How hard is it to edit with a low-res preview in FCP X and then replace with the original media? Any automated workflow for that? That, and having it on a central server would be the critical components for me to move to cataloging with KeyFlow. I’m not sure how robust the ingesting from camera cards is. That would be important also.

Although I use dissolve sparingly, I’m adding this to my list of must have plug-ins:
Super Dissolve, Color Finale, Film Convert, Dashwood Editor Essentials (for the White Balance plugin), Neat Video, CineFlare Detailer
Now maybe Simon could work on a Pan and Zoom plug-in and actually do it right!

[Tim Wilson] “I would have hoped that at this point in the evolution of X, and of this forum, that we could agree that a feature request by a mostly-happy, well-informed, professional customer could be understood as NOT an attack. “
Of course Simon’s original post was a bit sardonic. So I’m not sure I’m that sympathetic. But, yes, generally I agree.

[Oliver Peters] “I would suggest however, that X is not as suited to working this way than other NLEs.”
Stringing out is the way many of us used to work in legacy. I always sort of used it as a way to deal with an editing program that didn’t really operate the way I wanted it to. What I wanted was a horizontal map of video clips. The filmstrip view in FCP X is basically what I always wanted. And combined with keywording it really eliminates the need to string out. And actually works much faster and better than stringing out IMHO.

Awesome. Thanks!
It didn’t really work inside the template as it messed up my “Smooth Move” rig setup. It just got stuck at the begin setting and didn’t move. I think it probably has something to do with the “Loop” marker.
But I did have success using it as an Adjustment layer in FCP X. That will do for now.
Why Motion scales the time of the motion blur doesn’t make a bit of sense though.

[Oliver Peters] ” I see a lot of wonderful work being done in Motion from time to time, as well as to create FCPX templates. But is anyone seriously using it for motion graphics?”
I dabble in Motion to make Templates. But for heavy FX work I use After Effects. The reason is simply I know AE well and I’d need more time in Motion to get to the same level. And time is not something I have a lot of these days. The other thing is that without round tripping, I’m not sure what the great advantage is of using Motion over AE. The only thing I can think is that it would make me better at making Templates, which is not a direct benefit.
I also get the sense that if I start using Motion in the same way as I use AE, I will run into roadblocks. “What do you mean Motion can’t do this or that.” or “Boy, I wish I had Optical Flares”.
Bottom-line. If Motion had round-tripping and more robust development, I could easily see it becoming my main VFX software. But until then probably not.

Is it possible you have the “audio only” icon selected in the Angle Viewer? This would cut only the audio and not the video. Make sure you select the “video only” icon (a filmstrip).

I’m getting better results with AudioDenoise than IZotope RX 4. It’s less artifacty and you can push it further.

[Robin S. Kurz] “… says it all. Spot on. Mainly because it reflects pretty much exactly what I and 99% of the people I know that actually LEARNED X have said many times over.”
Sure seems obvious to me. I wonder if there is a division amongst editors that have to dig through a lot of material versus those that don’t.
