[Walter Soyka] “But yes, these iMacs look like they’ll be nice systems for most editorial work.
“Just when I thought Apple couldn’t innovate any further in 2012 they came up with the fastest laptop ever…
Oh, wait!
Having said that, their NLE update was pretty good and I’m not being facetious now 😀

[Marcus Moore] “Today’s FCPX user is tomorrow’s Pro, and they’ll continue to use it if it grows with them; the same way Legacy FCP did, the same way Premier did, and the same way Avid did way back”
While this can be reasonable sometimes, I don’t think you can solely rely on past behavior to predict the future.
Specially if that timeframe is longer than an entire decade and we’re talking about computer technology here.As to foretell how Apple will further advance with its professional NLE, we should rhetorically ask ourselves:
-How Apple Pro Apps are being developed TODAY? (meaning Logic and Aperture)
-What are Apple’s priorities regarding their hardware TODAY? -
[Steve Connor] “I still find it so amusing that the inference in many of theses discussions is that somehow the way FCPX works, limits your creative possibilities as an editor.”
On the other hand, I’m amused by the inference in many of these discussions is that somehow the way FCP legacy works, limits your overall performance as an editor.
[craig slattery] “In legacy FCP having two multiclips 20 mins long on the time line, the system would be shitting itself. X didn’t miss a beat. It was incredible.”
At least from v.6 onwards FCP can handle massive multi clip timelines populated with dozens of 8 or 9 or 10 or more angles, so I laugh out loud at what some “X switchers” are spreading around. Get a load of this; It comes across as pure prejudice! In order to prove their points -or rationalize their choices- people are willing to go very far. How many times do we read something that understates what legacy workflows are actually capable of, only to prop up X in its place? Boy, that’s terribly common, so I know how you’re feeling, Steve.

[Jim Giberti] “Interesting. I draw a direct relationship to people enjoying controversy more than technical talk.
“Sure, but I don’t see this “controversy” as entertaining when is born from carreer angst and industry worries.

[Bret Williams] “Think of the hurdles. How would I even get the file onto a 92 avid?”
I didn’t say there wasn’t any pain involved, only that’s not only possible to get an edit from a past system but actually the other way too, and I guessed that was relevant to the problem Mr. Wardlow was addressing. As to your question, even 20 years ago there was network access.

The expression anecdotal evidence refers to evidence from anecdotes. Because of the small sample, there is a larger chance that it may be true but unreliable due to cherry-picked or otherwise non-representative samples of typical cases

[Bret Williams] “Can Avid open a composer file from 1992?”
Not sure from 92, but an Avid bin can be interchangeably opened by any avid system…
Meaning that a sequence created today on Avid 6 can be opened in an ancient one from the 90’s.
(and of course, an older one can also be opened in a newer system)Of course there are some gotchas, like features that didn’t exist or some that have changed, etc…
Not talking about media here, but editing. -
[Herb Sevush] “In fact most people are quite shy about publishing in public on any forum, the ratio of lurkers to posters must be very high”
There’s a somewhat poor thermometer for that; Twitter’s “tweets” and Facebook’s “likes”.
Until this day, the FCPX debate forum had 18 tweets and 115 likes.
While the FCPX techniques had 1 tweet and 5 likes.I reckon the techniques forum is a lot newer than this one, but I still count that as an anecdotal evidence that FCPX is not only in its infancy, but pretty much raising uncertainty regarding its future.
Is that due to the ‘haters hatin’ or the mother’s mishandling of her newborn?

I firmly believe Bruce is there in FCPX, somewhere!
