“LOL. I see that the newest Mad Max vehicle is coming out next year, though its been de-Gibsoned. Bane is now Mad Max.

[Dennis Radeke] “[Chris Harlan] “Premiere doesn’t support control surfaces at all”
We support them in Audition today and know that surface support in Premiere Pro is important for the future.
“
Good to know. I really like how beefy the mixer is in Premiere. It would be terrific to see it taken to an external mode.

This is/was a terrific iPad audio control surface for FCP 7 that uses Mackie Machine Control as an interface.

Sadly, Avid doesn’t support MMC, Premiere doesn’t support control surfaces at all, and FCP X doesn’t know what a mixer is. But hey, if you’re using 7, its a fun little iPad ap.

Agreed.

[Jules bowman] “Stick with FCP7 for now. Demo PP6. The future is changing for some but to be honest X isn’t the editing messiah, it is just a very naughty boy.

[Andrew Richards] “Too soon indeed then. That was supposed to be black comedy, I know very well how bad a time that was.
“And I responded far too sharply. There was just so much anger for so long. In film school, I had teachers that had been black-listed. Al Levitt was my second year writing teacher, and what happened to him and his career was just awful. On the other hand, “Hollywood” took care of him, too. Folks like Walt Disney knowingly hired him under his pseudonym, for which, he was ever grateful. Of course, Al’s been dead for almost a decade now, so maybe I should let it go some.

[Andrew Richards] “[Shane Ross] “I highly doubt FCX will ever see the proliferation that FCP 7 did in this town.”
Nobody does blacklisting like Hollywood.
“Knowing some of the people who lived through that, I’d just have to say that is a pretty cheep shot, and in no way comparable to anything happening with X.

[alban egger] “Maybe you have a workflow that only works with these features you mentioned, but in X I never missed a sync marker and also don´t feel the need for rearranging windows and tabbed-timelines. For Exambple I just use the back/forward-arrow, which when you hold them flip-open a list of recently used timelines. So little different, similar functuality.”
Hey, Alban!
For me, its not tabbed timelines that I miss so much, as it is having multiple timelines–or Canvases, really–actually open. In FCP7, there’s a trick that I think people who use single monitors are not aware of. Forgive me, if you know this. If, when using dual (or more) monitors, you un-tab a timeline and move it to a separate monitor, and then un-tab and move its corresponding canvas viewer to the same monitor, it becomes a separate, open timeline from the original timeline, and you can move between them by simply clicking on one or the other. I personally like the spatial relationships this allows me to set up between timelines I’m using for intermediate editing and my final timeline. Its probably the single thing I will miss most about FCPL.
As for the sync markers–I do a lot of micro surgery on audio and I find them very useful, both in the offsets that display on the timeline even if footage is unlinked, and in the canvas monitor in the form of the overlay for color-coded track timecode. Yes, I can get by without it, but its not something I want to get by without. Sadly no other NLE quite matches FCPL’s implementation of sync tools.
I’m certainly not saying that everyone needs these tools, or even that I can’t function without them, but I am pointing out that FCPL has some very useful tools for a certain set of people, and that there really are reasons other than fuddiness that people might be sticking with it, or otherwise mourning its passage.
