Thanks for posting this!
I think, as I’m parsing this, that tags will be useful, but that colors will just stay colors even though they are now tags. Too many people will have too many uses for the colors, so I think they will remain–for me–“hey, notice this!” the tags, though–logging all elements to a job so that if they move beyond folders they can still be traced to a particular show?! That’s great.

[Ronny Courtens] “If you see your face appearing here and you don’t want it to, just click on your photo and select Remove. You have full control over this.
– Ronny”
Yes, Ronny, that’s good to know, but he may not even know his face is up there, and he didn’t put it there, which is the only point I’m trying to make. But, I don’t want to further interrupt the glee you are all having from burning him at the stake, so please continue. Sorry for the interruption.

[Ronny Courtens] “The guy says about FCPX (quote) “the times I’ve used it have been few and far between.”
Is this the same guy who is listed as a Cow Master in the FCPX Techniques forum? LMAO!!”
I appreciate the irony, but you should also know that Kevin has no control over where or how his face shows up in the cow faces. I had nothing to do with getting my face posted above in this forum, other than posting frequently and passionately for a long time. I’ve also seen my face show up in forums that I didn’t really feel apart of.

I get from reading others that this is about creating dissolves like many DAWs do. The short answer is that I wouldn’t want that to be the default action, and hope it never becomes that way.

[Daniel Neutzsky-Wulff] “My workflow as follows:
1. Edit the commercial using native ProRes 4444 files in Premiere.
2. Export a MOV from Premiere using 1080p/25 DNxHD 444 10-bit.
3. Drop the MOV in a new Premiere timeline on a Mac.
4. Export final MOV as ProRes 4444.
“Strikes me as being fine. I haven’t run this particular combo, but you’re logic works. To test, I would probably reconvert the ProRes 4X4 back to DNx and then do a split screen side by side on the PC to look for gamma shift issues. Sounds good, though

[David Wolf] “Thanks.. I think I’ll just work in Vegas Video then import the timeline in another format. I like the option of working in the same video track and things not disappearing.
“Its been many years since I worked with Vegas, and I’m curious what you are talking about. How can you have more than one video in a single track? And what do you mean by disappear? I’m having a very difficult time imagining what you are talking about.

[Oliver Peters] “[Bill Davis] “After all, pretty hard to bring a “wall of cards” on the airplane if you need to work on something during a long flight”
The point of the cards is not for the editor, but also for the benefit of director, writer, producers and various parties involved. There’s no way these folks have the same direct understanding of how changes in an edited sequence relate to the flow of the story. I think you are hung up on the cards being tied to organizing media in the software. They are completely unrelated.”
I would also add that if you are talking about a blockbuster feature film–nobody is taking the project to work on an airplane. The scale is much different. Project size, team coordination, security. People aren’t sitting in first class chopping up chunks of The Avengers. And security wouldn’t even allow that for promos. That stuff is going in safes at night, and isn’t allowed off the premises of wherever it is being worked on. Its a very fanciful notion to suggest that anybody would be working on something like that on a long flight.

[Charlie Austin] “I’m really not supposed to say this, but I heard the next version of X will, in fact, be able to perform surgery.”
Exactly what part of Nondisclosure Agreement do yo not understand?!

[Steve Connor] “Question to happy FCPX users – do you really care if FCPX is used to make Hollywood movies?
I don’t.”
That’s the thing, right there. What makes it special, makes it less useful in a highly specialized environment, and making fit that environment will, of necessity, make it less special.
The blockbuster movie thing is a fine PR goal, but I would be even more impressed if it were used for open heart surgery.

[Ty Vann] “Some opinions are more informed then others, therefore less biased (i.e., more fair, if you want a definition).
“Kevin’s got a lot of experience, and you may disagree with his take, but I believe he’s probably pretty well informed on the Post scene in Toronto, and has a fairly clear eye to what is and what is not being incorporated there.
[Ty Vann] “ow is it misinformed…? See Mr Austin’s post above or the posts at fcp.co. Overall the article is a reactionary piece, more appropriate for 2011 than 2013.”
I agree. Charlie had some interesting bones to pick. Sorry if I came across harshly. We are all passionate about these issues.
