how many are “I’m buying it because it’s the successor to FCP 7” the day it came out (me) and then “What the heck is this?” to “it’s on my hard drive but i rarely if ever use it?”

I’ve done a number of projects with a “mish mash” of formats on Premiere Pro CC…not yet with 2014….and while it’s very good, it is not foolproof….some oddball formats with various filters can gum up the works, but that may be more a function of the 3rd party filter than Premiere Pro…

the upside – little or no rendering for smooth edit playback….you worry about the final format when you are finished.

All in all – the time saved in trans-coding on ingest in Premiere Pro and far outweighs any issues at the other end. (if needed with a troublesome clip at the end – just trans-code that clip and move on

what do you do with roles when you set one as “natural sound” and suddenly there’s a usable soundbite on your natural sound role – it’s no longer in the right place and a few more steps.

Also…this is unrelated but i had to do it the other day….

needed to dissolve on a graphic on a “secondary” FCPX track….couldn’t get it to work…know there’s a trick..but why do we need a trick?

once again…the “bargain” that is FCP X is not a bargain when it comes to audio mixing…

“pony up another 199” for logic or more for another audio mixing environment

spend time creating roles…when virtually every other NLE doesn’t make you take these extra steps for a simple mix

as for loudness….Adobe’s Audition has an excellent broadcast compliant loudness meter and a simple way to monitor and control this.

Having worked in news for decades, it’s a safe bet they chose FCP X for a number or reasons.

1 – quick and easy to learn for non-editors
2 – no yearly licensing and server maintenance fees
3 – straightforward nature of news – cut/cut and simple dissolves
4 – buy once – set for a while

and there is little or no time to log or add meta data tags in run and gun news. it’s dump the material on the drive, edit – upload or feed – on to the next event

in fact FCP X is overkill for most daily news operations – all the available effects will be lost on run and gun editors….

when NLE’s first appeared in news rooms, you saw the “Dissolve” happy pieces hit the air – wide to tight shot…lets dissolve! Why not, we can do it now…

FCP X or any straightforward editor is perfect for quick turn around news….and so is any other NLE for editors who take time to learn them.
