[Daniel Hegarty] “I should also say that at the moment we’re thinking that in the 3rd year those who elect for editing as their specialisation will get training on whichever 2 NLEs are not taught in years 1 & 2.”
Sounds like a solid plan to me. Expose them to multiple NLE platforms and teach the fundamentals upon which all NLEs are based. They’re students – they pick this stuff up quickly. I initially learned editing on a Media 100 system. I’ve never had much of a problem jumping to new platforms as the industry evolves. There are so many accessible resources for learning different NLEs now on your own – teach all the stuff they can’t get out of those.

[Oliver Peters] “As far as PPro and editing, for me there are a few issues that are still problematic.
1. You cannot open multiple projects at the same time.
2. You cannot modify audio channel configurations after the clip has been edited to the timeline. The source clips may be changed and then edited again to the timeline.
3. If you import a sequence from another project (like two editors working on the same project with mirrored media files), the import include a folder of master clips that correspond to the sequence. These are essentially duplicate master clips, but they cannot be deleted.”
I have the exact same gripes. #2 is the hardest to adjust to. Will submit a feature request, fwiw.

Slowly becoming devoted to PrP6. Works very nicely with the Magic Bullet suite and I find it handles everything I throw at it with good speed and stability. The flexibility of easily passing projects back and forth with FCP7 is also a big plus for me over Symphony6. It’s also been rock solid with my LHi (monitoring at least). Audio scrubbing could be improved.

Agreed. Without that tactile experience, I don’t really see the point. Possibly as an add on to one’s existing workflow? Not sure it would really make anything more efficient though.

perhaps people should have used his first name more often then…

Agreed. My Kona LHi is very responsive with MC6. No experience with BMD.

Yup – here’s what’s written in the receipt for my Creative Cloud preorder:

I honestly don’t understand all the speculative hand-wringing or the reaction that this software has been dumbed-down for the “masses” (people are even complaining that FCPX doesn’t cost enough).
First, we don’t know nearly enough details to do anything more than waste time on being potentially concerned about unknowns. Why would one assume that because something is simply not mentioned in the presentation that it won’t be in the program? Just wait to find out. Once you know something for a fact, then complain and adjust accordingly. Nearly every advancement that was mentioned seemed quite positive to me.
And how is rewriting the software to become a 64-bit program with background rendering and the ability to use more cores and more memory a sign that FCP is being dumbed-down for an iPhone? I can barely get my iPhone to open the map application. But my MacPro is being underutilized and now, apparently, it won’t be. Some of these reactions are stunning to me.
