Courage, Tim. Courage.

Too busy ducking around.

[Jeff Markgraf] “PS – I just don’t get the “Premiere is the FCP8 we really wanted” trope. I don’t find Premiere to be anything like FCP Legacy. Other than having tracks. ;-)”

I suppose it depends on how you used it, but I find it to be true, not a “trope.” Of course, now its more like FCP 9.7. There’s a LOT more in common than having tracks. If you need some examples, try multiple open timelines, using timelines as bins, and an interface that can be arranged in a whole variety of configurations. Those things might not be of value to you personally, but they are very much like Legacy.

So, you’re not a fan of Final Cut Pro: what a Bag of DXXXs?

I only spent an hour there today. I’ll probably go back by tomorrow. I think “meager” because I was expecting more concentration. But really, VR and 360 were scattered in small doses around the show. I saw a terrific demo from a company called Koncept VR.

Here’s the video that was at center of the VR as a 360 video:

And here’s a fun device that you wear that basically takes the subwoofer track off of a 5.1 mix and turns it into a palpable vibration.

Also, a good presentation on VR tools from a company called Mettle:

Really, there’s VR and 360 all over the show, but in little pockets.

[Tim Wilson] “The reason why I think it won’t work for narrative just yet is that it takes out the narrator! The whole point of narrative, editing, everything we do is look HERE.

The point of VR is, look AROUND.

And it’s compelling because I’M doing the looking, not you. I’m looking at what *I* want to see.
“

I disagree a wee bit. Certainlymuch of the joy of VR is the ability to look around where you want to, but I think its pretty easy to direct attention in that environment. I’m positive that well directed scripted content can be exciting in VR, and that your eyes can be easily driven to where they’re supposed to go. Imagine being in the center of the set of The Big Bang Theory or in an office space on Parks and Rec and comic mayhem is taking place on all sides of you. I think it would be fun to be swiveling back and forth, caught in an argument between Leslie and Ron.

I saw some great demos today at NAB over in the relatively meager “virtual reality pavilion.” I’m hopeful for VR, far more so than I ever have been for any kind of 3D.

[Jeremy Garchow] “I literally think we are having different conversations on timecode.
“

As I’ve been reading through this thread, I think there is actually a lack of understanding on the part of some of what time code actually is.

So, if I’m following correctly, you’re saying that FCP is the Kenny G of the NLE world?

[Chris Harlan]

They?! Why, they is a plain and fancy they. That’s who “they” is. Caught you, didn’t they? Tied a tin can to your tail, led you in and waltzed you out again. Oh, my what a bunch.
