[Jim Giberti] “we’ve been doing a ton (for a boutique shop) of fairly complex work in X since the 1.0.4 update”

So 1.0.4 has given you the stability you need? No more nightmares? (touch wood)

[Richard Herd] “And I was trying to help be less obtuse. “

And, one last thing. I’m not arguing against you use of “intonation.” In fact, one of my Profs. preferred it. Of course, he taught the class in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), so he had quite the linguistics leaning. I just object to your rather heavy-handed rejection of my usage without bothering to ask yourself in there might actually be a place for it. Obtuse? Really?

[Richard Herd] “There you go, now you know” bla, bla, bla.

Oh, and try this article by this guy: https://www.robertcohendrama.com/articles-reviews/rev-english-secret.html

PS I’m also an actor and we use the term correctly in both theatre, theater, film, and improv.

There you go, now you know more than did yesterday.

Oh dude! Bazitch fight, eh? You are just gonna SCHOOL me, right? Really, you shouldn’t get so snippy. And, if you are going to post such things you should take the time to do a little Googling to make sure you are actually right. Yes, I’m aware of the linguistics definition. And, I was an actor for quite a while, though my AFTRA card is long expired. I have a BA in Theatre. I also spent many years in pro workshops when I was younger, and even got to spend a semester in an intensive RSC workshop. I also took a number of Public Speaking classes, which used the same definition, because both disciplines take much of their structure from the classical study of Rhetoric.

If you had bothered to look a little harder, you’d have found that my usage is fairly common.

Here are a whole bunch of different usages. Mine is def. 16: https://www.encyclo.co.uk/define/inflection

Or, try this one: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/inflection_2

Or, how about this WiseGeek article on Elocution: https://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-elocution.htm

Here’s a little history for you. Note that “Inflections” are one of the seven basic principles of Elocution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elocution

Hey, here’s another one. My usage is def 1: https://dictionary.reference.com/browse/inflection

But wait! There’s more–The specific kind of inflection I was referring to is actually know as “Circumflex inflection.” You can find out about that here: https://www.ehow.com/info_10012295_inflection-speech.html

Hey! Check out the definitions on these Theatre Arts flash cards: https://quizlet.com/2339413/theater-exam-terms-flash-cards/

OR, the Broadcast Handbook that shows you a nifty shorthand for actually scripting inflection: https://books.google.com/books?id=_EriWkTePLsC&pg=PA136&lpg=PA136&dq=Circumflex+inflection&source=bl&ots=T7b62xa7up&sig=zI2FlCy8YLv4fO2KJ93SX6BSZMk&hl=en&sa=X&ei=KqqqT4OhIOGpiQLL3qC3Ag&ved=0CEcQ6AEwCDgK#v=onepage&q=Circumflex%20inflection&f=false

Dude, I have no problem with differing POVs or debating what is appropriate terminology, but I’m not crazy about all the condescending “you don’t know what you don’t know,” and the blithe “There you go, now you know more than did yesterday.” Its unbecoming.

[Walter Soyka] “so here’s one of my favorite Pr/Ae shortcuts — the grave key (`), immediately next to the 1 on the US keyboard, and often mistakenly called the tilde key. Press it once and it will maximize the panel under the cursor (hiding all other panels); press it again and it will restore all panels to their previous sizes and locations.

Score!

[David Lawrence] “I’m talking strictly about the timeline interactions themselves – the way you work the mouse or the keyboard, the kinds of editorial strategies and methods you might approach an edit from. Most of the editorial tools and the flexibility you expect is there and works in exactly the same way. Or sometimes better. Most of the UI differences are minor and trivial to adjust to.”

That’s certainly what I got with my brief few hours last night. I felt very much at home. Its going to be a fun summer.

[Jeremy Garchow] “I’ve had a few dings, but nothing like that.

I would suggest searching on how to trash your media cache files. You’ll find some good reads.
“

I’m going to that as soon as work slows a bit, and I get my copy of CS6.

[Chris Harlan]

[Jeremy Garchow] “In my experience, there is a difference. It’s not better or worse, you just have to adjust to how you probably worked in Premiere.
“

Actually, I appreciate both this and what you wrote above. I get where you are coming from because these kinds of differences would be reflected in my workflow, and this lets me start thinking about them.

Hey, have you gotten a crash where the video stops functioning in a frozen frame but nothing else seems to be altered or frozen? And then, if you push it, you end up with what seem to be blown-up bit-maped tools, sliders or buttons from the program in place of the video in the record and/or source monitor?

[Steve Connor] “So that’s it, if you’re moving on from FCS3 then all our options are now before us (apart from the small matter of the Mac Pro)

Has the release of CS6 enabled you to make a decision about your future NLE of choice?
“

I’m playing with it a bit, but I’m also working, so I’m not playing with it a lot. I like a lot of what I see, but I’ve seen some stability issues as well. Could be me, could be it, could be my laptop. Can’t really tell. But it is too soon for me to hop on and say yeee-haa! If I do decide that this is going into the FCP 7 slot, next to Media Composer–and there is a fair chance I will–then I will slowly integrate it into my work habits through summer–and be prepared to power use it in fall. I’m also still interested in Smoke, but some elements of that may be far afield of where I am headed, so, again, I will play with that through the summer. The thing is–dag nabit!–I still like FCS 3. But, hey, its great to have these choices.

[Eric Fiegehen] “”Far more apparent? Kill off? I’m not really sure its a matter of intention as much as it is a matter of forgetting to put the food and water in the dishes in the next room, until one day the barking stops.”

LOL – I guess some people require less subtlety, like a brick dropped on their heads.

Hey man, I would totally dig it if a new Mac Pro came out, or even an iMacPro. I’ve just decided to stop torturing myself with thoughts of what if. I figure she’s got herself a new boyfriend, and that’s fine. I’m not gonna sit around and wait for the phone to ring. I figure if we run into each other in a couple of years, and we’re both still single–well, who knows.
