Yup, they seem to enjoy this “Storyline” concept…that’s worrying.
Hopefully, that and “Clip Connections” will both be optional, but I don’t know… -
If they do buy Avid, wouldn’t they kill support for AJA, MOTU, MATROX, BLUEFISH?
That would suck big time…

It’s a minor update and apparently still no XML from FCPX (that’s a shame)
But I’m reading this from Apple, were Clip Connections included before?https://www.apple.com/logicpro/specs/
“Clip Connections keep secondary material in place while trimming and moving the Primary Storyline.
Choose to hide or display Clip Connections in the timeline.”So, one can turn it on and off? (that would be good for FCPX)

[Steve Connor] “I found a great piece of software that lets you use your broadcast monitor to grade FCPX edits, it’s called Resolve, FCPX can send XML to it and apparently some professionals use it :)”
It should be noted that it’s a piece of software that requires a specific piece of hardware to do that monitoring.
And it’s called Blackmagic. -
[Aindreas Gallagher] ”
How much is actually left of pro-apps? does anyone know?”Check their https://www.apple.com/pro linky.
You’ll see an awfully outdated page filled with 2009 stories…
And there’s still FCStudio down there! This must be a good sign, huh?

[Steve Connor] ” [Christian Schumacher] “it won’t change in the foreseeable future.”
OK, I meant it shouldn’t change in the foreseeable future. And is based on Apple’s recent decisions to leave to third parties the workarounds to fully sustain FCPX in a collaborative workflow.

[tony west] “I use a broadcast monitor in the field while I’m shooting, and when I bring the stuff in it looks pretty much the same as what I saw out there.”
The lucky FCPX users working with a controlled environment are happy, indeed. Acquire, cut, finish and deliver; That’s what FCPX is for. The others who must rely on third parties to accomplish other things are the ones who always will be burned, and sadly are nowhere near Apple’s radar. Much of the hate and love FCPX is getting today is based on this fact, and unfortunately, it won’t change in the foreseeable future.

Given the myriad of digital aquisitions of today’s enviroment, I’d say “one size does not fit all” as FCPX has displayed problems in this regard as well. Granted I had those in 10.1 but for instance there’s a third party app that deals with this problem. It’s FCPX compatible. YMMV.
Gamma Shift Detector
Detects gamma shifts between source and destination media. It will tell you if the shift directly affects the pixels in the image or if it is just a mismatch in metadata.https://www.digitalrebellion.com/promedia/

[Jeremy Garchow] ” Can you have Thunderbolt without an intel processor?”
Not now, but here’s an excerpt from the link I posted before this:
“Should Apple apply some of its deal-making magic to Intel, the next iteration of the A5 processor (let’s call it A6) could marry Intel’s x86 platform to the ARM-based CPU core and Imagination-licensed graphics found in Apple’s chip. Intel could manufacture such a chip using their latest 3D-transistor technology, which is said to enable notable performance improvements without taxing battery. After all, Intel openly suggested it would welcome Apple’s custom silicon business, saying it “wouldn’t blink” if Apple approached them with an idea of doing a product that involves Intel’s architecture and Apple’s customized silicon design. Speculating further, the Apple A6 chip designed and manufactured in co-operation with Intel would take the MacBook Air to the next level of thinness and lightness.” -
[Jeremy Garchow] ” Maybe. Certainly someday as miniaturization becomes more powerful, but we aren’t there quite yet.”
Judging from Apple’s website, maybe this day is not very far away.
Perhaps the Macbook Air could be their only “big computer”?Notice also, that Apple is heavily investing in its own processor A5.
Isn’t that what is gonna be inside the Macbook Air?
