subtle mixes..no rubber banding, range selecting or pen tools.
This doesn’t exist in FCP X without exporting the mix and setting roles which is too many extra steps for our work flow.
If X gave us tracks…without having to dig into audio nests and a mixer…they’d win a convert…
in the meantime – loving Premiere Pro – it really is FCP 7 on steroids

not that difficult to transfer the project to FCP 7 or Premiere pro – read this…also once you get it into FCP or Premiere – there are excellent tools to transfer back and forth to AVID as well (AUTOMATIC DUCK – now free)

Can’t speak much for FCP X (gave up on it a while ago….Audio tracks fades a real time mixers are just too critical to our work to do without….seriously I’ve tried it it the FCP X way and it’s maddening with all the range selecting and pen tool tweaking for critical mixing –
I can tell you that Premiere Pro CC is the tool for anyone adept at FCP 7 and looking for an easy, faster transition.
We just finished a three day 15 minute a night trade show nightly news program — 4 people on laptops creating a show from scratch – Graphics, animation supers music and complex sound mixes color correction – turned around each day in less than 8 hours…
blistering fast, responsive — and best of all throw any codec – ANY codec in the timeline and edit – no transcoding – period…output to web DVD and MPEG playback all at once through ADOBE media encoder quickly – done in time for a great dinner for the team
I say this being a long time FCP user (since version 1) and being heartbroken over the first Tinkertoy release….yes I know it’s gotten better – yes we’ve used it for multicam edits (very nice – although know that we know Premiere’s multicam – also nice)
as for Bill Davis’s “what would you give up for the list of missing items?” Why do you need to give anything up? it’s like asking a carpenter — “you want a screw driver?…hand me back your hammer” Adobe’s winning over editors who make a living with the tool because it’s listening to its customes and adding what they request.

I’ve been on Premiere Pro since FCP 7”s EOL…..it gets better and more FCP7 like with each new upgrade…and with the one expected soon – will be even better (trans code and consolidate…something FCP 7 had for years will now be available in Premiere Pro CC.)
If you loved FCP 7….you will feel right at home in PP – in fact it does many things so much better – any format frame size speed – just toss in timeline – it works…no trans code on input – edit right off a P2 card or XDCAM Disk if you’d like….it will read and play back the files….only render and trans code happens when you’re done with the edit.
Round trip to AE and Audition….auto changes show up from illustrator and photoshop (although i think they did in FCP 7 too)
There are some small, sometimes annoying differences. People get thrown by “where’s the drop shadow and crop?….Color Correction is WAY different…take the time to learn that many built into the viewer Motion tab tools are now filters….and once you get used to the slider bars in Color Correction, you will love them.
No need to re-create FCP 7 – Adobe’s already done it.
