[Brian Seegmiller] “So with that, I would like you to show us with the same layout of the clips of his timeline how to make it less difficult than it really is. Since I have to work in Premiere sometimes I really would like to see how you would do it.”
As if I don’t have anything better to do with my free time. Having said that if I do post the video will you be able to post on the FCPX website that Jesús Perez-Miranda made things much harder than they need to be? Will you also provide a link to my video at the FCPX website? If I educate you I could only hope you would want to educate others. Is it a deal? You could also leave a comment on the FCPX website that Jesús Perez-Miranda’s NLE VS Linear paradigm has some serious flaws. You don’t have to do that but it would be the right thing to do regardless if I make the response video or not.

[Oliver Peters] “The actual color processing that Apple is doing is pretty good. There are a few things within the color board that aren’t common in other color correctors. For instance, you can adjust saturation separately within the three ranges. That’s not unique, but not often found.”
I agree. The color board is not that bad. It is different but it does have a decent amount of control. I would not want Premiere Pro to have the GUI of FCPX but if Premiere Pro had a color board added I would not be upset about it. Having said that I would not want to have just the color board option like the FCPX users (I know I know buy plugins).

Oh please, Andy. Didn’t you state that Pr 17 was quite possibly the worst NLE ever? ????”
That was before I invested my hard earned money into FCPX ????

[Scott Witthaus] ” I have been playing with Resolve 14 and the experience confirms my thoughts. I would rather have BMD decide what Resolve is and focus, versus trying to be everything. Cluttered interface that, while better than R12, still “handles slowly” and crashes a lot (ok, it’s a public beta). I don’t need all that stuff. Perhaps you get what you pay for.”
The GUI of DR has a a lot of customization so I think that the term cluttered is subjective. I have not been on a Mac or used FCPX in about two years but after buying my Mac Mini and FCPX I see all the problems that plagued the GUI of FCPX are still there. FCPX still has a Fisher Price Like GUI after more than six years of being in the market. As far as clutter I will have a video that will shed some light on what I think people are referring to when they say cluttered. Having said that I would not want to change the GUI of Premiere Pro for the GUI of FCPX.

[Claude Lyneis] ” I have used the FCPX color bar, Color Finale and lately Chromatic. Like Chromatic best, Color Finale next and Apple’s thingy least. It is just not intuitive.”
As a Premiere Pro use I don’t think Apple’s Color Board is all that bad. It may not have been intuitive for those that have used the color wheels and curves but it does have a decent amount of CC once you learn how to use. Having said that I am not going to say it is better than what Premiere Pro has to offer.

An ADVC Fire Wire system might work best for capturing VHS tapes. The Intensity Shuttle might need a TBC (time base corrector) if the video quality and VHS deck are not up to par.

[Brian Seegmiller] “Would you like to show us how to use PP with more than one audio track and move things around like Jesús Perez-Miranda did and switch shots efficiently without messing up your timeline? I would like to see that demo.”
I am not saying the trackless system does not have merit. I am saying Jesús Perez-Miranda made Premiere Pro seem more difficult that it actually is. Also his paradigm of linear Vs non linear was flawed. Can you agree with my comments or do I need to actually make a video about it? For the record Jesús Perez-Miranda responded to me by saying he used his own definition of NLE VS linear. Unfortunately people don’t get to make up their own definitions.

It does the same thing n my system. It is a serious bug. Let Adobe know they need to fix it ASAP. You should be able to dock it anywhere.

[Herb Sevush] “I bought the Pallette because it has the ability to delete all effects in a selected range of clips – something that cannot be done in Ppro in any other way – no keyboard commands or mouse clicking can do this. As far as I can see this is the ony such instance of a “mssing” Ppro command being available with the Palette.”
I think it is great to see new hardware. I really think the Surface Dial adds a new way to interact with the OS and software programs. It can work with other Windows devices but not at the same level as it can with the Surface Studio.
