[Jim Giberti] “Perfect, no translation necessary.”
I thought it was pretty funny.

[Bill Davis] “Not out of FCP-legacy you didn’t. Unless you spit out a standalone file, opened up an email app, used the finder to navigate to that file. attached it to the email , and sent it on it’s way. then navigated back to FCP.
“You make it sound so hard, Bill. All that “navigating.” And, here, all I thought I had to do was click a few things. So, with FCP X, what happens when you want to use something other than the couple of bundled services? I guess you’ve got to get your parka on and set forth navigating.

[Andrew Richards] “Chris Harlan] “And why–after all this time–would Apple finally embrace USB3? Not that I don’t think they should. They should have done that a couple of years ago. But why would they now?”
I’m not saying they would, just that they could.”
No, I know. My response was actually aimed more at the poster who you were responding to, and in support of what you were saying.
[Andrew Richards] “Apple was not an early adopter of USB2 either.”
That’s true.
[Andrew Richards] “Plus, USB3 is hardly ubiquitous even now. “
I disagree with that a bit, though. Its been standard on MacBook Pro-comparable portable workstations for quite a while.
As to Thunderbolt–I finally jumped in because there are finally enough devices to justify my upgrade, and I’m very happy with the speed. If a few more devices come out, I’ll stop thinking about USB3 entirely.

[Herb Sevush] “[Bill Davis] “If that’s true Herb, then we should have seen all the traffic here migrate to the Premier and Vegas, and AVID boards. ”
Go check out the PPro board and you’ll find a bunch of the names that used to pop up here last spring.
“And, the Octo-mom gets more attention then most other mothers. Can you infer from that, that she has a superior method for raising children?
[Herb Sevush] “[Bill Davis] “Legacy EOL has been a fact for the best part of a year. Plenty of time for people to have left it for another program. ”
Actually, it’s not. I want to change, but I’m still committed to Legacy for now. I was hoping to be able to switch before June, when we start our next season, but that’s dependent on what happens in April. It’s possible, though I am loath to admit it, that I will still be on Legacy for another year. I don’t think I’m that rare a case.
“Not at all. I’m in a similar boat with much of my work. And, that has to do with several factors beyond my immediate control. Many people I know are in the same place, as well.
[Herb Sevush] “[Bill Davis] “I’d argue that the health of this board is ABSOLUTE proof of the “intrinsic” merit of X. It’s sparked and generated the largest on-going on-line debate of NLE design, structure and use that any of us have ever seen.”
You’d argue and I’d disagree. I’d argue that if this product was released by Boris or Grass Valley you’d never have heard of it, much less used it. I’d further argue that if Apple had released this product concurrent with ongoing support of Legacy this “debate” forum would be unnecessary. This forum is testament to the power of Apple and the dominance of FCP. The Techniques forum is proof of the merit of X, and that forum is quite busy indeed.”Again, Octo-mom. Is she the mother of all moms, or what?

[Andrew Richards] “[Tapio Haaja] “And I guess Macbook Pro refresh what we’ll propably see in a month will include USB3 ports. So do they wan’t to release new MacPro now with features that are somewhat worse than in their Macbook Pro?”
USB3 can be added with a third party controller if Apple is worried about USB feature parity.
“And why–after all this time–would Apple finally embrace USB3? Not that I don’t think they should. They should have done that a couple of years ago. But why would they now?

[tony west] “Of course, I think most people know I’m not suggesting we are all working on the same shows, that should go without saying.”
Sorry if I misunderstood you. It seemed to me you were strongly implying that even large shows max out at 4 ISOs, let alone the small ones. And yes, I think most people know we are not all working on the same shows.
[tony west] “The audio might be handled funky by X right now in that case but still can be done.”
That’s good. For my particular job, the trade-off wouldn’t be anywhere near worth it, but I certainly see where it would work well for many people.
[tony west] “There are a gazillion shoots where there is only one person on camera at a time.
Carpet commercial, hotel spot it’s election time some politician standing there talking.
“Of course there are. Do you somehow think I’m arguing that there are not? My response to your earlier statement was focused only on the assertion that jobs top out at four ISOs, which was apparently my mistake by misinterpreting what you were saying. Again, if I misunderstood you, sorry.
[tony west] “Then the other extreme I described. If there is a job with 20 mics or more without a truck there to mix it, I wouldn’t want to work that job anyway.
“Yeah, that would be a challenge. Fortunately, I’ve never seen such a thing in the kind of format you are talking about.

[Jeremy Garchow] “[Chris Harlan] “Or I could buy a copy of Episode Engine for the price of the Macbook Pro and TBolt drive. Of course, that seems just dumb.”
I’m just saying, you don’t need a Mac or Episode to deliver ProRes, and they are cheaper than an MBP.
“I thought I knew what you were talking about, but maybe I don’t. What are the cheeper ways? Sounds intriguing.

[Jeremy Garchow] “There’s plenty of ways to make ProRes movies from an external hardware recorder from a baseband video source.
“Or I could buy a copy of Episode Engine for the price of the Macbook Pro and TBolt drive. Of course, that seems just dumb.
[Jeremy Garchow] “Did you read today that 51% of US households have an Apple product (according to a cnbc poll)? Craziness.
