[Oliver Peters] “It seems to work fine when I’ve used it, but that’s only been with loose masks.”

It does work OK for stuff like that, but trying to track “difficult” objects isn’t very accurate in this version.

[Oliver Peters] “Of course, you also have Mocha AE and AE’s own tracker as part of the CC package.
“

True. I don’t need to do this a lot in Pr so I’ll just do it in X and export a comp if it comes up. I always have X open with a copy of the Pr project anyway since it’s easier for me to find stuff (generally SFX, but filmstrip view for long feature sources comes in handy too) in X and then relocate it in Pr. Charlie = cheap. 🙂

[Oliver Peters] “This gets us back to the need for a “send to Motion” option from inside FCP X.”

Yes, it does. 🙂

[Oliver Peters] “Are saying you only got a single-app subscription to PremierePro CC?”

Yep. 🙂

[Oliver Peters] “That doesn’t make a lot of financial sense compared with a standard CC subscription”

Well, since I don’t currently need to use any of the other stuff, I figured it’s not worth the $360 a year. That $$ has paid for stuff I use more frequently in X. I can always upgrade if I need to…

[Oliver Peters] “added built-in bezier masking and tracking for each clip. It’s built right into the effects control panel.”

The odd thing, assuming it’s using bits of code from AE, is that the tracking isn’t really very good right now. Slice-X in FCP is way more accurate. Of course it isn’t built-in or free, but I guess ya get what you pay for… 😉

[Oliver Peters] “FWIW – this function is built-into Premiere Pro with Audition.”

To clarify, it works with Audition, PPro uses the standalone app as does X. So cheapskates like me who don’t subscribe to Audition don’t get that function. 🙂

[tony west] “If I want to paint out a cell phone I have to go into the stand alone suite.”

Yeah, that’s what I was referring to… Pretty easy though anyway.

[Mitch Ives] “Yes, that is certainly true. But, don’t say that here, the insecure people will be offended.”

Yeah, :sigh: what is it about software that brings out all this angst? Mac vs PC, NLE vs. NLE, Gamer vs Gamer, Spy vs. Spy?… wait, what?. Guess it’s just a guy thing. :shrug:

[Mitch Ives] “Almost makes me want to try FCP7 on the nMP. Almost…
“

well, a friend is running 7 (and other things) on just such a machine. Due to the architecture of 7, it’s really probably about the same as your 08, maybe a bit snappier. It runs OK on my 2012 iMac. As does Pr, MC, X etc, some of which have tracks. Which suck. 😉 They don’t scare me, they make me angry. lol

Say what you will about X, but it never tells me something I want to do “isn’t allowed” dammit!

[Herb Sevush] “Does RX4 come up as a plug-in within X?”

Not at this point unfortunately, but it’s just a couple clicks to get to it.. Be nice if they could integrate into the sharing pane like X2Pro does now. I hope we see more functions like that in an update.

[Herb Sevush] “for instance my specs for PBS are stereo on 1 & 2 and mono mix on 3&4. With the track mixer it’s very simple using sends and a submix. “

This is actually pretty simple in X as well. Hopefully we’ll get a “Role Mixer” or ability to route Roles to sends/busses. For now, worst case if you need mono comps of stereo stems you just need to prep a mastering project with the comps for what you need. Had to deliver this the other day and was really easy…

[Herb Sevush] “Also the ability to send audio to Audition for repair using the spectral analysis tool is amazing”

A nice feature for sure. in X, I use izotope – also amazing – for that. You do need to buy it though so there’s that. 🙂

[Chris Frantz] “It crashes when I import broadcast ready files and try to work with them others have said similar.”

FWIW, I regularly use similar sources as you (20-120 minute clips with 6-10 channel stems mix of stereo and mono) and I don’t get crashes. It does take a while to draw the waveforms though. Hopefully this is being addressed as we speak. 🙂

[Andy Field] “Easily solved…in audio preferences you can chose to import mono stereo clips as split track mono….done”

Not sure if that works when importing FCP 7 XML does it? I’ve got no problems importing audio into an existing project. Importing fcp 7 xml results in a bit of a mess…
