[Shane Ross] “Seems to me this is another shining example of how this isn’t a tool meant for professionals.”

You’re kidding, right?. It means that FCP is like any other app that can use symbols in in text input leaving the decision whether or not to use them to the user.

lol True. 🙂

[Andreas Kiel] “It might be not that easy as described.”

Most likely correct, just a shot in the dark on my part. BBEdit can be quite dangerous in my hands. 😉

Duplicate the XML file… open the copy, ideally BBEdit or Text Wrangler, but TexEdit will work. Search for the bad results “filter-video filter-audio spine” and delete the line(s) they’re in. Save it and try to import again. you’ll lose whatever they were, but it may open…

[Paul Jones] “Sadly mine is still the same even after all the updates”

Same here. I’d be happy to blame the OS, Nvidia, or other apps etc, but this only happens when I run Pr. If it’s running on it’s own, it may take some time to appear, with other video apps running it happens fairly quickly. It probably is a CUDA thing, or dual monitors, or something, but only Pr sets it off…

[Aindreas Gallagher] “then user generated and commercial video needs its own light, clean, software based expression on iOS and OSX. like say ‘Movies’ or something. to go with ‘Photos’ and ‘Music’.”

You’re completely ignoring Garage Band/Logic X. They are content creation apps. iMovie and FCP X are also content creation apps. iTunes is not, and Photos isn’t out yet, so who knows what it will be. I think it could be as you describe *and* a content creation app, but who knows.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “what’s the problem? don’t be so persnickety. Richard. That sentence reads absolutely fine. just leave that alone.”

lol… I see what you did there… But, well, they are. They have a different feature set enabled, and a different UI, and they probably have a different dev cycle. But the building blocks are the same. But X isn’t iMovie Pro, iMovie is FCP X Lite. 😉

[Richard Herd] “Easier said: the things you can do in one app and the things you can do in another app are different make them not-the-same.”

Well, sure. All I’m saying is that, if you poke around inside the FCP X and iMovie app packages, you’ll see that, inside, they are made of the same bits. Things that are enabled in iMovie aren’t enabled in X and vice versa…

[Aindreas Gallagher] “hen it could be imovie that gets radically simplified into a clean media catalog with some attached editing functions tied into your cloud/local based video archive?

Spitballing like – just thought tacking the demise of imminent demise of FCPX onto it would be worth it for cat pigeon reasons…”

You’re looking at it the wrong way. iMove and FCP X are already the same app. IF they redo iMovie iOS so that content created in it can be opened in iMovie, which can then be opened in FCP X… It already works for Garage Band. iOS GB to Mac OS GB to Logic X compatibility…

[Richard Herd] “What do you mean by “same app.””

It is the exact same code base. iMovie has, obviously, a different UI bolted on, and a different feature set enabled/disabled as you discovered. They are the same app though.
