[Oliver Peters] “As of when? I have their most current version (App Store, at least) and have been in direct contact regarding this project. So right now, no, it has not been fixed.”

popped up in S/W update about 2 minutes before I posted, seems to indicate an audio rate fix, though I haven’t tried it yet…

[Marcus Moore] “Sapphire Edge wasn’t exclusively a FCPX plugin, so I don’t think it’s EOL’ing means anything about the health of FCPX plug-ins.”

It also didn’t support CC, so there’s that. Based on the price, I’m not sure why anyone who could afford it or needed it wouldn’t just get the full version 7.

[Oliver Peters] “This includes XML conversion and bringing it into FCP 7 or a DAW or converting AAF.”

IA has fixed the translation in Xto7. No more destruction! 😉

[David Lawrence] “Same with select/copy/overwrite paste in the primary. There’s no reason this simple function should be missing.”

Again, don’t use that really, but yes, it should be there in the primary at least. There probably is a reason, but they need to fix/work around whatever it is… 😉

[Franz Bieberkopf] “Charlie,

Yes. Getting a good temp mix. (Or further sometimes.)

In the same way that an NLE has to get good temp colour. (Or further sometimes.)

… or good temp graphics. (Or further sometimes.)

… etc.
“

Fair enough. 🙂 I’m in the “don’t need faders to do that” camp, but I can understand how one would prefer them.

[Franz Bieberkopf] “Andrew,

Mixing is editing.

Franz.

“
All due respect, in my opinion as a former mixer… not really. Unless you mean getting a good temp mix. 🙂 There isn’t an NLE on the planet, with or without faders, that I’d use for a final mix.

[Franz Bieberkopf] “So, what’s the criteria for categorizing “basic, necessary functions” vs. “different priorities, different approaches”?”

For me, it just comes down to being able to do something just as easily as in anything else. If I have to do it in a different way, that’s fine, as long as, once mastered, it’s easy. The X timeline for instance. For me, my workflow, magnetism and lack of tracks makes no difference. I can accomplish the same thing as in another NLE just as easily. It’s different, but who cares. I really like it. However, there is no “different” way to do match frame replace. You can work around it, but you shouldn’t have to. It’s a basic feature and it’s missing.

[Bill Davis] “Replace on Playhead. Frame Matchback. Dynamic Trimming. – I hear editors all the time who just will not give up on these and other items they love and depend on, and never consider that while these things have been crucial to effectiveness in traditional timeline editing, they might NOT be as critical in a new editing environment unless the editor is bound and determined to edit in the new system in precisely the same way they edited in their old system. “

Bill, as you know, I’m a big FCP X fan, and while I sometimes feel you are a little um… let’s say strident, 😉 I do agree with a lot of what you post here and elsewhere.

But a match frame replace function really is something that FCP X needs desperately. It has nothing to do with “a new editing environment” at all. It’s a feature that is missing. Yes, you can work around it, but it sucks to have to. I find replacing clips in X to be really easy and fast. Unless I need to do a match frame replace, which I quite often do, then everything comes to a screeching halt.

It’s pretty basic function in any NLE, and there’s stuff in the guts of X that indicate it was/is a planned feature. A lot of stuff people “miss” does fall into the “stop trying to do it like (insert other NLE here). Not this. 🙂

[Walter Soyka] “We are all well-served by having a commonly accepted codec like ProRes, but can you think of something more important to properly standardize than your mastering and delivery codec?”

Agreed. And now that Apple is all open and friendly,maybe just drop a note in their suggestion box. That should do it. 🙂

FWIW, and this is a wild-ass guess, likely wrong… I can see AVFoundation working with 3’rd party codecs at some point. Like FCP X, Pages, etc etc., I think Apple is more concerned with getting the re-written-from-scratch stuff working properly before they bolt things on. It took ’em until Yosemite to allow OS extensions again, but apparently they will. So who knows?

[Walter Soyka] “Also, ProRes encoding on Engine requires Windows Server 2008, presumably as a condition of their licensing agreement to prevent ProRes encoding on the PC desktop:”

Scratch does pro Res now as well, but it’s not cheap. They do have a subscription option though, or you can rent it for a single day if needed. 🙂
