[Oliver Peters] “As you can see in this image. Lumetri’s hue offset wheels and lift/gamma/gain adjustments are all there together. In FCPX, you’d have to switch between tabs.”
I know your response is for Bill but having said that one might be a tad bit more efficient and even have a tad bit more options but I would not say one is better than the other. I think it is more personal choice and worth mentioning. I do think the color board is easy to use and does have a decent amount of control. I am not going to bad mouth the color board but I wouldn’t mind FCPX having something like the Lumetri color panel of Premiere Pro. As a FCPX user I don’t want to have buy $400.00 worth of plugins. I want Apple to add more features to the FCPX program. The link below might be useful to some of you.

Do you remember how much you Inspire 1 costs with the cameras?

[Gabe Strong] “I bought a 3DR Solo awhile ago. I then studied for and got my 107 license.
I use the drone in commercial projects.”Interesting. The 3DR seems like a nice drone for the price.

[Tero Ahlfors] “Does this have anything to do with the FCP X debate?”
Kind of but not so much as a debate. I was curious if anyone in these forums used drones. I was wondering what drones were being used more so than the software but all comments are welcomed by me.

[Paul Golden] “Considering that Premiere is a near clone of FCP7 (or maybe FCP8), I think we’ve got enough similar alternatives to get our work done if we feel inclined to move on to the next operating system.”
Funny : )
Why not just say Key Grip/FCP was a clone of Avid? Why give Apple credit?

[Scott Witthaus] ” So when an elegant design like X comes along, the “complex crowd” gets in an uproar: “It can’t be that simple. Just look at that interface! Why, even a high schooler can do our jobs now…”. Yup, they can. So be better.”
I don’t consider the FCPX interface to be all that great. In fact the GUI is one of the worst I have ever used. Having said that high school students can also use Premiere Pro CC. You can see high school student use FCPX and Premiere Pro both to make YouTube videos.
[Scott Witthaus] “That’s why my theory is that I want the most elegant tool (FCPX for me) that does the work I do without the technology or design getting in the way.”
FCPX works but like any NLE it could be better. Do you think FCPX has any short comings?

[Brian Seegmiller] “I would have to see your video to judge for myself if your method does in fact make it less difficult. Remember same layout of his timeline.”
It will not have to be identical to show that Jesús Perez-Miranda doesn’t know how to use Premiere Pro efficiently. Having said that I will try to get it done soon.

[Bill Davis] “If they’d given me the option of color wheels from day one – I, like many, would have just set THAT as my default and NEVER really learned the color board.”
What would be wrong with that?The Color Board isn’t better. It is a tad bit different.
[Bill Davis] “Instead, I was forced to learn something new. Something that for the type of correction I need to do most often – turns out to be significantly faster. I don’t have to juggle three separate wheels for every correction.”
You wouldn’t use three separate wheels for every correction in Premiere Pro either. Sometime one drop of the white balance filter does the trick. Having said that I don’t see how the Color Board is faster considering you may have to invest in plugins. Even without plugins I don’t see how the color board is faster. Could you please demonstrate how it is faster?
[Bill Davis] “Maybe sometimes, prioritizing innovation over conditioned comfort is a useful idea?
I get that some editors won’t see it as innovation, just “wrong.” but that’s MAYBE the trap. Is it actually “wrong” or just “unfamiliar?””
The color board is a tad bit different but not innovative. Having said that do you consider the Lumetri panel of Premiere Pro innovative?

[James Sullivan] “FCPX is a freaking nightmare of mousing and switching between tabs. Now that you can have the inspector run the whole length of the screen they need to fix everything about how color correction happens. And No the touch bar is not the answer. (Please work with Tangent and kick BM where it hurts.)”
I agree. The FCPX GUI needs a serious overhaul.

[Scott Witthaus] “Interesting, because Adobe people have told me directly last fall (and again to a colleague attending SXSW) that focus and consistency was a known issue and they are working to be better at it. Tough to do with 15+ software packages in CC.”
And how many FCPX users use those 15+ software titles? Adobe has always been focused on offering a full multimedia solution for the web, print, the internet as well as audio and video. I like that aspect of Adobe.
What is Adobe’s Core market? Is it Illustrator, Indesign After Effects or Audition? Who knows and who cares as long as the products work?
What is Apple’s Core market? Is it the iPad, iTunes, the iPhone or maybe the iMac? Let me know which one is the core market. I didn’t even list FCPX or Motion for a reason.
If Apple has several offerings it is totally cool but if Adobe or BMD has several offerings it is not cool?
