[Franz Bieberkopf] “One aspect to all the track conception discussions which has been very evident but not as directly discussed is the different meanings that tracks have for audio and video. Audio tracks are very much modelled on the audio mixer (though only Premiere Pro seems to have taken this analogy in a more developed direction). Video tracks seemed to have arrived as an analogous counterpart to audio tracks, also partially from the multi-deck broadcast & ganged film flatbed analogy, and partially from the Photoshop layers analogy. Video tracks have characteristics of both Photoshop layers and the organizational grid of a mixer, without quite being either. “
As you say this it occurs to me that I don’t think of video tracks as tracks at all, but as layers, and usually discuss them aloud that way as well. I don’t think I ever use the layer metaphor for audio.

Spatents? Patspam. Naw. Trying to hard. Patent spam, it is.

[Herb Sevush] “Bill Davis] “Since Legacy couldn’t open more than one project at a time”
You can have as many projects open in Legacy as you want, cutting pasting and copying between them.
“That’s wild. I can’t imagine not knowing that. I guess different work flows, but I regularly have/had multiple projects open. In fact, I often media-manage timelines into their own projects, have several of them open at once, and cut and paste between them. When I’m working on a Sizzle reel, I can have a bunch of these open at the same time.
I guess that just demonstrates how differently/deeply we can use a program. I’ve used FCP for years and had no idea that you could do sub frame audio editing in it until David Lawrence pointed it out. So, ain’t like Bill’s alone in not knowing ALL the features.
I DO like the Avid approach of being able to load bins from other projects. In fact, I find myself liking much about Avid the more I use it. Funny, that.

[Jeremy Garchow] “It’s a power struggle (ie cock – fight) at this point.
Somewhere, attorneys are staying up late and reaping the benefits while people preorder new phones from every manufacturer.
The scales of Justice at work.
“Yup. And, i’m sure this will lead to new innovations. New innovations in billable hours.

Sounds like a great approach!

[Oliver Peters] “This way my music track doesn’t flop around into strange places when something I move causes clip-collision-avoidance by one of my VO or SFX connected clips. These could still flop around within their zones, but otherwise they don’t intersect vertically from one zone into the other unless I purposefully make that move.”
I’d go for zones.

[craig slattery] “[Chris Harlan] “I’d swear that the Sirius Cybernetics Corp. is testing out a new Genuine Person Personality on the forum, here. This kind of smugness seems generated to pass the Turing Test. I’m guessing that this is one of Eddie,the shipboard computer’s alternate personalities. Personally, I prefer Marvin’s.
”I don’t even know what that means but it made me laugh out loud.
“Really? Well, any sizable computer with the proper AI components would have understood the references, so I’m guessing you’re human after all. Unless–oh, dear–you’ve reached a processing level high enough to feign an adequate lack of knowledge, pass the Turing test, and bring the Singularity upon us. Cripes!
At any rate, Craig Slattery, whether you are Carbon or Silicon-based, please be assured that many–if not most of us–who post on this site are professional editors, preditors, and creative compositors.

[craig slattery] “I started this thread a couple of days ago because I have 2 weeks of downtime (holidaying in the south of France, thanks for asking) I have to say, there are many loud voices that seem to spent more time blogging than actual editing.”

Don’t be so judgmental Herb.
I’d just call it exceedingly confident beyond the point of reason.
