You’re f—ing joking?! Really? That’s dumb.

I just thought you were joking. I guess not.

This is a troll, right?

Wow. That’s a bummer.
Am I wrong–is this whole trackless thing there to make the magnetic timeline work? Seems like a poor tradeoff.
Here’s a call to FCP X evangelists–do any of you see more evolved audio mixing features that will be able to coexist with the magnetic timeline, or is it an either/or situation?

Sean, I think you are reading snark in my post that wasn’t there. Or, at least, wasn’t meant to be there. I simply meant by “luxury” that my delivery requirements are heavier than I would like. Personally, I would love to not have build all of the tracks I have to.

That would be nice. It would be a step toward making it usable for me. What about mixing? As I said, I didn’t get that far. John Pale’s experience seems to have not been good. What is yours? How exactly do you mix without tracks?

I have to say that Craig has posted some well-ballanced comments, not just evangelizing, but also pointing out downsides. We’ve all gotten a little blow-hardy, though I must say, Aindreas, that the operatic heights that you’ve striven to maintain are magnificent. I’m still laughing over “story holes.” I’m with Marvin, that I would like to see something more come out of this program. The only way I know how to even try to make that happen is to shout ‘The emperor has no clothes!” I’m completely with Aindreas about that. Craig, I do appreciate some of the things you are doing, but do you really think that slim little list of promises from Apple would have materialized at all if it weren’t for the noise?

Craig, fyi, I do appreciate the even-handed tone and centered POV that you’ve brought to this discussion.

Chris, if you are right, that’s great. I guess my question would be, if this stuff is all so doable in such a short period of time, why wasn’t in done in the years before this current release? Also, I think you greatly underestimate the number of items needed for it to be a comparable high-end tool set. Undoubtedly, someone will cut a feature on it in next six months, and that would have been astounding a decade ago. Now, not so much.
I do appreciate your evangelism, and certainly, I can see how FCPX might even fit into my own future. If EDL/XML support gets enabled, and the rumored iPad pro comes about, I can certainly see incorporating that into my work flow. What I don’t see though, is using it as my main editorial device. I don’t see its paradigm developing in a direction that makes advantageous for High-end Industrial use. (By Industrial, I mean large-scale, factory-like; not video work for a particular industry) I’d love to be wrong. I’ve been an FCP booster for many years.

True enuf! I forgot. Curious to see if it makes the next suite.
