OK, bring it on, but I still want a decent desk top editing system, with a big screen etc. The point was if Tim goes full iPad, that would screw up desktop editing, but Bill bats 1000% in defense of Apple, so I am calibrated.

So will Tim redefine “professional” as running FCPX on an iPad Pro?

Thanks Noah. That works well.

This is a good reminder about trying to avoid shooting in AVCHD, if possible. It was useful when cameras had internal hard drives, but for the most part, camcorders have moved beyond that.

Many thanks. That works perfectly.

Movie audiences couldn’t care less, what editing system was used to cut a movie. The Hollywood system is quite resistant to change because the producers, expert editors, color correction etc are all very entrenched. When the first talkies came out the studios and theaters resisted, but the audiences flocked to the talkies and then Hollywood changed in a matter of a year or so. My guess it would take something for the big studios to change away from Avid. Of course a big change would be Avid going under, but even then it would probably be propped up.
Maybe a change will come from the small shops that find one or another software is better, cheaper or faster and they can shift far more rapidly than the Hollywood system. Hmm, I wonder what China will be using? The Great Wall movie is coming out this month. https://youtu.be/avF6GHyyk5c

Getting FCPX into film school is an uphill battle. The staff at our local film school all went PP after FC7 was abandoned and there is almost revulsion at the idea of X. As an off and on student, who uses FCPX, there it makes joining film projects more challenging. Of course their goal is to help students work in the Bay Area film community and there is little demand for FCPX skills. FCPX works well for me a individual film maker, but then I am not looking for a job.
Still Apple’s package should be attractive to some students.

I shoot a lot of sports and use 1080 p 60 fps. I drop it straight into a new timeline and FCPX plays it and the outcome is normal motion. Often I like to use slow motion and at 50% it looks great and much better than starting with 30 FPS. If it is output to the web, I let compressor set it up for 1080p and it sends it out at 60p (59.94 to be precise). Youtube does whatever it wants and it looks fine. Obviously, this is not for network TV.
My question why when the final is 30 fps (or in the case above 25 fps) would it be an advantage in X to convert from 60 fps to 30 at the beginning (or from 50 to 25)?

If you use your RAID disk as RAID 0, it is writing back and forth on two drives, it is much faster. No redundancy, but fast.

Both Vimeo and Youtube work well as “servers” for videos and give you various options to control access, whether by password or making the videos not searchable. I use compressor now with the 1080 p setting for online videos and that seems to work fine.
Once on Youtube or Vimeo, they can be accessed by various devices (phones, iPads, laptops etc) seamlessly.
