[David Mathis] ” I have a mid 2012 Mac Pro so this could be an issue?”

I don’t think so, I see the same thing on my late 2012 iMac. It’s seems like audio is the issue, video only sequences play back fine…

[Oliver Peters] “Any idea whether 10.10.2 is any better? “

Don’t really know… Hopefully the UI is getting more tweaks as well as the usual bug squishing.

[Oliver Peters] “Do you sense any improvement with FCP X in Yosemite? I’m on a 2009 MP and it feels slightly snappier, but it could just be wishful thinking. Core audio has been changed enough to mess with the third party peripherals.”

It does seem a bit faster to me as well, though not really quantifiable. Pr and even FCP 7 do too, so maybe it’s the Kool-Aide. 😉 I think the changes to the Core Foundations, as well as the new Extension thingies open up some interesting possibilities.

Also, something’s happening with scripting, evidenced by the fact that X2Pro now hooks into FCP X. FCP X doesn’t have a Dictionary (I looked) but there’s a ProVideo Asset Management suite which X2Pro uses. I think that’s new…

[Oliver Peters] “Which is ironic, considering you can’t use iCloud Drive with 10.9.5 or iOS versions older than iOS7. That’s looking out for your customers. :-/
“

True, but plain vanilla iCloud still works as it always did. You want the new hotness you gotta update.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “Charlie when will we know when you have cut in?”

Well, for some random reason this week I’ve been cutting in FCP 7. It’s awful. 😉

[Aindreas Gallagher] “when can we together turn as one to strangle old FCPX?

but we light a fire, Suvesh advances through the trees.
X is unguarded and Herb is, as I understand it, effectively from Jersey.”

Too late, I’m afraid FCP X is undead Aindreas.

[Oliver Peters] “I tried that. Makes the UI even worse. Contrast also messes with the display setting which isn’t great for video. “

Fair enough. 🙂 I kinda like it, and they are tweaking it with every update. Did you try the public beta? That was painful…

[Aindreas Gallagher] “You’re all hopping around on one leg with tribal feathers in your hair constantly shouting that everything is ok here.

it’s not.”

Here’s the thing, I can cut in whatever I want. I own or rent all the “A” NLE’s, as well the R NLE and a couple others. I’m quite proficient in at least 3, if you include FCP 7, and I could be back to “get a gig” speed in MC in about 2 days if I needed to be.

You seem to be operating under the assumption that the only NLE I ever use is X. You are mis-informed. If FCP X disappeared tomorrow the only effect it would have on me would be that I’d have to cut in an NLE that I don’t really like. I’ve gotten quite used to the alternative to track tetris, but I can still play that old game. 😉

[Oliver Peters] “Of course, if their UI design is as awful and eye-strain-inducing as Yosemite,”

FWIW, Use Dark Menu/Dock, and check increase contrast in accessibility settings. Much nicer. 🙂

[Peter J. DeCrescenzo] “In a recent COW article, Charlie Austin writes about how wonderful the Final Cut Pro X user interface is …”

Well, that’s because it is. 😉

[Peter J. DeCrescenzo] “Apologies in advance while I vent”

That was truly epic Peter. Well done. lol (I’m really not being sarcastic, great rant!)

Seriously though, i wish I was up your way, I’d get you sorted out in about 30 minutes. I hope you can find someone to help out, it’s really not as confusing as it first seems.

Good to see you back Aindreas. 🙂

[Aindreas Gallagher] does it breathe like pages

If I recall correctly, Pages still exists. It’s really good and improving quickly.

[Aindreas Gallagher] does it breathe like aperture

Have you seen the replacement for Aperture? Please share details…

[Aindreas Gallagher] does it breathe like FCP 7

It’s replacement, FCP X, crushes FCP 7, whether you or anyone else like it is another story.

[Aindreas Gallagher] does it breathe like shake or colour,

Now those are dead, but parts of both still exist in current apps. In the case of Color, Apple probably decided that competing with great, free apps wasn’t worth it. But who knows…

Another one you forgot is: Does it breath like Logic?

[Aindreas Gallagher] “ask yourself, as you hold your new special magnetic powers, whether the aperture people are currently left holding their own… well, finish that sentence.
“

I could just as easily claim that the new Photos app will be 100 times better than Aperture. But I have no idea, and neither do you. 😉
