[Aindreas Gallagher] “” chippy and snotty with Craig Slattery” yeah, I was a bit of a wanker there “
As I recall, Craig could hold his own in the “chippy and snotty” wanker department. I thought it was all one glorious prize fight.

“If you look a little more closely, I think you’ll find that the issue that you linked to has to do with relinking XML translations from FCP 7. My guess is that there is something in the XML that Premiere is having issues with, and that’s why it is taking so long.

[John Davidson] “Blame my Merlot!”
I hereby nominate “Blame the Merlot” as the official motto of this forum. Any seconds?
Oh, and drive-wise, it might be a little pricy for this, but you can reuse for good times later. I’ve got one of those LaCie TBolt/USB3 SSD drives. Its pretty fast, though it would only give you 256GBs for your faux system drive, but maybe that’s enough.
Here’s a MacRummors thread where a bunch of folk debate the same thing:

[Oliver Peters] “Part of the equation is not WHAT you cut with. Rather, can you guarantee the product and the schedule that an established workflow is known to supply? That’s the key.”
Bingo.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “[Chris Harlan] ” But this thread is basically calling him a liar ”
that is incorrect “
As I said earlier, I get the discomfort over the fuzziness of it all. I think, though, that when you call a thread “Why is Larry Jordan Making Up Stories?” you are casting aspersions, whether that is your intention or not. It could have been called “Does LJ know what he’s talking about?” or “What LJ’s Saying Makes No Sense,” but the title specifically accuses him of making things up.

[Oliver Peters] “While he might have been given some hints, I’m guessing that he’s simply reading the tea leaves like the rest of us.
“I guess. But this thread is basically calling him a liar in regards to conversations with mystery editors on Bulgarian 100M films, so that’s really what my response is about.

[Oliver Peters] “Methinks he knows just about the same information (plus a few dropped hints from insiders) as do those of us who drop into this forum.
“I’d agree, other than his statement seems to be based on something, whether its facial expressions from this mystery editor or something else.All I’m saying is that I’ll give him the benefit of my trust that he’s not just blowing smoke for Apple, or making things up out of whole cloth. Even if it turns out that there is nothing there, I’ll just assume he was wrong instead being manipulative or lying.

I get the fussing over the blurriness.
And, of course, no Studio is going to dictate that all their products be cut with any particular NLE from this day forth, because it just doesn’t work that way. Projects of that size are loose affiliations of companies, both internal and external, and the production tools, from choice of camera to choice of NLE, are the provence of the production, itself. In general, no one is going to tell an editor on any A level film what they have to use. So, that’s just some odd misstatement.
To play devil’s advocate, though: Maybe there actually are significant, powerful changes in this next X, which is Larry’s other recent odd, unsubstantiated blurb. And maybe there is something going on behind the scenes that we can’t see.
And maybe it is smoke and mirrors. I’ve never met him, but from what I know of him, and the little correspondence I’ve had with him, I like Larry a lot. He seems like a great guy, so I’m going to side with there’s something there I can’t see, and not worry too much about it. If it turns out that he’s misinformed, oh, well. But I don’t see anything nefarious here.

[Oliver Peters] ” iOS7 and other things point to Ive trying to return Apple back to the candy-colored first gen iMac era mentality. More “playful”, I guess.
“And most obvious among those other things would be the 5C.
