[Steve Connor] “Surely you simply change the connection point? Press CMD+Option then click on the new clip where you want it to connect to.”
Yes, unless a clip starts or ends before/after the clip you’d like it to connect to, not uncommon in my world. the technique in my reply above solves that…

[Lance Bachelder] “For instance some sync audio attaching to slug instead of a clip and having move it out of sync to break it away from the slug. Or deleting a clip and not realizing some sound fx and a 3 minute music track were attached to the 36 frame piece of nothing.”
That sort of thing used to drive me batsh*t as well, until I figured out this little “pan handling” trick…
[Lance Bachelder] “I actually start color timing the entire show in FXPX at 4K rez tomorrow!”
Cool! 🙂
[Lance Bachelder] “Still, I’m looking forward to testing out Resolve 12”
It’s much better than 11. Is it ready to be the “main axe”, so to speak… I dunno. I’m not sure that’s the intent, but who knows…

Coincidentally, I wrote a little post a while ago that seems https://fcpxpert.net/2015/06/22/n-l-evangelism/“>appropriate to link here.

[Bret Williams] “But often I’ll have 5 related videos (projects) in the job (library). Each of those might have 5-10 versions as snapshots”
Again, same here, more projects and snapshots actually…
[Bret Williams] “usually a good bit of color correction (every shot) titles, motion templates and compounds with templates and titles/generators.”
There’s the difference, I don’t do much, if any correction, and while I do use lots of compounds, I don’t use many templates, and my titles are usually built separately and then imported as movies (so more that 1 editor can access ’em) I’d suspect the titles actually, especially if they’re built in comps.
[Bret Williams] “Not sure how anyone could be using FCP7 anymore though.”
Yeah, I occasionally have to pop into it and, much as I love it, it’s really hard to work in now. I’d pick Pr over 7 if it was my only choice, but there are some close to show-stopping audio issues in 2015 that make that option kinda painful too. R12 is much better than 11, but has it’s own quirks too. Oh well….

[Bret Williams] “Late 2012 iMac 27” i7 3.4ghz, completely maxed with 2gig GPU, 32gigs ram, Pegasus raid, BMD Monitoring, 1TB fusion. Latest OS and FCP. “
Same exact setup here. I actually see a similar RAM gobbling issue with Pr 2015, but it’s the cached files that run away on that, and it doesn’t appear to affect performance. As I said, it’s really not bad with X either, so maybe it is the Motion stuff, or project length?

[Lance Bachelder] “Why any FCPX fanboy such you and Charlie would feel so threatened is just silly.”
All due respect Lance, leave me outta this. My “cancel the the thread” comment wasn’t because I feel threatened.

[Bret Williams] “But Xs timeline performance is pretty abysmal lately. Everything is always leggy. Maybe I have too many motion templates. But if my favorite part of X makes it laggy then what’s the point?”
What hardware? Other than the occasional restart if it’s chewing up RAM (and that happens way less these days) It’s been quite good for me lately. Which is obviously unhelpful to you. 🙂

Oh FFS, can I kill this thread now? Sorry I brought it up.

[David Mathis] “Admit it, you are starting to like tracks! ;-)”
lol… Actually, if anything, I am liking them less. I’d tell you about the horrorshow I’ve been having with Pr lately, but I’ll defer to the lessons my mom taught me, and just not say anything. 😉

[Steve Connor] “Did that small bird also tell you whether it was actually useable for editing in this version?”
The bird…oh screw it, it’s me, and BMD has said it’s OK to talk about it now. lol.
It is useable. As everyone knows, there were some, uh.. performance issues with 11 that made it pretty useless as an NLE, and these have been addressed. My main focus has been messing with the fcpxml integration, and seeing how it works for short form cuts/revisions. it’s good now, still “young”, but you can actually work in it.
I can’t speak to the color page and other improvements, but there have been quite a few things improved there as well. There should be a public beta soon, and everyone can see for themselves. 🙂
Depending on what they do with Fusion, I could totally see finishing houses adopting it as an all-in-one solution. As an FCP X user, I think that would be a very nice development, as the 2 play very well together. 🙂
Compared to X, well… FCP X is in a league of it’s own. There’s nothing in Resolve, or anything else I’ve used, that changes that. Compared to other NLE’s, Resolve is close to nipping at their heels. I’ll be interested to hear what others think.
