I don’t really know a lot of people using it. But if not, who are all these companies dedicated to Motion/FCP X selling to? Ripple, MotionVFX, Pixel Film Studios, and countless others seem to be doing pretty well for themselves.

As an editor that’s been doing his own AE work for 20 years, I switched when Adobe started being a …
For my work, mostly communications, it’s easily more capable than AE, especially for creating X templates and plugs. But I still use AE when I have to. I try to use my CS5 version first. When Adobe recently had a sale on subscriptions I got an AE only subscription. But I STILL use CS5 if I can. I like to open my projects down the road without shelling out cash.

Sure you didn’t just download the 30 day trial? Is it still on his computer and running?

What does the little browser pull down say? All clips?

Well, it makes multiple baked clips. Which I thought was worth sharing as it might have fit his dilemma. Did you watch the video? Pretty cool to have it output multiple video clips based on roles. So you can export your video multiple times, each only showing the footage containing that role(s). If you were doing roles like many do, broll, gfx, background, titles, video, etc. then you could easily reconstruct a timeline without needing all the original media. Possibly. Video isn’t as simple as audio in that regard but I may add this to my final outputs of a project. Outputting a multichannel master instead of Stereo has also been added. All cool stuff I’m not sure any other NLE can do.

Thats anything but basic!

[David Mathis] “Linear only is not an option.”
Certainly the key framing isn’t the best. Sucked in 7 too, but the idea was that if you wanted detailed key framing you round tripped the shot to motion. Since we can’t do that in X you’d think perhaps they give it some keyframe love. At least in X we can move multiple keyframes at once and copy and paste them with some sort of intelligence. The key framing in X is where FCP 2.0 should have been but never advanced past it’s original crappy inception. But a couple handy tricks… Bezier certainly exists. Right click on the keyframe in the viewer and choose smooth. Then you can also adjust the curve. AND it’s this little curve handle that will also sorta control ease in/out. Jeremy shared this one. Set to smooth, and when the curve handles appear, move them back toward the keyframe as far as you can. If it’s a straight move you can sometimes hold shift while you move it so that it stays in line with the path and doesn’t create an unwanted curve.
I have absolutely no idea why this creates a pseudo ease in or out. It’s probably a bug and will be accidentally removed at some point.

How does Primary connected have anything to do with decomposing in place or layered PSDs? They could certainly have an Avid like decompose in place solution. And my PSDs come in layered. Does Premiere decompose in place? After Effects? Resolve? FCP 7? In a way Motion does. I’d love to see that sort of thing in X.

Are you showing all clips and have nothing in the search field?

I’m pretty sure any feature requests that make it into a version of FCP X are a purely coincidental occurrence.
