[Shawn Miller] “Sorry, that was badly worded (really long week). Microsoft licenses Windows so it can run on a Mac”
gotcha… It’s all very convoluted, maybe there should be just one OS that runs everything! 😀

Huh?… 🙂

[Shawn Miller] “You’re right – now, I’m just going to boot into my OSX partition and fire up FCPX on my HP workstation… oh, wait. :-P”
You win, FCP X will not run in Windows without VMware or some such voodoo. I dunno if even that’ll work.
But, uh, weren’t we talking about file systems? 😉

[Shawn Miller] “Yeah… I think Apple is a bit less interested in cross-platform compatibility than Microsoft though. :-)”
Well, I think all the OS vendors are interested in cross-platform compatibility, at least to the extent where by providing it they enable you to stay mainly on their platform. 😉

[Walter Soyka] “If Apple does open-source or at least thoroughly document APFS, they get cross-platform compatibility without having to develop or support it themselves.”
[Apple]“Volume Format Specification
A Developer Preview of Apple File System is included in OS X 10.12. The APFS on-disk volume format is pre-release and subject to change. Apple plans to document and publish the APFS volume format when Apple File System is released in 2017.
Open Source
An open source implementation is not available at this time. Apple plans to document and publish the APFS volume format when Apple File System is released in 2017.”
Whatever we do though, we should not give them the benefit of the doubt. Because they’re mean. 🙂

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!”
You stole my reply! 🙂
“Hey, it’ll be at least as open as all the others, which is to say, not open. 🙂 Oh, except OpenZFS right? Lets all use that! I’ll call Apple, you guys call MS. What could possibly go wrong?

[Oliver Peters] “However, folks like BMD are using it for their SSDs on the HyperDecks.”
Of course, lot’s of vendors use it. But, if you read the article, it’s not exactly an open “standard”
[Oliver Peters] “Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! “
Yeah, I know, cats dogs etc….

[Oliver Peters] ” I don’t think anyone is aware of it.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT True. Also MS has a bunch of Patents on it.
On a related subject (why not just standardize on NTFS?) We have this… “Like NTFS and HFS+, exFAT is a proprietary file system. Microsoft asserts that exFAT is covered by US Patent 8583708,[6] awarded on November 27, 2013”
Maybe Apple will follow through and open up APfs?

[Oliver Peters] “They do allow the floating HUDs, but somehow that seems to be a loophole that developers have smartly capitalized on. I suspect Apple is not really wild about the aesthetics of that.”
It’s not a “loophole” Oliver, it’s a documented feature for FxPlug UI elements.
FCP X does not provide hooks in the host app to actual HUD’s (Motion does) but that could change.

[Andrew Kimery] “For being so developer dependent you’d Apple would loosen up the reigns more on X to 3rd parties even more flexibility. For example, I’m loving the Frame.io panel in PPro but to the best of my layman-level knowledge it’s not currently possible to build the same functionality inside of X.”
Frame.io works pretty seamlessly in X, And they’ve stated they’re working to integrate it even more. I have it, but don’t really use it, maybe someone who does will chime in..
[Andrew Kimery] “I did not realize that. What did Apple’s additions of 3D text bring to the table if a 3D environment was already available inside of X?”
Honestly I think just the ability to make real 3D titles which, despot the railing against the function, is super useful for what i do. The fact that you can “trick” it into using glyphs as objects to do al sorts of crazy things is a side effect. Honestly, it’s way more useful in Motion because you have much more control over cameras. lighting etc. mObject, which is the plugin I was referring to, has been around for quite a while, is much more full featured.————————————————————-
