Aindreas is good, but this is the Shecky Greene of editing… 🙂

[Walter Soyka] “Fair. I should probably pick on the pace of Motion development instead!
“

I’m with you there… It’s kinda just a giant FCP X Plugin at this point. It’s a great plugin though. 🙂

[Walter Soyka] “Wouldn’t it be nice to see the same kind of continuous, iterative development and improvement with FCPX?”

Apple are continuously, iteratively developing FCP X. What they don’t do is pre-announce upcoming features or really talk about it at all, for better or worse. They’re playing a different game than Adobe/Avid. They’re not trying to gain market share, or crush the competition. They don’t appear on Avid, Adobe, BMD etc. forums subtly touting the perceived features and benefits of X vs whatever. I mean, many people who prefer the competition still buy Macs right? 😉

I think they’re trying to make a great, game-changing NLE. The debate is really whether they’re doing it quickly enough, or succeeding at all. In any case, what they’re doing is certainly is having an effect on the design and features of other NLE’s.

[David Mathis] “Now, should I subscribe or go with Color Finale as an alternative? Too many darn choices I say!”

Color Finale is great. And the Color Box® will probably get better too…

[Jeremy Garchow] “There’s a whole lot of automation that’s being built in to Pr, and if FCPX had this automation, people would scoff, but since it’s developed elsewhere, it’s “innovative”.

Whatevs. “

Yep… I’m not bashing Pr, these are nice new updates. But… if Apple announced a feature in X that let you easily make cartoon characters speak, the howls of derision would be deafening. I can virtually guarantee that if the next version of FCP X includes anything that lets you do something easily that was previously very complicated it will be mocked by many of the same people fawning over these updates.

I like the look of the Color panel in Pr… very similar to Color Finale in X which is awesome.

[Chris Lee] ” but it always ends up collapsed into one single track.”

You should see this in the Export window, where you assign roles to separate channels..

[Noam Osband] “By the end of my time in FCP7, i could zip around easily. This is my first time switching editing systems.”

I use, on a daily basis, FCP X, Premiere, and FCP 7. I can zip around easily in all of them. but it sometimes takes a minute after CMD Tabbing from one to the other to remember where the heck I am. 🙂

You’ll get it, but as Bill says, running through some training is a very good idea. 😉

[Noah Kadner] “Tons of uses for Roles but identifying portions within a clip is not one of them- favoriting and rejecting does that”

Also, identifying portions within clips is pretty much exactly what keywords are for…

[Mark Suszko] “Anybody have a theory or similar experience?”

I’ve had some odd, random issues with “phantom” text as well. If you haven’t, you should send feedback… just pasting your detailed post would be good. Links to screenshots etc can help. The more people that report the better… 🙂
