[Herb Sevush] “Hopefully Apple’s NDA only meetings at NAB revealed answer’s to all my problems that I am simply to lowly to be allowed to know.”

Lowly? All you had to do was be there. The only requirement was being awake at 9am to get in line. In Vegas, i guess that’s a tough one actually…

[Oliver Peters] “Huh? Avid and Avid do license ProRes from Apple. That’s how they can write ProRes media on the Macs.
“

I stand corrected… I guess I don’t understand the issue, assuming the codecs are installed. ProRes won’t play without the player?

Excellent, and only slightly convoluted. 🙂

[David Roth Weiss] “this a classic case of showing vaporware at NAB that has no immediate application.”

Vaporware? at NAB?? Impossible. 😉

[Andrew Kimery] “Probably because of Apple’s naming convention choice, where QuickTime can refer to the media player, the underlying media architecture and/or the actual media, can easily lead to confusion. ;)”

Agreed…

[Andrew Kimery] “peaking of that, if the problem is only the QT Player then why aren’t Adobe et al. just saying uninstall the player but leave the codecs?”

I’ve heard varying explanations as well, My guess is that Avid/Adobe don’t want to license ProRes, as there are a number of other players on the PC that do and, from what i understand, aren’t affected by this.

You want to hear screaming? Despite literally years of notice, wait till QTKit on the Mac gets shut off. Not too far away I’d guess.

[Jeremy Garchow] “It’s not without it’s quirks, but it is much better.”

Instructions please. You know, for posterity. 🙂

[Oliver Peters] “So far, the theoretical vulnerability affects the player only, so you could have QT components installed, but not QT Player. There are plenty of alternatives to the player.”

That’s the important point. For some reason, not many people are interested in pointing that out. Not scary enough I guess. 😉

[Walter Soyka] “Metadata driving workflow is so smart. This is stuff that humans should never have to manage manually.”

Agreed, and in X, I hardly ever have to do the stuff manually. Maybe add a note to a submitted version or something, but it the app pretty much does it all for me.

Other thing about X is that I can concentrate on the edit, no tabbing through windows, moving to other apps to do VFX etc etc. Set up X the right way, and bolt on the additions you require, and you can pretty much just do everything from the timeline. You can of course do many things in other NLE timelines too, but it’s not the same at all.

[Andrew Kimery] “How is this similar/dissimilar from Adobe’s Search Bin?”

Search Bins are OK, but are limited, and sometimes return unexpected results. I have my X libraries set up to automatically sort all my different versions of each spot. Snapshots, WIPS, Versions submitted to client, finished versions etc all get auto-sorted to proper collections. I basically never have to manually move anything. It’s really cool. Tried to match it in Pr Projects and bits and pieces worked, but not nearly the same. Still need to hit the browser a lot. Also there’s no such thing as a snapshot, and no way to duplicate a sequence while in the timeline.

Also this…

For pre 10.1 stuff, you should have 2 folders in the Folder you point X to for updating. A projects folder, and an events folder. Detail here, among other places…
